Holly Golightly’s (Audrey Hepburn) little black dresses in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” have long been lauded as a fashion staple. Unfortunately, other items in her wardrobe are sometimes overlooked. Below I pick out my favorite non-LBD Golightly  looks.

 

 

1. Never has sleepwear looked so chic. With a tuxedo shirt, turquoise eye mask and tasseled earplugs, Holly Golightly epitomized the glamorous morning after.

2. Even the glamorous need to relax. A gray sweatshirt and jeans were Holly’s go to leisurewear. Simplicity keeps this look far from neon Juicy Couture.

3. Ms. Golightly definitely wasn’t afraid of color. She dared to steal in an orange coat and successfully pulled off wall-to-wall pink.

Maybe we would all benefit from letting go and not taking ourselves to seriously. And the easiest place to start may be with our wardrobe.

The zombie rights issue is very controversial and hard to navigate. Here are some basic facts you need to understand the problem:

1. Zombies are not the enemy. They are living impaired people who want to be accepted despite their problem. Instead of killing the next zombie you see, try giving him or her a hug.

2. Zombies are not pets. The living impaired deserve to be treated humanely. Don’t make the infected mow your lawn, and if you go on a walk, do not force them to wear leashes.

3. Zombies have emotions. They can fall in love and be emotionally abused just like any one of us. So, don’t make fun of their situation.

We must remember: on a genetic level they are humans and they still have the capacity for emotions. If you’d like to support the cause, ThinkGeek has instructions on leading a Zombie Protest along with this T-shirt:

Instead of separate reviews for all the movies I’ve seen over the past several days, I present to you a brief DIE (description, interpretation, evaluation) of four films:

Paranormal Activity – A young couple films the weird events that stalk them learning not to mess with Ouija boards in a horror flick that’s more suspense than gore. Watch at night on the big screen for optimum scare.

Adam – A young man with Asperger’s struggles with change and love realizing his own capacity to feel in this comedic tear-jerker. Great rewatchability for rainy cozy sweater days.

The Men Who Stare at Goats – Military hippies create a Jedi army discovering the magic power inside them in this tongue-in-cheek look at psychic warfare. Good, but not great – wait for the DVD.

The Hurt Locker – A bomb disarmer finds his place in Iraq accepting his adrenaline addiction in a realistic war movie. Awesome on a big screen and def Blu-ray worthy.

Need something to tickle your dark funny bone? Check out the Avenging Unicorn Play Set. Cause who doesn’t want to see a unicorn impale a mime?

BTW were you wondering why it’s “unicorn” and not “unihorn”? I know I was. Turns out “cornu” is Latin for “horn.” And now you know!

Charles Addams is freaking awesome. He created the Addams family and drew over a 1000 cartoons for The New Yorker. Unfortunately he died in 1988.

I just bought a collection of his cartoons – “Happily Ever After: A Collection of Cartoons to Chill the Heart of Your Loved One.” It’s a must buy if you have a macabre sense of humor.

My flatmates and I weren’t the only ones celebrating Halloween early. Wag-o-ween is Savannah’s Halloween for dogs. On Saturday, furry best friends could go into a wide array of shops downtown for a doggy version of trick-or-treat. Turns out adorable animals look even cuter in costume.

We celebrated Halloween a little early at a costume party last night. The flatmates and I wanted wow-able costumes group style. After much brainstorming and a little thrifting we came up with this:

In case, you don’t recognize our rad duds here’s a hint:

We three are Buster Baxter, Muffy Crosswire and Arthur Read. Don’t get it? Then you’ve never seen Arthur, a wonderful pbskids’ cartoon that’s still running. It comes on weekdays at 5 and 5:30 – you should def catch it if you can.

Did you see “White Collar” on Friday? If you didn’t,  don’t worry – you can watch it now on hulu.

“White Collar” is USA’s new Friday 10 o’clock show. Jailbird con artist Neal Caffrey (the delicious Matt Bomer) swings a deal with the FBI agent who nabbed him, Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) – Caffrey becomes an FBI consultant for a limited get-out-of-jail-free card.

“White Collar” is an enjoyable, if slightly predictable, dramedy in the tradition of “The Sting” and “Catch Me If You Can.” And so far – it’s a must-watch.

Yesterday, after class, some friends and I went James McAvoy searching. He’s in Savannah for the Robert Redford film, “The Conspirator.” And, we found him (fan girl shriek)!

In case you, like many in the crowd who gathered by the set, do not know who James McAvoy is (blasphemy), allow me to explain. Mr. McAvoy starred in “Wanted,” “Atonement,” “Becoming Jane,” “Penelope” and my personal favorite, “Starter for Ten.” We have been slightly obsessed with him for the past three years. So, seeing him, less than 20 feet away, was basically a dream come true.

For the edification of those not equally McAvoy crazed, Evan Rachel Wood, Justin Long and Robin Wright Penn are also in “The Conspirator.”

Garfunkel and Oates are Riki Lindhome and Katie Micucci. The two actress/singers spread their wicked humor and innocent sound in the growing genre of comedy folk music. The duo plays up the contrast between their naive appearance and decidedly NSFW lyrics. A perfect blend of civility and cruelty – Garfunkel and Oates sing what you what you’re really thinking. The recently released their first EP, “Music Songs,” on iTunes.

Below is their most PG song. “Present Face” is a Christmas themed ode to unwanted gifts.
