Thought about making a list of reasons why it's so worth getting up early, driving to Cleveland, and driving back in time to make it to the Salvation Army as the doors open… but I think these blue suede oxfords in my size (thank you very much) speak for themselves. Besides, a list would be rather lengthy and boring, I would think.
The movie was called Darling. The actress was Julie Christie. It was one of those movies that struck a chord deep within me. I can’t really explain why or how, but it affected me more than any film I’ve ever seen. I could really relate to Julie Christie’s character. She wanted so much from life, but never really knew what it was… and then I think she realized that everything she had wanted had passed her by. I have this hidden fear that someday that will happen to me. The emotions I felt after watching this film were so surprising. And I still can’t stop thinking about it. So, maybe it would stand to reason that I am now obsessed with the 1960’s Julie Christie.
I think she might be my new style icon. And now I’m on the hunt to see more of the films she was in during the ’60’s. Any suggestions, dear friends?
P.S., I had this post scheduled to run a week ago, and on Monday, I was surprised to see that Danielle Thompson had posted about Julie Christie and Darling as well! Such kindred spirits, I’d say!
