Worst Office Freak Out Ever

The Times of Harvey Milk

For those of you who saw and got moved by the film about Harvey Milk I can highly recommend the Oscar winning 1984 documentary The Times of Harvey Milk. For those of you in the US, you can rent it on iTunes for $2.99. And the rest of you lot can order it on Amazon or download it here. We were deeply moved by watching it. As it's filmed just 6 years after the horrific event took place it give a whole new perspective to the story. The interviewed colleagues and friends of Harvey struggle in front of the camera to keep their tears away. And just the thought that Dan White was still alive sends chills down our spine. Harvey Milk said If a bullet should enter my brain, let the bullet destroy every closet door. He was and still is a true inspiration to keep on living and fighting for equal rights and for those less fortunate who do not have a voice of their own.

Monday, Tuesday

Thanks to Gottegrisen we can't get enough of this clip! Dalida performing one of her biggest hits Monday, Tuesday Laissez-moi danser in 1979. It is pure perfection with the dancers and the old disco queen. It's weird to think that Dalida less than 10 years after this joyus performance killed herself using barbiturates in 1987; thinking life wasn't worth living. Rest in peace!

Life Through a Lens

We saw the documentary about Annie Leibovitz (made by her sister) a while back. We can highly recommend it and we were impressed by the frankness and strength of this iconic photographer. Watch the trailer here.
