Winter is Coming: Fashion Statements Seen on Game of Thrones

At this point, I think it’s safe to say that I’m kind of obsessed with Game of Thrones. Aside from the betrayal, thirst for power and intrigue seen on the hit HBO series, the costumes, hair and makeup have also captured my full attention. While everyone wants to sit on the iron throne or marry someone who does, all of the kingdoms of Westeros each have their own distinct personality and style.

While the costumes are bright and ornate in the capitol of King’s Landing and the hair fully styled, darker simpler dresses are seen in the North complimented by furs and simple hair styles. When I watch the show, I immediately know what kingdom the scene takes place in based on how the characters are dressed and styled.

Sansa Game of Thrones

I think all Game of Thrones fans would agree that the finest fashion statement made on the show so far was Sansa Stark’s purple necklace. After all, it made her an unknowing accomplice to Olenna Tyrell in killing Joffrey on his wedding day. Talk about a statement necklace.

In case you haven’t noticed from my choice in photos, Sansa Stark is by far my favorite character. In spite of all she’s been through, her style always remains top notch. However, it must be a lot easier to look your best on mornings when you feel your worst when you have handmaidens helping you get ready. I’m also a huge fan of Margaery Tyrell’s scandalous style and schemes. But, it’s Sansa who I’m really rooting for. Though she tends to get screwed big time, I’m still hoping for a huge Sansa comeback. Until next season…

Oh Sookie! Get me on TV!

Vampire or not, Mondays will suck the life out of you. This week Snoop Dogg has become a true inspiration to aspiring socialites and aspiring actors everywhere. When this die-hard rapper, gangsta, and True Blood fanatic asked HBO if he could guest star on their hit vampire series, he was turned down. Instead of getting mad, Snoop got creative and made a hilarious rap video dedicated to the telepathic main character, Sookie Stackhouse played by Anna Paquin. With all of the effort Snoop has put into this video, my favorite being the backup dancers dressed as Sookie outside Merlotte’s, they should at least make him an extra.

For those aspiring to greatness, the surfacing of this video has numerous implications. I personally would love to be on Gossip Girl, Greek, or in the next Twilight Saga film: Breaking Dawn. Though I am also a die-hard True Blood fan, I am not sure if I can do a southern accent. The beauty of social media is that anyone now has the ability to become famous by simply uploading a video or starting a Twitter account. You don’t have to be on The Hills to be a reality star. You can even gain movie star status without ever stepping onto a movie set. So stop eating humble pie and go on a diet because shameless self-promotion is the fastest way to success. When it comes down to it, you are your best and most of the time your only advocate.
