Happy Birthday, Queen Elizabeth.
As the Queen celebrated her 18th birthday, the young beauty graced the April 24, 1944 cover of LIFE Magazine.
See LIFE’s book on the Royal Family here.
Congratulations on the Queen’s 60th year of reign.
Frida by Julie Taymor (2002)
Frida Kahlo portrayed by Salma Hayek. Good choice. I’ve been watching a load of biopics lately.
‘Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus’ by Steven Shainberg (2006)
Nicole Kidman portray’s Diane Arbus, a photographer I have grown to love even more. I liked it.

FREE at last
The infinite intensity of grammar I have put myself through has paid off because…
the French exam today went swimmingly well, and as a treat I got a half price caramel frapp! So glad all my exams are over.
now I am free to sleep, read, eat and swim.
WOOO!!!

‘L’été meurtrier’ (One Deadly Summer) by Jean Becker (1983)
Tonight’s choice, Isabelle Adjani and Alain Souchon are Elle and Pin-Pon; spine-chilling brilliance. This is one of the first French films I had ever watched.

‘Mona Lisa Smile’ by Mike Newell (2003)
now for some feminist goodness. I’m tired. Too tired to watch something too complex. I should be revising and I will…later. I like this film, the cast kills me.

forget nudist beaches, just go to the swimming pool changing rooms, where people are proud of their rolls and stretch marks.
Women’s only swimming session was one of the most surreal things I have experienced in the last couple of weeks.
‘Volver’ by Pedro Almodóvar (2006)
From the director who creates some of my favourite films (Talk to Her/The Skin I Live In), ordering Volver on DVD is a cause for celebration. I love the mother- daughter relationships portrayed throughout. I love the lighting/colour scheme (DP). I love the story line. I love Penelope Cruz. I love the spanish language. Overall I really love this film. Peace x
Both English exams this week are over and out. I wouldn’t say they went amazingly well, but I’m not expecting anything lower than a ‘C’ grade which is all I can really ask for. Look at what was waiting for me when I got home this afternoon! It’ll really help with my hardcore French grammar revision I’m going to do all next week.
