Iconic Women Featured in the Movies

Julia Child, Georgia O'Keefe, Coco Chanel


Just a few weeks back I caught a great flick, Julie and Julia, at a local theater. It is based on the lives of two women, the famous French Chef, Julia Child and a young women named Julie who challengers herself to cook every recipe in Child's book, The Art of French Cooking, and do it in one year. Meryl Streep portrays Julia Child--you will fall in love with the actress and Julia Child--and Amy Adams plays the driven young Julie.
If you haven't seen it go!! There's nothing like the big screen. Check out the trailer at http://www.julieandjulia.com/.


One Night Only, September 19: Lifetime Channel presents an original movie, Georgia O'Keefe, based on the life of the renown female artist. The feature starts off in O'Keefe's early years as a fiercely independent and then unknown female artist who falls in love with famed photographer and art impresario Alfred Stieglitz. Alfred becomes her benefactor and champions her artistry. They become lovers, but eventually the relationship suffers as O'Keefe becomes a rising star poised to eclipse Alfred's light. Alfred becomes vindictive in his attempts to emotionally wound her. Georgia's search for solace moves her west where she finds new inspiration for her paintings, and ultimately her own voice - in the New Mexico landscape.
Academy award and Golden Globe nominee, Joan Allen co-stars with Jeremy Irons.


Coco Before Chanel opens in major theaters September 25. Audrey Tautou stars as legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel. Based on the Chanel biography L'Irreguliere (The Nonconformist) by author Edmonde Charles-Roux. I've read another biography on Coco so I really get her nonconformist ways and I like her a lot. The epic features dresses from the Chanel collection.

Pass the popcorn please.

Artist Displays Native American Children's Regalia at Charleston Antique Mall

Artist, Laurieta Carter, is presenting her impressive display of Native American children's regalia at the Charleston Antique Mall in Las Vegas. Carter, a member of the Las Vegas Paiute tribe, has been making Pow Wow regalia worn in ceremonies and dance competitions for about 13 years. Carter said that along with the movements and precision of the dancer, the regalia is part of the judging criteria in dance competitions.
The Jingle Dress shown in the photo above is predominately turquoise and yellow. The trimmings are metal cones made from tobacco tin lids to create jingling sounds as the dancer moves. The Fancy Shawl and the Grass Dancer Dress are also shown in the display along with many other Native American ceremonial regalia Carter hand created for her four children.
The display correlates with the 100 Years of Fashion Exhibit at the Charleston Antique Mall, 307 W. Charleston Blvd in Las Vegas. Open daily, the free exhibit runs through April 18, 2009.
