It seems that recently I've been able to occupy my time with only one thing:
Reading the gorgeous, and controversial Penguin Classic 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. It's pretty much a twisted book that unveils the "daring story of obsessive love and transgression by Mr Humbert Humbert's (or H.H. for short) lust towards his pubescent step-daughter ".
Weird? I know. Disgusting, you say? Well, not quite. Although the story itself is highly controversial, the lyrical writings by Nabokov (Who I seem to often refer to as 'Mr. Russia'), are so moving that I can't help but love the novels construction!! God, I sound like my high school Lit teacher!!
Anyway, Just cause I love it!-Here's an exert from the first vignette of Parte` One:

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins.

My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta:

the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap,

at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.
She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning,

standing four feet ten in one sock.

She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school.

She was Dolores on the dotted line.

But in my arms she was always Lolita.

-Vladimir Nabokov.

Hauntingly creepy isn't it...??
I've heard that the movie based on 'Lolita' is quite a decent watch, so I'm hoping I can get my hands on it soon!... well either the 1962 original version or the re-make that emerged in 1997. From what I've Googled (TGFTGOG -thank God for the gift of google!) the 1997 movie is the way to go. The music scores by Ennio Morricone, which I just happened to get a hold of are both pensive yet captivating so even though I haven't actually seen this movie, it's taking high priority on my 'Must Watch' list.

On a more 'material' level, 'Lolita' played by Dominique Swain looks amazing in most of the screen shots; her outfits reflecting the subtle sweetness and sexuality that was an emerging society. All to often they are unusual and a bit chaotic (pattern-wise) and I really thing this captures the turbulence of the H.H.'s feelings towards 'Lolita', so I give great props to the movies stylist!!!

Dominique really does look amazing in all these screen shots... I've decided I really want to make some outfits similar to the ones above because they're Gorgeous!!!

Best get cracking.... ishax
