Helen Mirren. Baring All At 65.
Hi,
.
I have just been watching the trailer for the new film ‘Red’.
.
It stars Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and the lovely Helen Mirren….she of the red bathing suit eye opener.
.
When I was young she was considered to be extremely sexy and overt with it,
.
The strange….and rare….thing about it is that now she is 65, nothing has changed.
Even Russell Brand has been quoted as saying that ‘Yes, he still would.
Not the usual eh.
.
She bared everyhting in 1979 for her part in the film ‘Caligula*’
At that time she was all of 34 years old.
.
Although she has never seemed inhibited about her body or nudity in films, it still comes as a bit of a surprise to see her in the film ‘Love Ranch. in which she stars with Joe Pesci.
So, at 65, she is baring it all again as a brothel madam
The director on ‘Love Ranch’ being her own husband Taylor Hackford obviously meaning that she can trust him completely in the filming of the scenes.
.
.
.
I am looking forward to seeing the ‘Love Ranch’ and ‘Red’films.
I cannot think of a better way to spend a winter’s evening.
.
Well, I can actually, but I am not going to discuss that with you!

Just goes to show us Jackie, age has nothing to do with how beautiful or sexually attractive people find you. It’s all a matter of confidence
Do send me some good vibes today, I have a dreadful meeting with a dreadful person scheduled and my stomach is in knots !
cheers,
nelly.
Absolutely.
.
You will deal with that person wonderfully.
.
Just tell yourself that you are not going to let them get through to you, you will remain calm, confident and totally in full control of your reactions.
After all, they cannot kill you!
.
My take on you is that you are feisty and clever, and even if you are nervous, no-one else can see it.
So stuff them!
.
See you,
J,x.
.
.
they can’t kill me. they can fire me. i suspect feistiness is what got my in trouble in the first place.
time to update the good ol’ c.v. Anyone in your world looking for a polyglot knowitall
the person is dragging on the meeting, which is cruel.
Here are some interesting things going on in the world
I say interesting with the faintest of smirks:

Hey,
.
A feisty woman is a sexy woman!
It is to be encouraged.
.
Perhaps it is time to prepare the scene for a change of full-time occupation.
You only have one life to spend.
.
Seriously though, have you seen some of the amounts of money that photographers charge to take wedding photographs.
Also the charges that the clients pay, for them to produce an album of the chosen photographs afterwards.
It’s unbelievable!
.
Could you not do this so well?
.
On the bright side, it gets you lots of contacts, if you become the photographer of choice.
.
Brides would probably feel happier talking to a woman…some women I have spoken to, have sometimes felt a bit patronised and uncomfortable, with a male photographer.
.
You could, hopefully, simultaneously develop your art photography more.
.
There would surely be lots of handsome men, all looking their best at weddings….I love them in wedding outfits.
.
You would have a necessary reason to get dolled-up all of the time.
.
You could charge clothes….and shoes…. and hats….as a business expense….BLISS!
.
You would only see thoroughly happy people on the best day of their lives, instead of putting up with dreadful people being dreadful.
.
Plenty of Champagne too.
.
Whoah, sounds like a plan to me!
.
Go on….you know you want to!!!!!

I should hire you as my business manager Jackie! You almost talked me into it
I need a change of environment for the f-t job, my actual occupation is very interesting and slightly unique but I think it needs a supportive and open minded environment in order for me to work/exist happily.
I don’t care much for the weather here anyway, I may as well use the low numbers of new job posts as an excuse to go somewhere nice..
Wedding photography – while appealing – is stressful if it’s not 100% your occupation – and since i’m in between worlds I think I’d be a poor fit for it right now.
Bad timing too.. since I just got into the business of making people look their worst:

^ I’m actually proud of that photo, the man looks nothing like this age-enhanced version of himself.
.
Well, it was an idea anyway.
.
I like to work through different ideas myself…sometimes just imagining things is almost as good as doing ‘em, at least for me!
.
Perhaps you are just having a bad period at the moment….and winter does not help either.
.
If you do decide to make big alterations, then I am sure that you will do so at a time that is correct for you.
And, of course, chance and fate can always intervene at any time in order to bring about changes you could never have imagined previously.
.
Good photo, but I shall have to make sure that you never produce an age-enhanced photo of me because, most unfortunately, I seem to be doing a good job of that with no outside help at all.
.
Take care and have some fun.
