Happy Birthday to the sexiest man in the world.

So, I liked the outfit I wore today. The skirt is so awesome (I had to adjust the brightness a bit because you couldn’t see what colour it was properly). ALSO, I’m sporting my new winter coat in the first photo. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I haven’t had a new one for 4 years so I’m so excited about it. And the colour is perfection. 

WHY WON’T TUMBLR LET ME UPLOAD MORE AUDIO POSTS? Stupid gits.

Ahoy there, new followers!!

I think it’s about time I made another of these introduction type things, and because I stupidly can’t remember how I tagged the last one, I have to write out all this rubbish about myself again.

• ^That is a photo me, Sophie, from just over a year ago.
• I’m 17 and live in Yorkshire, England.
• I love classic films a HUGE amount, if you haven’t already gathered that from my tumblr.
• Deborah Kerr, Greer Garson, Eleanor Parker, Barbara Stanwyck, Maureen O’Hara, Bette Davis, Rosalind Russell, Lucille Ball, Marlene Dietrich, Ava Gardner, Claudette Colbert, Clara Bow, Myrna Loy, Eve Arden, Norma Shearer, Irene Dunne, Celeste Holm, Jean Simmons, Audrey Hepburn, Glynis Johns, Cyd Charisse, Lauren Bacall, Katharine Hepburn, Marion Davies, Vivien Leigh, Rita Hayworth, Joan Blondell, Gina Lollobrigida, Hedy Lamarr, Joan Fontaine, Ginger Rogers and Olivia de Havilland, to name but a few, are some of my favourite classic actresses.
• Cary Grant, Gregory Peck, Ronald Colman, Walter Pidgeon, Errol Flynn, James Garner, Jack Lemon, William Powell, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, James Cagney, Laurence Olivier, James Dean, Paul Henreid, Montgomery Clift, Peter O’Toole, Robert Taylor, and Gary Cooper are some of my favourite classic actors.
• Some modern actors/actresses I love: Gillian Anderson, Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman, Anjelica Huston, Helena Bonham Carter, David Tennant, Francesca Annis, Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson, Viggo Mortensen, Hugh Laurie, Robert Hardy.
• I have an odd girl crush on Lynda Bellingham, and also one on Zoe Wanamaker’s voice.
• I actually have girl crushes on a lot of people.
• But I’m in a polygamous marriage with Cary Grant, David Tennant, Alan Rickman, and Errol Flynn.
• I know, you’re all really jealous.
• 
• I also happen to be the love child of Gregory Peck and Deborah Kerr, and am so lucky to have Greer Garson as my Aunty (Greer Garson, fyi, is Sara’s mother - her father being Walter Pidgeon. That makes us cousins. :D )
• Illy is my Aunty Mame, and she brings me back puppets from her wild escapades to far off lands. She also lets me practice my Italian, French and German on her because she speaks about 234727829834 languages fluently, and sometimes I want to steal her brain.. but I’ve never told her that because it might scare her.
• BACK ON TRACK.
• I play the trumpet and sing. I also play the recorder (doesn’t everyone?), can rustle up a tune on the clarinet and alto sax (I can ~blow on the baritone and tenor sax and pretend I’m playing a didgeridoo on the bass clarinet :D ), and play a bit of guitar and piano.
• I have a dog called scamp and he’s SO CUTE YOU MIGHT DIE.
• My most watched film is probably The Sound of Music.
• Closely followed by The King and I and The Parent Trap (1961).
• 
• I LOVE THOSE FILMS.
• I have a lot of family in Italy and Ireland, most of whom I’ve never met. 
• When I say a lot I mean A LOT. There are hundreds of them. 
• I’m getting bored with this introduction thing now, so if you want to know anything else just ask me.
• GOODBYE, MY CHILDREN!

I know we’re talking about Royal Families, but I just wanted to take the opportunity to say that sometimes I’ll see Nicolas Sarkozy in the news and be like “Dayum, he’s fine”…

And then I’ll see a photo of him and all of those feelings disappear. 

I don’t understand how people can watch horror films…

…I’ve never watched one, and I hope I never will. I’m too much of a fraidy cat. Yesterday I was listening to music on spotify and the Paranormal Activity 2 trailer came on. It was only the sound trailer but I completely freaked out when I heard it, and then a bit later on, it started playing again and this time I accidentally I accidentally clicked on the banner which takes you to the actual trailer. I didn’t even see all of it, but I had a nightmare about it last night. :|

I wish I could have met Greer Garson…

…and Deborah, too, but at this moment…I’m feeling ridiculously upset over the fact that I’ll never be able to worship at Greer’s feet. 

I keep imagining Maureen O’Hara dancing with Yul in the Shall We Dance? scene, instead of Deborah.

NO!!!!!! WHAT IS THIS!? 

Ever since I read her autobiog. I’ve been tormented for weeks by the image of MOH as Anna. I love you, Maureen, but PLEASE STOP INFILTRATING THE KING AND I PART OF MY BRAIN, IT’S NOT NICE! Deborah owns exclusive rights to it, you cannot, and WILL NOT, force your way in there!!!
