GW: Life is over...

Not only the lives of the four girls has ended abruptly, but also the life of Craig. Like the judge said: “you will have to bear responsibility for that for the rest of your life and that is a terrible burden." Although Craig claimed he did not drive reckless, I do not really believe him. I have seen many young boys driving like a madman. Especially to impress girls. The faster, the better. Who do a lot of people always want to prove themselves to show the world how tough they are? Back on topic. I also feel sorry for him, because he carries this horrible act with him for the rest of his life. I hope he is strong enough to deal with it.

Batsy is coming to the UK!


Batman is coming to Bedfordshire. In the summer of 2008, the new Batman movie 'The Dark Knight' is hitting theatres worldwide. Director Christopher Nolan is not only shooting his picture in Chicago, but also in Bedfordshire, at the Carrington air ship sheds. It will use for a chase with the famous Bat mobile. The most recent Batman Movie ‘Batman Begins’ was also partly shot at Carrington. Christian Bale will put on the Batman suit, while Heath Ledger is playing the most famous villain in the rich Batman mythology, The Joker. Other actors starring in the new movie are Michael Cane as Alfred Pennyworth, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Gary Oldman as Lt. James Gordon, and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent, who will eventually become the villain Two Face.

GW: HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

The most anticipated movie in 2008! Yes! Yes! Yes! I was thrilled when I saw ‘Batman Begins’! Finally, a Batman movie that shows how Batman is supposed to be: a dark, Bruce Wayne, filled with anger, who wants to avenge his parents' death by protecting the innocent citizens of Gotham City against bad guys. The first two Batman movies, by Tim Burton, were ok, but the other two were a disaster. If you want to watch the most perfect Batman, please watch the Animated Series, which is a brilliant cartoon with a powerful storyline. The stories of Mr. Freeze are so emotional that it really catches you by the throat. The episodes with the Joker, performed by Mark ‘Luke Skywalker’ Hamill are brilliant! He IS The Joker, no doubt about it! I am looking forward to see Heath Ledger play this psychotic maniac. The first signs (check the teaser on YouTube) are good!

Golden Brown.


Conservatives leader David Cameron is accusing Prime Minister Gordon Brown of not being fair to the English people in not calling a snap election. Cameron thinks that Brown is not holding an election because he is afraid of losing it. The Labour Party has also promised that Tony Blair would serve the full term and then would be there an election.
The Labour leader told the BBC this weekend that he wants to show Britain his vision. “To show the people the policies that are going to make a huge difference and make a change in the whole country itself.”
Housing, health and education are number one on his agenda. According to a poll published by Sunday News of the World suggests the Conservatives would lead with 6% in marginal seats, with the party overall at 44% against Labour 38%. Translated into a generic election, Labour would have 306 seats and the Conservatives 246. Another poll, carried out by the Sunday Times, suggested the Conservatives would lead with three points.

GW: Let us wait and see, shall we?

I am not sure what to think of this because I have not really paid a lot of attention to the new Prime Minister. What I do know and like is that he decided not be a puppet of the United States like the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was. I say, give this guy time to prove himself. Let us see what he has in store for us. If his plans do not work out, then an election will be an excellent way of changing the guard. However, for now, let us wait and give Mr. Brown the benefit of the doubt.

Dress to success: The Lost Collection.



Marilyn Monroe’s dresses will be on display at the Hilton Hotel in Brighton after being locked up for over forty years. When the all-time number one sexbomb died in 1962, the designer of her dresses, William Travilla, vowed to protect her memory. Therefore, he put them away in his own house. Travilla died in 1990. He left “The Lost Collection” to his partner Bill Saris who decided to show them for the first time in history (including the famous white halter-neck) to the public. His goal is to raise money for Alzheimer charities.

GW: A beautiful myth.

Hooray! Although I am not really into clothing and stuff, I think it is marvellous chance to re-remember Marilyn Monroe and to cherish the symbol and myth she has become. Would there have been a Pamela Anderson or Madonna in this world today without Marilyn (I prefer Norma Jean though)? Let’s face it: she changed the world. She was the first, perhaps even the last. I am fond of her, and I am certain of the fact that Marilyn will always be remembered.
