I didn't think the second season of "Run The world" would work with out Ella (Andrea Bordeaux) but oddly the show still works as a trio.
Hopefully, at some point Ella will return though.

I want to fight Whitney. She had plenty of time to come up with something good to say to Ola. But he’s standing in front of her she says “what else do you want from me?” WHAT, bitch!?! That’s it? Cheated on Ola with that a gremlin Smdh
I honestly won’t miss Ella. Her character barely added anything to the plot anyways. Adios

Dark Skin Directory
I did one of these for my sideblog BlackFemmeCharacterDependency (BFCD) and... While it’ll take longer on this end to do because there are more prominent figures here than on that one, I thought it would be good to also have one for my main...
EDIT: Okay, so the one that I did for BFCD does not work, so I am posting this one to see if it works, and if not, they’ll both be WIPS until I have the time to repair them
For the purposes of this list and on this page, whenever I say “dark skinned,” I mean a traditional brown crayon or darker. I grew up around Black people, so the words “dark skinned” do not mean the same thing to me as it do to nonblacks.

Non so se avete presente quelle situazioni tipo quando sei in ferie da qualche parte e c'è un evento improbabile nei pressi, roba a cui non saresti mai andato ma non hai una mazza da fare (parlo di tempi in cui non avevo una mazza da fare) e decidi di farci un salto. Ecco, anni fa finii così a vedere in una chiesa montana un concerto di musica barocca per viola e clavicembalo.
Pur avendo mietuto qualche vittima fra gli astanti (fra le panche della chiesa si vedevano almeno un paio di teste reclinate in postura più da riposo che da ascolto) personalmente mi acchiappò parecchio, soprattutto quel pezzaccio di  “Folies d’Espagne” di Marin Marais. Avevano pure un CD che si auto-vendevano e lo andai a pigliare; anche se la cosa più vicina alla musica barocca che conoscevo erano le vignette di Sardelli, mi sentii in dovere di fare qualche apprezzamento al violista dicendo che il suo strumento aveva un gran suono, o qualcosa del genere. A quel punto intervenne la mogliera del violista a dire che forse pure suo marito aveva qualche merito nel gran suono e io diventai un poco bordeaux tentando di spiegare che volevo poi dire che mi era piaciuto molto come suonava e di riflesso si imbarazzò pure lui dicendo che, sì, aveva capito l’apprezzamento e ad entrambi credo si rafforzarono alcuni stereotipi di genere sulle mogliere.
Ora, io nella mia vita ho vissuto tanti momenti significativi il cui ricordo si è fortemente appannato quando non scomparso del tutto, ma questi momenti di grande inutilità e piccoli disagi tendo a ricordarmeli come se fossero successi ieri e in momenti casuali, tipo oggi. Pazienza.
Grazie alla magia delle interwebs ho recuperato analogo concerto più recente dello stesso duo (Andrea Maini e Marco Vincenzi) che pur con tutti i limiti di un audio registrato apparentemente con la cornetta di un Siemens S62 regala un certo numero di emozioni, in particolare nella già citata Folies d’Espagne: https://youtu.be/rH3WeBIWf2M?t=961

Conversazioni di stile È sempre un piacere confrontarsi con le nuove generazioni e scoprire come lo stile non è solo frutto di esperienza e vissuto, ma una dote innata. Andrea Canonaco è un giovane attore che si è trovato sorprendente a suo agio con uno dei nostri abiti più rigorosi, un doppiopetto dal fit asciutto, svuotato di ogni struttura, eppure impeccabile, a cui ha voluto dare un tocco “preppy” con il mocassino con morsetto bordeaux. Una scelta azzeccata per un uso formale ma disinvolto. La location non poteva essere migliore, un’oasi di sofisticata tranquillità nel frenetico e multietnico caos di Piazza della Rotonda: il bar dell’Antico albergo del Sole al Pantheon. . —————————————— In shop ed online —————————————— George’s uomo via del Pantheon 58 Roma 📞066794456 www.georges.it [email protected] Info e direct order Whatsapp & voice 📲3479604054. ——————————————— #menstyle #gentlemanstyle #menswear #georgesroma #georgesuomo #talkingaboutstyle #igersitaly #italianstyle #italianlifestyle #luxurylifestyle #moderngentleman (presso Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkjPwySqoiN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Abigail Child has been at the forefront of experimental writing and media since the 1980s, having completed more than thirty film/video works & installations, and written 6 books. An acknowledged pioneer in montage, Child addresses the interplay between sound and image, to make, in the words of LA Weekly: “brilliant exciting work…a vibrant political filmmaking that’s attentive to form.”   Her films rewrite narrative, creating the cult classics PERILS, MAYHEM and COVERT ACTION (1984-87). Other productions borrow documentary to poetically envision public space including B/Side (1996) and SURF AND TURF (2011). Child’s re-constructed home movie THE FUTURE IS BEHIND YOU (2004) served as inspiration for UNBOUND: Scenes from the life of Mary Shelley shot as imaginary home movies. In recent years, Child has expanded her vertical montage to multiple-screen installation with MIRRORWORLDS and THE MILKY WAY. ACTS AND INTERMISSIONS, the second in her trilogy on Women and Ideology, circling around the life of Emma Goldman and a history of protests, premiered at The Museum of Modern Art’s Doc Fortnight in February 2017.
Child is the principal director, cinematographer and editor on her films. Cultural displacements, mostly urban ones, have been at the heart of her concerns. Her work involves intimate collaborations, with poets: Monica de la Torre (To and No Fro), Gary Sullivan (Mirror World), Nada Gordon (Ligatures) and Adeena Karasick (Salomé) as well as with notable downtown composers including John Zorn (The Future Is Behind You), Ikue Mori (B/side, 8 Million), Zeena Parkins (Unbound, Mayhem), Christian Marclay (Mayhem, Surface Noise) and Andrea Parkins (Vis A Vis and Acts and Intermissions). Child is currently working on the last film in the trilogy "The Andriod Project" (wt).
Her films, compulsive visual and aural legerdemain, have been widely awarded and shown internationally. Child has been honored with a Rome Prize Fellowship (09-10), as well as a John Simon Guggenheim, Radcliffe Institute and Fulbright Fellowships. She is winner of the Stan Brakhage Award, and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, Jerome Foundation, LEF Foundation, Mass Arts Council, and Art Matters. Child's film and media works have been exhibited worldwide, in venues including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Biennial Exhibitions (1989+1997); Centre George Pompidou, Paris; Rotterdam International Film Festival; New York Film Festival; CAPC Musée, Bordeaux; Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid; Pacific Film Archives, Berkeley; and festivals in Oberhausen, Locarno, Berlin, Toronto, Brazil, Mexico City and Seoul, among many others. Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art New York and Centre Pompidou among others. Harvard University Cinematheque has created an “Abigail Child Collection” which will preserve and exhibit her films. 
Child is also a writer with more that 5 books and numerous chapbooks. Her critical study, THIS IS CALLED MOVING: A Critical Poetics of Film (2005) is the only critical book written by an active American artist/filmmaker in over two decades. Her book of poetry MOUTH TO MOUTH came out in 2016, courtesy of Eoagh Press and was honored with a Lambda Prize in 2017. Child is Emeritus Professor of Media at Tufts University, the SMFA, and lives and works in New York City.

Eleanor Louise Reynard Biography
Eleanor Reynard was born in 1772 in Bordeaux, the eldest of three daughters and eldest sister to one brother; Béatrice, Sophie, Angélique and Alexandre (twins). Eleanor had always dreamed of a new life, of new places to visit and had been called the dreamer of the family. She was well aware of her duty as the eldest, to make a good match and help improve through that match the prospects and position of the rest of the family. This pressure in part was why she fled into literature, stories and dreams. She was particularly obsessed with the stars and the stories connected with them. Eleanor's true strength however was in how intuitive she was, seeming to understand people's emotions easily and to soothe and support them accordingly.
Her parents, as a concession to what their daughter wished and what they wished, agreed to a match with a man in the colonies. Eleanor had her aspiration of a new land to explore and her parents had a match for their daughter. Tensions had been building and Bernard Reynard was keen to send Eleanor first and then for the rest of the family to follow. It was clear to him that France was no longer the best place to be. Eleanor made the crossing in September 1788 and was married to Francois Courtenay in the spring of the next year in Baton Rouge. Béatrice remained after Eleanor's wedding being only 2 years younger and was later married off to Andreas Demontreville.
Eleanor got on well enough with her husband and found this new land to be rather fascinating. It was of comfort to her to have her sister so close. Unfortunately for Eleanor, she would not see the rest of her family. Revolution broke out in 1789, not even 1 year after her marriage and the news was devestating. Eleanor withdrew for a period of time and although Francois was initially understanding but quickly became insistent that she pull herself together and do her duty and give him the family he had been promised by their marriage. Eleanor couldn't possibly comprehend being a mother while still grieving and she looked desperately for a way out of the situation she had found herself in with a husband growing increasingly impatient and more violent. He never struck her but he did go out of his way to intimidate and frighten her. Perhaps it was this that drew the attention of a sharp eyed vampire who found her beauty to be beyond alluring at several season events that she was forced to regularly attend with her husband. They formed a friendship, her and Lucian, through their common interest in the stars and astronomy and shared correspondence for some time under the illusion of it being Béatrice that she was writing with. It wasn't long before Francois figured out what was going on and after trashing the house, he locked her in her room and insisted that she remains there until she learned proper behaviour for a young lady. Eleanor was 19 and her life quickly became confined to her room with her only contact being the servants dressing her, delivering her food and Francois visiting her in the hope that she would conceive.
It did not take long for Lucian to uncover what had happened and he was furious. Under the cover of night, he found Eleanor, revealed what he was and then offered to share this with her so that she could truly be liberated and free. Eleanor, desperate by this point, agreed and Lucian whisked her away, taking her far from Louisiana, showing her more of America. Eleanor attempted to change her identity to a degree, casting off Eleanor and going by the pet name that Lucian had given her; Nora.
Lucian and Nora travelled North and were nomadic together for decades. They were horrified when the vampire wars broke out and Nora begged Lucian to stay well away but he had come from the same site as Benito so he left to support him and was ultimately killed by the Volturi. Nora was left entirely on her own at this point, her heart having been broken again. What she had shared with Lucian was beyond any romantic based attraction but was more the deeper intimacy of found family. She took his loss badly but did not have it in her heart to seek vengeance.
Nora continued to wander the continent. She considered returning to Europe where she had come from but ultimately decided that she wasn't ready to confront that pain. Every time she thought of it, she pictured Angélique and Alexandre clinging to her skirts terrified and crying as they always had done after their nightmares. She could not dream but she could daydream and these visions haunted her as they morphed from that innocent scene to the doors being broken down and the twins being wrenched from her, their screams ringing in her ears.
As Nora travelled further North, she found her way to Alaska and there encountered the Denali coven who were more than willing to welcome her. Nora found peace of a sort with them and stayed with them for a few decades before deciding that she needed to strike back out on her own. It was through the Denali that she met Carlisle and then his extended family as time passed on.
Nora prefers to live a more nomadic lifestyle due to the intensity of her ability and how difficult it can become. She was always going to be vegetarian and follow that lifestyle because her gift made it incredibly difficult to feed from humans. Nora has the ability to see emotions and energy in humans as a spectrum of colours. When she makes skin to skin contact, she can feel their emotions as her own, as though her body is drinking them in, absorbing them. She cannot control them and influence them like Jasper Hale and it is because of this that she finds it difficult to be among others for too long or to be in built up areas for too long. Nora wears gloves that vast majority of the time. After years of practice with Lucian's guidance, she was able to limit this to her hands only rather than her whole body. She still sees the colour spectrum of emotions like aura's around others and that can also become overwhelming.
