"Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet. "

"Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves? "

"It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it. "

"I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own. "

Quotes by Andy Warhol



I reccommend this beautiful film, "Factory girl", for those who don't know who she was. Guy Pearce and Sienna Miller are great on it, and, of course, I love every outfit she wears! Here's the trailer:



Recomiendo "Factory girl", una linda película para aquellos que no sepan quién fue ella. Guy Pearce y Sienna Miller están muy bien y, claramente, adoro cada uno de sus conjuntos!
