At his interview, Ben reveals he used to work for a phone book company. And for his first day at work, Mr. Whittaker tries to dress impeccable. To begin with his work, he is informed by Jules's assistant Becky (Christina Scherer) that he has a meeting with her at exactly 3:55 pm, and he should be prompt because there's another meeting at 4:00 pm. Becky also tells him to talk fast and blink a lot, because her boss is disturbed by people who do not. In the meeting, Jules informs him that she will not have much for him to do. However, she will email him if something comes up. 

During all the movie, Ben begins a relationship with the company massagist Fiona Farwell (Rene Russo), who appears massaging his back, making him more calm... It's evident that he is very attracted to her. But also Ben is committed to Jules, and even breaks into her mother's house to delete an embarrassing e-mail and avoiding to get arrested (for me that's the funniest part of this movie!!!)

Robert de Niro and Rene Russo: between excitement and laughs!

Unfortunately, Jules is under pressure to give up her work, because the investors feel that she is unable to cope with the workload, and she believes she'll have more time at home with her family. When driving Paige home from a party, Ben discovers that Matt is having an affair with another parent at Paige's school. While on a business trip in San Francisco to interview a potential CEO candidate, Jules reveals that she knows about Matt's cheating, but did not confront Matt about it because she was not ready to deal with it.

The ending of the movie is when Jules tries to hire a CEO to save her marriage with Matt (Anders Holm). And even Ben ending happily together with Fiona, he supports Jules in her dreams. 

Rene Russo soooo beautiful as Fiona Farwell.

Rene Russo's Fashion Lookbook: We Wear Sunglasses At Night!

One of my favorite pics of Rene... the men go after her if Ms. Russo wears those sunglasses.
(Photo - Time & Life Pictures)

Sunglasses are once used as sun-shielding properties and nowadays, are also used as a fashion status. Why this reason? Because everyone can take these eyewear to many places, from the beach to the nightclubs!

Talking about Ms. Rene Russo... she puts on the sunglasses, the people go and ask to themselves when she turns around the corner: "Who's that beautiful lady??? (...) That woman's sooooo beautiful!". 

So, here are some cool ideas for the girls and women to inspire like Rene !  

Rene Russo sexy and stylish with butterfly-shaped sunglasses: so beautiful!
(photo - David Aguilera)

Butterfly-shaped sunglasses:
Large and in charge! This unique, butterfly-inspired shape is generally oversized and covers much of the face. The generous sizing also provides great coverage against the sun. Like in this picture above of Rene in Beverly Hills with the hair in the wind... so beautiful <3 <3 

Rene so HOT and BEAUTIFUL in Wayfarer Ray-Ban sunglasses.... one of my favorites!
(photo- Archive photos)

Wayfarer sunglasses:
This versatile, timeless style features a signature thick frame and trapezoidal shape, and fits most face shapes and outfits. It's one of the most popular sunglasses between most people... Rene (and I) love these Wayfarer sunglasses!!! 

Rene in beautiful rectangular-shaped sunglasses! loved it !

Rectangular sunglasses:
Think wide, rectangular lenses, some with angular corners, others with more rounded edges. If the frame of the lens is wider than it is tall, it’s probably a rectangle. Ms. Rene Russo used mostly in Thomas Crown Affair and Two for the Money era.

Rene Russo in the movie In the Line Of Fire: semi-rimeless sunglasses, in the 90s.

Semi-rimeless sunglasses:
This half-framed style, also known as clubman or browline, features a frame edge on top, with no frame at the bottom. Not only men use this type of sunglasses, women too, like Rene. This lovely lady used these sunglasses specially on the movies Lethal Weapon 3 and In The Line of Fire. Even the movies are set in the 90's, she looked perfect in it.

Rene Russo Fanpage Presents: Rose Gilroy Special - Like Mother, Like Daughter!

Rene Russo and Rose Gilroy: inherited beauty.
(photo credits - Gabriel Bouys)

Rose Jean Gilroy was born in August 31, 1993, in Los Angeles, California. She is the result of the inherited (and infinite) beauty of Rene Russo and the inherited talent of both Dan Gilroy and Ms. Rene Russo. Two years ago, Ms. Gilroy became a very gifted and attractive model. And she appeared in diverse fashion campaigns and runway shows, from Dolce & Gabbana and Tory Burch to Salvatore Ferragamo (how chic!)

Rose Gilroy in action in the streets of New York: elegance and sexiness.

Rose is even a city girl or a beach girl... When we describe Ms. Gilroy as "the city girl", I imagine her in New York City (like in this pic above), Milan or Paris; when we describe her as "the beach girl", I imagine her mainly in California beaches. According to Rose to Tory Burch site: "There are so many beautiful beaches across the California coast. One of my favorite summer getaways is Big Sur. The drive there from L.A. has stunning ocean views and it’s such a nice break from the city.". Great recommendation, Rose!

Rose in a Salvatore Ferragamo fashion campaign ... BEAUTIFUL !
(photo - Ungano & Agriodimas)

One of my favorite Rose Gilroy's fashion campaigns is obviously Salvatore Ferragamo, in 2016. In my opinion, she shows her elegance just like mom in the 70s and 80s, despite her age. And a beautiful detail: it has a portrait of Rose, like a child, along with her mom Rene, truly proving that beauty and cuteness is in the Russo-Gilroy family. 

Like Ms. Rene Russo, Rose Gilroy has sensuality in her DNA, besides her young age.
(photo - Ungano & Agriodimas)

A good piece of advice from Ms. Rene to the lovely Rose:

"My mom always says that to look good you have to feel confident in what you’re wearing. She taught me to stay true to myself and wear what I feel most comfortable in. Part of having great style is allowing your personality to show in a way that is unique to you." 

Happy birthday to you, Rose Gilroy. Wish u all the best. 

Hope u like it.

CHARACTER IN FOCUS: Molly Griswold, "Tin Cup" (1996)

In the movie Tin Cup (1996), Dr. Molly Griswold, played by the gorgeous and lovely actress Rene Russo, was clinical psychologist with a difficult new client. She agrees to help down-on-his-luck former golf prodigy Roy McAvoy, played by Kevin Costner (great in Bull Durham, Dance with Wolves, The Bodyguard and many others) regain his confidence in exchange for golf lessons for Ms. Griswold. It’s unclear, though, whether he’s more interested in getting back on the golf course, or just for the love of the girl. But what Roy doesn't know is that Molly is David (Don Johnson)'s girlfriend. And David is Roy's longtime golf rival.

What we know about Molly... she is intelligent, outgoing and confident. She lives by the advice she gives Roy: “Just be honest and take a risk.” (Molly said that line almost on the end of the movie). Of course, she told him that to help him ask out another woman, like Doreen (Linda Hart), but she’s starting to think that Roy has the potential to make her happy – as unlikely as that seems on the surface.

And after the movie... Kevin and Rene met again in 2015, on Critics' Choice Awards, when Kevin (Costner) received the honorary prize. Ms. Russo praised him and the movie: "It was a really good movie, and he is a really good kisser... I mean, he's a really good kisser." Both of them remain friends until today.

Hope u like it.

Rene Russo Fashion Special: Rene Russo With Same Outfits in Different Occasions... But without losing the Elegance!

Rene Russo in a photoshoot: she's the lady whom everyone wants to go out with.
(photo credits - Mark Liddell / Getty Images)

Many people ask themselves... "Is it OK to wear the same outfits over and over again?" . For many, it isn't, but for Rene Russo, yes!!! This lovely woman doesn't care if she wears the same outfit, but without losing her elegance. Or style. Anyway, this style inspires lots of women (and girls too!)

Rene Russo, with same leather trousers, in two occasions, in 2003, and in 2014. Chic and beautiful ! (Photo credits: Steve Granitz and Maarten de Boer / Getty Images)

"I'm into leather trousers"

In fashion world, leather trousers advanced in the late 90's and also is fashion-forward until today. In Rene's case, it's one of her favorite pieces, and she used this type of trousers for the first time on her best movie (and on our favorite too), Thomas Crown Affair (1999). It makes her look sexy and young. Ms. Russo loves combining these leather trousers with a blouse (preference black or white), leaving the look more balanced.

"Everything White"

Beyond black and some sort of colors, Rene also love white when we talk about clothes. And as I said before in some posts, this look is one of my favorites, because it mixes simplicity, sensuality and balance (and in fashion, white means simplicity, and this look is more than that).

"One Dress, Two Companies"
Why this title? This photo explains everything, because Rene is accompanied by Jake Gyllenhaal (his fellow worker in the movie Nightcrawler) in one moment, and in another, accompanied by her daughter, Rose Gilroy (who is sooo beautiful like Ms. Russo). The dress this lovely lady is wearing is adequate even on a movie premiere or a chic dinner !!! And it fits her very well, fits her like a glove!!!

Hope u like it !
love u guys!

Running Time: 135 min.

Budget / Box Office: US$45 million / US$75,9 million (box office success).

Plot Summary: Roy McAvoy (Kevin Costner, great in The Bodyguard, Dance with Wolves, Hidden Figures and many others), known also as Tin Cup, is a failed pro golfer who lives in a driving range along with sidekick and caddy Romeo Posar (Cheech Marin) in Salome, located in West Texas. One day, a beautiful woman called Molly Griswold (Rene Russo) comes in and appears at Mr. McAvoy's driving range for golf lessons. What Roy doesn't know is that the girl he loves is David Simms (Don Johnson)' girlfriend, and Simms is McAvoy's longtime nemesis.

Falling in love for Molly, Roy decides to become her patient; in order to earn her respect, he decides to try to qualify for the US Open, after starting off as Simms' caddy "for the benefit of his experience". MacAvoy's talent proves more then adequate, but over-confident negligence of risks, while pleasing the crowds, is murder on his scores, while Simms spits on the fans, and that proves when David refuses to sign an autograph for a child... and Ms. Griswold encouraged Simms to be himself.
After a wager against David, Roy won the bet and Molly's heart too. Now, with renewed confidence, Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy, a nobody from nowhere, shocks the golf world by breaking the U.S. Open record for a single round by shooting a 62, thus making the cut. Roy's third round is also excellent and moves him into contention, but on all three rounds, he refuses to lay up on the par-5 18th hole, hitting the ball into the water hazard each time.

And on the last day, Roy, David and golf pro Peter Jacobsen are on a battle to win the US Open... and once again, after the hitting the water hazard several times, McAvoy hits the green straight to the hole. 

And after the tournament, Molly gained lots of clients and prepares a career of helping players with the mental portion of the game.... Roy and Molly end the movie together, and both share a kiss.

• This movie saved entirely Kevin Costner's acting career, after the disaster of the movie Waterworld (1995).

Rene Russo's Fashion Lookbook: Hats, Hats, Hats!!!

Rene Russo, chic and elegant, for Max Factor ad. HOW CHARMING!
(photo: Archive pictures)

When a chic woman, just like Rene Russo, wears a gorgeous hat on the catwalk/runway, she feels more attractive, sexy, elegant and avant-garde... and what about when Ms. Russo uses her hat as an everyday woman, in terms of fashion? 

Well... let's check it out,  so that you, girls, may be inspired by these ideas of hats that I'll show you.

Rene Russo in her garden, and wearing a cowboy hat... very lovely. These pics are from 2005.

Cowgirl style hat - Like in this photo above, this cowgirl hat is perfect for the summer. It's very popular in the whole world, such in United States (like in states like Texas, for example), and while wearing this type of hat, it's accompanied by jeans, leather, some impact accessories, sleeveless shirts, and mainly leather boots. It's all about "leatha", baby!!!

Gorgeous as always, Rene Russo wearing a straw hat, along with tight jeans and brown suede boots...

Straw Hat - 

Rene Russo used this type of hat before, when she was Molly Griswold in the wonderful movie Tin Cup (1996), by Ron Shelton (the movie will be my next topic on this blog!). This wonderful actress combined her hat with a white blouse and leather pants (and some pearls).
Also a great Ms. Russo moment was in 2015, in Los Angeles, California. We all loved the way she harmonizes her hat with her tight jeans, loose white shirt and brown suede boots. She looks elegant, charming and sexy! #workitgirl !

And for the winter, Rene Russo uses a black Fedora hat while carrying her Longchamp
bag in NYC streets... Great choice!! #love (photo credits: Splash News/Alarmy Stock

Fedora Hat - This hat is one my favorites among all of them. Perfect for the summer or winter, day or night. And Rene wearing this black fedora hat in New York City streets at night, it makes her a "jetsetter woman", and besides, chic and very seductive (specially many men wanna look at Ms. Russo and say, "who's that wonderful lady walking down that street?" ) .  This hat's used since the 50's (Marilyn Monroe's era) and is still fashion forward. 

Hope u like it.
