Vidago Palace - Episode 2
Here we go again, back at Vidago for another ride!
Carlota's already in for the run of her life, apparently, in a wedding dress and holding on to a machine gun. I'd say this was a great ending for that very special day in someone's life.
But, of course, guys, don't get carried away by the rebel bride because this is either a dream sequence or we are seeing into the future.
And we know that because, you know, filters.
Back in 'real' life, the President is opening up the brand new golf course at Vidago. Lucky for those people, he was not a round orange man.
President is rocking a fine moustache and he is very excited about ribbon-cutting. The bellboy is clearly nervous and his suit wasn't tailored to fit his sleeves properly. Shame.
Now, this is a true 'sportsman' of his age. he has his spectator shoes going on, a kakhi jacket with great pockets for your golfing supplies and a bow-tie because he is a fancy man!
The ladies did not come prepared for a round of golf. Mother-in-law is still in her 'blue-dress-with-puffy-sleeves period'. Her turban makes the ensemble pop out and we can tell she is also a fan of the cherry red manicure.
Mama, on the other hand, chose a clean look in white although she failed to hand it over to the maid, so she could iron those nasty wrinkles away.
But it's a very nice dress. The top part is somewhat reminiscing of a belle époque feel and she paired it up with a lace parasol, a black hat, with some flowers, to remind us that it is Summer, despite the grey-ish weather, and a sort of chevron patterned clutch. Mama knows her way around a closet, clearly!
Our hero and soon to be rebel-bride has, once again, received the call of minty green. The sleeves are nice, but I'm not convinced by the bust area. I don't think this one is very flattering on her. And I don't really know what is happening with the sequinned diamond. Not a fan.
What I am a fan, on the other hand, is that beautiful laced cloche hat. a very wise choice!
Douchey-groom is also stylish in his wool coat and plaid trousers. He's slacking off with the tie, though. Keep your composure, César! But, I have to say it, I am not expecting much of a guy that says he kind of likes Hitler's policies...
Papa and Father-in-law really are looking forward to swing some clubs. Papa is the epitome of elegance in his three-piece pinstripe white suit while Father-in-law is channeling that golf-course eccentricity with a bold plaid pattern, straw hat and bow-tie.
Good to see some adventurous choices on this green.
In the meantime... Yeah, still dead!
But wait!
Hero Pedro is not dead, after all! He enjoying his time reminiscing about those fine but oh so far away two weeks ago, when he swooned Carlota off her feet at the breakfast table, by bringing her a white lily from the place where they swam in their birthday suits. Smooth move.
At the time, Mama was wearing her weight in pearls, a dark blue blouse with some random flower print and this weird headband/veil combo. Not her greatest fashion choice. (by the way, Mama is clearly watching hero Pedro like a hawk! Momma does know best.)
Papa was the only one who was not afraid to wear the same outfit twice, as this is the exact same suit he is wearing in the golf course.
Carlota dearest was sporting a nice summery floral dress, complemented with an orange necklace and a headband.
She confronts him on the main staircase and...
Bam!! Shamelessly, this happens. Right there, on the lobby! Screw what other people think.
By the way, nice shoes, Carlota. Nude is a wise choice.
Best friend São knows something is going on and takes Carlota on a boat ride, so she can make Carlota confess who is the mysterious dude she's in love with, instead of her douchebag brother.
São scores big points again, with a bold but very right scarf choice. She chose a baggy striped dress and matching bracelets. A very relaxed but nice looking ensemble.
Carlota spills the beans and tells her best friend all about Pedro. He is not just a hotel waiter. He is an architecture student, who built a cabin in the woods as a side-project. Remarkable.
It had a floor, walls, ceiling... And fruit! And a record player! What else can a girl ask for, before getting swept off her feet?
But, let's not forget side-plots.
Pepe, the cousin, and the rebels drive to Vidago Hotel to tell Concièrge Father that Pedro, his beloved son, was killed by the Spanish Police.
But he is a wonderful professional and he is not going to lose his composure.
The spy guy happened to have a bedroom that overlooked this scene. This will not end well for the rebels on the lam.
In another sub-plot, nazi guy is still trying to make a deal of sorts with a Portuguese dude. Taylor, the Englishman, is keeping an eye on the thing as he, and every other good person on the face of this Earth, really dislikes nazis.
Nice hat, by the way. Straight from the golf course to the bar, clearly.
After learning about her dear friend's secrets, São is off to her tennis lesson.
Coach tells her she's good but, from what I just saw, I doubt that very much.
Tennis suit is lovely, by the way. I'm not sure about the practicality value VS style, though. But maybe that's the reason her game sucked.
São meets the Englishman's son, David, who is very into her, but she is fiercely independent and is not impressed.
Rosinha, hero Pedro's sister, and their Mama, just learn of his demise.
Sad times...
But, there is a ball coming up! The longest ball in the history of balls and, oh, do we have some dresses for you!
Mama is pulling all the stops on this one! Fancy headband, diamond earrings, feather fan, black silk gloves, bracelet, ruby ring and a burgundy dress with a subtle pattern and a nice string of bling along the front.
Best friend São also dared a lot, with a full polka dot look, along with black gloves and a white shrug with a big, bold flower closing the whole set.
She ditched the headbands, this time, because that would be overkill.
Carlota is smugly saying "yep, that's my dress".
But... What's this? A random boy is poking at hero Pedro and... He's alive!!
More on that later, 'cause there's a ball happening, people!
Spinster sisters and Widower are looking nice, waiting for a chance to dance.
Widower gets a dance with Mr. Cohen and things are looking up for her.
Stylish guy again. Spinster sisters find out he's a fashion designer.
How else would he be brave enough to go out wearing that?
Mother-in-law ditched the turbans for a very flashy feathery headdress. Does it come in a hat box? I'd like to know that.
Also, she did bet big on the Carmen Miranda ruffles, that's true. But, for me, the seaweed green dress with the frilly bits was a major loss. Poor life choices, Mother-in-law!
Carlota has also put all of her chips on green but, for her, this 'Atonement-green' dress was a battle won repeatedly. It was actually a massacre on the other dresses.
I love the details on the straps. It really brings out the whole thing, which would be pretty but very simple, otherwise.
We can see the open back and it still looks very elegant.
She's our hero, after all. She had to be the belle of the ball.
César drags her outside and, once again, comes on too strong. Some people never learn!
But then, out of the blue, lil' sis Rosinha shows up, flinging herself in Carlota's arms and dropping the bomb that hero Pedro is now soil fertilizer. Carlota's heart sinks and, after lil' sis disappears in the same magic dust she appeared from earlier, she runs like a maniac into the woods.
She goes out to hero Pedro's side project and...
Yep, you guessed it. He found his way in the dark and there he is, 'almost' dead, lying in the little lost cabin.
Highlights? Most definitely the gorgeous green evening dress and São's boat outfit.
