I really love that pic of Michelle with those vinyl records.

carrie.suze

Yeah, me too, she looks really happy among the vinyl, and I like that fringe dress from M&S, one of my favourite stores for shopping in.

L i N d $ @ y

I love M&S too. They have everything now especially during the Christmas season.

New thread soon! I have to think of a thread title unless you have a suggestion?

Aside from the clothes, their party food is very good too.

I had a thought about another famous Mary..... Mary Poppins, 'Practically Perfect in Every Way,' for our Mary the thread could be, 'Almost Perfect In Every Way.'

Or if one of her quotes is better, I like this one.....

“I can scramble eggs. That’s about it."

L i N d $ @ y

Oh I like both but prefer the second one because it's funny!

carrie.suze

Yeah, she should do funny lines more often. and I liked that whole scene with Charles in the kitchen, she really let loose in that episode.

I also LOL'd when she said in the S5 premiere: "Edith decided to set fire to her own room."

Michelle is a beautiful young lady!
She's so great at playing Mary, so refined and collected, keeps her poise most of the time..
It was so cute when she and Blake were sitting in the mud after watering the pigs. He throws mud, she returns it...he says something and the ever refined composed Mary throws back her head and shows off the biggest grin I've ever seen her do on the show in a genuine gut busting laugh.
It was cute! She's got a great smile!
(and it's probably one of the reasons I prefer Blake for Mary--he's not just a stuffed shirt and she was comfortable in dropping the whole 'must be refined and regal at all times' shtick.)

L i N d $ @ y

Yeah, props to Michelle for portraying her. She knows that her character has flaws and yet she also brings out the best and the worse of the character on-screen. Love it.

Mary's one of those characters we all can relate to--keeping your emotions in check, keep everyone at arm's length, listening to the wrong advice and making bad decisions, and falling hopelessly in love.

Sometimes she does and says mean things, I either want to laugh out loud and be that mean girl best friend or wring her neck. Can't decide. LOL

I can't think of anyone that could have played Mary better than Michelle.

carrie.suze

yeah, whether it's Blake or another guy, I'd like to see her end up with someone who isn't a stuffed shirt, that's why Matthew was so good for her.

The pig scene was unexpected and all the more funny for it, I love seeing Mary when she isn't so refined and composed.

That lovely photo session of Michelle, has appeared in HQ here.......Session 11 - Michelle Dockery Source Photo Gallery
