Florence, Is That You?

I'm missing yet another Partie Monster this week, as it clashes with Eimear and I making our joint DJ debut (calm yourselves, it's just a 21st.) Pity really, 'cos this month's theme of Burton Monster is something worth getting excited about.

Presumably while researching costume ideas, my friend Dónal stumbled upon these great shots from the October issue of Harper's Bazaar. A fashion shoot inspired by Tim Burton's work is hardly an original idea, but it's pretty deftly executed, incorporating designs from Gucci, Jean Paul Gaultier and Ralph Lauren among others. Full collection of photographs and designer info here.

What Is The Use Of A Book, Without Pictures Or Conversations?

Sarah has kindly drawn my attention to a new batch of photographs from Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland'. These shots give a much better sense of the costumes and I love that each character is pictured with an animal.





Helena Bonham Carter's costume for The Red Queen is especially excellent. I still wish they'd done something with Anne Hathaway's eyebrows.

Eyebrows or none, this looks set to be one of the most anticipated movie releases of 2010.

Curiouser And Curiouser...

Pictures of some of the characters from Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' have surfaced online. As much as I love these shots, it's almost too obvious to have Burton at the helm of the live-action version of Lewis Carroll's classic novel, isn't it?
