Let's Talk Practical Magic... BLOG PARTY!

        
                    
 




"I only have 2 words to say to you: Jimmy Angelov..."







My favorite scene in Practical Magic is where Gillian meets Jimmy Angelov (Goran Višnjić)

This is how I discovered the song, "Is This Real" by Lisahall


Swapping Howdies decided to post SECRETS at her party! I LOVE her brain
This is my SECRET though it's not that much of a secret  



Since it's such a short scene in the movie and I really want you to hear the whole song, I'll give you some different eye candy that I know you will still appreciate.

I know I do

This is the song "Is This Real" set to scenes from Blood Ties. Henry Fitzroy is defintely easy to look at and he's a Vampire. He's played by actor Kyle Schmid.
Sadly the show was cancelled in 2008.


Your Welcome!
I have the complete series on DVD

Now, back to Practical Magic

I haven't read the book, I've only seen the movie.
 If you'd like to read the book, this is what it looks like:


In The Movie:
The women in the Owens family are cursed with having their true loves die tragically. This is what happened to Sally and Gillian's parents. That is how they ended up living with their aunts. Gillian, the flirty, charming sister played by Nicole Kidman, wants desperately to fall in love. Sally, the more responsible and gifted sister, played by Sandra Bullock, decides that after all the heartbreak she's witnessed, she never wants to fall in love. So, she decides to cast an impossible spell to find her true love, knowing it can never be fulfilled. 

This is another favorite scene of mine.

Sally:
"He will hear my call a mile away. He will whistle my favorite song. He can ride a pony backwards." "He can flip pancakes in the air. He'll be marvelously kind. And his favorite shape will be a star. And he'll have one green eye and one blue."

"The guy I dreamed of doesn't exist. And if he doesn't exist, I'll never die of a broken heart. And if he doesn't exist, I'll never die of a broken heart."


Those were my absolute favorite two scenes from the movie, but the entire movie is great. If you have not seen it already, then check it out.




   Simple Love Spell

Light a small White or Pink candle
Place it by the window sill at night.
This is you calling out to your love.

   
Feeling Witchy?

Get into some Wicked "textured" Nicole by OPI nail polish
I'm addicted to that crack!

I painted one side with a red base and the other with an orange base, then I used a black "texture coat" crack polish by Nicole by OPI...

I LOVE IT!

  1. You managed to include two of my favorites scenes in the movie although truth be told I love the whole thing. If the characters in the movie were real I'd want them for friends. Loved the post.

  9. Wow, you have done an excellent job with this post. Where do I begin? First of all, I do love Sally's love spell. That was my very favorite part of the movie, plus seeing the spell's end result. (Aidan Quinn is one of my very favorite actors.) Also, I want to thank you for posting the song/video for Blood Ties. I wonder if it is on Netflix or Apple TV.

    Thanks for visiting my PM post, too. :D Your comments were so nice.

    Blessings!

  10. I am loving the music, thanks for introducing me to a new (to me) artist.

    I see we read a lot of the same books (I am reading Last Sacrafice Bk 6 of the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead right now) so I will have to check out the ones you suggested (alas I won't get it for free, no nook or anything else for me :().

    I also almost bought some of that nail polish the other day but with all the art I do I wouldn't be able to keep them pretty like yours.

    Thanks for the supper fun PM post!

  19. I Love Goran!! great post!
    I only read "real" books, as I am not going to promote the endangering of employees in publishing houses, Printers or books. my dad was a printer. I gave swapping howdies 2 secrets...she wouldn't use the first one at all, and the second one She changed and edited. therefore I asked her to keep my secrets/quotes out of her post altogether. If you ask for someone's thoughts or quotes, you have to keep them as they are, especially if you doing like the "Secret Boards" etc. That is censorship in the boldest form.
    I hope she didn't edit yours.
