Hmmmn.<\/p>\n
Am I just imagining things, or…<\/p>\n
Does Lily Collins take inspiration from Mabel Collins?<\/p>\n
Ummm… ok, here’s my… thoughts, on this. <\/p>\n
I knew of Mabel decades ago since I’m me, lol. I mean, Blavatsky, and all that. And I devoured Blavatsky’s occult stuff of course, or at least her most important stuff (you know, the stuff I could find online at the time, lol), but never got around to Mabel’s books, since all I heard about it is that it probably wasn’t hardcore enough for a literal raiser of the dead, lol.<\/p>\n
But… I got to thinking. Lily joked offhandedly in one of her youtube interviews about the Collins “clan”. It was in that video with Nicholas Hoult where they talk about google questions; it’s easy to find. But anyways it was a throwaway comment that I’m sure didn’t mean much to her or anyone else who has ever watched the video but me.<\/p>\n
So… “clan”? Who?<\/p>\n
Mabel? I mean, they do <\/em>look similar, Lily and her. The eyebrows, and all that, and the waifish stature, and the Anglo features. And… maybe… <\/p>\n So I’ve been reading some of Mabel’s stuff, finally. Thank you internet archive, lol. And yeah, wow. It seems that the similarities between them do not end with the eyebrows, lol. I’ve not read The Prettiest Woman in Warsaw<\/em> yet, but might that possibly be the inspiration behind Emily in Paris<\/em>? And is it just me or does Lily’s Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me <\/em>read like a modernized version of Mabel’s The Confessions of a Woman<\/em>? That comment on page 13 of Mabel’s book… “I was indeed as lovely as a lily.”?<\/p>\n Lily? Wut?<\/p>\n And come to think of it, does Lily’s foot tattoo- you know, the one you can see on the cover of her book- not resemble the flower drawing on the cover of Mabel’s book?<\/p>\n So… am I reading too much into this? Or not enough? What do you all think? Lily- do you have something to say, here?<\/p>\n Hmmn. Weird, regardless.<\/p>\n It really is a small world, isn’t it?<\/p>\n And in my case, it seems extremely small indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hmmmn.
