Audrey Hepburn is (one of) my idol(s)

I wish I were Audrey Hepburn. Or at least one the characters she played. I’m spending my spare time tackling tedious university assessment, but I’d much rather be taking cooking classes in Paris, or riding around Rome on a Vespa or eating a croissant whilst gazing in the windows at Tiffany’s.

But I’m far from Paris and Rome, I’ve never even seen a Vespa and you won’t find me outside Tiffany’s at sunrise in an evening gown.
I’m planning a trip to Europe at the end of the year, but my experiences will be have a lot less elegance and a lot more backpacker’s hostels.

I know that I could never be as sophisticated as a character in an Audrey movie, but I have to remind myself that maybe I wouldn’t want to be. For though I like to dress up and look elegant, love all things French and would love to have some diamonds to call my own, that’s only a small part of me.

I also love going to rodeos and B’n’S balls. I love going out in the city and then lying on the oval under the stars with friends afterwards. I love curling up in bed with trashy novels and watching movies that insult my intellect. I love going ice-skating and then laughing after I fall over in some bizarre manner. I love spinning around barefoot in the rain whilst my sister tells me that I look like an idiot.

Audrey's characters knew how to have fun. Well, so do I. Maybe I'll settle for that.
