Monday Muse: The Arts and Fashion on Fire

Hello there! Welcome back on the final edition of Hunger Games madness  in Monday Muse. This series of post is purely intended to cause agitation among lovely Hunger Games Tributes. I believe that most of you have watched Hunger Games movie and just like me, you broke up in tears when the movie has just started for about ten minutes. What? You didn't? Seriously, girl, what is wrong with you? (If you are a guy, you're just slightly forgiven!)


Well, as you can see, the previous posts are about Capitol fashion and Hunger Games ID card. I was thinking to do a review for the movie but my blogger friends have done super-awesome-asdfghjkl review on it already.So in this post, I'm going to highlight awesome things that Tributes create to show their love to Hunger Games, and fashion for the Hunger Games Tributes!♥ 

I'm terribly sorry that I forget the exact urls where I found some of the brilliant arts. None of these arts are mine and they belong to their respective owners.

Found here. The detention didn't happen for real. He (Timothy) did this as an April's Fool joke. :)

Found in Tumblr. One of my favorite Hunger Games arts!

Monday Muse: Hunger Games ID Card!

Have you registered yourself as Panem Citizen and received your identity card?

Yes, you heard me right. Now you can register yourself as Panem citizen!

Citizens of Panem: your Capitol would like to remind you  to keep your District Identification Press up-to-date. If you have not yet registered, continue through the link below to complete the Citizen application process. May the odds be ever in your favor!

The awesome site: http://thecapitol.pn/

You will have the option to identify yourself via Facebook or Twitter. You also get to choose your own photo in the ID card. In the end, you should receive a card like this:

I know, I was really EXCITED when I saw the awesome ID cards too!

Just for head up, you CAN'T choose your district. And I get... *no, I don't need drumroll for this quiet announcement* 

District 3. Technology.

*sniff*

It's not like I hate District 3... I mean, Beetee and Wiress are from District 3! As we all know, Beetee plays a really important part in Catching Fire, and he's the one who makes Katniss' super cool bow later. So it's not like I despise District 3. If only, if only I get...

If only I get District 4.

I love Finnick too much. Yay.

This is my identity card. I slightly *cough* edit it:

At least I'm a Technical Support and the job sounds really cool. My friend tried this too and she got District 11. She becomes gardener. :P

Seriously, it feels a lot like sorted into different houses by Sorting Hat. Well, despite my rambling, I still think that the website is awesome! You really should check it out. So what are you guys waiting for? Go toour new government site and get your identity card! Then tell me what district and assigned occupation you got! :)

May the odds be ever in your favor, friends.

Monday Muse: The Hunger Games, Official Illustrated Movie Companion by Kate Egan

 

Why did I read this book?

Let me tell you one thing: I’m beyond excited to watch Hunger Games. I mean, Hunger Games is awesome. It is one of the best books I’ve ever read, aside from the epic Harry Potter series. I still remembered the time I jumped in happiness when they announce that Hunger Games will be made into a movie. Sure I frowned at the casts, since my Peeta is kind of different with Josh Hutcherson and my Katniss somehow looks tougher… but well, mostly I’m just granted that now more people will soon know how awesome Hunger Games is. I cried in happiness when Taylor Swift, who is my favorite singer, finally released her song, Safe and Sound, for Hunger Games soundtrack. Oh, just imagine my excitement when I watched music video for Safe and Sound. I practically spent a day texting everyone I know that Safe and Sound is one of the most beautiful music video ever!

I don’t usually buy or read a movie companion, and this is my first time buying one. This book is quite informative. I enjoyed pictures from the movie, and it’s really fun to learn more about Suzanne Collins. I guess the most I enjoyed from this movie companion is pictures of Capitol residents. I have to admit that in my mind, Capitol people are people with zero fashion sense and full of silly outfits. I can’t be more wrong. The fashion amazes me. It’s outrageous, but somehow, it is also pretty. They use bright and hideous colors, colors I don’t think I will ever wear in real life, but the color palettes fit right as Capitol’s colors. They look like dolls, people who are only seen in fashion magazines and runways. I don’t think that the costume designer can do a better job on it!

Since they said a picture paints a thousand words, you can see for yourself:

 

 

 Aren’t they look *ehem* stunning?

I think it might be a great idea to wear Capitol fashion for Halloween this year! I may would be the lady with fancy nail polish. If you know what I mean…

It’s too bad that there aren’t many good photos of Katniss and Peeta in this book. Since I’m Team Peeta, it’s kind of unacceptable. Anyway, Liam Hemsworth as Gale makes me intrigued to have a Gale poster in my bedroom. Now I know why Katniss is torn between Peeta and Gale... err, my new love for Liam Hemsworth is a different topic I guess.

 What do you think of the Capitol fashion movie companion book? Are you as excited as me to watch the movie? :)
