Damsels with Dragon Tattoos

In complete consistency with my love of book series, such as The Hunger Games, I started reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo a little more than a week ago. Yea, I am totally into it. Lisbeth Salander is just awesome. Now, I am gearing up to see the American film version of the first book, and I have to say I am pretty excited about that too.

At first I was skeptical of the Rooney Mara decision. I mean, who is she? So, of course, I obsessively researched, and found out she comes from a rich family tied to the New York Giants. So she's probably some rich, trust-fund baby. I hated her. And then, she was just around. And I can't really explain it but she grew on me slowly but surly, prying her gelled hair and dark lips into my life. The only problem I continued to have with her was that her fashion choices, while striking, were far from colorful, and could be downright depressing!

Alas, dear Damsels, she's worn some color! I can hardly handle my giddy appreciation! Take a look.

Are you basking in the glory like I am? I think this is all we will ever get in terms of color with this girl, so let's celebrate!
