Tamara Drewe

Set in a tiny village in Dorset, England where the only thing worth mentioning is the success of a novelist who cheats on his life who owns their farm. What good can come of that, you may think. Well, everything seems to stay like that - including cuddling cows and fruit-eating writers. Till one day Tamara Drewe shows up in her hometown.

Tamara Drewe (Gemma Arteron, known as the bond girl in Quantum of Solace) is a young journalist with legs that don't seem to end, a corrected nose, a desire to become famous and a talent to break hearts. Her return to the peaceful country village where her mother used to live, has a shock to the inhabitants as a result. The succesful novelist, a frustated old student, a rockstar, a village boy (with a damn attractive body), everyone falls for her.

Everyone has a secret crush on everyone, from fifteen year old girls to fifty year old men. Right, that suggests a wrong idea, but there not falling for each other, don't worry. Anyway, this movie is phenomenal, it's based on a graphic and it's very hilarious. The role of the two fifteen year old girls is the most comical, you have to see it to understand what I'm talking about. The casting of the rockstar (Dominic Cooper, you might known him of Mamma Mia) is quite strange, I didn't think the part really fit him.

As with almost every movie I love, the ending is a big surprise and it makes you like the movie even more. Some producers already have trouble with a regular book, a graphic novel seems to cost a whole lot more, but this producer has completed his mission. Tamara Drewe is absurd, crazy but very winsome.

I'M IN!


Today we heard there were 75 students who wanted to go to New York, so who actually filled in their application forms. 30 students were allowed to go, otherwise the group would be too big. I had almost given the hope up already, cause that would've meant a chanche of less than 50%.
And then I received an e-mail.

You're one of the lucky ones! You're in!

OMG, I was so happy, you have no idea..

New York, here we come!!

Gypsy Chic








Funny how it went from hippie chic to bohemian chic to shabby chic to gypsy chic. Don't mind, we know what they mean.

My invitation, sweet sensation, inspiration



Like a Gypsy

Spinning thoughts circling through my mind
The world is described as beautiful and pure
And yet there’s so much I still have to find
Several things left unsure

Inspiration is what leads the way
Through this circling tornado of feelings
One quick thought and nothing more to say
I have to go, farewell to the ceilings

Eventually, one must stand on her own
Like a gypsy, I’ll take the step and flow
She comes and goes, like a rolling stone
After the silence comes a drastic row

Sweet soul music is all that I hear
All of a sudden it becomes clear
Take the step and have no fear
Goodbye my darling, goodbye my dear

Written by me.
