Carla
In the midst of the inevitable sadness and heartbreak
following the death of our Mother, there has been a bright moment for our
family this week. Our niece landed a role in a movie!
A freshman in high school, Carla is playing the part of
"Rose" in a period-piece being filmed in Oregon over the next several weeks.
Carla gets to dress-up in fancy costumes - and Carla gets to spend a lot of
time in make up.

No. Not on her face.
The makeup artist does his magic on her back.
"Rose" has been whipped.
Only a glimpse of the wounds and scars will be shown for a
second on the film... but it took hours to apply the graphic details of
abuse.

Gee. I hope you had your coffee this morning before looking
at my beautiful niece.
Here she is, leaving make-up... heading over to get into her
costume... then hair... and makeup on her lovely face.

There. That's better.
Do you think Victorian-period girls had Blackberries?

Until my next update, I remain, your "watch out Angelina"
correspondent.
