The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
I am a raving fanatic. I read the books, watched the Swedish movies, watched the American movie, and read the books again. It never gets old. I love the main character, Lisbeth Salander. She's a kiss ass girl who is pretty insane but still helps solve the mystery of a missing girl. I can't really explain the plot its to confusing.
There is only one thing I like more than Lisbeth, and that is her clothes. They are amazing. Not the usual definition of amazing, with sparkles and diamonds and stuff. No. They are amazingly torn, shredded, worn out, ripped, cut garments that suit her perfectly. Very few people can pull off that look. Noomi Rapace pulled it off (she was the original Swedish Lisbeth), as did Rooney Mara (the American Lisbeth).
I'm obviously not the only one who loves her clothes though. Recently, H&M launched a clothing line inspired by Lisbeth Salander. I didn't go smoothly thought. (There was a whole lot of controversy. If you want to know more about the debate, click here http://abcnews.go.com/Business/girl-dragon-tattoo-clothing-line-launches-criticism/story?id=15165315#.TwHlndSiGHc.)
Anyway, I thought the collection was great and really captured Lisbeth's essence. Lisbeth's clothes were her armor against the world.
