#melissa bonny aesthetic

[eliteseven]

Hello, just wanted to send a bit of praise your way for the band AU!! I adore it.

Maybe you’ve already answered this, but did you have any bands in mind as inspiration for the group’s sound?

I was listening to Bully this morning and can imagine Shadowheart singing with a similar sound in the AU.

Thank you so so much! I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it, it's been so fun to write!

I tried to be a little vague, but generally I'd imagine they're playing heavier music (alt/hard rock or metal) simply because 1. The Aesthetic (I wanted Shadowheart to be a very fitting stage name, I suppose) and 2. That's the only kind of band I know how to write about from personal experience 😅

I never heard of Bully before this ask! So cool, thanks for the introduction! ❤️ Could totally see Shadowheart sounding like that! I tend to think of Amy Lee, Melissa Bonny, Sharon den Andel, a lot of the other female faces of the 2000's harder scene for inspo for Shadowheart’s vocals. Taking that whole “voice of an angel" thing they have going and juxtaposing it against a heavier instrumental track.

However I purposefully didn't elaborate too much so it could still be up to your interpretation as a reader! I don't think there are any wrong answers! 💕

Hey! Weird new ask game, but if you could pick out dresses for the girls in tvd to wear for prom etc., what those be? Feel free to pass this along to other bloggers if you're interested in this!

omg I just saw Melissa do this and the unfair advantage rn because she has pinterest boards for this kind of thing, so she was READY. 

But okay, let’s do this, 

For miss Caroline, let’s go with something very spring, that’s her aesthetic and compatible color palette, I will not be told other wise, 

For Rebekah, I DESPISED her TVD!Prom dress, bruh. But she’d be super high-end and flashy, because she is That bitch and I stan forever,

I would’ve loved to have seen Bonnie in something red, like a crimson. I hate that both her miss mystic dress and her prom dress were black, like ya’ll gave her the most bland dresses, the amounts to which they didn’t deserve her, phew. 

And Elena, well, let’s see, I actually think the majority of her dresses were good fits for her. But let’s goooo with,

Staying at Taj Lake Palace Hotel, Udaipur – Octopussy’s Lair

Where? Taj Lake Palace Hotel

Exactly? Udaipur, India

When? March 2019

Why? As the first leg on my grand, luxury tour of Rajasthan, India, I was lucky enough to be invited to the world famous Taj Lake Palace Hotel for a two night stay. This hotel has been on my wish list for years, so I can’t tell you how excited I was.

Famed as the film set for the 1983 James Bond classic movie Octopussy, the palace has also hosted hundreds of dignitaries and celebrities over the years. From Jackie Kennedy to Hilary Clinton, Brad and Angelina to Queen Elizabeth II and practically every countries royal family to date, so you’ll be in good company.

The Lake Palace

Glimmering in the middle of serene Lake Pichola like a marble mothership, the world famous Lake Palace Hotel began its illustrious life as the ‘pleasure palace’ of one India’s most lavish kings, Maharaja Jagat Singh II, to host his sumptuous and decadent parties.

Above Bonnie wears fuchsia pink dress by Lovers and Friends at Revolve 

Built in 1746 it was one of the first palaces in the world to be built on water. Using specially advanced engineering skills by even todays standards let alone in the 1700s, it was a pioneering bastion of Indian architecture and is today a treasured heritage landmark.

Comprised of 83 intricately decorated suites and rooms all positioned around the vibrant central water garden courtyard, every view and corner of this palace is exquisitely designed. It truly is one of the most magical and spectacular hotels I’ve ever stayed in.

The Rooms

We were extremely lucky to be able to stay in the Udai Mahal Suite (pictured above), the Kings private bed chamber when the palace was originally build. The floor space in this room is extensive, you can fit a regular sized London flat into the bathroom alone!

With a huge entertaining space comprising of dining room, sitting room and cushioned window seats area, there’s a large open space in the middle for musicians and dancers who would have performed for Maharajas by candlelight.

Soft furnishings are made of sumptuous silk, walls are made with marble and surfaces are heavily decorated with intricate engraving, embossed jewels and hand carved lattice work. The windows in the room are coloured with stained glass imported from Murano in Italy, which back in the 1700s was quite the talking point.

Food and Drink

With a choice of three renowned restaurants, an excellent bar and great room service there are plenty of great dining options at the hotel. We dined at the Jharokha restaurant with outdoor seating in the water garden for breakfasts and all day dining. The view (pictured above) was dreamy.

The authentic Indian restaurant Neel Kamal, meaning blue lotus is the best Indian restaurant in Udaipur. It serves a fantastic array of Rajasthani and local specialities accompanied by traditional musicians.

Or for a special occasion head to the al fresco rooftop restaurant for candle lit romantic vibes and spectacular sunset views of the city. We were extremely lucky to be hosted for a special candlelit dinner in the water garden prepared especially for us.

The Pool

The picture perfect swimming pool at the Lake Palace has been voted the most beautiful pool in the world several times over and I can see exactly why. The turquoise pool area is cornered by hot tubs, adjacent to the gym and the Jiva Spa, which altogether offers the perfect wellness area.

The Jiva Spa

To really get into the vibe of lake living, the blissful Jiva Spa also offers massage experiences on a beautiful vintage boat complete with hot tub to totally immerse yourself in the experience.

Well I must say that was one of the most incredible hotels I have ever stayed at. Everything was perfect, from the spectacular marble terraces and vibrant colourful gardens, to the resplendent water features, fountains and swimming pool. It truly is a magnificent hotel.

The service was impeccable with the some of the best staff I’ve ever witnessed. I loved my room, the flute player at breakfast and the food, wow, actually some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had too.

I literally felt like this palace was my home and I never want to leave. It’s so aesthetically beautiful and the tranquil atmosphere lulls you in to a blissful and calm state of mind. I can’t recommend it enough.

Thanks so much to Taj Hotels and the Taj Lake Palace for letting me stay. It truly is one of my all time favourite hotels. Next post check out my ‘ultimate guide to travelling India in luxury’ plus the best instagram locations in Rajasthan and the Taj Mahal.

a lot of the skam fcs ( excl iman & josefine bc i lov them ) are uhm . questionable choices imo. like.. im always a lil apprehensive when i see 1 bc their character is either gonna b tolerable or super fuckin annoying. but to name ONE… i do Not see the appeal of henrik holm. like. not even a lil bit. i feel like he only gets used to satisfy the white gay aesthetic n when he does.. its cringy every time

charlie heaton. if someone could pls share what the appeal is w him i’d be forever grateful bc i s2g his addicted to cocaine looking face activates my flight or fight instinct. even his gifs from that show always give me a kinda creepy vibe n i just cant. like. u do u. but i cant stand him

can all of the glee cast just.. fuckin.. go back to obscurity or smth, pls. melissa is the most commonly used one now and i hate her problematic ass so much but even seeing naya, or dianna, or chris colfer or grant gustin just makes me shudder. glee wasn’t a show known for its incredible actors n actresses like they have notHING going for them can they be let go now

saying melissa made me remember chris wood so..time to mention him! the tvd cast ruined him before he even had a chance ( idk what their weird obsession w literal sociopath kai parker was but shipping him w bonnie bennet was gross and wrong on SO many levels and u should jot that down ) but on top of that he’s just got such a basic face ( he could so easily b replaced by jack falahee … and jack is a way better actor n has a way better personality ), and ?? every one who plays him plays him as the same player-douchebag-only-soft-with-their-girlfriend type. speaking of. they’re ALWAYS waiting for a melissa to join to jump on so. lmao. but yeah i hate him rip

La Times: Sundance: Racial divisions, political upheaval and a gay love story take the spotlight

By the time the Sundance Film Festival came to a close Saturday night, it was clear that there had been no 2017 equivalent of “The Birth of a Nation” at the festival this year — no cinematic sensation that swooped in from nowhere to dominate the prizes, score the biggest acquisition deal and promise the industry a badly needed diversity makeover. (Happily, this year’s Academy Award nominations have spared us a three-quel to #OscarsSoWhite.)

If anything, a certain amount of caution could be detected on the part of distributors, journalists and even filmmakers, as though everyone in attendance were trying to avoid the trap of self-importance in a year when real-world matters — from President Trump’s inauguration and the women’s march to reports of a cyber attack on the festival — provided more than their fair share of off-screen drama.

Which is not to suggest that the films unveiled over 10 days in Park City, Utah, were somehow disappointing, or not up to the challenge of speaking to our politically fraught moment. Far from it. There were, as usual, movies about fractious racial divisions, including “Mudbound,” Dee Rees’ symphonic, superbly acted drama about two Mississippi families — one white, one black — struggling to survive in the shadow of World War II.

Less widely seen, although it won the audience award in the festival’s Next sidebar (devoted to innovative, low-budget work), was Justin Chon’s “Gook,” a raucous, bittersweet comedy set during the Los Angeles riots in April 1992. Shot in black-and-white, the movie both explores and sneakily subverts the fractious relations between Korean and African Americans during that tumultuous chapter.

Even apart from the confrontationally titled likes of “Trumped: Inside the Greatest Political Upset of All Time,” many of the films on offer could scarcely help engaging directly with the election and its consequences, to a surprising and mostly heartening degree.

Few of us who filed into the first screening of “Beatriz at Dinner” — director Miguel Arteta and screenwriter Mike White’s elegant, squirm-inducing dark comedy about a Mexican-born masseuse (Salma Hayek) clashing with an obscenely wealthy real-estate mogul (John Lithgow) — expected to find ourselves face-to-face with the first cinematic allegory of the Trump era. What seems at first like a too-easy skewering of racial and class divisions soon veers into richly unsettling dramatic territory, anchored by perhaps the finest, most controlled performance of Hayek’s career.

If “Beatriz at Dinner” felt so eerily timely that it might well have gone into production on Nov. 9, a number of documentaries proved no less accommodating of extremely recent headlines. “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power,” a stirring follow-up to “An Inconvenient Truth” (2006) from directors Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk, follows Al Gore on his latest rousing crusade against climate change, then builds to a forlorn postelection shot of the former vice president vanishing into an elevator in Trump Tower.

“Nobody Speak: Trials of a Free Press,” Brian Knappenberger’s account of the legal battle between Gawker and Hulk Hogan, and how the interference of billionaires like Peter Thiel might jeopardize the 1st Amendment going forward, received its first public screening on Tuesday, which gave the filmmakers just enough time to squeeze in footage from Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration. 

It was hard to watch Bryan Fogel’s entertaining Russian-doping Olympics exposé, “Icarus” — which drew the meaningfully titled “Orwell Award” from the U.S. documentary jury — without thinking about Vladimir Putin’s other alleged behind-the-scenes manipulations on a different international stage. Similarly, it was difficult to see Jonathan Olshefski’s deeply moving, years-in-the-making documentary “Quest,” about the everyday travails of a black family living in north Philadelphia, and not share his subjects’ indignation when they hear news of Trump’s birther conspiracy — a reminder of just how significant and symbolic a victory the Obama presidency remains for so many minorities in this country.

Meanwhile, over in the U.S. dramatic competition, the grand jury prize went to a violent dark comedy whose title, “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore,” seemed to capture the political mood. But this Netflix original production, skillfully written and directed by Macon Blair, wasn’t especially political — or maybe it was, given that it focuses on a woman (the terrific Melanie Lynskey) who slowly but surely seizes control of her life, reminding the people around her that every mean, mindless action has a consequence.

Blair’s movie was scarcely the only Sundance title about a woman, or group of women, rebelling against a repressive order. The highlight of the dramatic competition, for me, was “Novitiate,” a revealing portrait of life among aspiring nuns in a 1960s convent, which earned filmmaker Maggie Betts a breakthrough director prize from the jury. Splendidly acted by an almost all-female ensemble, the film features particularly standout performances by Margaret Qualley as a sensitive young postulant, and by Melissa Leo as the convent’s not-unsympathetic Gorgon of a Reverend Mother.

Another dramatic competition entry bolstered by an actress’ superb lead turn was “Roxanne Roxanne,” Michael Larnell’s rickety but heartfelt film about the straight-out-of-Queens hip-hop legend Roxanne Shanté (Chanté Adams, who won the jury’s breakthrough performance prize). “Roxanne Roxanne” would make a fine double bill with another competition title, “Patti Cake$,” Geremy Jasper’s exultant, energetic fiction about a young New Jersey rapper (the sensational Danielle Macdonald), which became one of the festival’s big hits and was acquired by Fox Searchlight Pictures for $10.5 million.

The theme of female empowerment extended to the World Cinema dramatic competition, where one of the standouts was Nana Ekvtimishvili and Simon Gross’ “My Happy Family,” a beautifully crafted drama about a middle-aged Georgian woman (Ia Shugliashvili, in a remarkable big-screen debut) who makes the simple, radical decision to find her own apartment after spending years under the same roof with her husband, children and parents.

Set to screen next in February at the Berlin Film Festival, “My Happy Family” was a reminder that not every excellent film emerges from a festival with an award under its belt. Many of them, like Michael Showalter’s terrific cross-cultural, cross-generational dramedy “The Big Sick,” starring and co-written by Kumail Nanjiani (“Silicon Valley”), are not even awards-eligible at Sundance, where the competitions consist of mostly first- and second-time filmmakers. Nevertheless, “The Big Sick” got the prize it wanted: a $12-million acquisition by Amazon Studios, in one of the festival’s richest deals.

Also ineligible for Sundance awards — though its distributor, Sony Pictures Classics, is surely hoping for prizes later in the year — was “Call Me by Your Name,” Luca Guadagnino’s gay love story about the slowly growing attraction between a precocious 17-year-old (Timothée Chalamet) and his family’s academic houseguest (Armie Hammer). This was the best movie I saw at Sundance 2017, for its ravishing filmmaking as well as its piercing wisdom about the evanescence of first love. Its sun-drenched northern Italian setting couldn’t have been farther away from Park City, but “Call Me by Your Name” nonetheless captured the enduring spirit of Sundance: aesthetically bold, emotionally complex and, in ways that don’t immediately announce themselves, political to the bone.
