I've been reading 'Gone with the Wind' for the past two days. Do you remember the love story that follows a ravishing Southern beauty who pines away for a married man, and of a roguish young ebony-haired man who is determined to capture her heart and mind ? Or perhaps the remarkable 4 hour long epic movie that has captivated the hearts of many? I remember watching it as a child and being disappointed that there were no other shows on and that there were no commercials in between the uber-long movie and hence, I had fallen asleep. But now, 12years later (I think), I am itching to watch the epic movie for I want to see the luminous Vivien Leigh (as Scarlett) and handsome Clark Gable (as Rhett) kiss and for Gable to say in his manly voice the very (in)famous line, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." And I want to know whether I'll sob until my heart can be no longer mended when they separate at the final end. Do I sound strange? My mother says she's seen it 15 times and everytime, she cries as though there is no tommorow. I have never spilt a tear over a movie let alone a book. Don't I sound very cold and awful? But it's true, I never have and I do want to experience it for it sounds romantic to do so! ^.~ HAHAHAHA!! What a shallow, idiotic fool I am. (o'.'o) Regardless, my days are long and I do truly wish to watch this movie.

Well, it's 1:42am in the morning. Having tossed and turned, I think I'm having insomnia. I had decided to drink milk, thinking that it would make me more sleepy - as all movies and books tell me but what they never tell you is whether you should drink hot or cold milk. Well I've just drank cold milk which has made me more awake than ever. Shoots, should of drank warm milk instead. Am I stupid or what? Okay...I prefer that you don't answer that question, come to think of it. lol. xD And with that, I am now blogging away after finishing reading page 118 out of the 1011 pages that make up the book 'Gone with the Wind.' Not being able to withstand my curiosity for the ending, I had decided to read up on Wiki the spoiler to the story. So in the end, the plenty of refusals I had made to prevent mum from raving on about the storyline was a waste...lol! xD Um...I like to be spoiled? (Omgosh, that was such a horrible, and utterly lame joke @_@)...

Well I seem to be going around in circles with my words (like I usually do)...(o'.'o)?? As I had previously mentioned, I really want to the watch this Hollywood classic for the story as well as to see the difference between the book and the movie. And of course, to see the impressive cinematic techniques amongst the wonderful scenery and the phenomenal (somewhat historically incorrect at times) costumes that will surely take my breath away and make my heart skip just as it had done when I discovered these stunningly beautiful photos on google images. And I must warn you, these photos may lag your internet speed but it's worth the wait and look. ^^

[^] This photo is printed on the cover of my novel. It's such a wonderful backdrop don't you think? It reminds me of the house in 'The Great Gatsby.'

[^v] Oh! This is the part where I am upto - the day of the barbeque. I'm pretty sure this is the dress that she wears. The green afternoon dress in which she wears to confess to another woman's fiance about her love to him.

[^] I've always wanted a huge library in my own house and hopefully one day I will. Do you remember the library in the Disney animation 'Beauty and the Beast'? Oh, wouldn't that be lovely. But of course I won't be able to afford that dream. Perhaps the one above in the photo? Oh love.

Did you know that Vivien Leigh's boobs are very small supposedly? I read somewhere that the directors did not notice this during the screening nor did they think about this matter until they realised that the character Scarlett should have an air of seductiveness to her and hence, the breasts that should practically pop out. As a result, they had to push Vivien's breasts in and up as much as possible with a lot of adheisve tape til the point where Vivien couldn't nearly breathe and of course, til they got the right size and shape of a "heaving cleavage."

Oh! I've found the article. Here it is: click. It's so interesting to read.

[^] Such a magnificient white house with superb interior designs and fittings.

[^v] All my friends know this - if I could, I would make every man wear a suit everyday. Such broad shoulders and such an immaculate, admirable look. Oh! *faints in delight* ^.~

[^v] Aren't these two photos (above and below) just haunting? Why, by the looks of these two , I could believe that it was a frightening, scary movie. The breadth and scope of this movie amazes me so and I've still yet to watch it!! LOL. I must find the dvd.

[^v] The most famous dress out of the movie and I must agree. Isn't Vivien stunning? The epitome of attractiveness, splendor, elegance and glamour.

[^] I absolutely love what Clark Gable is wearing here. *slaps forehead and smiles ever so pervertedly* ^.~ He's so handsome here!!!

[^] So picturesque, no? Looking at this, did you know that there were 5500 costumes made just for this film??

[^v] These two pictures are one of my favourites. They're absolutely gorgeous.

And with that, I'm going to dream about floating and twirling in an array of dazzling puffy dresses whilst wishing I had a 17-19 inch waist like that of Vivien Leigh.

Lots of love, Cotton Candy.
