alice...update


tonight was the royal premiere of alice in wonderland!

it was pouring cats and rabbits... and rain.

we got to stand next to tim burton and helena bonham carter.
i was able to meet her afterwards and give her a little white rabbit ♥
i totally stumbled over myself. i just totally adore her.
im so sorry i took a video but its insane & i just cant post it!
im babbling something like "i love you" its horrid. BUT
she was AMAZING in it. absolutely riveting and perfect.

and theeeeeen we saw alan rickman ♥
(and of course the rest of the cast... but.. alan rickman!) brilliant.

also. it was a royal premiere..
so the trumpets sounded and prince charles came in!
he sat a good 20 rows ahead of us.. i was dying to get
a look at him wearing 3-D glasses.. but alas. he never turned around.
i have to admit.. during the film
(which was stunning and redeems the story for me completely)
i just kept thinking.... "im watching a film with prince charles"
"hey, whats the prince of wales doing tonight?"
"oh, hes watching a film with me"

also.. one other cute thing,
when we were in the rest room
i was washing my hands and looked next to me
and there was anne hathaway standing there like a baton.
she was really really really lovely & we had a little chat ♥

i swear im not a star stalker! im not! see? no photos here..
but.. this was really special ... and im really thankful i got to go ♥

ps. look what my friend heather just found:
*clip* of us on the red carpet scurrying past
johnny depp.. giggling... like... idiots. (9 seconds in)

You were down the rabbit hole for certain.

Oh my gosh!!!!!! You are so darn lucky!!! How incredibly fun was that!!!
The film won't be to my little town until March 5th. There will be no royalty, no stars and probably no 3 d glasses. We will simply have a stinky old theater with stale popcorn. I shall enjoy the movie none the less, but all the while be jealous I don't live somewhere magical!
Hugs and friends,
shell

You've gone brunette and it looks beautiful! Where was Johnny Depp? I would be looking for him not Anne Hathaway!
I love, love, love Helena too. Thank god she exists to make the world more yellow and interesting.
Our wedding which is next Saturday is Alice in Wonderland meets the 70's theme. I love this post! Helena was lucky to meet you as well! xx

stephanie dosen said...

ooh congrats on your wedding!
that theme sounds really cool!!

ah eek..
i did see johnny depp..
embarrassingly enough.... we
walked right by him on the
carpet and didnt even see him.
in fact i just found out that we
were on tv standing behind
him totally unaware!

he came in after we were
seated.. he spent over an
hour signing autographs
in the rain. aw.

stephanie dosen said...

also i found the stream version
that was recorded.. its basically
what they show on the screen
while we are seated inside...

Thalia said...

I spotted you! :)

Wow, when you hob-nob, you really hob with some big nobs, yes? That is so exciting.

Belle-Etoile said...

Aw, I love your outfit. The fur against the filminess of your skirt is just lovely.

It sounds like you had an incredible evening! As cool as you mingling with the cast strikes me, I still can't get over the idea of Prince Charles being there. I wish you'd gotten to see what he looked like with his 3D glasses on!

Lara said...

Your HAIR *and* MAKEUP... it is beautiful!!! :-) How exciting you got to be there at the premier! I'm so excited about this movie!

Love_Again said...

cute story. sounds like a magical night, and you certainly looked the part.

Sarah said...

WOWOW!!! You are so lucky! What a treat to go to such an event. I'm so jealous! haha!!! You look absolutely lovely too :)

Jo Potter said...

Hi Stephanie,
How strange... I thought I left you a message here but it seems to have disappeared!
Oh well, maybe the fairies stole it.:)
Your evening at the royal premiere sounds like it was really magical. The video clip is fun. Johnny Depp is still cute and you look very lovely in your dress!:)
Talking of rabbits... I have at last, the prints of the Snow Hare! I collected them from the printers on Saturday... I promised you a free copy a while ago, for being a lovely model for the illustration...
If you would like to email me your address through my website, I will send the print to you this Friday. I hope that is ok?
Have a lovely week.:)
Jo.xx

Jo Potter said...

P.S.
The Snow Hare print has turned out really well and looks just like the original painting!x:)

Emily's Moose - Karolina Kubikowska said...

I just found your blog a few minutes ago (thanks to Elva Undine at Folk & Faerie) and I am absolutely enchanted! Saved to favorites now and I'm looking forward to going through your previous posts--I especially like the picture of you with your dog and cat and you're wearing Max's crown and wolf ears. Your cat looks a bit put out.
Can't wait to see Alice in Wonderland! I'm listening to Danny Elfman's amazing score right now and feeling like I've fallen down the rabbit hole myself.
Thanks for such a wonderful blog!

Kiki said...
