I’m finishing up my review of “Sweeney.” Been really distracted this past week, I guess. There’s just a lot going on that I haven’t talked about yet. Or don’t know how yet.
But, while I was researching for my review — uhm, yes, researching — I stumbled across this little tidbit about Ms. Helena Bonham Carter: She’s started a clothing line called Pantaloonies. I can’t be the only one who thinks these jammies are adorable, right? Look at the pantalets!
CUTE!! Can I wear the pantalets out in public? Please?
well….sure you can wear them out in public. they sure beat the plaid flannel jammie bottoms people wear in public here. notice the cute matching pumps! an upgrade from fuzzy slippers for sure.
How cute!
I wonder if they’ll make them in my size? I love that kind of cutesy stuff.
I like that long peignoir she has on over the jammies.
I hope you’re alright, dear.
I saw an article in either Vogue or Vanity Fair on that clothing line a while back and I think I may have saved it. I’ll see if I can find it. I seem to remember the photos being great. It makes me think of a quote from her where she says her home is like something out of beatrix potter. I could see her being like that. I think Bonham Carter’s adorable. Any woman who’s nuts about pantaloons and biker boots has to be alright.
So cute!!
cindy — Yes, everyone wears their flannel pajama bottoms out here, too. Do you live in Southern California as well??
Marisa — I’ve gone through a long phase of really not liking her. Lately, she is winning me over, though. The pantaloons are definitely helping.
I have gone back and forth in terms of enjoying her performances over the years… But I get a kick out of her as a public figure. I just find it fascinating when someone is so unabashedly determined to do things their own way in life no matter what the world might think. For example – having a separate residence but neighboring residence from Tim Burton. I cannot recall if they are married or simply partners but they are raising their kids together and their solution to needing their own space was to simple put a connection in between two separate houses. I thought that was brilliant. Starting a line of frilly women’s underthings that harken back to victorian times? Brilliant. Wearing her hair as a wild bird’s nest to red carpet events? Maybe not brilliant, exactly… but very brave. I like when people have the gumption to be themselves even under the scrutiny of the media.
What’s the connection between their houses, a bridge or something? I’ve never heard this. She’s definitely eccentric. There are other pictures of her clothing line on the site I found — jeans with kind of pantalet trim — and I think she looks adorable in all of them. She normally seems so skeletal and consumptive to me that it’s just refreshing to see her smiling and looking like she eats.
I swear I want to have a tea party where we’re all just sitting around in our pantaloonies, chatting. Who’s in??
I’m totally in!! I want to have a frilly sleeping cap, too.
no…not in southern california, tray. i’m way up in the northern lower peninsula of michigan. the closest i’ve lived to calif. is when we lived in omaha, ne.
I think they have a covered walkway or something. I’ve seen in mentioned in several articles. I always thought it was the epitome of Katherine Hepburn’s idea that men and women were really meant to live next door to each other and visit every so often.
I’m in for the tea party! Flowery teacups and little cakes and pantaloonies and pouffy nightcaps. Like if the mad hatter threw a women’s sleepover.
sheila — Hahaha! A frilly sleeping cap would be awesome.
cindy — Okay. Then this is disturbing. The flannel jammies as clothing trend is spreading East. I thought it was just a So. CA thing.
Marisa — And we all have to wear pumps with our pantaloonies. You know, just in case we need to go out.
I absolutly love, Helena’s new clothing line. Finally, something that’s different. Everything looks the same now a days. It is exactly my style. But I was woundering if anyone knows how could I obtain them, because you see I live out in California.
Kayla — I’m in CA too, and I don’t know where to find them either! I’m gonna keep looking for them, though.
