Oh Well, Post #13
I just realized that I haven't posted here for a couple of weeks. Work and then tiredness, la la la.
So much for planning to post more!
Anyway, here's a fun link -- Emma Thompson's 2021 profile in British Vogue. La Thompson is brilliant as usual, and I love this story:
She tells a story from her months filming Cruella in London, where, having been “heaved” into an elaborate creation by costume designer Jenny Beavan and done up to the nines at the film’s base in a South Bank car park, she had to get to a location across the river. “There was a demonstration and we got stuck,” she says. “The worst thing you can do on a film set is be late, so I said, ‘We’ll get out and go by Tube. It’s fine. It’s Sunday morning, it’s 9am.’” She quivers. “It was rammed. I was on the Tube in a dressing gown, Ugg slippers, a wig 3ft high, eyelashes out to here. And do you know what? Everyone completely ignored me. They just thought I was a drag act on my way home after the last performance.” She pauses wistfully. “I love London.”
Otherwise, I am planning next week's "staycation." I am currently contemplating a program of reading, writing, knitting, Pilates, walking Miss Adventure, and an art-museum visit. Oh, and because I am fully vaccinated and I need one desperately, a massage.
I'm super exciting, huh.
Anyway, hugs to all and a great weekend ahead.
