The September Issue

So last week, Lindsey discovered that The September Issue was playing in our town! I was so excited when she contacted me about going to see it with her. I know it was out but didn't think it would ever venture to our city!


The movie is a documentary about Vogue Magazine focusing on the September Issue of 2007 and director, Anna Wintour. I will tell you that I did already know who Anna Wintour was. I've been getting Vogue for many many years. However, I did not realize the September Issue each year was the "BIG DEAL" of year. They said the September issue is like January is to the start of a new year. It is the issue everyone sees to start things fresh.

This is the 2007 September Issue they were creating in the documentary...



While I do believe Anna Wintour is genius, I do think she is quite smug. She has the heart for fashion but I think that is about it. She literally just tells people to get out of her way!



Personally, I like Creative Director, Grace Coddington!



Sienna Miller was on the cover of the September Issue 2007. Here she is with Anna Wintour.



An interesting fact...I STILL have my 2007 Vogue September Issue! It is mint condition and the perfume samples still smell :) I remember when I found out Sienna was on the front and then how BIG the magazine was. It has been the biggest ever at 840 pages. I've been looking through it since last night and it's pretty interesting looking at all the things they were working on in the movie!



Lindsey and I went to a local cinema that neither of us had been to! It has been around for 80 years and was super cute! Of course, it has now been remodeled. Here it is in 1952...


Lindsey took a picture too but here are two that I found online...






I wanted to come back to Sienna Miller. I BIG HEART love her! I think she is so beautiful. Something about the blonde hair and darker eye brows, I really like....



She has two movies out that I have not seen I've been meaning to order on Demand...maybe this weekend. Have you all seen either??

Camille

Mysteries of Pittsburgh



Alfie & Factory Girl are my FAVORITE movies Sienna has done!



If The September Issue is playing close by and you like fashion, I highly recommend going to see it!

happy Friday!

Pictures of this wonderful life...

will soon me taken with this.....


YAY YAY YAY!!! I know, most of you remember that I got a new camera last Christmas from hubby. While I do love my G10, I decided I need a few extra features :) I believe the lens & flash will help me out! I want take one billion pics of Baby M as you may have guessed so this machine will do the trick! I'm thinking of putting my 10d for sale! Maybe Craig's List to start out with..for locals. If anyone is interested though, let me know! Here it is...

I also got another, bigger memory card. These come in handy....especially when they hold a LOT of pics :)


Just thought I would share this exciting news :)

In other news, TODAY IS MY DADDY'S BIRTHDAY! :) He is by far, the best dad ever :) I'm super excited he will be moving close to us soon!! I love you, dad! :) By the way, I know you and mom aren't picture people, but I AM going to make us have a picture photo shoot with Lisa in the near future!!


Today, I got a super duper sweet baby goodie basket on my porch today from my bestie, Cameron! it is SO cute with goodies! I'll post a picture soon!!

I also had a special treat tonight with Lindsey tonight :) More on that soon!

Hmm what else? Oh remember when I said "when it rains, it pours"? Well, yes. Yes, it does!! First off, Elton is well! Thank you for asking! He has a few bottom issues that I won't go into detail about...he has always had them. No, he doesn't drag his butt. No, he doesn't smell. It just gets puffy! HA sorry TMI!

The tires for hubby's car....well, we decided to go ahead and just get a whole new set instead of just the two he needed. So, that is kind of nice. Nice except for the cost of tires. BOO.

So, the worst of it all .....SOMEONE STOLE OUR CREDIT CARD INFO!!! Those damn hackers!!! We have only used the credit card once to buy something online and BAM! Almost $500 in Great Britain.....LOSER whoever you are! Of course we are trying to get it removed.

Our dishwasher...done-zo! Let me preface this by saying, I've been washing dishes by hand for months because the dishwasher is just old and doesn't clean for anything. Well, I thought I'd give it another go because I'm so tired to stand and do dishes. Well, no go! So, I need a new dishwasher! I know their are tons of brands out there! Any options on a dishwasher blog friends??

I think that is all for now! I missed the first running of the Housewives of OC so I'm going to catch it now!
