Outstanding!
It must be because she never goes out in the sun without an enormous hat.
I keep meaning to get an enormous hat.
I’ll put it on the birthday list (two weeks today, people) though I enjoy being in the sun way too much. I guess I will look 80 long before Joanie ever does!

You better believe it.

But who are we sharing the airport with…
Vanessa Paradis? Fancy running into you, this way to the airport bus…

Hey Florence (sans la machine), the dolls are super busy, could you sign some autographs to keep the BOTD fans happy? Ta very much.


Ooh look. Lana Doll Rey.


Carey Mulligan! You’re getting a lot of coverage on Barbie of the Day this week. Remind me to give you my Botox dealer’s number, luv ya.


Ooh. Top Mo-Doll, Cara! Looking faboosh as ever. That is some ridonculous airport get up you are working there. We know how hard it is to look so amazeballs when travelling.


Maddest airport look obviously goes to Fan Bingbing…


But how did she get this enormous dress in that tiny LV case?

That’s all. See you on the other side.

Now that’s an amazing photo!
Mine, by the way, was taken by the fantastic Annabelle Moller. A photoshoot where we got almost as wet as Leo DiCaprio.
What about the lovely Carey Mulligan?

How old is she?
Do you know?
I always thought she was a kid.
But every time I have seen her promoting this movie I have thought, woah, gurl you is ooooooold. Well you know. Older than me. She’s gotta be older than me, right?
I’d guess 32 in this picture.
This picture says one thing, right?
BOTOX.
I wiki’d her. She is 28 in a few weeks. I’m 30 in a few weeks and look way younger.
Without a Dior gown.
Or an umbrella.
Anyway. This is the last Gatsby post. (*spoiler alert* Mulligan is featured in tomorrow’s BOTD.) Well until I see the movie.
So let’s look at two other amazing photos from last night that made me go woah.

Cara. Amazing! Like proper amazing. Looking way older than she is. But still amazing.
But the award for the fiercest photo on the red carpet has to go to Solange-don’t call me Beyoncé’s sister-Knowles.

Icon!

Summer is here! HERE!
I love London. It’s on all the time.
There is always something happening.
Somewhere.
With someone.
Less so here on the Côte d’Azur.
Until now that is.
May.
The party month on the Med.
The Festival de Cannes begins today and with the Monaco Grand Prix just around the corner, here suddenly feels the place to be.
The opening movie is the Great Gatsby. It will be big news whether the critics like it or not. But it doesn’t really matter. It’s all about the parties, right?
I spoke yesterday of my Gatsby excitement….
Shall we look at some posters?

Oooh.
Boys?

And girls?

And the dolls?

Amazing!
The frock.
The feathers.
The flappability!
What about….?

So chic.
So twenties.
So roaring.
So…?

The winner, clearly. A Bob Mackie design. Full of movement. Full of life. Stupidly expensive looking. Faboosh!

So I’m quite excited about the Great Gatsby.
It may have had shiteous reviews but whatevs, it looks pretty.
I’m the only person I know who quite liked the book. Mr F has been reading it for about three years and cannot finish it. “Nothing happens!!”
On a Luhrmann front…
He hated Romeo and Juliet.
I loved it.
He loved Moulin Rouge.
I hated it. (I know I might be alone on that one but it is just not good enough-but ha! It works omy own argument of it looking pretty. And at least Nicole Kidman dies it which has gotta be worth something. *spoiler alert* Nicole Kidman dies. Ha ha I crack myself up.)
Strictly Ballroom. Now that’s a movie!
I don’t think he saw it. It was pre us, before his life had been culturally enriched by my presence with things like Devil Wears Prada and tailoring.
Anyway….
I may be excited but that doesn’t mean I’m about to start giving the dolls 1920s bobs… Yet.
Instead let’s talk about the quite frankly, amazeballs soundtrack.
Much has been said about Beyoncé covering Winehouse.
The problem with the track is really the presence of Andre 3000. His noise gets right on my wires. It’s been a long time nice Hey Ya hasn’t it, Mr 3000?
B sounds fine.
But… Would look much better with an Amy makeover…

Run VT

Lovely.
Way more impressive, however, is my evil twin, Emeli Sandé’s cover of this amazing song….

That was last week.
This is this week….

Well almost.
The treehouse has had a major spring clean.
Apols for the radio silence.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder as they say so I know you will still be loving me and everything I’m gonna serve up this week.
Xxx

…and along with the basil and rosemary I bought in Italy this week, I’m feeling very green fingered.
A bit of colour blocking. A splash of (bang on trend) citrus coloured soucis-can’t think of the English.
It is what the garden at BOTD Towers is crying out for.
