Romeo + Juliet (1996 - Baz Luhrmann) is my favorite movie of all time. This is probably because I am 1. weirdly in love with Shakespeare and 2. weirdly in love with Leonardo DiCaprio. - They're both addictions.

The movie is a modernized (well, as "modern" as you can be for 1996) version of the original play by Shakespeare. The best part, for me anyway, is they kept the original vernacular- yup, all the thees, sirs and madams possible!

The second best part of the movie is definitely the music. Please, listen to the soundtrack, for me. The only complaint I have is the actual soundtrack does not include a cover of "When Doves Cry" by Quindon Tarver, which, in my opionion, is better than the original. And, the soundtrack does not include the song from the very beginning when Benvolio & "his men" are driving in his car and it pauses and goes "THE BOYS, THE BOYS." This sucks because that is one of the parts of the movie that I look foward to everytime I watch the movie.

Highlights:
Kissing you - Des'ree
Angel - Gavin Friday
Young Hearts Run Free - Kym Mazelle
Everybody's Free (To Feel Good) - Quindon Tarver
You and Me Song - The Wannadies

Lastly, if anyone is a "Lost" fan, Michael (Harold Perrineau, Jr.) plays Mercutio and is in drag for a good part of his time on screen.

I was really impressed by the Elie Saab collection. I don't know what else to say except it was fantastic:

I love the bat wing shoulders & the amazing beading on the chest. Also the awesome half gloves

I totally just realized there was a peace sign on her stomach! haha, I love it. But initially, I loved the neckline

this is probably one of my favorites of the show

cut-outs are perfect

I love the sleeves, although it sort of makes her arms look like they are pinned to her sides

I wish I had a close up of this fabric

I am not really a fan of the puffy jacket, but I do love the superman/WWE belt and the way the dress seems to flow in and out of it

I have nothing exceptionally good, or bad, to say about the Valentino collection. I loved the furs, but I don't think they are very practical in today's (I hate saying it) poor economy, but they were balanced out with pretty simple dresses and pant/jumpsuits.

I didn't actually like this coat, but I loved how it made the model look like cookie monster

I'm not one of those people who plans out their entire wedding, but I do love looking at wedding dresses, and Oscar makes the best

perfect for hiding the baby at a shotgun wedding!

love this!

thank you nymag.com

I'm surprised it took me so long to do a Balmain show, but I wasn't disappointed. However, it got a little repetitive, like "This look is really really amazing, but it came down the runway 2 minutes ago."

it will take a very brave, but stylish woman to pull this off
