Pushing Daisies is in my opinion one of the best series ever made. I intsantly fell in love with all the characters and could not help smile all the way through every episode. Unfortunately there are only 2 seasons. It got such praise by the critics, many emmy nominations and wins but the ratings dropped. Why?
What a shame!
Costume designer Robert Blackman and the whole creative team did such an inspiring job - it's a colourful feast for our eyes! Indeed it's a visual explosion of bright colours in warm tones - the majority is shown in reds, oranges or yellows and there's virtually no blue seen. Often you can see circular background shapes and round windows - they even shot most frames within circles - it was all done reminiscent to storybooks. Absolutely beautiful I say.
And then there's my own personal highlight. Chucks wardrobe.
Charlotte "Chuck" Charles (nearly all characters have aliterative names) is the female lead and has a distinctive eye for a vintagey wardrobe. She especially likes the 50s and occassionally dabbles in the 60s but is always such a gorgeous little thing to look at. The actress Anna Friel is one stunning woman!
(My laptop is broken - remember? So no picture collages, just a few plonked on here - just like that)
If you haven't seen Pushing Daisies yet - go on and watch it! This is a very limited selection of her wardrobe - I promise Chuck Charles and her bright dresses, her perky demeanor and quirky ideas will make you smile!
I just finished watching season 2 and loved it!! I have it on my Netflix instant queue so I'll probably go back and watch it again. Her wardrobe is so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you...this programme is absolutely one of the best I've ever seen! If not THE best! I instantly fell in love with it. It's storybook nature, the way it deals with a rather gruesome plot basis in such a beautiful, funny and ethereal way....and of course, Chuck's wardrobe! xxx
ReplyDeleteyeah I loved how quirky and funny it was! And gorgeous clothes of course :)
