Kylie combines collaborative portrayals alongside media representations to convey the strange fragmentation of self that occurs in the lives of international media icons.

The book also includes visual material taken from Kylie's own archives, dating from early "Neighbours" memorabilia documenting the worldwide Charlene phenomenon such as telephone cards and t-shirts, to fan snapshots, off-the-cuff portraits, a visual discography, as well as more recent photographic shoots with some of the world's top photographers including Ellen von Unwerth and Stephanie Sednaoui.

Alright kids. I spent 24 straight hours watching RWRB on loop (not kidding). And the only reason it wasn't more was because my dog decided to lay on the remote and turn the TV off late last night. She got glared at rather harshly for all of 3 seconds before my rational brain kicked in and told me, "Yes, Meg, you do actually need to sleep. You are closer to 40 than 20."
So with that, as I once again rewatch the RWRB movie, let's have some thoughts on book to movie adaptations from a fandom grandma, shall we?
First, Casey's book is beloved by so many and for all the right reasons. They gave us an iconically beautiful and unapologetic queer love story with characters that you love, get frustrated with, laugh both at and with, cheer for, and roll your eyes at as they stumble around figuring out this whole queer-in-the-public-eye thing and I don't care who you are, I'd imagine that's going to be tough for any public figure at any age.
Casey also gives us fleshed out and sometimes interwoven storylines with June, Nora, Pez, Luna, Bea, et al. Because writing allows for that to develop. There's no time or page limit on a book. The only limit to the book is the writer's imagination. It's an artistic medium that allows for more intricacies and interactions between the various characters (looking at Alex and Ellen and the PowerPoint, and Alex and Bea and "I love him on purpose").
I loved the book first, and I will continue to love the book above all else.
But book to movie adaptations are never going to be the same. They simply can't be the same. They have a finite amount of time to fill. They can't develop intricate storylines, which is why we see no June, no Luna, little of Percy, Alex's parents being married instead of divorced, nothing on Bea's addiction, and why we have little bastards like Miguel to still fill the main event that brings both Alex and Henry out into the public as their true, authentic selves.
The best book to movie adaptations are those that stay true to the plot. It's going to be faster paced because there's 2-2.5 hours in which to tell the story and all the main events have to be hit in that time. It's why we see the texting montage, and why the emails are done via voice over.
They honor the characters by not only keeping them as they are in the books, but in doing right by them as well. That includes casting the right people, and Taylor and Nick were far and away the best Alex and Henry.
Any creator who has ever created anything based on a book, movie, TV series, video game, etc. knows that when you take something that is already out there, you put your vision to the story. And that's what Matthew did with the movie. He made it his love letter to Henry and Alex, and Henry and Alex only. And while he surely had input from Casey, ultimately it was his vision that had to be realized in the movie.
Movie adaptations can also give you some wonderful added moments. And here we get to see Henry's struggle as well as Alex's. Because movies can be told from different points of view, even if the source material isn't. Ellen's powerpoint wasn't included, but it was referenced and that is just as important.
So many moments, from Alex and Henry's first kiss, to the conversation with Alex's dad, to Henry's soliloquy to Alex in the middle of the night at KP are still pulled word-for-word straight from the book.
We may not have "I love him on purpose." But we do have, "I'll break the sound barrier for you."
We don't get "Your Song" but we do get "Can't Help Falling in Love" and both are equally appropriate for what Alex and Henry have.
We get to keep, "history huh? Bet we could make some."
And we get to see Henry fight for himself and question why the established norms of a 21st century monarchy need to continue the way they've always been, rather than have his mum swoop in and save the day. And that is fucking brilliant character growth my friends.
No movie is ever going to be a scene by scene rehash of a book, no matter how beloved it is, and no matter how enthusiastically all of us shout that we would absolutely sit for a 10 hour movie of every little thing TYVM. But as long as it is there to be an ode to the original, to compliment it, then that's all you can ask for. And it's all you should ask for.

my favorite things/moments from red white and royal blue
so basically like the whole book but bear with me
“they’re saying you got your asshole bleached” “that one is true” “i thought so”
the fact that june and nora are so clearly fucking but we have the most unreliable, oblivious, self-centered narrator ever (affectionate) so its never actually put into the books
“a strawberry-blond, whip-smart democrat with high heels, an unapologetic drawl, and a little biracial family”
june’s plane reading material like what is she on
nora calling alex out for crushing on henry right off the bat. literally on page 10. sis knows whats up lmao
“maybe it is technically a rivalry. whatever.” enemies to lovers is winning
the ENTIRE viscount convo at the wedding please😭😭
“its cute how you think everything is about you” “it should be honestly” “thats the spirit”
the double meaning when alex is thinking about how his fingernails were too stubby to pick out the staples in the pic of henry because his hands weren’t “like a girl’s”
“he’s too perfect. alex wants to poke it.”
“sorry i’m not obsessed with you like everyone else. that must be confusing for you” “you know what? i think you are” iconic
ellen reading the word “cake-tastrophy” with audible distain
alex seeing the paper that says “agreement of terms” and being like “um”
“so you can hate the heir to the throne all you want, write mean poems about him in your diary, but the minute you see a camera, you act like the sun shines out of his dick, and you make it convincing” (ive had this memorized since the first time i read it lmaoo its ingrained in my brain forever)
“have you met henry? how am i supposed to do that? he has the personality of a cabbage”
what the fuck is competitive yachting
“does he get one of these for me?” “yep. and for the record, making it was one of the most depressing moments of my career”
“okay. ill do it. but i wont have any fun” “ god i hope not”
alex thinking his type of love story is more shakespearean and then june saying his and henrys situation is shakespearean
“who does that? who names a dog david? he sounds like a tax attorney. like a dog tax attorney. drink.”
the image of baby alex trying to force an orca wrangler into early retirement because of “inhumane whale practices”
alex’s internal dialogue about shaan (and luna for that matter. god hes so bisexual)
i know henry planned that riding practice so he could come around the corner all bathed in the sunset on a white horse in perfect riding clothes
“haven’t decided yet, but astonishingly, it will not be based on you. remember how we sometimes talk about things that are not about you?” “yeah, weirdly”
“’sorry. er. i was just. cornettos.’ he gestures vaguely toward the refrigerator, as if hes just said something of any meaning”
every time alex refers to henry with any sort of royal title
alex almost missing the question when on a literal talk show bc hes too busy admiring how hot henry is in his sweater and button down (relatable)
alex always describing henry and his eyes with words like fresh and soft and blue
alex being into politics because he genuinely cares about people 🥺 it really is the better timeline
“you know, we have got to stop ending up like this”
“you’re not the prince of me?” “bloody hell”
alex bucking his hips up into henrys 😭 i just know henry almost blacked out lmao
“i cannot believe even mortal peril will not prevent you from being the way you are” yeah
the way they know each other so well without even knowing each other (henrys above comment^, alex calling him out for not being who he is, the entire closet convo and them both just instinctively getting things once they actually stop and breathe for a second)
“wow, youre wrong” the most alex thing ever
i need to be inside cash’s brain to see what he sees when he opens the closet door and they’re just laying side by side on the floor, blinded by the sudden light
“no booty calls” *literally uses it for booty calls*
bitch mcconnell
the way alex describes every attractive man he encounters in vivid detail, practically drooling over all these men, and thinks hes straight
luna immediately trying to get alex to admit hes gay for henry lmao
“you wound me” “you exhaust me” “i enchant you” “ill call security”
all the random emotions alex finds to explain the hot flashes from hot guys doing hot things

“hes unsure of the dress code for inviting your sworn-enemy-turned-fake-best-friend to your room to have sex with you, especially when that room is in the white house, and especially when that person is a guy, and especially when that guy is a prince of england” this sentence should just be the entire blurb honestly. hidden gem.
“hes done research. he has diagrams. he can do this.”
“his stomach does some embarrassing acrobatics he plans to never tell anyone about ever”

“and alex is drunk and fucking transported, feeling every moment of twenty-two years and not a single day older, some kind of hedonistic youth of history. birthday head from another country’s prince will do that”

“if shes not giving it to you, im not giving it to you. shes much nicer than me”

Charmian London, a remarkable woman few people really knew.
When taking a walk around the grounds at Jack London State Historic Park in Glen Ellen it’s easy to be awestruck by the natural beauty of what was once the famous author’s home. Yet what few people know is that behind London and his vision was his 2nd wife, Charmian Kittredge London.
“She was instrumental not only in ensuring his legacy but also in helping and contributing to his writing,” said poet/historian Iris Jamal Dunkle.
Dunkle’s recent book, ‘Charmian Kittredge London, Trailblazer, Author, Adventurer’ speaks of a woman who was a part of her times and yet ahead of her times.
Dunkle’s work inspired the officials and staff at JLSP to shift the spotlight from exclusively Jack London to highlight Charmian as one of the 20th Century’s most under-appreciated women of significant influence and accomplishment.
As noted when she spoke recently with The Sonoma Valley Sun. “I had never even met a writer until the day I walked into the museum at the House of Happy Walls at Jack London State Historic Park, back in the sixth grade.”
“Suddenly, walking through the exhibits, said Dunkle, I saw how one could spend a life traveling the world and writing about it.”
I fell instantly in love with Jack London and vowed to read everything he had ever written,” said Dunkle.
Dunkle was impressed by London’s insightful writing and his way of capturing the essence of people and perspectives.
Yet it was when Dunkle came upon a collection called, ‘Our Valley of the Moon in poems and pictures,’ which included an iconic photograph of Jack London riding on horseback on Sonoma Mountain. “And to my surprise, beneath it was a clear attribution, said Dunkle. “Charmian London.”
Intrigued, Dunkle had a quest set before her. “When I reached out to several scholars to see if they knew Charmian had been the photographer, each of them gave me the same answer: they had never even thought to ask who had taken this famous photograph!” Exclaimed Dunkle.
In her six-year endeavor of research for the nearly-300 page biography, Dunkle was both surprised and dismayed at what she uncovered.
“From far away, London was an individual genius writer. But up close, in the extensive research I did says Dunkle, the ugly truth, the brushstrokes, that made that illusion so beautiful from afar are fully visible.”
“Each adventure London sought and experienced, said Dunkle, each book he wrote was aided by another force of nature: his second wife, Charmian Kittredge London.”
Charmian Kittredge was unique among the women of her time in that she was college educated. “Not a finishing school or a ladies seminary,” said Dunkle but a progressive college for women, Mills College in Oakland,” added Dunkle.
Despite the fact that Charmian lost her mother when she was little, her father insisted she be educated and have skills. Learning stenography, (shorthand) Charmian worked her way through school in the Mills College administration offices. “She became extremely efficient and invaluable,” said Dunkle.
The most upsetting aspect to Dunkle’s lengthy research was the fact that “Charmian was maligned by London scholars and biographers like Irving Stone who painted Charmian as someone who was an overbearing disruption than a helper,” said Dunkle.
Yet what Dunkle uncovered was a remarkable woman who traveled the world, had a high-paying job. “Charmian worked at the largest shipping firm in San Francisco before she met Jack in 1900 and started dating him in 1902,” said Dunkle.
Illuminating important disregarded if not overlooked facts, Dunkle said. “Charmian began her own writing career in the 1890s publishing non-fiction essays in Sunset magazine and The Overland Monthly.”
“One of my most important discoveries, added Dunkle, however, was that Charmian was not just Jack’s secretary (as had been previously assumed). Charmian helped write several of Jack’s books and acted as his editor beginning with his novel,’The Sea-Wolf.’”
With this revelation, Dunkle became undaunted even when resources at Huntington Library in San Marino, CA was missing important bits and pieces.
Referring to her exhaustive research as “clandestine,”
Dunkle surmised. “After being granted such access, Irving Stone’s betrayal with his unfair biased view in the biography he wrote about Jack London, Charmian became more guarded. Most likely, Charmian burned letters, documents, etc.”
Pointing out how much harm is done when facts are distorted or dismembered, “Charmian more than deserves to be honored,” said Dunkle.
“Charmian refused to adhere to the gender norms of her day,” said Dunkle. “She was an avid horseback rider who thought riding side-saddle absurd.” “Charmian was an equal to Jack, (they were definitely soul-mates) unafraid, athletic and adventurous,” added Dunkle.
Volunteers at Jack London State Historic Park like Mary Oswald are pleased with the new focus on Charmian. “As the old saying goes, behind every great man there’s a woman.”
“I agree,” said Sonoma resident Jude Cameron, who stopped in at the exhibit. “Perhaps in this situation with Jack and Charmian, it was more about a woman beside him as an equal.”
To learn more about the exhibit of Charmian at Jack London State Park in Glen Ellen, visit the JLSP website.
Praised by the Jack London Society, and Sonoma State University’s former chair of the Communications Studies Department, Jonah Raskin said of Dunkle’s work.
“Riveting…this biography sets the record straight as straight as it can be straightened…Despite her flaws, or perhaps because of them, Charmian is indeed the kind of woman whom one would love to have known.”

Okay, I'm going to level with you - these guys aren't exactly Halloween icons. In fact, most of you probably don't know or remember this show. But a page I follow posted about it a few weeks ago, so I decided to draw them anyway. Here are Edgar and Ellen, Heimertz and Pet from Edgar and Ellen. If you know, you know.
That wraps it up for Inktober. I know I only got a little over halfway through, but I only had time to draw these at night when I was too tired to enjoy it as much as I wanted to, so I stopped. I hope everyone enjoyed the three groups from this year's theme, and maybe I'll continue with it next October. Happy Inktober to those still going!

This grinds my gears
August 3rd, 2010
Hello self indulgent rant and platform in which to expunge and berate all the things which have been pissing me off in life this week…
This image you see before you is not taken from GQ,Zoo, Nuts, Maxim or the classier pages of Horse and Hound, it is in fact a image in this months Total Film magazine.
The last time I checked Kelly Brook’s bit part in Piranha 3-D was not important enough in the film world to warrant a four minute contemplation LET ALONE a four page spread and tag line cover reading “Bikini’s in the Movies” by Kelly Brook. I would not mind if that was attributed to a vast essay dissecting the finer points of iconic clothing within fimilic moments by a credible actress but NO, its Kelly Brook saying ” Whatever, I’ll dress up as Princess Leia for you.” (actual quote)
I would not mind if it was a small picture in the “stuff thats going on in films this month” section but there is no valid reason I can think of which requires that much space and that many large scale images of a semi naked Kelly Brook. She didnt impress me in Smallville and she wont impress me in Piranha 3-D, and this magazine is not meant to be a naked lady booby magazine, I have nothing against those, this is meant to be a “modern guide to movies” supplement. Even Megan Fox would have made more sense….
Whats next? Is Heat Magazine going to start discussing the decay of the textile industry in order to pull in keen knitters who may have overlooked it? Is Bizarre magazine going to start promoting ladies who abhor spandex for the more traditional reader? Is More magazines position of the fortnight going to be replaced with “funny cat of the week” for the lolz cats generation? (Not a bad idea) EH EH
To balance out this fall from grace I demand a four page photo spread of a naked William H Macy with the tag line “Genitals in the Movies” by William H Macy, in which he discusses his favorite images of genitals within modern cinema and recreates those shots.
Ellen x

League spear girl
LEAGUE SPEAR GIRL PROFESSIONAL
When BuzzFeed writer Alanna Bennett wrote about the scene for its 25th anniversary, screenwriter Lowell Ganz told her via email that, “It did bother us that in order to be historically accurate, we could not have a diverse cast. You can watch the scene below for yourself - it might be only 15 seconds of screen time, but it packs an emotional wallop. The woman does so, but instead of throwing it to Dottie near first base, she whips it to the further-away Ellen Sue (Freddie Simpson), a throw so hard that it leaves Ellen Sue’s hand stinging. However, there is a scene that acknowledges the injustice of excluding women of color from the league: Midway through the film, during a montage highlighting the Rockford Peaches’ growing success as a team, a wild ball lands to the sidelines of the field, and Dottie (Davis) calls for one of the Black women standing nearby to throw it back. The main cast of the film is all white, a reflection of the fact that like men’s baseball of the early 1940s, the AAGPBL was segregated. As a period film, set nearly 50 years before its making, the details on screen are remarkably on point - though there’s one scene that highlights one of the least pleasant aspects of its era. The film became a modern classic for so many reasons: the powerful direction by Penny Marshall, an all-star cast that also includes Tom Hanks, Rosie O’Donnell, Madonna, Jon Lovitz, and David Strathairn, and iconic catchphrases like “There’s no crying in baseball!”, which endure in the public consciousness today.
LEAGUE SPEAR GIRL PROFESSIONAL
Based on the true story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, founded during World War II when most able-bodied men (including ball players) were fighting overseas, A League of Their Own featured two fictional sisters ( Geena Davis and Lori Petty) battling over their own issues during the inaugural season of women’s professional baseball. Thirty years ago, one of the greatest sports movies ever made was released in theaters. But it is a sad one - though maybe, just maybe, the ending hasn’t been written yet. Unlike a good Agatha Christie page-turner, it’s not that dramatic.

Ellen von Unwerth
S Magazine 8
Interview by Frank P.Lohstoter
Leica Fotografie International, Hamburg 2016, 200 pages, 4°, paperback
euro 90,00
email if you want to buy [email protected]
The S Magazine is a unique platform allowing renowned photographers to give free rein to their visions of fashion and fine-art photography. Exempt from any creative boundaries and constraints, the resulting pictures and videos are powerful, extravagant and full of surprising new perspectives.
With 200 pages, the eighth issue of the S Magazine presents the story of a girl gang in search of happiness in the Wild West – a firework display of romantic, wild, sensual, life-affirming, mysterious and colourful photography – told by Ellen von Unwerth in her inimitable style and produced with a Leica S. German-born Ellen von Unwerth is without a doubt one of the most influential contemporary fashion photographers and also one of the most important female photographers of the past few decades. As, like few others, she is able to mobilize big stars for her projects, such as the singer Marilyn Manson or the millionaire James Goldstein, the young musician Caroline Vreeland as well as the performance artist Millie Brown.
What role does the concept play? How important are spontaneous ideas during a photo shoot? How does a large production develop? What people does she prefer to work with? What female types does she prefer? You can discover this and more about the icon of fashion photography in an interview that we carried out with this exceptional photographer on the occasion of the publication of the Ellen von Unwerth issue of the S Magazine.

YCBK 259: Admission expert Jon Boeckenstedt Interview

Ellen wants to know, should a student submit a perfectly good 32 even if it is below the 25% range, knowing pre-pandemic, in this example, that this was in the 50% range. I would think a good test score would help the student show their academic prowess normally, but with our current naturally inflated test scores, it could hurt them. That is what many families are struggling with

[*] Read PDF Here => Becoming Elisabeth Elliot
Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a violent Amazonian tribe savagely speared her husband Jim and his four colleagues. Incredibly, prayerfully, Elisabeth took her toddler daughter, snakebite kit, Bible, and journal . . . and lived in the jungle with the Stone-Age people who killed her husband. Compelled by her friendship and forgiveness, many came to faith in Jesus. This courageous, no-nonsense Christian went on to write dozens of books, host a long-running radio show, and speak at conferences all over the world. She was a pillar of coherent, committed faith; a beloved and sometimes controversial icon. In this authorized biography, Becoming Elisabeth Elliot, bestselling author Ellen Vaughn uses Elisabeth’s private, unpublished journals, and candid interviews with her family and friends, to paint the adventures and misadventures God used to shape one of the most influential women in modern church history. It’s the story of a hilarious, sensual,

how she was discovered & recruited by the American Symphony Orchestra: During her sophomore year at college, she started posting videos of her playing her violin ( usually when she was alone in the dorm room ). In 2005 she launched a channel on YouTube which also linked back to her MySpace & eventually her Facebook page as well – when she wasn't alone in the videos, her fellow music student roomies were the crowd listening either in the background or seated on the couch to help her slowly get over her fear of playing for others / in front of large crowds. It was in 2005 that the talent scouts for the ASO came to UNM for a talent showcase where she was going to play, knowing they couldn't have her audition yet because she had to graduate but wanted to secure her by offering a position with them ( despite her knowing full well she'd have to audition anyway ).

from the fall of 2007 until the spring of 2018, Mary played 2nd chair for the ASO.
In the spring of 2018 she elected to leave the ASO when given many offers to come and teach music lessons for various places that gave lessons to students.
Since 2016 she's also had a Patreon page that also showcases her & a few other violinists playing music together when not doing shows at Carnegie Hall and Symphony Space.
