Paint Potential

Yeah, yeah...As Entertainment Weekly claimed - it's "bad in many ways, but hard to hate". I personally enjoyed Mamma Mia! It was the last movie I saw in Lexington before our move, and Angela and I watched it together at the Kentucky Theatre. The scenery was gorgeous, and I love the interior colors. I am adding the wall color below to my paint potentials. Love it!

Born Into Brothels

Since our 4-year-old goes to bed around 8 o'clock, we're a little bit limited on our weekend entertainment options. We usually end up watching movies - or playing a little backgammon together. This past Friday, we flipped through "On Demand" for free movies, and found Born Into Brothels. My dear friend Sara is very interested in the sex trafficking issues in India, and actually spent several months there doing some mission work, and Randy and I were intrigued by the movie description. I was a little uneasy about the title, and wondered if it was going to be overly graphic.

We watched the entire documentary, and didn't have any regrets! Well, I guess we had one. We regretted the fact that we couldn't adopt all the children in the movie. It was a wonderful story about a photographer who decided to spend some time in a brothel, and taught the children living there how to use a camera. She sent them out to photograph the world from their perspective, and attempted to get them into schools and a better way of life. We just fell in love with the kids, and their photos were pretty amazing as well! You can purchase their work at http://www.kids-with-cameras.org/ to help support their education.







If you haven't seen the movie, I should warn you that it was pretty heart wrenching. It's just unbelievable how some of the mothers treat the children. I would love to hear your thoughts on the movie if you've seen it already - or once you do!

Chocolat

As I mentioned before, we went to the Chocolate Cafe for dessert this weekend, and I was reminded of the movie Chocolat. I haven't seen it in forever, but I remember it as being slightly odd, and delightful at the same time. How did you feel about it?

New York Times

If I could choose to be an actress in any movie, I think it would have to be Marie Antoinette. I love the gorgeous costumes, scenery, the palace, and once again - the sweets. I must admit that I watched it three times within the last week, while matting art projects for Kalia's preschool. I just get lost in all the beauty, and find myself wishing that women still wore amazing dresses on a daily basis. If you could be an actress in any movie, which one would you choose?
