BORN INTO BROTHELS

The weekend is upon us which can only mean that one of these evenings may end up being a movie night.  May I suggest Born into Brothels an Academy Award winning documentary?  It has everything you would want in a movie-love, drama, laughter, action, hope and visual stimulation.  The doc is based on photographer Zana Briski’s work teaching photography to children in Calcutta’s Red light district following some of her most unforgettable students.  If this film doesn’t get you inspired to take some photo’s I don’t know what could. If it didn’t already win the most prestigious award in film I would have voted it into my ‘Miss B’s Documentary Top 20 Hall of Fame’ (another prestigious honor).

EMMANUELLE ALT

When I think chic + sexy, I almost invariably think of French women.  Their style is so effortless and even the most casual woman looks pulled together.  Emmanuelle Alt, the Vogue Paris Editor-in-chief has put a little more effort into her look but still seems to exude, “Oh this old thing?”, make-up less, with unstyled hair she is sexier than a bevy of Pamela Anderson type bunnies. Ah, it must be nice to be a French woman.
