Coco before Chanel -> Tono before Leechie ? ;p





This movie is in french, with english n chinese subtitles...abt the young Coco Chanel's life...it's not a particularly sad movie...but i guess leechie was in an emo mood...so i started crying from the start of the movie...till the end of the movie...perhaps tt's part of the reason y i tend to watch sad movies alone...dont really fancy frenz seeing a leechie with tears flowing down my cheeks n with my makeup smudged...but my leechie mum thinks tt it's quite loser behavior to watch movies alone...-.-"

Btw, saw this pretty taiwanese starlet on tv yest who can cry in 3 mins...i guess leechie can do better...think leechie need less than 3 mins to turn on her taps of tears...free-flow some more...no less -.-"

Leechie likes this movie...v.different from som crappy commercial ones...leechie was a literature student...although leechie wasn't a particularly good literature student, she can still appreciate arty movies n literature...so prefers movies which are more different from the usual commercial ones...

"This is the story of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, who begins her life as a headstrong orphan, and through an extraordinary journey becomes the legendary couturier who embodied the modern woman and became a timeless symbol of success, freedom and style."

Coco Chanel is leechie idol...with her strong character, breaking the conventions in her time...n created her own destiny in life and built her own hugely-successful fashion empire which still bears her name today! even after she had long passed on...Coco Chanel is an ICON whose legacy lives on n on! her rags to riches story serves as a great motivation to many!

Tell me...who doesnt know or hasn't heard abt the brand Chanel?it's almost every young gal's dream to own a Chanel handbag som day. Her iconic designs helped define women's fashion...the elegance of her classic designs is so alluring...the simplicity and class of Chanel style is timeless and hard to match...not only is Chanel known for her little black dress and her No. 5 fragrance, but also her classic and timeless tweed jacket and skirt suits, 2.55 quilted handbags, trademark two-tone pumps or ballet flats, pearl jewelry and of course her double C logo.

Lemme confess...leechie simply loves Chanel stuff...but they r so exp! leechie still has yet to own a Chanel handbag...but leechie has a Chanel makeup pouch given to me by the Chanel makeup counter ladies...leechie started buying Chanel cosmetics n skincare when she was a teenager...they have limited edition cosmetics almost every season...collectors' items...the strange thing is tt leechie used to like to wear their makeup when i was only a teenager...those dark brownish red lipsticks...they made a leechie look much more mature than she actually was...my first Chanel fragrance was Allure, which is still one of leechie fav fragrances even today...the price of Chanel cosmetics and skincare has appreciated significantly over the years...but cant really invest in those stuff with expiry dates ya...although leechie still has some Chanel cosmetics and skincare, leechie has moved onto mainly japanese cosmetics n skincare brands today...these r not exactly tt cheap...but more suitable for a leechie n more fun as well ^.^

Despite her numerous lovers, Coco Chanel did not marry anyone...she knows tt she will never be anyone's wife...however, even in our modern society...getting married is somhow one of the social expectations here...n walking down the aisle with one's true love one fine day is what many singles hope for...likewise, leechie has also thought abt who would be THE ONE who would explore tt possibility with leechie...who would take care of a leechie for the rest of her leechie life...

When leechie went into the cinema late juz nw, the gentleman sitting next to me asked if i'm alone n if i could exchange seats with his wife for them to sit together...of course, a leechie obliged gladly...hopefully, someone will do the same for a leechie one fine day...btw, leechie happened to see an odd couple (by the usual social convention) when i left the cinema...i'm pretty sure tt my leechie mum would have pointed them out to me n said somthg abt them had she been with me juz nw -.-"

Leechie wanna leave behind a legacy, something that people will still remember and thank me for, even when i'm no longer around anymore...even after i'm long gone!!!


Coco before Chanel...her legacy lives on n on...o.O
