Tiffany & Co is opening its newest standalone store on alberni and burrard in downtown Vancouver. Of course its baby blue boxes and whats inside the boxes are what many ladies and girls want for Xmas. This grand opening features a $500,000 blue diamond ring and $100,000 diamond necklace. Funny though, if you have both, you still cannot buy a house in vancouver. According the the latest figure, the average housing price in Vancouver is $700,000.
People talk about breakfast at Tiffany, for those who haven't seen this film, I highly recommend it. Other than the charming love story, Audrey Hepburn's character is very recognizable.
Holly played by Audrey, is a young woman in her twenties, ran away from a rural home where she was married at 14. She wants to be in films, so she moved to Hollywood, then to New York. When that doesn't work out, she then decides to get married, to a rich man from brazil.
Paul played by George Peppard, is a young writer who has problem writing novels, instead, he lives on a much older married woman.
When they met, things got interesting, Holly gets into trouble, and keeps on trying new things. Paul gets inspired and started writing his novels, which finally got published.
They have different ways to handle their lives when they feel it wasn't a life they wanted. Holly was the reason Paul needed to get out of his routine, and Holly denies any reason (including Paul and her nameless cat) for her to settle down.
The film ends in a classic hollywood way, a short chase in the rain, and hug and kiss. Although the original novel by Truman Capote did not have a romantic happy ending, and Marilyn Monroe was supposed to play Holly.
It is great to see Holly finally stopped running away from herself, but I still see some girls running, running away from themselves...
