julie in boots


okay, i don't really have a clever way in to this post. but hey, how can you not dig on of my favorite 60's swinging chicks, miss julie christie, posing in a pair of black patent leather boots! i love this shot. i love the rose-colored background, i love the curly-ponytail hairdo... i love her 'now' low-hanging pendant, and i love the playful look on her face. she's a serious actress who knows what she wants, namely a swinging time with some hot boots and cool locks! and a little frosty pink lip gloss never hurt anyone! miss julie is at the top of my list! she's one of those chicks i thought was a dog when i was growing up... but after my mind was expanded and my tastes evolved, i came to realize the timeless quality of miss christie's looks. personally, i've never been able to pull off the frosted muted lipstick thing, but miss julie practically wrote the book. she kills as mrs. miller in altman's 'mccabe and mrs. miller.' she was devastating and sad in roeg's 'don't look now,' and she was every bit the part as gertrude in branagh's 'hamlet.' but she snagged the oscar for best actress in the heartbreaking 1965 john schlesinger film 'darling.' if you've never seen 'darling,' i suggest you set aside a rainy evening around 6 pm to roll it and get into it. she kills.
