A Few of my Favourite Things: Selma Blair

Selma Blair

Style icon Saturday brings to the spotlight Selma Blair. I have always liked her. Her super dark hair and dramatic features. She dresses simple but stylish and she can pull off a lot of different looks. She takes a few risks too (bleached blonde hair, half shaved head-i like that) and there's something about her that I just really like. The movies she's been in-not so much (hell boy, legally blonde, and a whole bunch no one has ever heard of). I personally think she's under rated because I think that she is a good actress...like the Sweetest Thing she was good in that....or some movie that was on TV one day when I was in a hotel and I really loved her wardrobe in it but still to this day have not figured out what movie it was (see what I mean!?)

Anyway, I wanted to display how awesome I think she is and hope to see her in better movies...I think she could be in some really great indie-type arty films. Like the type of films Kristin Dunst has been in....Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind, Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, Jumanji (just kidding....she's been in some REALLY bad movies too, and I don't think she's that good of an actress). Maybe Selma just needs to team up with Sophia Coppola and get in a great role. Maybe they are already planning it...

I don't know, maybe I just need to do some more research. She does have a wide range of roles listed on Imdb. I suppose I need to watch a few more until I can decide on her acting and the movies she's in. I'm going to check out StoryTelling since I read a review that this was her best movie, and its the same director that did Welcome to the Dollhouse which is exactly the type of movie I was thinking she's be good in. That movie is F-ed up, but I think that's what I liked about it. Its refreshing to see super strange movies, and she seems like she would suit something like that, she's a really interesting pretty and stands out with her serious expressions that some think are "boring" but I think just haven't been utilized correctly. Anyway, a review on Story Telling is to come....for now soak in these lovely looks of Selma's:
