Game of Thrones Characters... in '80s & '90s Clothing

I stumbled upon this EW article today and my Sunday morning got 10 times better. The images are the work of Tokyo-based, French artist Mike Wrobel. These are brilliant and one of the most well-thought and well-made fanarts. Check his tumblr page for images inspired by other famous pop culture icons.

HOUSE STARK

Jon Snow is a Nirvana fan, naturally. Longclaw was replaced by a bat emblazoned with the word STARK, the handle is wrapped in white cloth bandage-type thingy that also resembles the white handle of Longclaw.

And Sansa Stark loves her boybands.

Arya, the pre-Kings Landing, innocent Arya.

House Lannister

Lord Tywin, a tad less cunning-looking than I'd hoped.

Cersei Lannister. Looks a lot like real life Lena Headey? Well of course, because she plays the Queen, but I mean like, her personal style, if that makes sense?

Jaime Lannister, Don Johnson's (Detective Crockett) Miami Vice doppelgänger.

 Tyrion in '80s colour-clashing Lannister red and gold shirt.

The filthiest scum of the Westeros that is King Joffrey. I hoped he accidentally pulled the trigger and blow his family jewels (pun intended) LOL

Mother of Dragon, Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion. Try to say it 10 times, fast.

 The Dothraki Khal is a NIN fan? Abso-f**king-lutely!

Theon Greyjoy, pre Ramsay Bolton.

Margaery Tyrell, the Coachella Queen

Brienne of Tarth, kickin' it like no other.

This is precious, Bronn in Adidas tracksuit! Very aptly made, this one!

(Some of) My Favourite Paintings

OK, that didn't take me long for second post haha... I don't know anything about arts or paintings and I can't draw or paint to save my life, but I love looking at beautiful paintings. This is a recycled post of one of my Facebook notes in 2009, with few additions and omissions.

The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh, the awesomest of the awesomest of all. I can stare at this painting for hours and hours... OK, maybe fifteen minutes lol.

Klimt's Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I is one of the most stunning paintings in the history of mankind. The details, the yellow burst of colors, the freaky eyes all over her skirt, her expression, her statement jewelries even before ASOS and Topshop Premiums lol! Everything about this painting just screams of masterpiece.

This is Dutch Proverbs by Pieter Brueghel the Elder. I like the busi-ness pictured in the painting.

My other fav, Le Bar aux Folies-Bergère by Edouard Manet. I love her small waist, the crowd behind her, and how she looked kind of lonely even though she's surrounded by a crowd.

One of my all-time fav, Liberty Leading the People by Eugene Delacroix. Coldplay uses it for their cover art of Viva la Vida. She's topless but there's nothing vulgar about it, methinks. Love!

Next, Moulin de la Galette by Renoir. I have a thing for Renoir paintings. They're sublime.

Another one by John Everett Millais, Spring (Apple Blossoms). This is like the old take of a girls' day out. Talking about cute boys while combing and braiding each others' hair... But the reaper scares the hell out of me!

The Regatta Seen from Ca Foscari by Canaletto. The view is breathtaking, almost like a photograph.

Mäda Primavesi by Gustav Klimt. This painting reminds me of Mia Wasikowska's character in Stoker, in Technicolor. Lol.

Also by Millais, Princes in the Tower. I love the expressions of the two princes. Especially the older (I assume) one. The younger one is so beautiful!

I always wonder what were the artists thinking when they created these masterpieces? Were their brain so different than the rest of us? I can't, for the life of me, even draw an apple right, but these people... I'm grateful.

I Made a Blog!

Greetings, good people on Internetville!

My name is Karina and this is my blog! LOL. I still can't believe I finally convinced myself to do this. Honestly, I'm too lazy to even get out of the bed in the morning, let alone maintain a blog, but let's just give it a try shall we?

This blog will be about mish and mash of things I find interesting. Shopping, beauty, fashion, food and drinks, celebrity gossip, travel and a plethora of other things. Right now I don't have a clue what to post next, OK maybe that's not a good thing to say on a first post, but I'll come up with something. I'll just wing it and see what happens :)
