This week’s Thoughtful Third Thursday Challenge is to wear
an outfit inspired by our favorite literary villain. At first I thought Cruella De Vil because,
let’s be honest, that woman is fly as hell. I basically want to be her when I grow up, minus the
puppy murdering but with the rage-y
hair. But, then I remembered President
Snow, from The Hunger Games.
Y’all, I love me some President Snow. I mean, I hate him, but he really is my
favorite villain because he scares the crap out of me. And I love it! I’m like the hyenas in The Lion King when
they like to whisper “Mufasa” to each other just for the frisson of fear that
runs up their spines.
That’s the feeling I get when I think or read about
President Snow! A frisson of fear… and
the feeling that I’m going to vomit when I imagine the smell of blood and
roses. I can’t even write this post
without wrinkling up my nose and feeling a bit sick. Now that
is a good villain!
And that villain is the inspiration behind today’s look:
In the books, Collins doesn’t talk a lot about what
President Snow wears, aside from the rose in his lapel, so I borrowed from the
new Mockingjay trailer and dressed all in white.
With a rose in on my lapel:
As always, I want to thank Maricel at My Closet Catalogue
and Selah at A Bibliophile’s Style for the T3 Link Party and this fun
challenge!
Happy (Thoughtful Third) Thursday, All!
Gracey
