Cats and Audrey Hepburn


Cats. I guess you could say that they are my favorite pet. And I wish I could have one like this, an orange tabby who wakes me up in the morning. This picture is from the movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's. I wanted to see it because I am fan of Audrey Hepburn and have seen some of her movies.
But funny enough, in the movie she doesn't name her pet cat, she just calls it cat. Here is a quote from the movie. "He's alright! Aren't you, cat! Poor slob without a name! The way I see it I haven't got the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other."



 Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, a ditzy, party girl who lives alone with her cat in a small apartment. For me, it wasn't my favorite movie with Audrey Hepburn, but most know it to be the one that is a classic. With her little black dress, and pretty and glamorous outfits in the film, some of the looks from the 1961 movie are still being reproduced today. Givenchy, who is a fashion designer was the one who was behind the scenes with all the fashion ideas, and got noticed for it. But Audrey Hepburn also got noticed, and is a fashion icon. Like cats, she's simple, yet pretty. And her attitude towards life and her career is really something, if you happen to look through her quotes. I actually happened to write some in my quote book. Here is one of them that I like. 

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.

So Happy

If you had the day free, with out work, school, or any other obligations to take care of, what would you do?
This statement reminds me of the movie Roman Holiday, with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck (a very good movie). If you are unfamiliar with this film, it's about a princess who breaks free of her all of regular obligations and responsibilities for a day. She is "so happy", as she keeps saying... and well you just have to see the rest.


Personally, thinking about this question makes my head feel very light, and stress free. Almost like the summer vacation when I was a young girl. But for me, if I had a whole day free, I feel like I would write in my story while listening to music( classical, contemporary,ect..), go for a long run, sing songs and reach notes that I wouldn't reach when others are around, and go the Livermore Library (the nicest library around), and look at and read books. This may sound pretty boring to a lot of people, but I feel like this is some of the things I would do, and which some of them I'll probably do over Christmas Break, which I am very, very much looking forward to. Let's just say I'll be so happy when this semester is over. For after this smester, many things will be on their way, Christmas, family coming over, a new year, as well as new resolutions, and predictions, and happiness and joy all around. For this is the season to be truly happy.
