Do you ever get that mean red feeling?

the other day i had a classic movie night. the first movie we watched was breakfast at tiffanys. not gonna lie. i felt kind of inspired by Holly Golightly played by Audrey Hepburn.

In the movie, holly golightly seemed to be the most poised and put together woman in the world. she was strong and independant. every guy was after her but she never seemed to let them get a hold of her. she was the epitome of perfection. at least on the outside

inside holly was still trying to figure out who she was. she had philosophies on life that were a little off in some ways but they were hers. she had everything in and out of order at the same time. but if you passed her in the street you would have no idea.

she found ballet slippers in her fridge. she had a couch made out of a bathtub. she had a cat with no name. she went out her window more than out her front door. she sang on her fire escape. she threw crazy parties. she kept her phone in a suitcase. she visited a criminal named Mr. Sally Tomato in singsing. she stole from the fiveanddime on occasion for the thrill. and when she had a "mean red day" she found her escape at tiffany's.

holly was an odd character to say the least but shes just so classy, so elegant. "every girl wants to be her and every boy wants to do her" says the movie trailer. shes the kind of person you could never believe has a problem in the world. she takes life as it comes at her. she fixes everything herself and needs noone (except for paul in the end). i envy her independence. i rely on everyone around me. i wouldnt know what to do with myself if i didnt have someone to take care of me. she left home when she was 14 and somehow managed to be that glamorous girl.

do you want to be like holly golightly?

i think i do

i love you

Holly Golightly: I'm like cat here, a no-name slob. We belong to nobody, and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other.

Holly Golightly: You know those days when you get the mean reds?

Paul Varjak: The mean reds, you mean like the blues?

Holly: No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?

Paul: Sure.

Paul: Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!
