Rachel from A Girl's Place tagged me with ''The Celebrities Tag''. Thank you for the tag, Rachel!

Rules:
Paste the ''Famous People Tag'' button on your own blog
Answer the questions
Tagging is optional


The Questions:
1. Who's your favourite actress? (Okay, pick at least three, because there are so many of them)
 Lucy Griffiths, Lily James, and Jessica Brown-Findlay.

2. Which red carpet dress is the best one you ever saw?
Oh, no. I never look at red carpet dresses. But let me see....this one:
It's the only dress I liked from a actress I know. Apart from that of Sybil, that one was pretty too, but I liked this one more.

3. If there is going to be a new Pride and Prejudice, which actor and actress would you choose for Elizabeth and Darcy?
O. Uhm.....Emma Watson as Elizabeth...
and...........oh, I really don't know :( I'll skip this once, if I may.

4. Do you know Lily James full name without looking up?
I think I do. Let me think.....Lily Chloe NiƱetta Johnsson, was that it? I have the feeling I missed something or have something wrong.


5. Who's your favourite actor?(pick at least three, because there are also so many actors)

Joe Armstrong, Matthew MacFayden, and Dan Stevens.

6. Which red carpet dress is the worst you ever saw?
This one really is ugly!
7. Who's your favourite Royal family?
Prince William and Kate Middleton, I think.

8. Are there actors/actresses you don't like? If yes, why?
Tom Hiddleston. If you want to know why, just look at my review of Return To Cranford, in the comments ;) and then there is Keira Knightley, she plays in not so nice movies, except for Pride and Prejudice of course. And...I don't know. No one, I think. 

9. Do you have a favourite child actor/actress?
No, I don't think so. Not Shirley Temple...no, no one.

10. What's the prettiest celebrities name you ever heard?
Eh....Rose Eleanor Arbuthnot Leslie or Lily Chloe Ninette Thomson(now I know something was not right).
11. What's your favourite movie quote?
Lady Violet's quotes from Downton Abbey.

12. If you where a actress, and you where casted to play one of the ladies of DA, who would you want to play?
Sybil. Because she has the prettiest dress and loveliest hairstyles and character. Only I would have to die, that's not a nice part.

13. Do you often talk about actors/actresses with your family?
Yes. Not really all the time, but sometimes we like to talk about it(not my parents or little siblings, though)

14. Which actor/actress would you want to meet? (Right, just pick two, to make it funner)

Downton week is over...

It's over. Downton week is over... I enjoyed to read all the posts and make posts myself. It was really a fun week, filled with Downton things. It was great. But now it's over. And I don't mean only this Downton Abbey week. I also mean Downton Abbey itself. It's over after the sixth season. Such a shame. Althought it was not as fun as the first three seasons, with Matthew and Sybil still alive. The last three seasons, I mean.






Thank you, Naomi, for this great DA week. I enjoyed it a lot!

Downton things

~The first time I saw Matthew, I thought he wouldn't be nice. How unbelievable, right?
~I loved the begin tune from the start.
~I liked Sybil from the start. I mean, who can't?
~When Mary engaged with that terribly annoying man, Sir Richard Carlisle, I knew he would be a trouble.
~I didn't know Lavinia would die, I just thought she would leave or something. Actually very stupid, because she loved Matthew, you know? I didn't found her annoying. The opposite, I liked her very much. She's maybe a little bit like myself.
~Lady Violet was the one we laughed the hardest about.
~I never thought Matthew would die. Especially not immediately after George's birth. In a car accident!? Really!? Why did Julian Fellowes do that? It's just...not fair. But after all, Dan Stevens, who played Matthew, wanted to leave the set, so Julian Fellowes had to. Or he could just let season 3 be the last, without the part of Matthew's dead. And why did he let Sybil die then? Jessica Brown-Findlay didn't want to leave, but she had to.

~I didn't think Mary would be kind to Lavinia. If she didn't, she would be even meaner than I thought. Not that she was mean in season two, but you know what I mean...
~I really had trouble with Lavinia's death. She was such a nice, sweet girl. I wish she would stay, and Matthew would just marry Mary and she would marry...I don't know, just someone else, and stay in the story. Maybe that sounds mean, but if she just loved someone else, everything would be allright.
But well, period drama's, right?
~I loved the friendship between Anna and Mary.
~I never thought Anna would have to go to prison.
~Tony Gillingham annoyed me a lot. Really a lot!

For the end, a quote from Robert.

Costumes!

Now...the costumes of Downton Abbey! The costumes are really pretty, although some are not so...nice. Everyone has an other style and taste.

Lady Mary Crawley.
Lady Mary wears the second best outfits. She has some beautiful dresses on her wardrobe.

 And she has such elegant style!
 I love this color blue! It's so very pretty! And that hat and the pearl necklace. So beautiful!

Lady Edith Crawley.
Lady Edith wears some very pretty dresses too. Not all are nice, because look at this dress.
It's very ugly! Sorry to say this, but I don't think this one is pretty. But she has very pretty dresses too.

 Lady Sybil Crawley.
Lady Sybil has the prettiest wardrobe. She has light and gorgeous outfits.
And no one can skip Sybil's blue bloomers.
And her kitchen dress and that blue evening gown.



Lady Rose MacClare.
Lady Rose also has very pretty dresses. She has elegant and beautiful gowns.




Lady Cora Crawley.
 Lady Cora has some pretty dresses, but some are not very pretty.
These are pretty, I didn't mean to say that these are ugly with the last sentence.
This blue dress is, I think, the prettiest of those I have seen.

All together, the Downton Abbey costumes are veeeeeery pretty. I didn't let the downstairs dresses to come by, because those are not so colourful and bright as upstairs. Now, only the wedding dresses will be shown, just for some more prettieness.




I only couldn't get a picture of Sybil's wedding dress, but that's because you never see her wedding dress. Her wedding is not shown, sadly. She would probably choose a beautiful wedding gown, maybe even prettier than Rose's, but I don't think one will ever outcome Rose's wedding gown.



 


  

My face when...Downton Abbey

This gif was just for fun. Because it's so funny, I wanted to begin with this gif. So, on to the real work.

My face when... I say something and no one listens.

My face when... someone says something and I can't hear it.

My face when... there is a quarrel and I fear the worst.

My face when... someone assumes something and I say he or she is wrong, he or she doesn't want to believe it and then someone tells I am right.

My face when... someone says something mean about me or my family and friends.

My face when... someone says something silly.

My face when... I'm bored.

My face when... someone says something unbelievable.

My face when... it's my birthday and I thought everyone forgot and then...surprise!

My face when... I'm stunned.


That was all. I never did my face when, so this is new to me. The first. Maybe I'll do more later.
