I couldn't wait to get home from work last night, mostly because for the first time in a long time, I had absolutely no plans at all. I threw my bags down by the door, slid on my favourite comfy pants and cooked myself a tasty little dinner. I knew that movies and relaxing were all that I had on the agenda for the evening, and that a night like this was more than a little overdue.
Earlier in the week, while perusing my usual celeb and fashion blogs, I came across some photos of a few of my favourite ladies, including Alicia Silverstone, at the opening of Peter Alexander's new Los Angeles boutique. This prompted me to watch two films last night: Clueless and Blast From The Past. It also prompted this little tribute to Ms. Silverstone today. She's an actress, producer, passionate animal welfare and environmental activist, and huge promoter of her vegan lifestyle. She's also a major supporter of Stella McCartney's vegan-friendly line of clothing and accessories. I couldn't admire Alicia more for her strong dedication to what she believes in.
I'm still mourning the demise of Miss Match (which I keep praying will be released on dvd one of these days!) Plus, who could forget those classic Aerosmith vids that she made such an impression doing in the 90s. Truth be told, if there was ever a show on MTV to become Alicia's BFF, I may very well apply.
"I don't feel like a dream girl, but I think it's really nice. I guess a part of me wishes I got that sort of attention in my real life. Because in my real life, I'm this weird, dorky girl who just hangs out with her dogs. " Alicia Silverstone

Clearly she's a girl after my own heart. You know, with the dogs/blonde hair/fashion thing. Kinda like you...wait a minute. Now I get why we're friends! She's rad. You're rad.
=) I loved Miss Match and Blast From The Past!! She's so gorgeous.
Alicia Silverstone is amazing and I totally loved her in Clueless. She's really pretty and I love the first picture you put up of her; She just looks so content.
Oh man, I remember seeing Clueless in the theatre and LOVING it. Like Alicia, I'm blonde, vegan...and I love my dogs too! huh.
I've always had a soft spot for her. I just think that people have a really hard time seeing her as someone other than Cher.
