"I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it." – Audrey Hepburn

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."

Audrey Hepburn: "As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others."

i love her sm :(

This Edwardian-style gown was created for the Ascot 🏇 scene in the original 1956 Broadway production of the Lerner and Loewe musical 𝑴𝒚 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒓 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚. 🎶 The scene was filled with beautiful gowns, all in black and white, in keeping with the famous “Black Ascot” of 1910, when King Edward VII died ⚰shortly before the event, making it inappropriate to wear color. Thus, those who attended wore all black, aside from accents of white from pearls and flowers.   The gown was designed by Cecil Beaton and executed by Helene Pons based on his sketches. Cecil's notes indicate the piece was most likely worn by Melisande Congdon.   When Truman Capote decided to throw his famous “Black and White Ball,” ⚫ ⚪ – he used the scene from 𝑴𝒚 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒓 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚 as its inspiration. Deborah Davis’ wonderful book 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒚 mentions that much of the gossip about town was about “who” everyone would wear. Amanda Carter Burden, daughter of Babe Paley, 🦢 was able to sidestep this conversation and not commit to any one designer when she chose a gown from the film 𝑴𝒚 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒓 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚.   But was her gown from the film adaptation of 𝑴𝒚 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒓 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚? Amanda was based in New York City, 🏙 and it would have been far easier for her to obtain one of the costumes from the Broadway show. In addition, no costume in the film accurately matches the one she wore to the ball.   In 2015, the dress from the Broadway production went up for sale, selling for $1280. It contains a lace dickey that the auction house noted has been added post-production. The dickey is clearly visible on Amanda Carter in the Black and White Ball photo. 📷 While I cannot confirm for certain that she is wearing the dress from the stage production rather than the film production, I am confident that she is.

My Fair Lady (Revisit 2024)

I’ve been watching reaction videos on YouTube this week. When I see Gen Z kids reacting to bands that I listened to back in the seventies, and they are emotional in the way they hear the music and the voices, it reminds me quite a bit of the way I feel every time I see a movie like “My Fair Lady”. It would be completely inappropriate for me to simply video myself in a theater while watching a…

Audrey Hepburn gets a masterclass in the weird world of mannered society in My Fair Lady, this week's Monday Classic Matinée.

Yesterday, January 14th, was the anniversary of british fashion and portrait photographer, diarist, painter, and interior designer Sir Cecil Beaton. He created the wonderful costumes Audrey Hepburn wore in My Fair Lady winning an Academy Award for it. #cecilbeaton #sircecilbeaton #myfairlady #audreyhepburn #oscarwinner #costumedesign #alejandromogolloart https://www.instagram.com/p/CncPb2hMxik/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

the correct way to interpret bartolo and marcellina i feel is that marcellina has just finally realized she's a lesbian with adhd at the ripe young age of 54 and bartolo is her kinda mopey drag-along who's somewhere between crowfeather warriorcats (Derogatory) and henry higgins myfairlady (Said with the curiosity of throwing a wet sock in a wind tunnel). she is blatantly using him for his money and he knows it and also cant really do anything about it. hes pacing around going WOE IS ME FOR MY MISTAKES IN LIFE MEAN I AM TRAPPED IN A LOVELESS MARRIAGE (no sympathy given.) meanwhile shes at golden corral on a lesbian date using her husbands DiscoverCard to buy everyone in the building another round of dipping random shit in the chocolate fountain. in this, i believe

Hi! I love your Rodolphus HC. Do you have any Lestrange Snr HC?

Thank you for the ask, anon, and sorry for the late reply! More than you'd think, actually, so much so I had to put them below the cut.

It's canon that Lestrange Snr was part of Tom Riddle's Slytherin gang, although we don't know if they were in the same year. I headcanon that they were, the two of them shared a dormitory. Rodolphus and Rabastan are clearly both devoted to Voldemort (the two of them spend 14 years in Azkaban for LV too, lest we forget, and even Bellatrix says it - we alone were faithful, we alone tried to find him), and I like to think that their father played a key role in this.

So. Roland Lestrange, heir to the English branch of the Lestrange family, whose grandfather was Minister for Magic, who lives in a huge Cornish castle and whose Vault in Gringotts is amongst the best guarded meets Tom Riddle, dirt-poor son of a nobody with a cockney accent, who comes from East London and is more than rough around the edges on his first night at Hogwarts. And he knows that he will be eaten alive in Slytherin. This is the 1930s-1940s and I admit that I'm not an expert on all-boys boarding schools for rich kids at the time but I somehow don't think it'd be the easiest ride for someone like young Tom.

But boy, is he wrong.

Because by the end of Tom Riddle's stay at Hogwarts that boy is just a pale memory. I am firmly convinced that Tom MyFairLady-ed himself and made himself into one of them, just better. And one, all of his classmates fall in line. If he cannot charm them, he manipulates them; if that fails, he threatens them and when he still doesn't get his way he resorts to outright violence. He rules them with both love/admiration and fear. Voldemort's a natural leader. I headcanon Roland to be something of a right-hand-man while in Hogwarts. (That title is then snatched away by Antonin Dolohov, who accompanies Tom in some of his continental travels, and later on by Bellatrix herself.)

What's this man like?

Not as pretty as Rodolphus (but then again, few men are <3), but easy on the eyes, and he has an elegant bearing, hard features, and lots of money. He's also Tom Riddle's friend and all the ladies want a chance to at least sit next to him.

Generally a cold man. Dutiful. Tom found him easy to rely upon, and obedient enough, but without a true spark (that both Rodolphus and Rabastan do have, in different ways).

He marries Margot something (that's a headcanon I still have to figure out), who was a first/second year when he was in seventh, as soon as she finishes Hogwarts. He's known this was the case for his whole life and when the time comes he does what's expected of him. They do end up with a surprisingly successful marriage, based on duty that becomes companionship that becomes a sort of comfortable love. She's truly, honestly heartbroken when he dies.

And he does die. Before (or shortly after) he turns fifty.

The culprit?

Lord Voldemort himself.

It is a huge headcanon of mine that Voldemort is directly responsible for the deaths of several of his former classmates, the only people who would remember Tom Marvolo Riddle before he was Lord Voldemort. He poisons them, curses them, inflicts a pandemic of Dragon Pox on the country to get rid of them. Roland Lestrange was ill for some time before he died, so was Druella Black. Orion Black dies suspiciously early after his son's disappearance - many would have taken it as suicide. Alphard Black dies around that time as well- he wasn't old at all. An accident, they said. (This is one of the most callous things he does, in my personal headcanons, because he knew these people as a young man and has no (0) mercy in disposing of them.) After they are gone, no one except for Dumbledore (and maybe Borgin and Slughorn) remember who Tom Riddle was before.

His children.

He does love his children, but you guys know me. You know how much I love dysfunctional families and family systems, and The Crown and Succession etc etc. I've spoken at length about the Blacks.

Rodolphus is very much the golden child. The eldest son, the heir, the perfect one, bright and more powerful, the strong one. Rodolphus only ever made one mistake - marrying Bellatrix. He chose her, pleaded with his father to have her, got his wish. And the thing is, Roland likes Bellatrix (especially after discovering that the Dark Lord likes Bellatrix), he can understand the appeal. But he dislikes that she cannot (or will not) give his son children, that he dies without there being Lestrange heirs.

Rabastan is younger, and born after a difficult birth, and I imagine him as a sickly child. In my headcanons, he's bisexual with a preference for men. Now, he never confesses this to his father but Roland can pretty much sense that there is something queer about him and dislikes it immensely. He loves his son very much, but he doesn't like him. He mislikes that he refuses to marry, the way he conducts himself, the complete lack of duty, especially since his brother has no children. (Rabastan feels this deeply, this lack of love, of physical affection, hurts him. He's a mama's boy. He's a bit of a Roman Roy.)

There's a portrait of him in what was once his study (the recurring gag here is that everyone in Rodolphus' life will always refer to it as Roland's study) and he is cranky. Portraits aren't precise reflections of who the wizard/witch was when they were alive and Roland's portrait's personality is cheerless at best.)
