Fashion Friday (2-Hunger Games)

Fashion Friday is creating a fashion wardrobe and picking out clothes that I would think a character would wear based on the type of personality Using pictures from different magazine, such as Vogue or Elle, or from model shows, I will usually pick out one or two types of outfits, and even accessories or shoes. I hope everyone enjoys it and if you have any suggestion or fashion websites, please feel free to tell me! Also, I am planning to create a button very soon (or if you're great at button making, please help me :)).

First off, I wanted to say sorry for the lack of posts this week. I've been either watching the Olympics or doing homework, but I'm reading a lot of books currently. This week, I decided to do the The Hunger Games series. Instead of creating a wardrobe for their time in the Games, which would probably be athletic skin-tight clothes, I decided to create clothes they would wear casually. I couldn't find a dress similar to the mockingjay dress she was wearing, so please give your suggestions!

For Katniss, I wanted to choose a tomboy style, but with an air of chick and rebellious. I think the clothes on the left with the opened up plaid collared shirt and the faded jeans will fit perfectly for Katniss. It is not extravagant or like a princess style, but it portrays a sexiness within her. Also, the clothes have an aura of rebellion, with the open shirt and cut up jeans, as if she isn't trying to be too formal or casual. I also think that the clothes on the left, with the vest and the belt, portray a boyish style, with an underlying classy look.

Peeta is the nice and "church" boy and to me carries a sense of innocence. I think the casual-formal wear is not too formal to create Peeta into an arrogant character who thinks he's superior of everything else, but a nice clothes that are business casual. The collared shirt, the clean blue jeans, and the cardigan/sweater has the amiable boy look., conforming into society with its clean looks, but isn't too formal as it portrays his childlike innocence.

Ah. Gale, the rebellious and "sexy" guy. I think of Gale as the motorcycle guy, lol. Maybe he's put into a big contrast against Peeta, the guy who keeps his head down and tries to conform into society, but to me Gale seems the one to take risks. I thought the leather jacket and the baggy jeans create the sexy, but dangerous looking guy. Also, with his shirt and jacket open, it portrays Gale's rebellious nature, as if he doesn't care what the Capitol says about his dress code. 

That's it for today's Fashion Friday. Comment and tell me what you think of it, whether you think it's on the spot or way off and want to rant :). Also, PLEASE GIVE SUGGESTIONS for Movie Poster Monday and Fashion Friday! Thanks and I hope you enjoyed it!

Matching Actors to Characters

This is a new meme, created by me (lol that sounds egoistic)! I know there are a lot of ardent readers, including myself, who always tries to create a mental image inside their heads according to the descriptions of the characters. Like, if they mention some brooding handsome guy, you always try to pick one of your favorite actors to help you coast along the story. So, in order to help you, each week (usually on weekends, when I actually have time), I’ll pick a character (please help me by suggesting characters) and look around for an actor/actress that best matches them. (By the way, if there already is a meme like this, please let me know, so I can revert to that. Thanks!)

My first character will be….Gale (from the Hunger Games Trilogy, The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, which are both MUST-reads). I personally was in Team Gale, but after reading Catching Fire, I became a traitor and joined Teem Peeta.

So the actor Gale will be matched with is … Gaspard Ulliel!

My friend introduced me to Gaspard Ulliel as the perfect match to Edward (alas, but they chose Robert Pattison). But as I read about Gale in The Hunger Games, I thought Gaspard was the best match for Gale. Gaspard Ulliel is a French actor and is most famous for playing Hannibal Rising in 2007. His dark brown hair cascading down his forehead creates this careless handsome boy whom all the girls would fall for in school (I know I would). Also, Ulliel does not have a boyish face but not too much like an old man, making it perfect for the age range. I have not watched Hannibal Rising, but reading about the role Ulliel played as a killer, I think that Ulliel could portray the rebellious and hunting nature of Gale.

Tell me your other actor suggestions! Can’t wait till the final Hunger Games series gets released in August 24!
