Inspiration from Fantasy 80's Flicks





Ahh, the 80's. So much we wish we could forget (that hair!) but other things can inspire. "The Dark Crystal" was a Jim Henson movie that is apparently getting a sequel in the near future and I bet that there will be more computer generated FX rather than puppeteering this time around. The plot involved a "Gelfing" trying to hunt down a shard of the dark crystal to save the world. In "Red Sonja" (which coincidentally is ALSO coming back in a remake with Rose McGowen taking on the part that Brigitte Nielson had in the 1985 version) an evil Queen uses The Talisman to aide her in her scheme to rule the world. This orb feeds off of light energy and grows stronger with the aide of candles. One of my favorite quotes is when an advisor to the Queen remarks that the Talisman is getting too strong. The Queen says "I want MORE lights, not less" in a very Jersey accent and this is supposed to be in barbarian times! So what does this have to do with accessories? Smokey Quartz and lots of candles! What a mood you'd be setting!
