Andri to a tee! Megan Follows as Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables is pretty much exactly the way I imagine Andriona - not exactly conventionally beautiful, but pretty enough - highly intelligent, but still able to get into terrible messes - and a really good heart, although with a bit of a tendency towards the dramatic. Megan Follows is a really great character actress and the way she played Anne - from the extremes in emotion to the really sensitive stuff to the pranks, sums up how I envision Andriona.
The stage is set. Enter Martha Levinson, a character described as rich, crass and brassy.

In a shocking memoir released this weekend in America, Lucky Me: My Life With – And Without – My Mom, Sachi says that the 78-year-old actress took little interest in her life until she was 17.
"Sei grande!" "Sei tutti noi." "Madonna, quanto sei bravo!" Frasi come queste possono solleticare il tuo orgoglio, ma poi si è a casa e tutte quelle frasi ti sembrano vuote. Magari sono anche vere, ma ti sembrano rumore. E ti senti fragile. Ci si vuole sempre sentire al meglio delle proprie forze come se ogni giorno ci fosse sempre una sfida, una maratona da fare. E ti senti in procinto di spezzarti. Ma così come siamo in grado di rispondere grazie a tutti quelli che ci fanno i complimenti, riusciamo a guardare in faccia le nostre debolezze, le nostre fragilità, a guardarle e a non seppellirle? Recentemente ho scoperto che dentro un cristallo si formano arcobaleni se sono presenti delle fratture. Potete credere o no alla cristalloterapia, ma questo è un dato di fatto. E allora ho pensato "Che cosa meravigliosa." Ho pensato all'essere umano e alle fratture che portiamo. Quali incredibili arcobaleni possano nascere? E intanto... Si riesce a sostenere lo sguardo con la nostra parte debole e più fragile? Questo è quello che scritto proprio un anno fa preciso su Facebook. Capita a volte che la mia parte più fragile prorompa e credo che lo abbiate capito da alcuni miei post, anche recenti. Di certo la mia forza non sta nell'essere indistruttibile e di certo non mi autoinganno dicendomi che sono una roccia. Non è quella la mia forza. La mia vera forza sta anche nell'accogliere la fragilità, ma soprattutto di accorgermi di lei. E se la fragilità fosse come un gioiello? di Francesca Mancini Life di Makiko Wakisaka L'esaltazione dell'imperfezione. E se fosse la propria veste? Non portata come una corazza, ma come abito. Anzi, come se fosse il nostro abito migliore. Holding On By A Thread by Shirley Bodreaux, 2012 Come se indossassimo i nostri bozzoli non per nasconderci e né per attirare l'attenzione. Semplicemente, così come se fosse respirare. Questo poi inteso metaforicamente ma non sarebbe male anche nella vita vera. Comunque magari, indossando la nostra fragilità, la nostra splendida imperfezione, prima o poi, la smetteremo di vergognarci quando ci mostriamo vulnerabili. foto trovata su Pinterest
One of the most beautiful and enduring ad campaigns of all time doesn't get a lot of press because of its controversial product - real fur. But Blackglama has kept their same ad campaign and headline for over 40 years and it still works. Photographs of the world's most beautiful women - and in a few cases, men - wrapped in the world's finest black ranch mink. In this post I will share with you what I feel are the sexiest ads from the campaign, the ones that truly warrant a "legend" status, the only males in the campaign, other work inspired by the ads and some juicy trivia. But first, a little background on how the ad campaign began. In 1968, New York ad executive Jane Trahey conceived of the campaign and invented the name "Blackglama." She felt that fur wouldn't show up well in the photography so she devised a 'gimmick' - this being the association with someone very famous. The campaign was executed by her associate, Peter Rogers, who later, in 1974, bought out the firm and continued with the campaign. He also wrote the 1979 book "What Becomes A Legend Most?" about the campaign. More trivia about the campaign after the images. The following images are my personal picks for the sexiest photos since the campaign began, shown from most recent to the earliest. I have chosen portraits that exude sexiness in different ways. Some show a lot of skin, others possess a come hither look in the subject's eyes that are just as sensual. You may be thinking it's odd that I chose to include Angela Lansbury and Julie Andrews in a man's suit (a nod to her role in Victor, Victoria) or a bundled up Lauren Bacall, but one look at their expressions and you'll see that many women certainly feel sexy when wrapped in the word's finest fur. Janet Jackson, 2011: Janet Jackson, 2010: Elizabeth Hurley, 2008: Naomi Cambell, 2007: Elle Macpherson, 2005: Cindy Crawford, 2004: Gisele Bundchen, 2002: Linda Evangelista, 2001: Catherine Deneuve, 1989: Cher, 1986: Ann Margaret, 1985: Sophia Loren, 1982: Julie Andrews, 1982: Natalie Wood, 1981: Lana Turner, 1980: Angela Lansbury, 1979: Faye Dunaway, 1978: Shirley Maclaine, 1977: Liv Ullman, 1977: Raquel Welch, 1975: Bridget Bardot, 1970: Maria callas, 1970: Marlene Deitrich, 1969: Lauren Bacall, 1968: Barbra Streisand, 1968: I can't just show you the sexiest without sharing with you some portraits of those who truly warrant the "legend" status. Ten who truly warrant Legend status: Lillian Gish, Gloria Swanson, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Judy Garland, Helen Hayes, Lucille Ball, Diana Ross, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor Trivia and tidbits about the Blackglama ad campaign: • Photographer Richard Avedon shot the campaign for the first five years. Underrated American photographer Bill King, who died of AIDS in 1987, followed Avedon. Rocco Laspata of Laspata/Decaro has been shooting the campaign since then. • With the exception of color photos in the 2004 and 2005 campaigns featuring Cindy Crawford and Elle Macpherson respectively, the portraits were always shot in black and white. •Although the typeface has changed twice since the campaign's inception (first Cooper Black condensed, then Bodoni Condensed, and finally Optima) the ads have always had the same headline "What becomes a Legend most?*" • *Originally, the line was typeset with an initial cap on the words "what" and "legend" only, when the typeface was changed from the original, the headline was set with all initial caps. • From 2001 through 2009, the campaign featured supermodels (Linda Evangelista, Gisele Bündchen, Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Naomi Campbell and Elizabeth Hurley) as opposed to screen and entertainment legends. This is also the year that more than one ad was shot for the campaign so as to show more available products from the brand. • As of 1980, the models were never paid nor did their names appear on the ads, but they each received a coat of their choice. I do not know if this is still the case. • Actress Claudette Colbert appeared in the campaign twice, once in 1971 and again in 1989: •Liza Minelli, Lillian Hellman and Bette Davis all posed with lit cigarettes: • Janet Jackson is the only model to be featured in the campaign for two consecutive years in a row (2010 and 2011). • Andy Warhol was so fond of the Judy Garland ad in the campaign that he turned it into one of famous colored silkscreens: • Carol Burnett was the only one to turn down a coat and instead asked for the money to be donated to charity: • The only men to ever pose for the campaign were Ray Charles, Tommy Tune, Luciano Pavorotti and Rudolf Nureyev. Frank Sinatra bowed out at the last minute. • Dolly Parton, Katharine Hepburn and Jackie Onassis turned down repeated offers to star in the campaign. • In 1984 Joan Rivers released a comedy album on whose cover she posed as a Blackglama ad with the line altered to read "What Becomes a Semi-Legend Most?: • PETA created their own mock version (below) of the ad campaign with Amy Sedaris in protest: • Artist Mark Verabioff's “The Blackglama Insurgents” 2005, included 18 page tears from the campaign marked with masculine gestures in spray paint referencing male sexual pleasure and violence: "All legends share a timelessness, a glamour, an endurance that goes beyond what’s currently or merely in vogue." -- Peter Rogers You can see a gallery of all 108 legends here at Blackglama. information sources: Blackglama.com, People Magazine article from 1979 and the 1979 book Blackglama: What Becomes A Legend Most (now out of print)
