A Silverplated Movie Night
Movies have always been an important escape for me. A form of entertainment, expression and most recently, inspiration. So I tend to take my movie nights very seriously. I believe that my lists of favorites and my recommendations say a lot about who I am. Loved ones who are invited (forced) to watch my favorite flicks with me are indoctrinated into a little personal club. A place that is weirdly vulnerable and that explains a lot about who I am and why I love what I love. Ultimately, the woman that I am today is because of a tiny starry-eyed girl who sat in front of the television watching Turner Classic Movies, idolizing Hollywood and the iconic starlets who danced across the silver screen. I am proud of who that imaginative girl has turned into. Still day dreaming and still obsessed with Old Hollywood, only now, I see these movies in a whole new light and I can finally host epic dinner parties and swanky cocktail soirées inspired by many of the tales and characters that I fell in love with decades ago.
