I created Lil' Mama to service a growing market of real women who just want to look and feel great about themselves. When we look good, there is no doubt that we feel good too. This is a place to talk about all the things we can do, buy, see, hear, support and learn about, to do just that... FEEL GOOD!
Fashion should empower, not enslave! Lil' Mama is a glamorous Australian Made fashion label for "real women", specialising in "plus size" fashion.
"Every woman has the right to look & feel beautiful! Every woman should have access to clothes that make her feel glamorous. Lil' Mama is a clothing label made especially for the "that woman" in all of us"
Beverley Hills 90210, the show that became a cultural phenomenon, revolutionized television and defined a generation.
I don’t know about you, but here at The Lil’ Mama Blog we heart 90210 and if you haven’t already heard, 90210 is coming back to our TV screens this year. The original Beverley Hills, 90210 burst into our lives and impressional minds in 1990, and running for a golden decade, finished up in 2000. Watching it again now is a riot - the fashion, the hair, the language - the epitome of the 90s. Personally, it had more effect on me than I would like to admit. Still to this day, my dream car is a red convertible BMW - Kelly Taylor’s mode of transport. Thankfully though, I have left the tragic hair styles in the past where it belongs.
But Brandon & Brenda Walsh, Kelly Taylor, Donna Martin, Dylan McKay, Steve Sanders & David Silver were a big part of our lives in the most influential times of our lives and its return fills me with an equal mix of dread & elation.
The show will once again revolve around a group of wealthy & not so wealthy teenagers attending West Beverley High - not forgetting the parents and teachers. The good (or bad) news is - some of the original cast is returning! So far it is confirmed that Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth) & Donna Martin (Tori Spelling) have agreed to return to their old stomping ground. And rumour has it that Steve Sanders (Ian Ziering) is interested too.
CW has released an intro to the new cast, so for your enjoyment - here it is.
And for those of us that remember ‘the good old days’, here are the opening credits for the original Beverley Hills, 90210 - featuring the whole cast.
The anticipation has finally been broken as Indiana Jones clawed it’s way through it’s first barrage of snivelling critics at it’s world premier at the prestigious Cannes film festival.
After 19 years Harrison Ford returns as the whip happy, wise cracking adventurer, armed with a few new faces including Aussie beauty Cate Blanchett, that plays fearless Russian villain Agent Spalko complete with dominatrix style military uniform and angular black bowl cut, as well as Hollywood hot property Shia LaBeouf.
Warranting a quick mention, Cate looked stunning in a dusty lilac gown tightly belted at the waist to reveal her post bub bod, after giving birth to her third son, Ignatius, less than five weeks ago and Calista looked simple and chic in a azure blue floor length off the shoulder gown!
But getting back to brass tacks… let’s be honest how critical can we be of a 65 year old man in a hat with a whip, in a movie about a crystal skull? With just days from it’s opening in cinemas around the world, as a fan of the franchise I can only hope that when John Williams’s famous theme music comes pumping through those speakers, I will for the next 122 minutes find my inner child again, and be caught up in the fun, adventure and bravado of the Indiana Jones magic.
Update - Word from Cannes is that the end of the premiere of Indiana Jones on Sunday night was met with a three and a half minute standing ovation! Not an easy feat to achieve - critics at the Cannes Film Festival can be very picky and hard to please. Congrats Indy, you’ve still got it!
Day 2 at the Cannes Film Festival was complete panda-monium! Literally! Kung Fu Panda premiered on the evening of Day 2 and you know you can count on Jack Black to keep things interesting, like blabbing big news and doing the red carpet with a large panda - modelled on the characters from the film. Kung Fu Panda also features the voices of Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu & Seth Rogen and I must say it was refreshing to see Angelina not in her standard black today.
An interesting little tidbit for you - the Christian Louboutin heels that Angelina is wearing at the photo call were specially shortened just for her!
Its confirmed! Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are having twins! And it was all thanks to Jack Black whose big mouth did the dirty work in an interview with the Today Show.
Jack and Ange are in Cannes for the Cannes Film Festival to promote their new movie - Kung Fu Panda - and they sat down with Natalie Morales from the Today Show to discuss all things Kung Fu Panda and of course, babies.
Jack Black’s wife Tanya is expecting her second child and Angelina is pregnant to Brad again, so that was the hot topic of conversation - naturally! Watch the interview below and watch Jack Black’s expression when he realises he let the news slip - priceless!
Its that time of year again - the Cannes Film Festival kicked off today in Cannes, France. It is considered to be the most important film event in the world and is definitely the most prestigious. The Festival will continue for another 10 days and will showcase films representing the entire spectrum of the motion-picture industry.
But most importantly (for me anyway!) this Festival draws all the celebrities out in their finest. After a laid back opening day, the premiere of the new Julianne Moore & Gael Garcia Bernal flick, Blindness, starts the evening festivities. Just a few of the stars to grace the red carpet tonight were Eva Longoria Parker, Natalie Portman, Faye Dunaway, model Bar Rafaeli, Dennis Hopper, Julianne Moore, wannabe actress Mischa Barton, actor & President of the Cannes Film Festival Jury, Sean Penn & Gillian Anderson of X-Files fame, who I assume has only come out of hiding to drum up publicity for the new X-Files film due out soon - The X Files - I Want To Believe. And last but definitely not least, our very own Aussie - Cate Blanchett.
Cate Blanchett gave birth to her 3rd child no more than a month ago and she looked absolutely amazing in Armani Prive, Eva Longoria Parker dazzled in a beautiful blue gown, whilst Faye Dunaway looked stunningly immaculate - have a look for yourself below at a few shots from the opening night.
