Mark your calendars, ladies, because it’s almost time for Christian Bale to strut his stuff on screen in the next Batman movie. The new flick, The Dark Knight (followup to 2005’s Batman Begins), opens Friday, July 18. I welcome any excuse to drool over C. Bale’s hot, muscled bod. Girlfriend, you know I’ll be there!
The fabulous and talented Maggie Gyllenhaal, one of my favorite actresses, takes over the role of Rachel Dawes (played by Katie Holmes in the first film) playing opposite C. Bale as Batman’s love interest. I dig Maggie’s trademark brown tresses, especially when she wears her hair long. From the trailers and previews I’ve seen so far, that’s how she wears it in the film.
Although Maggie often plays brunettes, she has sported other hair colors and cuts in several of her films and on the red carpet.
Morning eye candy… Mmm… Christian…
Hooray, girls! We made it to Thursday! Are you ready for the holiday weekend? No more pencils, no more books, no more teacher’s dirty looks (j/k educators). 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

July 3rd, 2008 at 8:37 amYay! Today is basically Friday. 🙂
hey, have you played with your orange shadow yet? I thought of another idea: use a neutral wash, put the orange in the crease. Line upper lash line with dark brown, and the lower lash line with bronze (outer half) and the orange (inner half).

July 3rd, 2008 at 9:22 amHi Amanda,
I know! I’m excited for the weekend. What are you doing for the 4th?
I know it’s totally irrational, but I’m a little terrified of using the orange in the crease, which is why I hadn’t even thought of any looks with it in that area! I will have to try this look, though, this weekend. I hope I can pull it off. 🙂

Karen says

July 3rd, 2008 at 10:47 amLOL! I can imagine Batman checkin’ out your blog “Hi Karen, I’m looking for a black eyeliner that won’t smudge or rub off on clothing, any recommendations?” 😀
Happy Thursday!

July 3rd, 2008 at 10:50 am🙂 I’m lovin’ the thought bubbles!

July 3rd, 2008 at 10:53 amI LOVE Christian Bale!!! Love, love, love him! (and here I thought I was the only one, Karen!)
Considering the little requisites needed from the female co-stars of his Batman movies – not beautiful, not statuesque, not even good acting required – I think I might have a shot at the role for the third movie! Yay! 😉

July 3rd, 2008 at 12:13 pmYour captions are hilarious! I think Maggie looks good as a blonde although I love her brunette look as well. I didn’t like Katie Holmes as Batman’s gf at all, especially it was around the time she started dating Tom Cruise.
Karen says
July 3rd, 2008 at 1:22 pmHi Glosslizard,
I’d so offer to give Bat Man a personal man makeup makeover!
I hope you’re reading this, C. BALE!!!!
Karen says
July 3rd, 2008 at 1:22 pmHi Tiffany,
Oh, nice! Are you doing anything special for your extra looooong weekend?
I’m probably going to the country fair. Bring on the roasted corn and the petting zoo. 🙂
Karen says
July 3rd, 2008 at 1:22 pmHi Nyspender,
Girlfriend, apparently our man C.Bale is in high demand. If you make it onto the big screen I will have to volunteer my services as “makeup consultant”. Part of my job will be to accompany you on set so that I can stalk C.Bale. 😀
Karen says
July 3rd, 2008 at 1:22 pmHi Dao,
I like her as a blonde, too! I think it makes her look sorta exotic.
Remember Tom Cruise goin’ crazy on Oprah’s couch?
Kyle says
July 3rd, 2008 at 3:17 pmomg, lol on the jelly. um i’m in love with christian bale also, how could you not be? his body is smokin’ too. do you remember when he was in little women? i was so in love with him when I was like 10.
also, this may not seem very nice, but i think maggie g is totally fug. (I also thought katie holmes was a bad casting choice. tho she and katie holmes share the same old lady jowls.) I liked her in that will ferrell movie but i find her not so pretty.

OMG, he was in that movie! Yeah, seriously, if I ever got to meet him in person I’d probably be rendered speechless. *SWOON*
Marisol says
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:54 pmI totally LOL when I read “I dont think you are ready for this jelly”. You are too much!
Why do you think they changed it from Katie Holmes to Maggie? I thought she did a decent job in the movie.

July 3rd, 2008 at 10:39 pmKaren – your quotes are freakin’ hilarious! I was just stressed out over a call with my mom and when I read your blog, I busted a gut. Thank you for relieving my stress. Your quotes crack me up…I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly!! ROTFL.
Karen says
July 6th, 2008 at 8:34 pmHi Marisol,
LOL, thanks. 🙂
I dunno! Maybe Tom feels like he must keep Katie away from too much sexy hotness?
Karen says
July 6th, 2008 at 8:35 pmHi Mariah,
Aww, your bf has good taste. I think both she and Jakey-poo are quite the hotness. They’ve got some good genes in that family!
Karen says
July 6th, 2008 at 8:35 pmHi Shefali,
I’m glad I could bring a smile to your face. Hope things are okay with you and your mom…
Have a great week!
