Audrey Tatou :)

Audrey Tatou is pretty much one of my favourite actresses ever (I'm sure one of my close friends Elinor agrees!!). After seeing her in a magazine, I immediately ran down, and around, to my local hairdressers, saying, "Can you make me look like her?!". Maybe this is due to the fact that she is amazingly pretty, has great hair and a perfect complexion - not much to ask fairy godmother. While she is still un-phased next to her other co-stars and celebrities who all pretty much tower above her 5ft frame. She is know worldwide for her work in films such as Amelie, The Da Vinci Code, Priceless and Coco Before Chanel. However, despite working in international films, she still is very much a French actress, saying the following, "I am, at the end of the day, a French actress. I am not saying I will never shoot an English-language movie again, but my home, my community, my career is rooted in France".

Show Choirs?

So, I was watching a programme on channel 4 this week called 'Gleeful' - about the real show choirs of America - where kids in America spend nearly 18 hours a week dancing, singing and acting in groups like those in Glee and High School Musical. I thought, originally, that the craze of films based on these topics were completely made up - with people managing to jump into the same song at exactly the same moment, but it can actually happen! Not only has Glee become a tv phenomenom but it also has rocked the pop chart and the broadway routes in America - but why have these show choirs suddenly become an international 'thing'. Show choirs have had teenagers singing and dancing and acting out mini broadway shows for years and have helped many celebrities to understand vocals and acting - creating stepping stones for them. Show choirs are even in the American curriculum! If your someone that finds Wikipedia's definitions helpful - here is one...A show choir (originally called 'swing choir') is a group of people who combine choral singing with dance. Personally I think that they would be fun - as extra curricular though because I don't think that everyone would appreciate the introduction of show choirs as an actual topic - nevertheless, new things can be better than you ever expected....can't they? If you want to enjoy a bit of 'real' Glee and maybe learn a bit more about the craze that is show choirs then go on the channel 4 website by following this link: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/gleeful-the-real-show-choirs-of-america/4od

All singing...

All dancing...

(even costumed) Show Choirs!

Toothpaste :D

Guess what I found in my bathroom today?! A new tube of TOOTHPASTE!! You know the annoying feeling when its like 10:00 and your trying to do your teeth but you can't.....because the toothpaste tube is nearly empty. And it takes a lot of energy to get it out. Thankfully, however, my trials and struggles with the stupid tube were saved with the arrival of a brand new shiny tube - thanks mum :) I mean why do they make tubes, why not......pots?

Julia Sheer and Tyler Ward. I love them.

Well, this duo is my present music addiction and prevented the swift writing of my English coursework! She's 18 and has a fab voice, while he's a full time music producer in Denver. They seem to loooove Taylor Swift and have done quite a few of her songs, but also copy a heap of others (including Tik Tok, Airplanes, California Gurls). You may find them a bit, well cheesy but their voices and his guitar playing make for very good coursework listening - that's what I think :). He's got a few albums on itunes and has co-written a few songs. Check them out and tell me what you think; http://www.youtube.com/user/JuliaSheer#p/u/8/idnvgIRdYhc
