Teaser Trailer!!!!!

So just a bit ago I was gushing about how amazing the new Alice in Wonderland looks. and today the teaser trailer came out!!!

None of them can be embedded, so here's the link

The odd part is that it looks like Burton made Johnny Depp the main character. He is the Narrator, and maybe it's just the trailer. I know that just by having his voice on it instantly sells the movie to thousands of people. Just the title sells it to me and Burton makes it an instant classic. And Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Anne Hathaway, Stephen Fry, and Christopher Lee (as the Jabberwock!!) just make me want to pee my pants from excitement.

I just found new pics on IMDB of some of the main characters!
The White Queen

The Red Queen (I love that she looks so butch in this pic, not at all a Queen stance!)

The Mad Hatter

and Alice

She's in her amazing victorian dress. If you pay close attention at the trailer she looses her dress when she drinks the "drink me" bottle, and has to create some sort of makeshift gown that was in this picture...

... that I had on my original AIW post.
then I believe any other dress she has is made for her by the Mad Hatter, as you can see him trowing bolts of fabric in the trailer.

Ahhhhhh!!!! I'm so excited. I'm going to have to start doing some Alice DIY to blow off the steam until March.
That seems so far away.
This weekend is Comic Con too..... I'm broke and couldn't afford a pass. But Burton's going to be there promoting his new film 9, and will have some Alice talk in the mix.
David Tennant will be there too..... *sigh*

Next year I will be there.
until then, don't mind my drool

Sad day in Daydream Land

I made my daily stop at Modcloth too heck out the new arrivals, and of course to drool over my favorites, and sad day.......



It's all gone!!!! It's just the same as when I saw this for the first time...

I signed up for them to notify me if the shoes are back in stock.... not that I'll be able to afford them, but it's still nice to know that maybe if I happen across an extra 30+ dollars to throw at shoes, I could be reunited with my loves.....

Another item I was saddened about today....


And just as I got my brother to sit down beside me and look!! He started gushing over all the new arrivals I was looking at on the site..... and I may have been heavily hinting at some of the particular items, seeing as my 20th Birthday is coming up in October :]

And a new awesome discovery!!!!

how amazing are these?!?!
I would totally wear these with my pair of black high top Cons.... that is if I had a pair of black high top Cons.....
I would fold the tops down and up, and down and up. And freak out everybody, and try to cause a few headaches :D

Well, my brother started reading aloud over my shoulder a bit ago..... so I'm going to sign off for now and try to lure him back into the wonderful world of Modcloth.
Wish me luck!

Wonderland

I am super excited for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. It comes out March 5, 2010. And I can tell you now, I may have to give in and see it right then instead of waiting for it to hit the dollar theater like I normally do.

Alice in Wonderland has always been one of my favorites. I love the books, and all the movies I've seen of it. Of course the Disney version, but I also really love the 1985 version (even though I find parts of it terrifying because of the jabberwocky and Carol Channing *shudders*)


And so far the images from the new version look AMAZING!!!


















And check out the older Alice look! I LOVE the costumes... some of them remind me of Joanna in Sweeney Todd




I'm glad it seem like Burton is making it more Victorian, but of course with a colorful twist.
I hope he kept the "drink me" bottle and "eat me" cakes. That's always been my favorite part of the story. I think it may have created my slight obsession with glass bottles.

If you haven't already read the original books, go do so now! The second is my favorite. And yes, there are two. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Alice, Through The Looking Glass. Disney kinda' combined them but left out the cooler parts of the second one. It has amazing pieces of poetry. I've even memorized a few :]

Happy reading!
