Last night, after a dinner of crispy bacon and perfectly cooked scrambled eggs, I spent the evening with Frank and Claire; re-watching House Of Cards - Season 2. I really love that show; it's so incredibly dark and complex; and kind of creepy. Is Washington DC really like that? Inquiring minds want to know...or maybe not.
Kevin Spacey is one of my favorite actors. He's not the summer blockbuster, cookie cutter, leading man kind of guy. He always puts a fascinating spin on his characters. Frank Underwood (his character in HOC) is so deliciously evil; a cold-blooded killer behind a charming facade.
And Robin Wright's Claire...yikes! She is so good! She plays the serene, sophisticated, control freak to a tee. Claire is my idol...from a fashion standpoint. Her understated, super-tailored wardrobe is awesome. That kind of chic takes money, and lots of it; and it takes discipline. Claire never wears florals and small prints; and she probably never buys anything compulsively; or on sale. She is clearly a planner when it comes to her clothing.
Frank and Claire are best friends and allies. Yeah, they're probably afraid not to be. And they smoke! Who smokes on TV anymore? But they always sit near a window, so they don't stink up the townhouse...
