I have always loved painting and am mostly self-taught. It is only since I retired that I have been attending various art classes and workshops.
I do pet portraits in pastel, flowers and landscapes in oils and watercolours.
I work as an Intensive Care Nurse and initially started painting as hobby, but has developed over the years. I have been selling my work in exhibitions and galleries and undertaking commission work. I specialise mainly in animal portraiture but also enjoy experimenting and doing a variety of subjects. If you would like to see more of my work please see my website www.ruthaslettart.co.uk
Bel's aim is to create strong imagery, inspired by life and the imagination, using a wide range of experimentation in different media.
After completing her degree in Art and Design at Hertfordshire University in 2000 she continued her studies and obtained the University Certificate in Art Therapies. After leaving university she held her first solo exhibition at the Apthorp Gallery in Radlett and has also participated in many local exhibitions. Bel has also exhibited in the Mall Galleries in London.
In the past few years she has been the Programme and Publicity Secretary and now the Newsletter Editor for the Harpenden Arts Club.
Brought up locally in Swanbourne, Katy studied at St Martins and the Slade to gain a masters in fine art and later a PGCE in teaching Secondary School Art. Katy paints with a group regularly at The Queens Park Centre, in Aylesbury, where she had a sell-out show last year. She takes commissions for painting people's homes, pets and favourite views. Much of Katy's recent work resonates with the time she has spent on the Devon coast, painting boats, the estuary at Noss Mayo and the rugged coastline. Her technique is a loose touch using acrylic (for ease) to give bright brushstrokes to conjure up the movement and energy in a view.

My childhood love of nature resulted in a desire to record the natural world and I have now been photographing wildlife for nearly forty years. I have won many awards and competitions in this time, including the Kodak Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. I particularly enjoy capturing animal behaviour and activity. These images are available as canvas wraps, fine art prints and greeting cards. I have been a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society for a number of years.

I am a Textile Artist who creates unique handmade treasures using natural materials, dyes and traditional skills. My work includes textile, printed and ink landscapes together with contact-printed and naturally-dyed gifts. My inspiration comes from the natural world: in particular, I love to explore the textures; forms and colours contained within the countryside.
Irina Bradley is an artist working in the ancient Byzantine egg tempera technique, using 23 1/2 carat genuine gold leaf and natural earth and mineral pigments. Irina loves the translucency of paintings produced in this technique and the vibrancy of colours achieved through the use of mineral pigments. Irina studied icon painting in Moscow and then continued her studies at the Prince's School of Traditional Arts in London, where she was awarded a PhD in 2015 for her thesis on Spiritual Striving in Icon Painting and a series of paintings which included both icons and modern art. Irina teaches icon painting to MA level at the Prince's School as a visiting tutor, as well as offering icon courses for general public there and in other locations. She has taken part in numerous exhibitions. Irina's first solo exhibition was at Cumberland Lodge, the former royal residency at Great Windsor Park. She is currently working towards her second solo exhibition at Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford which will take place in 2017. Irina's work is worldwide, in this country her icons can be seen at St Catherine's Chapel inside the Cumberland Lodge, St Paul's Theological Centre in London, St Bartholomew the Great in the City of London, St Gabriel's in London and several private chapels. Irina also lectures on icons, past venues have included Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford, Oxford University, Villa Empain in Brussels, the Prince's School of Traditional Arts in London, Themenos Academy in London and the V&A, where her work was also presented.
My history begins with a college background in technical drawing and architecture. Totally self-taught, I used to be predominantly, a portrait artist, making the finals of the BP Portrait awards, and have done sittings for Dame Vera Lynn and Lord Bath, to name a few. My focus has since switched to impressionist landscape. I now spend less time on commissions and more on what I actually want to paint.

I am passionate about colour and its combinations and take my inspiration from natural landscapes, and the impact of time and the weather. The way light plays on everything in its wake is a particular wonder. Walking 500 miles across France and Northern Spain on the Camino de Santiago de Compostella gave me an opportunity to reflect and observe. I have now distilled some of those experiences and am gradually translating ideas, learning and experimenting with mark making while applying paint to canvas. This is my first public exhibition.

My work revisits a classic era of 1930's Railway poster design. Painted in gouache, my style has been influenced by the artists who were famous for creating the pre-war advertising posters. I particularly admire the work of
Norman Wilkinson, who I have recently discovered was an old boy of Berkhamsted School – where I work in the art department.
Inspired by colour and texture my work is very much influenced by my love of fibres and the infinite variety of colours and textures that can be achieved through felting. This fusion of wool, fibres and fabrics enables me to build up layers of textures and colour to achieve a painterly effect.
I have always been interested in religious art both historically and globally. By producing pottery angels, paintings of angels and religious icons I hope to enable the onlooker to engage in and experience something of the wonder of God and the Light of Heaven.
Isobel Cherry, Sally McIver, Candy Hackney and Bev Purdue are part of a community of Christian artists delighted to be exhibiting together on the theme Light from Heaven.
Avril has studied Chinese art for several years and enjoys creating pictures using her knowledge of Chinese painting to convey her love of nature, expressing her ideas in delicate brush strokes and techniques reflected in thousands of years of Chinese culture.
Avril lives in Bedfordshire with her husband, who is a photographer.
Time is mostly taken up with running a small family business publishing fine art greeting cards but whenever possible my interest and love of photography, a lifelong passion, comes first.
As a self taught artist I love the immediacy, vibrancy, versatility and release of creating
abstract arts that reflect my emotion, use a particular process to create or simply come from
my imagination or the attraction of a particular colour. I have also relatively recently begun to
teach myself to draw, with a particular interest in endangered and illegally trafficked wild
animals. I'm very proud to have been awarded Special Recognition on three occasions in
2016 for two of my drawings and one of my abstract paintings.
I have donated many Limited Edition Prints to animal welfare organisations for fund raising
and sold paintings, prints and drawings throughout the UK, Spain and USA.

Hi everyone, I think this is my sixth Arts festival at Mentmore, every year it gathers more and more interest which is great, and there is always a good buzz about the event.
My art and tastes seem to change year on year, although my first love is still painting land and sea-scapes.
I like to push myself to paint other topics, as you never know what you're good at until you try, so this time I've tried my hand at animals and birds aswell.
I hope you enjoy my work this year.

I find inspiration through walking and cycling in the Chiltern Hills for my landscape paintings. The intensity of light, colour and form through the changing of the seasons is of particular interest. Using photographs and sketching out in the field as a starting point, I develop my ideas using a variety of techniques and am at the moment focusing on using the medium of acrylic inks. Contemporary landscape painters such as, Margo Maeckelberghe and Kurt Jackson, have been an influence with their freedom of expression.

Mary Ann has been painting for as long as she can remember. A self-taught artist who has, over the years attended numerous workshops, some by eminent artists themselves, Mary Ann has experimented with different styles and textures. She says she is "travelling on an artistic journey that continues on a never ending roller coaster of discovery."
Mary Ann was shortlisted to take part in the Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year 2016 and has featured in several local art exhibitions in Hertfordshire and around London.
"I am excited by the magic of paint and never cease to be amazed at the level of complexity and versatility just one brushstroke can achieve," she says.
Her home country, the UK, has been inspirational in her artistic development. Recently the red earth of Australia and the azure of the sea have been feeding her endless curiosity for subject matter to put to canvas.
Mary Ann has featured in several local art exhibitions in and around London.
Currently Mary Ann has been experimenting with thick layers of paint laid on with a palette knife, using bold, bright colours, depicting a series of scenes showing everyday people at play or at work, on the beach or among their friends, catching them momentarily in a scene as if through candid camera.
Mary Ann continues to paint with both brush and palette knife. She has also allowed her long-standing fascination with the outdoors to come through her work, developing a series of colourful coastal scenes and trees in bright autumn colours.
She has encompassed the breathtaking beauty of water, whether it is coastal waves lapping the shore, a gentle river meandering through green rolling hills, or a sparkling, frothy waterfall in a forest glade, ablaze with colour.
"Colour is the key to my work," she explains. "Without colour life would be a very dull place. I feel my job is to project that colour on to walls in generous, daring quantities, providing an uplifting and happy interlude for the viewer."

I have been painting since 2002, and producing & selling greetings cards from my art for the last few years. I print my own cards using high-quality matte photo paper, which gives amazingly vibrant colours and a surface which is a pleasure to write on.
I love painting! I use a variety of media, including watercolour, acrylics (inks & paint), pen & ink, charcoal and pastel, and mixed media. I am inspired by the colours and shapes of nature: plants & flowers, wildlife, the sea; I also love to draw & paint boats, townscapes & seascapes. I prefer to draw & paint from life, but use my own photos as inspiration too. I have a passion for colour. I hope you will love my art too!

Laura is a representational artist, living and working in Hertfordshire. Her figurative and portrait work are atmospheric paintings, breathing life on the depth of diverse human emotions. Recently she has taken inspiration from a more classical style of oil painting that centers around the aesthetic values of colour and unity of space, – where the use of light and interpreted brush strokes create her distinctive style of painting. In parallel her digital paintings are computer-based works. They are exploratory expressions inspired from various art forms, a creation of images that are a blend of eclectic styles and techniques. Her work can be viewed on www.fusionartsonline.co.uk or she can be contacted directly on 07711 719452.
Jan Drury is an abstract artist who works in many different mediums. She mixes different types of liquids and watches how they react or whether they repel each other. She then uses these results when she is producing her work. She produces work that is highly visual and touchable. The work often looks as if it is still wet. Jan encourages people to feel and touch her paintings.
Jan only produces 'one off' original pieces of art. Her work cannot be repeated. She can produce something similar but not exact. This is because there are many processes involved and each reaction is different. That's the beauty of this technique; the end result only becomes apparent when the piece is finished.
Jan has recently spent time by the sea and some of her recent abstract pieces reflect this.
She has been experimenting with print in particular solar printing and is very pleased with the results. A hard plate is made from either a photograph or piece of art. This is then used as a printing plate to produce abstract pieces. Again all the results are unique.
Jan took part in a project in 2015 called The Threads of Time. This involved looking at items from the Hertfordshire Archives and producing a piece of work based on one or more of the items and the family home. This has recently been on display at Upstairs Gallery Berkhampsted . She is currently working on a similar project with Bedford Archives.
Jan has also produced a series of pieces that look at the traces our ancestors leave behind that continue in future generations
Please look closely at all the work. Everyone will see something different in it.

I trained as a Window Dresser in a north London Store and spent six years there before I married and came to Harpenden. I then spent the next three years window dressing in St Albans before having children.
It is only in the last few years that I have been able to devote the time needed to develop different techniques and am now happy to be painting and drawing animals & flowers. I enjoy experimenting with many different mediums, including watercolour, pastel, coloured pencils, inks and wax crayons. I have become well known for painting hares and I attribute this to my friend Richard Ansell, who will sit for hours waiting for the 'right shot' in the Suffolk countryside. I exhibit in many local art exhibitions around Hertfordshire and have had some my work chosen by a marketing company to reproduce as canvases and cards.
I have been involved in all things creative since childhood; and as an adult for many years created felt accessories.
My journey has taken me from spinning and felting to the present time where I am studying for a BA Degree Hons in Contemporary Fine Art. My confidence in myself as an artist has grown particularly whilst studying, and in 2012 I was chosen as one of the finalists for the BBC 2 programme 'Paul Martins Handmade Revolution'. Over the past ten years as an emerging artist I have exhibited in France, Birmingham, London, Milton Keynes and Nottingham.
My paternal family were involved in the weaving and fishing industry. Researching these roots along with my childhood recollections of females facing adversity, their strength and use of what was thought to be female domestic skills of knitting, needlework and embroidery, has led me into developing my artistic concepts. My background enriches and gives expression to my artwork. My work ranges from 2D, mixed media, and large installations.
David Gainford's paintings reflect his believe that the techniques of the old masters and the great impressionist provide the correct inspiration for his work, which are now in private collections around the world.
I am a self taught artist who started to paint with oil in 2013, after a year self taught attending some courses to learn more different techniques and skills. I have lots passion about all kinds of art, I am trying to paint various different types of landscape, seascape, flowers, still life, portraits.

My name is Anne Graham, I live with husband and 3 boys in Cheddington. I do mixed media using watercolour ,acrylic ,lace, real leaves, tissue paper and beads and even shells.
I celebrate nature, light and especially work with textures and colour in my work I paint flowers, butterflies, woods and I have recently looked at coastal scenes. I have also done some scenes from Narnia.
I have exhibited in The Berkhamsted Art Club and at Little Heath Farm Garden Centre. Potten End .
I am an artist printmaker who enjoys using many different types of original hand-pulled print techniques to express myself. Printmaking is not a quick, press-a-button act but a detailed and sometimes very lengthy process to produce the desired image – planning the plate, mixing the colours, combining techniques – rolls, rubs, chine colle.
The concept of layers provides a background relationship for my work – whether it is the subject matter itself, the preparation of the print plate, the print process or the layers of inspiration/interpretation.
I mostly print at Bodenpress, entering in-house exhibitions and Bucks Open Studios. I also regularly enter work for sale in exhibitions such as at Obsidian Gallery, Aylesbury Museum and Upstairs Gallery and am a member of the BBH Print Society.
I design a bespoke range of fashion and homeware items. This includes hand dyed silk scarves, ties and bow ties. I also make a range of felted items, such as purses, brooches, cards and a mixture of animals and characters. Alongside this there are examples of knitted and crochet fashion ware and decorations. All of my creations are handmade individual items using a wide range of materials and techniques that are suited to the piece.

Ken comes from a background of graphics having been in the print trade all his working life. As an artist he is mainly self taught and works mainly in acrylics with occasional forays into other mediums. Inspired by the beauty of the world around us, he has a definite leaning towards landscapes, trees and flowers as his pictures will show.
I work in acrylic and oil and enjoy experimenting with mixed media. I paint different subject matter but I prefer sceneries. My aim is to give a sense of mysterious and atmospheric landscapes, using a contrast between smooth skies and the texture of the land. I try to capture a moment when shapes, darkness and light transform nature into emotion.

I am always inspired by the beautiful nature around me. I love to create artwork that captures the reality of the things around but I also enjoy doing something imaginative and spiritual. A painting that leaves an impression in one's heart and mind is what I strive to make. I paint using a variety of medium, however using oil is my preferred method.
Colin has had a keen interest in photography for the best part of 40 years and in the beginning he combined this with his other passion for motorsport and concentrated on taking pictures at Motorcycle Road Racing and Motocross events across the country an he had a reasonable level of success by getting a number of pictures published in national media. Since those days he has now turned his attention more to Wildlife and Vintage Military Aircraft with a particular interest in Birds and WWII Aircraft respectively.Colin spent 4 years living in South Africa during the 1980's and got hooked on Safari's which has driven his passion for all Wildlife photography.Colin also has a keen interest in Military Aviation and attends a good number of air shows throughout the year, so it's no surprise that he veers towards taking the majority on his pictures across these two subjects however, you may find a few surprises amongst his collection that do not follow this trend.If you'd like to see more of my images please visithttp://www.flickr.com/photos/capt_clear/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.flickr.com/photos/capt_clear/ or I can be e-mailed onmailto:email@example.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">firstname.lastname@example.com

I enjoy experimenting, working in a variety of media and using different techniques. This year my focus of interest has been the effect of light on single subject still life and in particular how shadows contribute to the composition.
Although Jan is now a full time Artist and Tutor, her interest in art came later in life. Previously she was a qualified nurse and graduated with a degree from Loughborough University in Human Biology. When her children were small her father (the Watercolour painter, Rod Munro) gave her a painting set for Christmas and from this developed a love of painting. The thrill of seeing a red dot in her first Art Society showing brought home the reality that this could be a new career.
Over the last 20 years Jan has exhibited and sold work in local Society shows and Galleries and in the last 5 years has had work shown and sold at The Mall galleries in The Pastel Society, The Royal Institute of painters in Watercolour and The Society of Women Artists.

Exploration of ideas of permanence and the Japanese concept of wabi sabi are part of the ongoing narrative of her work. She has her jewellery in several galleries across the country and is delighted to offer bespoke commissions.
Stella is a self taught artist who started painting with Enamel on Ivorine ( imitation Ivory) and Eggshells.

I have been a serious painter since 1993 working in both watercolour and oils. Since being able to take the option of early retirement 2013 I have been able to focus even more on my art. I really enjoy buildings within a landscape particularly those that are a bit run down, such as old barns. Many of my landscape paintings are from North Norfolk, an area of the UK I have been constantly visiting for more than 30 years, boats feature quite often in my paintings even though I avoid actually going in them.
I now sell regularly in local exhibitions.
My paintings explore the wonders of light and energy in natural and urban spaces.
Through the pouring and building up of paints and other mediums I am able to mimic natures processes to create energy, rhythm and tension
through the ethereal and sometimes fleeting shapes and pattern that manifest.
The hope is that it helps the viewer to contemplate this natural wonder that sometimes allude to the intangible, mysterious and the Divine.

Born a long time ago and still alive, I have been a very keen photographer since the day my father bought a kodak box brownie, and I started taking the family photographs, (I looked better behind the camera than in front )!
After many varied and different careers, I became a full time professional in 2006, and opened my studio working on many different commissions, weddings, family groups, model portfolios, and product photography. Whilst I enjoyed the challenge of studio work I decided to close and concentrate on doing my own thing, taking photographs of landscapes, the natural world, boats, anything that took my eye really, especially whilst on my travels.
I moved to the Herts/Bucks borders in 2012 and now produce my own work. I edit and print my photographs personally, and hand make picture frames. I laminate and mount my photographs on acrylic panels, canvases and art blocks as well as making clocks, work top savers and coasters.
I attend art and craft shows in the Herts/Bucks/Beds area where I look forward to meeting people and am always happy to talk photography. More details about me and my work can be found on my website www.mikeralphs.co.uk
A qualified Occupational therapist, Cathy started her art career in 2008. Self taught, her earlier paintings were predominantly circle based abstracts but developed into urban landscapes fuelled by a lifelong interest in buildings. This evolution was only natural following a childhood dominated by the giant mills of the Cotton industry.
Her distinctive paintings depict the geometric shapes and inherent patterns of architecture in a free, expressive style. The inspiration coming from time spent in London and other major cities.Cathy's artwork has been shown around the UK as well as Europe, with pictures in collections as far afield as Canada and Europe. Commissioned by Oxford University Press, her work illustrates the 2016 Oxford Almanack. Cathy S R Read is a member of the Society of Women Artists.

Julia Rigby is a well-known artist and designer with her colourful and quirky designs appearing on stationery, puzzles and cross-stitch kits. She also illustrates for The English Garden magazine. Her work is always colourful and the subject matter varies from landscapes to plants and animals as well as naïve depictions of people, especially children in her work for Phoenix Trading and Wentworth Jigsaws. She enjoys mixing media and techniques and is always striving to produce something new and original.
I studied Art and Design 2D media at the University of Hertfordshire. I have a continued love of surface texture and pattern. My recent work has developed into, sometimes abstract, landscape images inspired time spent in the west coast of Cornwall and the fells of the lakes district. I like to create a feeling of a journey rather than a destination.

Nature, landscape and the weather are my main sources of inspiration. Escaping outdoors, either here with our gentle hills, Cornwall's raw coastlines or the vastness of the Norfolk skies is always a treat! Both etching and monoprinting provide a freedom and unpredictability which I enjoy and use to create my work.
"Too many beautiful and interesting places!" My only regret is that there is not enough time to capture and convey them with a painting. I specialise in oils and I have painted most subjects including landscapes, pets, portraits, you name it. I love the challenge of commissions, one never knows what the customer will request next. With commissions I see it as my job to understand what you want and then exceed your expectations. Recently I have been testing myself with 'daily painting' trying to produce at least one small painting per day. I find this a really interesting way of expanding my painting abilities and as a side effect produces lots of affordable paintings for you the art lover. I exhibit locally and during the summer months I run a local en plein air painting group. For the festival I hope to have lots of affordable paintings. See my Facebook page to see some of what I have been up to lately and my Etsy store.

An artist for over 20 years, working specifically in glass for more than 10, I merge traditional stained glass methods and modern fusion and screen printing methods, incorporating materials such as wood and metal to create unique stained glass art panels, windows and mirrors, and kiln-fused jewellery, and wall and table art.
In 2005 I took a 10 week evening class in stained glass techniques and since then have developed my skills through testing my ideas against traditionalist views, and through additional short workshops.
My ever evolving style brings a range of beautiful and unique pieces with inspiration from various sources and styles including pop art, art nouveau, nature, and photography.
I undertake commissions of all sizes and intricacies from single pieces or wedding sets of jewellery, to table and wall art, through to large leaded and fused glass panels.My web address is: www.starburstglass.co.uk and my facebook is https://m.facebook.com/StarburstGlassbyOpalSeabrook/ I'm also on instagram as Opal Seabrook too.
Wayne Stiller is a keen amateur photographer and a member of the Royal Photographic Society.
Whilst using and enjoying most styles and types of photography, he is most passionate about street, macro and pet photography.
Street Photography captures images of the modern world and most of Wayne's work looks at people going about their everyday business around towns and cities such as London and Leighton Buzzard.
Wayne loves using macro photography – getting close, seeing details and using abstract images to show life in a slightly different manner.
Being the proud owner of 2 Tibetan Terriers, Wayne enjoys nothing more than an outside pet photography shoot capturing interactions with pets and their owners, showing the pet's true personality. One of his photos has been officially selected for the Tibetan Terrier Association calendar 2017.
Another of Wayne's passions is capturing the stunning local landscapes that surround us in this lovely corner of Buckinghamshire.

Julie spent her childhood in Drayton Parslow, in Buckinghamshire. She won a scholarship to the Willesden Technical College of Art, where the intention was to become a dress designer from 1953-1955.
Unfortunately, funds would not allow her to follow her dream and stay at College. She was told to 'get a proper job!', sound familiar?
Julie became a secretary (her 'proper job!'). She started painting in later life and attended a local Art association and joined night school. Julies work was exhibited in the Linda Blackstone Gallery and in 1985 achieved real success. Julie had two very successful exhibitions, and was, through the gallery, introduced to two print companies who printed cards and posters, namely Camden Graphics.
Moving to Dorset in 1997, Julie was again successfully exhibiting her work. Unfortunately, her husband sadly passed away in 2000, and Julie could not think of painting for some time.
Now, Julie has now lived in the Buckinghamshire countryside of Stoke Hammond for four year, and is now painting and exhibiting her Art, once again. Julie paints in oil, acrylic, pastel and water colour and finds her countryside and creativity from all of her surroundings.

I have no credentials as an artist. In 2013 having retired I decided I would learn to paint with acrylics so went to one or two courses. I love painting and experimenting with mixed media and collage, the joy of discovery. Some paintings are quite exciting, but so far most of my work has been too large to fit in the display space so the next few weeks will need to be very focussed and results smaller!
I belong to Piddington Art Group, a wonderful set of like minded people who are very encouraging and enjoy pushing the boundaries. My husband creates amazing pottery himself, and has been a great support without him I would not be attempting to do this.
Richard is an historian by training. He has long been interested in art. Only in retirement has he found time to develop fully his artistic interests and talents. His boyhood upbringing on the south coast and lifelong love of the sea are reflected in his artistic expression. His paintings are mainly seascapes and landscapes in a semi-abstract, impressionistic genre. The relationship between art and poetry, especially of the sea, is reflected in his painting. He paints mainly with a palette knife in oil and acrylic in his studio and en plein-air.
Helen is an Illuminator who uses traditional gilding methods, and a Ceramicist making tiles, coasters and jewellery. She gains inspiration from medieval sources for her precise and detailed work, and often uses geometry to give a harmonious underlying structure.

Susanne paints mostly in meditative state to enriching and inspirational healing, energy music. The range of style is broad – much of what evolves through the application of the paint, translates itself into landscapes, whilst other pieces remain abstract. Whether painted by brush or only with fingers, most of the paintings exude bright, lustrous and radiant colours.
Susanne's mainstream work being in transformational health and life-coaching and complementary health.

I am a glass designer and maker working in ceramics and glass, offering an extensive range of beautiful vibrant glass. This is comprised of bowls, vases and handmade jewellery. This range is combined with my latest collection of porcelain tableware. Many of my pieces reflect the love of colour and texture, some of which can transform spaces according to the change of light. They are created to excite the viewer with colourful, vibrant and striking hues. All of my pieces are made using beautiful high quality materials.
Julie is an artist who paints with beeswax, also known as encaustic wax art. Encaustic means to 'burn in' and therefore relates to the process of heating the wax rather than the medium used, this is an ancient art form originally used by the Egyptians 2,000 years ago. Julie heats encaustic wax blocks, beeswax, resin and mixed media to create unusual tactile and textural abstract pieces. She works from her studio in Bourne End, Hertfordshire, and runs workshops in encaustic techniques… and no the wax will not melt, check my website, or ask me to find out why not…!

If you love cropped pants then you will love cullotes. They are fun & easy to style. When I bought this pair I wished it was black in colour, cause I think this colour is a bit limiting to what I have in my wardrobe. I styled my cullotes with a romper, though the cullotes came with a lining cause of the sheer fabric, and barely there block heels. Oh my daughter decided to photobomb.
Do you love cropped pants? How do you style them?
Have a lovely week ahead.
20 March 2017
I love a denim on denim ensemble but I try as much as possible not to look like I have worn a onesie. The best way to do that is to pair different washes. I styled my outfit with different shades of blue, a light wash top with a medium wash. I accessorized with a multi-coloured bracelet for some colour & block heels.
What is your favourite way to style your denim?

You'll need;
Seam ripper (optional).
Marker or chalk.
I unravelled the hem with a seam ripper or you can just cut above the hem with a pair of scissors. Your jeans will start to fray & once you wash your jeans the frayed hem will be noticeable.
Mark the side of the hem, front or back, you want to be uneven. Cut & let it fray lol.

Happy new week......
I have had this dress for a couple of years but never wore it because of a wardrobe malfunction I had with a wrap dress, eventhough this is a faux dress. So when I wore it, I was pleasantly surprised how well it behaved lol. I styled the dress with black block heels cause of the abstract prints on the dress.
How would you style a wrap (faux) dress?
*Apologies for the over-exposed photos.
Outfit - Thrifted.
Photography - Self Portrait.
Lovely week ahead.

[drl] Well i guess this was a no brainer that al-Maliki has only ONE choice to play by the rules or RUN !!!! There is a ton of additional security presence in Baghdad and also at and around the embassy still after Kerry left and im expecting something MAJOR today or tomorrow. Hopefully my guys are right and this is the last Tuesday we ride this long and bumpy ride and that we will be at the banks on next Monday the 1st of April.
This is way too important to the people of Iraq and the world to even consider or joke about the coincidenceof this MAJOR event being completely done on a silly day that children refer to as April fools day. Turns out this will be the day that all the nay sayers of this dinar investment will be the only real fools left scratching their heads wondering why they were so stupid not to listen.
See ya all at the bank next week !!!!!! I'll be the guy with the hat on and the dark sunglasses just blending in with the regular crowd. Be smart and just blend in and dont make yourself out to be a target

[goin4broke] Plowboy these banks taking your money really bothers me and i don't know of anyone on this site or around that has any idea how to deal with that.
[Plowboy] goin4broke agreed. I'm trying to come up with a strategy for how to invest post rv so that the money wont be touchable by banks or politicians
[goin4broke] Plowboy I've studied much on investments and we have a an expert in here on MIG. I know forever in history Gold is 16 times more that Silver. At this time it is more. All I speak too say Silver should be 100 an ounce so that is a real potential investment post RV. Just food for thoughts as I believe pay it forward. I know we've all told hundreds if not more about the Dinar and they laughed or called it a scam. Oh well lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
[Plowboy] goin4broke. I hope we have more discussions about this type of thing. Are you thinking of owning physical precious metals and burying them in your back yard (so to speak) or somewhere else?
[goin4broke] Plowboy yes I will own physical
[msgwen] I would like to ask a question. Do most of you still think the VND and IQD will go at the same time? Frank26 Eagle1 were saying the VND will go in second basket. Thanks
turkeyhtr] msgwen , if VND goes in second basket, major double dipping!
[cashinqueen1] sananddan24 he also said maybe a happy easter
[randaree] msgwen I thought everyone is thinking no double dipping
[cashinqueen1] randaree i like double dipping rofl
[msgwen] turkeyhtr yes, I know. Frank was saying that at the end of his cc last night.
[blackjon] msgwen I hope not b/c if it goes after the dinar I will be snaping up a few mill and some china yen to while I'm at it gm all;;

Roger, with all due respect, it appaears you may be new to this investment. There is not any scheduled rv for the IQD on April 1. It is recommended to read/educate yourself with credible and official news sources and to understand the dynamics of Iraq recovering from a decade of destruction and poverty. When April 1 comes and goes without fanfare, I think this post will have much more validity for you. Parliament's postponement will not be the reason, there are a dozen more. Thanks, and best wishes for a prosperous future.

But has anyone considered the possibility of it devaluing? I'm just saying that I'm not committing an extraordinary amount of proceeds. Thoughts on the matter is appreciated.

The gold/silver ratio was about 16/1 up until about 1913 when the Federal reserve was started...the actual historical average is around 27....Today it is at around 51. To get back to 16, silver will have to increase to $100/troy ounce...don't see that...50, maybe...but silver still looks like a sound investment

Just know Roger B that NO ONE has been right about an RV date or rate. Not even wife in the know. So don't get all hooked into each post. Stay grounded until you get home from the bank, then you can jump up & down, scream or cry all you want. For years April 1st has been a must RV day, but it has never happened yet. Hang in there.

Valentia Mask
Valentia Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask is organic and all natural. The mask provides intense hydration and is suppose to help combat the signs of aging using silk protein amino acid which increase the production of collagen. The hydrating mask also contains several other beneficial ingredients such as organic Rosehip seed oil to help lock in moisture and my personal favorite that I discovered earlier this year Sea Buckthorn!
Sea Buckthorn is supposed to be an anti-aging wonder berry that helps even skin tone and makes skin firmer. Sea Buckthorn is actually one of the main ingredients in this mask and probably one of the main reasons I love it so much. I'm not sure why but I can really tell a difference in my skin whenever I use anything with sea buckthorn.
The directions say to apply the mask leave on 15-30 minutes and then rinse with water. I have used this a couple times now according to the directions and can already tell a difference. When I first applied it has a nice cooling effect then changes into a slight tingling sensation. After I removed the mask my skin instantly felt more hydrated and soft. I haven't noticed any huge wrinkle reduction or anything but my skin does have a more even tone after using this.
This is the second product I've tried from Valentia that I really like. You can check out my review of the Valentia Eye Cream here. You can also find out how to purchase the Valentia Mask here.
Disclosure: I did receive this item free for testing purposes however, all opinions are my own.

THE Scottish Tourist Board is getting £12 million to encourage foreigners to trace their roots in Scotland. Genealogy is a booming market and ministers are keen to tap into it to halt a downward trend in visitors.
The grant from the Scottish Executive is part of a multi-million pound package to develop niche markets, such as golf, to combat a drop in tourist numbers due to bad weather and a strong pound that has seen Scotland suffer its worst year in two decades. An Executive spokesman said: "More and more people are coming to Scotland to trace their backgrounds and it is something we can look at to boost the industry."
Henry McLeish, the Enterprise Minister, also announced more than £22 million to be spent on the "shameful" levels of illiteracy and innumeracy in Scotland. Pupils from the poorest areas are to be given £40 a week to stay at school and the number of people training teachers to deal with adult literacy will rise from 40 to 250.
Three quarters of the money will be channelled through colleges, and one quarter through the voluntary sector. Mr McLeish said: "Hundreds of thousands of people have problems doing some of the things we take for granted."
Budgets for the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council, the Scottish Further Education Funding Council and Scottish Enterprise will all rise. Highlands and Islands Enterprise is also to get an increase, with an extra £4 million next year.

Award-winning Thomond Park architects to close
The top architects behind Thomond Park have become the latest high-profile victim of the property bust, it was revealed today.
Award-winning Murray O Laoire Architects has collapsed with the loss of 127 jobs in offices in Dublin, Cork and Limerick as well as Moscow, Bratislava in Slovakia and Aachen in Germany.
The firm also had a presence in the Libyan capital Tripoli, Barbados and Abu Dhabi.
Directors of the company, set up in 1979 by Hugh Murray and Sean O Laoire, blamed mounting debts and a lack of new building projects.
They also said it was getting increasingly difficult to get paid on time - if at all - for work carried out.
In a short statement, the company said it would do all it could within the constraints of the liquidation process to minimise the impact of the collapse on its creditors, clients and staff.
It is unclear what the effect will be on existing projects while it will hold a meeting with its creditors in the coming days.
As well as the Thomond Park rugby station, which won an RIAI Irish Architecture Award last year, Murray O Laoire has won awards and acclaim for the CIT Cork School of Music and the Galway and Mayo Institute of Technology in Galway.
They were also behind Athlone Town Centre, the Green Building in Temple Bar, Dublin and the Irish Pavillion at the Hannover Expo 2000.

September 21, 2011
Mike Modano(notes) officially retired from the NHL on Tuesday, two months after it was obvious he would and about one year too late. Hip cat that he is, Modano announced it via Facebook and Twitter:
"After a long summer of thinking about my future, I've come to the decision that it's time to retire as a player from the NHL. There's way too many people to thank here at this time and too much to say, so I have a press conference scheduled for early Friday afternoon. Check back Friday late afternoon for more. What a great ride it's been!"
Time for Scotty Wazz to cross another name off the "guys from NHL '94 still playing in 2011" list ...
Modano was never a 100-point player. The closest he ever came to breaking the century mark were back-to-back 93-point seasons with the Minnesota North Stars in 1990-1992. His 561 goals ranks him 23rd on the all-time list, as the four goals he scored in 40 games with the Detroit Red Wings last season pushed him ahead of Guy LaFleur.
[Play Fantasy Hockey, now with Pro Leagues]
Yet Modano was every bit the superstar that Steve Yzerman or Joe Sakic(notes) or any of his peers during his prime were; and like those two Hall of Famers, an indelible part of his legacy is specific to franchise and to country.
Mike Modano was to hockey in Texas as Wayne Gretzky was to hockey in California, even if the magnitude of his contribution didn't result in, say, an NHL team in Houston (yet).
He was an offensive star with matinee idol looks who became the face of the Dallas Stars in a non-traditional market. His name was on the back of freshly pressed jerseys on fans. His face was everywhere from billboards to local talk shows. In a sport that emphasizes "team" over individual with fervor, he was an individual helping to sell his team to new fans.
From Brad Gardner at Defending Big D:
Mike Modano is the greatest player this franchise has ever seen or will ever seen. He is the greatest American born player to ever lace up a pair of skates. He built his tremendous offensive numbers during the clutching and grabbing of the mid and late 1990's, bought into playing defense under Bob Gainey and Ken Hitchcock, brought the Stanley Cup to Dallas in 1999, and was as singularly responsible for growing the game of hockey in North Texas as anyone possibly could be.
The "best American player" debate is a good one, with Modano loyalists clashing with the Chelios/Leetch camp. But that's conjecture; the fact is that on Nov. 7, 2007, Modano became the best U.S.-born offensive player statistically in NHL history:
That's the night Modano's back-to-back goals gave him 1,233 points in 1,253 regular-season games. It was 242 fewer games than Phil Housley needed to set the previous mark for U.S.-born players. That led to this moment, via the Stars:
"There was one phone call that caught Modano the most by surprise, and it's a call he won't soon forget. Shortly after 10:30 a.m. California time, Modano received a congratulatory phone call from the President of the United States, George W. Bush. The normally poised, composed Modano was momentarily at a loss for words when he heard the leader of the free world on the other end of his phone."
His legacy for American hockey is as vital as his legacy in the Lone Star State. From Greatest Hockey Legends:
Modano's ascent to the upper echelon of NHL stars made him an important player for the United States. He represented his country at the World Championships in 1990 and 1993 and the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics. In 1991 he helped the U.S. finish second to Canada at the 1991 Canada Cup then scored six points in seven games five years later as the U.S. won the inaugural World Cup of hockey. In Nagano Modano was arguably the most consistent forward on a disappointing U.S. team that failed to win a medal. At the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Modano and his teammates made up for their disappointment in 1998 by capturing a silver medal. In 2004, Modano went on to represent the U.S. for a second time at the World Cup of Hockey and in the spring of 2005 was named to the U.S. World Championship team.
What made Modano special weren't the stats or the championships — although bringing a Stanley Cup to Dallas in 1999 and then returning to the Final the following year is a hell of a way to establish a fan base.
It was that American hockey fans of a certain age finally had a player born on our soil that we could pretend to be while firing pucks at the net in our driveway. Or controlling on a video game. Or aspiring to become as we skated on local travel teams.
A guy who was a leader, with or without wearing a 'C'. A guy who carried himself with class on the ice and was charitable to a fault off the ice. A guy who got to cameo in "The Mighty Ducks" and marry a model/actress.
A guy who wasn't just a fantastic hockey player but someone a U.S. hockey fan could point to and say, "Damn, I want that life."
That there are so many other American players today, and on the way, for whom we can say the same is a testament to Modano's impact locally and nationally as a hockey legend.

I can't seem to get warm. Have been hit with a 48 hour flu or something after Katherine brought it home from daycare earlier this week. I'm an achy ball of misery but there are things that need doing so today I'm going to take my time and get them done.
The new place in Sudbury is great; the buses run every 15 minutes and I'm a five minute walk from the biggest mall in town so any time I need anything, or I'm just bored, I can wander over that way. Gabe decided to stay in the Soo with his Nana and Poppa (my in-laws) to finish the school year and it's so odd not to have him around all the time. It's quieter, that's for sure. He's at camp this weekend with my parents and I'm sure when we talk later he'll have amazing stories to tell me of riding on the atv, shooting the .22 and going fishing.
Ryan's new position finally seems to have all the kinks worked out so that's good too; it was a rough road getting all the new staff in place and trained. It's SO wonderful to be together again; to sleep side by side every night, cuddle on the couch and watch a movie, share the pick ups and drop offs for Kat's new daycare and be able to sit and chat and dream. We're hoping to get to FanExpo again on the Labour Day weekend and do some traveling and camping when we can this summer. Other than that, no big plans.
On the 'what the heck is up with my thyroid?!"front, I had a meeting with a thyroid specialist and he's recommended we take out the whole thing, just to be on the safe side. I'll be going back to the Soo for that sometime in June and will probably need 3-4 days off work. After that they'll poke around and see if it was cancerous. I don't want to think about what comes after that if it was.
There's more but I'm fading fast so I'll just say that I like my new branch and being with my old boss, Shannon, again. Sudbury has been, so far, pretty great.

New York, New York
The Lexington Candy Shop
The oldest family-run luncheonette in New York still serves food and drinks the old fashioned way, last renovated in 1948.
For those looking for a taste of old New York, the first port of call should be the Lexington Candy Shop. Located on the corner of Lexington Avenue and 83rd Street, the Candy Shop is the oldest family-owned luncheonette in the city.
American cities were once graced with luncheonettes, as common to find as Starbucks coffee shops are today. Luncheonettes were generally small, informal restaurants serving light lunches at affordable prices.
Walking into the Candy Shop, which opened its doors in 1925, is to step into a bygone era, an Edward Hopper painting come to life. Last renovated in 1948, the luncheonette still uses its original coffee urns and makes milk shakes with a 1940 Hamilton Beach mixer. Today the Candy Shop is run by John Philis, the grandson of the original owner. It's a true neighborhood spot, both friendly and charming, serving much the same menu as it did when Roosevelt was President: tuna melts, egg creams, malted milkshakes, and sodas using real syrup.
While much of New York constantly changes, is torn down and rarely preserved, the Lexington Candy Shop remains one of the city's most tasty treasures. A piece of bonus trivia: Pictures of many famous actors adorn the walls, including one of Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway who filmed a scene for the spy movie Three Days of the Condor there.

Frank Carter, winner of this year's influential NME Cool List, has revealed his plans to get a tattoo designed to antagonise The Music magazine.
The Gallows frontman followed in the footsteps of Pete Doherty and Gossip's Beth Ditto by topping the magazine's list of who's hot in the world of music, but plans to rubbish the honour with a new piece of body art.
"I've gotta get a 'F**k The NME' tattoo", he told XFM. "I did say if they put me number one I'd get it done, 'cos they'd probably think that was cool and that would cement my place for next year."
Asked how he managed to top the list, the Watford youngster remained as confused as much of the music world.
"I have no idea, I seriously don't know," he said. "We're a f**king hard core punk band, but underneath we're still the same dudes that we've always been. I sit at home I drink tea, go on tour and hang out with my girlfriend and my boys.
"I'm honoured that they have put me above all of those other people cause there's a ton of people on that list that I think are a lot cooler than me that's for sure. But I don't necessarily think I deserve it."
Gallows' new single Staring At The Rude Bois, featuring Lethal Bizzle, is released on November 19th.

I believe Marin Software can do that - we use them on baseball/softball. They have self service at a reasonable price. Their higher levels start to get a bit costly though.
I like to do PPC by hand so they're about the only company I'm familiar with in any capacity - take it for what it's worth.

I have several friends who swear by Finch. The fees can be high but thy guarantee lower costs and increased ROI.

Chuck has recommended a good and value based tool. But still I prefer and insist you stick with your conscious and self-concern. You have to do manual practice of finding profitable keywords and analyse it periodically. Searches and S.E.s both are dynamic and keep on changing time-by-time, so act accordingly.

Kenshoo is another one that's pretty solid. There are a couple of tools they have that would help automate certain aspects of your PPC campaigns.

Schools and consumption
Reading this fantastic article on Truth Out (thanks again to my awesome uncle who sends me these). It argues that consumerism and consumption is killing the US schools.
However, I see the same things happening in Australia. I believe the current situation in schools is killing the creativity of our students in several ways:
- standardised testing promotes the recall of facts without the benefit of using those facts to promote the higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy (maybe another post?).
- the national curriculum is beholden to challenges in teacher preparation that mean that valuable arts education is suffering.
- the reintroduction of grades rather than levels encourages students to compete and fails to consider how each child is working at their own level in all subject areas
I'm not sure what we can do, but it needs to be dealt with. It's not enough to encourage knowledge rather than creativity. As Holt once said:
Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.
And maybe that's where schools go wrong. Maybe that's what they should be focusing on rather than testing kids' knowledge of something that someone, somewhere has decided they ought to know based on their values, their life journey and their beliefs.
5 Responses to "Schools and consumption"
Have you seen Ken Robinson's TED talks about education? I'd recommend them if you haven't.
[…] no research here that I'm citing but it just makes me so cranky to read this. Because, you know kids don't learn unless we force them. […]

There are no regular classes in bookbinding in South Australia, but I can help you with very economical private lessons in my home workshop.
I took up bookbinding as a hobbyist about 35 years ago when I lived in Sydney. I became the Secretary of the NSW Guild Of Craft Bookbinders Inc and an interim Treasurer, and was the chief "searcher out" of surplus equipment and materials (mainly from printers ceasing binding). About 15 years ago I was elected as one of three life members of the NSW Guild. I retired in 2000 and moved to Adelaide where I found that no tuition was offered and it was almost impossible to get materials. Initially I did (and still do) repair work for some second hand booksellers and individuals and for the past 16 years I have tutored privately and for groups (including WEA).
I don't have a rigid program for tuition as people progress at different rates and come to bookbinding with different skills. I can teach just repairs or the full stages of making a book. All you need at the start is interest as I provide all tools, equipment and materials.
You can come to me at Henley Beach for ½ hr or ½ day as you wish – mornings, afternoon or evenings. My current (January 2017) charge for a 2 ½ hr session (which I find to be a good time) is $85 including all materials used.
All repair work I need to see and I will give a price for each book. If you are already a binder and struggling with materials I may be able to assist.
If you think I can help you, just send me (bandmmathew at hotmail dot com) a message with your phone number and I will call you and we can discuss your needs.

Stat and Siz, Welcome to Firefight World .
That's too bad about your olds attitude to buying on the net.
get them to send an email (see my profile) possibly they can be reassured.
Kangaroo is quite right about all the overhead involved if a game is marketed in stores. I could go on for ages but there is a parallel with blockbuster movies. They all come out very similar because when producers have to spend mega$$ on advertising, they can't take the commercial risk of it failing, so they don't make it very different from the other blockbusters.
I hope you get it soon. cheers.

Fr. Donald Senior, cp, paints a picture of Mary as the premier disciple of Christ. He gives his listeners a deeper look into the life of Mary by focusing on the Gospel writer's individual, yet diverse, portraits of her within the historical biblical context. By studying the various Marian passages that are within the Gospels, along with parallel passages of Jesus, he weaves a multi-faceted approach to Mary, both in the New Testament and in the Christian life. Fr. Senior also takes more than a passing glance at the historical experience of Mary from the Protestant perspective. By emphasizing the evangelist's portrayal of Mary as the primary focus for this presentation, Fr. Senior provides the quintessential experience for his listeners to discover Mary as Theotokos, the God-bearer. Mary is depicted as a disciple of her Son, and as an activist of God's holy word, and as the destiny of God's holy people.

India to Auction 46 Oil and Gas Blocks
Part of Program to Cut Hydrocarbon Imports
NEW DELHI—India plans to auction 46 oil and gas blocks by next month as part of the energy-hungry nation's program to boost local output and cut its dependence on imports, the federal oil secretary, Vivek Rae, said Sunday.
The world's second-most populous country imports 75% of the energy it needs, something that weighs on its economic growth and contributes to a large current-account deficit.

In the spirit of Halloween, I've compiled a list of some albums that I have found genuinely disturbing at points. I'm sure there are many I've missed but these albums wouldn't be absent from my rotation around Halloween! (in no particular order)
The Fall – Bend Sinister (1986)
Named after a dystopian novel by Vladimir Nabokov, this album sets the The Fall in a dark place – it actually got mastered at a speed slower than intended which resulted in a ghastly and, pardon the pun, sinister, sound. The album is sludgy and slow-moving but the suspense is invigorating and the tones are haunting. One of my favorite Fall albums.
Gravediggaz – 6 Feet Deep (1994) – Perhaps the most interesting RZA side project, this album is also the least disturbing on the list. As an auditory experience, it's not too uncomfortable but by the time RZA starts rapping about being nailed to a cross and chewing his arm off to escape, it's hard not to become a little unsettled.
Nine Inch Nails – The Downward Spiral (1994) – Another 1994 album, this was Nine Inch Nails' (Trent Reznor's) masterpiece. They never topped this. The album is so good that Johnny Cash felt it necessary to cover the last song on the album, "Hurt". A very moving experience of a man descending into the darkest places of the human conscience. Cathartic, depressing, exhilarating, and simply unforgettable.
The Sound – From The Lion's Mouth (1981) – The second album from a very underrated post-punk band, this album is story of human suffering and human resilience. Never completely crafting their own identity, the Sound went under the radar, but this album deserves to be heard. A mellow, reverb filled synth ride along the neural pathways which we exile to our subconscious. Similarly to Ian Curtis, the lead singer of this band met a gruesome end. You'll have to look it up if you're interested.
Joy Division – Closer (1980) – I do not like this album more than their debut album, Unknown Pleasures, but I have a much more difficult time listening to it. The tribal opening track "Atrocity Exhibition" is somehow the most upbeat song here. By the time the second half of the record kicks in, its completely tangible the kind of despair lead-singer Ian Curtis was feeling at the time. This would be the last studio album he recorded before he committed suicide by hanging.
Manic Street Preachers – The Holy Bible (1994) – I've sang the praises of this album so many times that I really don't need to repeat myself. An album borne of depression, addiction, self-mutilation, and hopelessness, the subject matter includes prostitution, WW2, anorexia, drug addiction and the death penalty. The lead lyricist and guitarist, Richy Edwards, mysteriously went missing a few months after the album was released. It is theorized that he jumped off a bridge but a body has never been recovered. He was declared officially dead 12 years later. For a more in-depth look at this album, check out my review here.
Dalek – Absence (2005) – I really don't know how to describe this one so I won't. It's "abstract hip-hop" (supposedly), but it sounds like something you'd hear in a nightmare. Look it up and judge for yourself.
Brotha Lynch Hung – Mannibalector (2013) – This guy is a veteran horror-core rapper and I don't care what anyone says, this is his best work yet. His rapping is spot on and he flows like a madman. He's like a mix of Tech9 and Bushwick Bill. The album is part of a concept-trilogy revolving around a cannibal/serial-killer/rapper. That about says it all. An excellent album.
The Cure – Pornography (1982) – Their fourth album and part of their "dark trilogy", this particular album marks the absolute dirgiest and darkest form this band every materialized in. An absolutely difficult album to listen to – it's also a post-punk masterstroke. For God's sake, the first lyrics in the album are – "It doesn't matter if we all die" – and it just gets worse from there.
Honorable Mentions: Portishead – Portishead (1997), Geto Boys – We Can't Be Stopped (1991), Public Image Ltd. – Metal Box (1979), The Pop Group – Y (1979)
If you haven't heard these albums, check them out! From all the folks at WPCR, have a fun and safe Halloween everyone!

Genre: Romance/Drama
Starring: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan
Based on a book that got all the women in the world to giggle and blush in a corner, Fifty Shades of Grey can easily be passed as a softcore porn movie. Christian Grey (Dornan) is a rich, young and successful businessman who only wears grey, insists all of his staff to wear grey and everything in his house and surroundings are in hues of grey. Anastasia Steel (Johnson) is your next-door, average looking girl who, like every other woman on the planet, falls in love with Christian Grey. Grey, however, leads a very lonely life and does not let anyone into his thoughts. His sex life, is far from normal and prefers more painful, sadistic and hardcore form of love-making rather than the conventional romantic form. Anastasia, on the other hand, has never experienced even normal sexual activity and has no idea what she is getting into. What she does know is that she is madly in love with Grey but somehow they are far too incompatible to survive. Many fans of the booked have criticised the movie in failing to bring out the true essence of the book and focusing far too much on the sex. The casting choices too have received negative feedback with many stating that Jamie Dornan is not the character that the book portrays. The story of the entire movie seems very wobbly with the focus only being on the relationship between Christian and Anastasia with no other parallel stories or anything different to materialise between the duo. It is easy to get bored in the movie after having to watch the same story simply repeating itself. The movie ends on a very abrupt manner and those who haven't read the book or know anything about it would never imagine a sequel to be possible. If you're looking for a hardcore romance movie, stay away. This is porn.
