Funny Face?

The movie Funny Face has been on my mind, so much so that I felt compelled to echo the spirit of Audrey Hepburn from the beatnik cafe scene.  She's such an iconic figure in terms of beauty and fashion, but what I always think about is that she broke the mold of the time. She was a former ballerina with a very boyish figure in a time when every woman was aspiring to the curves of Monroe.  Hepburn's beauty was not in chic, she was elfish and boyish, but her appeal was undeniable.

When I consider things like fashion trends, and standards of beauty I think of her and how her confidence and unique beauty shone through despite the critiques of her contemporaries and she became an icon for generations.  So I always think that though it may not be in 'chic', who knows who the next Hepburn will be. 

True Story:

Last night I worked a night shift hosting Movieola, so I needed coffee. 

I stood in front of the automated espresso machine at work and pushed the 'on' button.  

It asked me to push another button.  I did.  And another.  And another.  

Six buttons later, I'm begging the machine to please stop messing with me and just give me my espresso! It's so high-maintenance and demanding.  

I just want my espresso.

Please.

Pretty please?
