Day 29 - Saturday

The movie that was watched for today I have both positive and negative views about. I suppose that can happen to anyone. The movie was "Winter's Bone". It is obviously in a small town where everyone is related and or knows each other. That is fine, I had no issues with that. More often than not they are great environments when you need a hand which the movie did portray. Where I had the issue was it seemed a bit stereotypical in the way the people were versus how they were most likely.

That said however. I really did like it. It was a little slow in parts but I liked the overall story and concept of the film. There was no "Hollywood flash" very plain in setting, natural. I was very impressed with that. I felt it showed how much one's family can mean to them and the things family can, will, and should do for each other.


Ree is only 17. She however is raising her 12 and 6 year old siblings. Her mother is of no help as she is ill. Her father is of even less help being out on bond for making drugs. Though only 17 Ree is well rounded and can survive just about anything thrown her way.

Ree is visited by the local sheriff who informs her that her father put their home up for his bond. Should her father who not a soul has seen, not show up for court, they will take the only thing they have left. Ree must find her father. She begins her journey to find him among the rest of the things she has to get done. She needs to teach the children how to fend for themselves should they need to. They are in a very poor state of affairs.

While teaching the children how to hunt, cook, skin, clean and how to survive she holds herself together trying to keep her family together. If she can just find her father. People try to steer her away from finding him, even abandon hope of finding him. He is even spoken of in the past tense by some. Ree figures if he does not show for court he is dead somewhere.

Will the father show up for court? Will Ree find her father? What will become of the home and the family? Ree will find a way if she can to protect her family even if it means risking her own safety.

In IMVU I decided that the Chayna dresses were beautiful, yet lacking something. What was that something? Perhaps a touch of color. I was working with a few textures and had a beautiful crimson one I had dropped into that set as I pondered what to do for a design. It was shifted on the piece that the white was amazing behind it. So I figured I would try it and see if I liked it. Oh it was fantastic. It made me say out loud, "Oooo, I know a few 'Vamps' that would love that color on black. So the new look of Chayna became this:

  1. I did not find the movie as stereotypical as aylen may feel. I felt it was more realistic. that said, I felt it was a deeply different and disturbing movie then almost anything I have watched. Almost as if it may have been based on a true story. as far as the clothing goes, wonderful work baby, some of it even seems to be a bit of a mexican feel. I love you, and keep up the good work, baby :)
