I ♥ ‘Beauty in Motion’

This may be a bit of a shameless pimp, but I was going to post about this eventually anyway, so does that make me less biased? In any case, I’ll take it because I simply must share with you the wonders of Lily and the Muse, a video archive dedicated to beauty on film. I’ve recently joined as a contributor which is exciting in itself, and I’m super thrilled to be a part of such a lovely project. My delight aside, the site is plum full of beautiful little gems from commercials, to music videos, to film clips and much more.

So I wanted to share some of my personal favourite videos with you all, and, of course, encourage you to check out Lily and the Muse. :)

This has got to be one of my all-time favourite commercials. It’s so sweet and whimsical. For one, it’s downright awesome for featuring the lovely Annie Little and her song ‘Fly Me Away’. Two, I love stop motion films. And three, it makes me want to play dress-up! A very charming advertisement.

I ♥ NY Lottery ‘Bunnies’ Commercial

I should preface this with a warning that I’m powerless in the face of baby animals, bunnies, generally cute things, etc. When combined… I lose all ability to function like a rational human being. You’ve been cautioned. :P

I was sitting in the living room this evening watching Jeopardy (I know, I’m a huge nerd. But I’m not ashamed of it – I love Jeopardy! And trivia games in general) and what came on the television but the following commercial:

Can I get a big “AWWWWWW!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥”, please? Seriously. How adorable is that? Until now, I never thought anything could top my all-time favourite television commercialⁱ. Apparently I was wrong because this is beyond adorable! Little bunnies at the carnival! *melts into a puddle of goo*

Bunnies!!! ♥

1. I can’t find a video of it, but it’s the one where the puppy comes running around the corner into the kitchen at the sound of the can opener, slips and slides across the kitchen floor into the wall. He does this for a few days. On the last day, the puppy’s owner sets up a wall of toilet paper and when the puppy slides across the floor, he crashes into the wall of toilet paper. Super cute! (»)
