There's Something In The Water!

Take a look at what's in the water! It's pretty fantastic!

 

Isn't that great? Makes me laugh! :)

"It's Colin Firth, but not as we know him. He's 12 feet tall and made of fiberglass.

A statue of brooding Mr. Darcy, the character played by Oscar-winner Firth in Pride and Prejudice, was installed Monday in Serpentine Lake in London's Hyde Park." - from USA Today

"The statue of superhuman proportions has been temporarily installed in the Serpentine lake in Hyde Park, London, and will tour the UK before settling at its final home in Lyme Park, Cheshire, where the eye-catching scene was filmed." - The Guardian

Very ironic that the statue depicts Mr. Darcy from P&P 1995 and not the real Mr. Darcy of the novel. It's not my favorite scene, in fact I thought it is a bit ridiculous, but the statue is so funny! Hahahaha! 

How would you like to go swimming or boating and see Mr. Darcy in the lake?  

Sink Me! Contest Entries

Miss Dashwood is having a Charles Dickens Funnies Contest at Sink Me! 

Here are my three entries. All are photos from Bleak House 2005. All three sort of require explanation.

More Period Drama Funnies

A few days ago when I posted those other Expectation/Reality posters I somehow forgot to include these two. 

Photos from: Emma 2009

Photos from: Northanger Abbey 1987 & 2007

Although most of Northanger Abbey is a lot of Catherine Morland's Expectation & Reality moments! :)

Pintrest and Period Drama Funnies

For a while now I've been interested in Pinterest but with one thing and another I haven't joined...until now! 

I'm on Pinterest! It's so fun collecting photos of my favorite period dramas and especially funny posters. It's only been a few days and surprisingly there's already 10 people following me (among them lovely blogging friends like Miss Elizabeth Bennet, Miss Woodhouse and Alexandra) and it's fun following other people too! 

So you're invited to follow me on my Pinterest Miss Laurie of OFC and if you follow me then I'll follow you! :)

On my Pinterest you will find many of my period drama funnies such as these I just made (in the style of the Contrasting Cousins poster):

Do you have any ideas for similar style Expectation/Reality posters?

Very Truly Your's,
