remember when...

Remember when Moschino Cheap & Chic got all Olive Oyl obsessed and made this adorable perfume?



And dressed Mariacarla as Olive Oyl herself?


(if you're fuzzy on the season, it was Spring/Summer 2004)

When I was about 4 years old, my favourite videos to watch were the OLD OLD recordings of Popeye. I always loved Olive Oyl's awkwardness and ugly-but-oh-so-charming manner. What a doll. Thank god Shelley Duvall played her, I couldn't have cast that better myself:




Brb, putting on some frilly undergarments, rolling my socks down over my HUGE boots and knotting my hair into that adorable little chignon.

p.s. This is the Olive Oyl video I really wanted to post but embedding was disabled. Rude!
