La Belle et La bête-Jean Cocteau
In his own eyes, Jean Cocteau was not a filmmaker.
Of course, he was a filmmaker as well as a dramatist, novelist, poet, painter, decorator, boxing promoter, essayist, librettist, journalist, and full-time celebrity.
His three great films of the fantastic – Le Sang d'un poète,
La Belle et la Bête and Orphée – remain central to his visual legacy,
yet Cocteau always insisted that in the field of film he was an amateur.
In 1946, at the age of 57, Cocteau directed his first narrative feature
La Belle et la Bête is based on the famous children's story by Madame Leprince de Beaumont. In it, Cocteau combined mythical narrative, visual poetry, cinematic trickery.
For example, when Belle first walks through the main hall of Bête's castle,
the film cuts to close-ups of candelabras lighting themselves as she walks past.
Cocteau's use of reverse motion serves the contextual purpose
of emphasising the magical atmosphere of Bête's castle.

Bebaroque tights perfect for this winter
The wonderful hosiery label Bebaroque, which started in July 2007 by Mhairi McNicol and Chloe Patience.
Both girls attended Glasgow School of Art in 2005 before going their seperate ways,
only to join together to create these fabulous tights.
The tights are designed and manufactured in Scotland using hand embroidery and print.
When i was looking around the Bebaroque website,
i found another very sexy tight:
Brassy, they have a good rock'and roll style.
I want to order one of them for this winter
but I didn't made my mind yet,
Choose your favorite one ?
Wanda Jackson: a sweet lady with a nasty voice.
Yes, i definitively love Ladies with nasty voices, like Brenda Lee and the fabulous Rockabilly girls from the 40's -50's.
I discovered recently the songs of Wanda Jackson.
I hope you will enjoy her too.
Jackson was just 16 when country star Hank Thompson took her under his wing after hearing her on an Oklahoma radio station. Her single "You Can't Have My Love," a duet with bandleader Billy Gray, became a national hit while Jackson was still in high school. In 1955 Jackson hit the road as the opening act for Elvis Presley, just months before Elvis' career exploded. The two hit it off, dating for nearly a year. Elvis gave Jackson his ring. He also encouraged her to stretch out beyond country by singing rockabilly.
"My dad always told me, 'If you're going to do something, be different at it,'" says Wanda Jackson, 'stand out in some way, do a little bit more.'" Jackson took her dad's advice. In the mid-1950s, at the dawn of the rock 'n' roll era, she became one of the fledgling genre's first female stars, an energetic 18-year-old rockabilly queen who dated Elvis, made frequent stabs at the Top 40 and tore through the music industry like a Midwestern tornado.

The Art of strip: EVELYN WEST
Evelyn West (1921- 2004)"The Hubba-Hubba Girl" was a burlesque legend
of the forties, fifties, and sixties. She would often quip to her audience
She became famous because of her spicy and shameless striptease shows
and also because she insured her natural breasts with Lloyd's of London for $50.000.
Since that moment she was known as "Evelyn $50.000 Treasure Chest West"
or "The Girl with the $50.000 Treasure Chest".
