Fabulously Wicked!

Defying gravity is right! I may make green and pointy hat my look too. Could have problem painting myself green though...

I shall now reread Gregory Mcquire's original novel that started the wicked thoughts.

The wonderful, wonderful wicked of Oz. I love Elphaba!

Paper Clips

“It began as a lesson about prejudice…what happened next was a miracle.”

This movie chronicled a unique class project by students in a US middle school in Whitwell. Brought up in a fundamentalist Christian environment, most of the students had never encountered a member of the Jewish faith.

In a lesson to teach tolerance, educators at the school led the students to honor Holocaust victims by starting out to collect 6 million paperclips - each individual paperclip representing each life that perished in the Holocaust. As news of their endeavor spread, the school received responses and contributions from all over the world, culmilating in a collection of over 20 million paperclips.

Eventually, through the help of kind donors and sponsors, the school received an authentic German rail car (once used to transport actual victims by the Nazis) which would become a memorial displaying the millions of paper clips collected.

By George! They Are Winners!

His majesty met the Swan Queen!

He found his voice - she discovered her dark side

He has you hanging on his every word - she has you gripped by her every move
He has the best of friend - she discovered the worst of enemy
In the end, he took the throne - she took a swan dive.

By (King) George, they were both totally mesmerizing. True winners turning in royal performances as the king and queen of cinematic magic.
