La vampire nue (The Nude Vampire, 1970)

"I've seen this sign before. The woman who saved my life at the townhouse by killing one of the animal men wore the same sign."

"You too will carry the sign one day, like us, like her."

"The girl?"

"She is one of us. You too are one of us. Don't you know that yet?"

Preview- Lips of Blood (Limited Edition 4K UHD Bluray)

One of Jean Rollin’s best-loved films, Lips of Blood (Lèvres de sang) finds the master of the fantastique marshalling all of his obsessions – ruined châteaux, remote beaches, abandoned graveyards, mysterious twins, and female vampires. When a photograph of a decrepit seaside château evokes a childhood vision of an encounter with a mysterious girl, Frederick is compelled to investigate. Soon, he…

Review: Sister Act the Musical, Eventim Apollo

Review: Sister Act the Musical, Eventim Apollo

A megawatts ensemble make Sister Act the Musical enjoyable if expensive at the Eventim Apollo “And when you strut your stuff and do your thing” Truth be told, I don’t think anyone would have picked Sister Act the Musical to still be doing the numbers 15 years or so down the line, but only a fool would discount the star power of Whoopi Goldberg. Originally slated to appear in this revival,…

Amanda Lear nasce come Amanda Tapp il 18 novembre del 1939 a Saigon. Trasferitasi a Parigi dopo aver finito le scuole elementari, studia alla Scuola d'Arte di San Martino di Londra nel 1964. In quel periodo, sale agli onori della cronaca in virtù della sua storia d'amore con Bryan Ferry, frontman dei Roxy Music, e inizia a lavorare come modella per Catherine Harle. La Lear diventa molto richiesta in breve tempo: fa la modella per Paco Rabanne, e viene immortalata dalle macchine fotografiche di Charles Paul Wilp, Helmut Newton e Antoine Giacomoni per testate come "Vogue", "Marie France" ed "Elle". Partecipa, inoltre, a sfilate per Antony Price, Ossie Clark e Mary Quant a Londra, e per Coco Chanel e Yves Saint Laurent a Parigi. Nel frattempo, nel 1965 a Parigi, in un locale chiamato "Le Castel", ha conosciuto Salvador Dalì, eccentrico artista spagnolo che è rimasto immediatamente colpito dall'affinità spirituale che intercorre tra i due. Amanda accompagnerà la vita del pittore surrealista nei successivi quindici anni, passando ogni estate con lui e sua moglie: avrà così l'opportunità di visitare i salotti parigini e scoprire i musei europei, oltre che posare per alcune sue opere quali "Voguè" e "Venus to the Furs". Il nome d'arte Amanda Lear pare sia stato proprio inventato dall'eccentrico pittore, foneticamente affine a amant de Dalí. Protagonista della copertina di "For your pleasure", disco dei Roxy Music del 1973, Amanda appare insieme con David Bowie nella serie tv "Midnight special", sulla Nbc. Sempre con Bowie l'anno successivo registra la sua prima canzone, "Star", che però non viene mai pubblicata. Il suo singolo di esordio sarà, invece, "Trouble", che tuttavia non otterrà il successo sperato, a dispetto delle lezioni di canto frequentate e pagate proprio da Bowie. Del brano, per altro, viene incisa anche una versione francese, che viene notata dall'etichetta Ariola Eurodisc: la casa discografica, tramite il produttore Antony Monn, le propone un contratto di sei dischi e sette anni per una cifra eccezionale. Il disco d'esordio si chiama "I am a photograph", e ottiene un successo strepitoso in Austria e in Germania. In Italia riuscì ad arrivare alla Top 10. Dall'album furono estratti alcuni singoli, tra cui Blood and Honey, Tomorrow e Queen of Chinatown che diventò il suo primo successo a livello europeo. L'album che seguì I Am a Photograph fu Sweet Revenge, un concept album che contiene un medley continuo nel primo lato. L'album riuscì ad arrivare nella Top 10 di alcuni paesi europei e fu certificato Disco d'oro in Germania Ovest e Francia. Dall'album fu poi estratto il singolo di successo Follow Me e la Top 20 Enigma (Give A Bit Of Mmh To Me). Per promuovere l'album Amanda Lear ne cantò le canzoni in varie emittenti televisive in Europa e altrove. In Italia e in Germania la promozione fu continua. Dopo aver preso parte al programma di Raidue "Stryx", dove interpreta il personaggio ambiguo di Sexy Stryx, la Lear nel 1978 ottiene un cameo nella pellicola "Zio Adolfo in arte Fuhrer" e in "Follie di notte", di Joe D'Amato. L'artista, però, non abbandona la carriera musicale, e dà alle stampe "Never trust a pretty face". Negli anni Ottanta, Amanda incide "Diamonds for breakfast", eccezionale successo di vendite in Svezia e in Norvegia, e "Incognito": accolto tiepidamente in Europa, si rivela un successo imprevisto in Sud America; l'unica hit destinata a lasciare il segno, però è "Egal". In Italia conduce "Ma chi è Amanda?" e due edizioni di "Premiatissima" su Canale 5, nel 1982 e nel 1983. Il 1984 è l'anno della pubblicazione di "My life with Dalì", la sua prima autobiografia, intitolata in Francia "Le Dalì d'Amanda". Poi Amanda Lear si dedica nuovamente alla musica dando alle stampe "Secret Passion". La promozione dell'album, tuttavia, va incontro a una pausa forzata, a causa di un incidente automobilistico che coinvolge la Lear, costretta a una convalescenza di diversi mesi.

Il 1988 vede la Lear tornare in vetta alle classifiche musicali con "Tomorrow (Voulez vous un rendez vous)", reinterpretazione di "Tomorrow" realizzata con Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, cantante dei CCCP Fedeli alla linea. Torna in tv nel 1993 nella serie "Piazza di Spagna", in cui interpreta se stessa, e in "Une femme pour moi", film tv di Arnaud Selignac; nel 1998 è la volta de "Il brutto anatroccolo", programma condotto in prima serata su Italia 1 con Marco Balestri. Nel frattempo, ricompare in passerella, sfilando per stilisti come Thierry Mugler e Paco Rabanne. Il nuovo millennio si apre con una tragedia: il marito di Amanda, Alain-Philippe, nel dicembre del 2000 muore a causa di un incendio divampato in casa. La Lear lo ricorda registrando il disco "Heart". In televisione, l'artista presenta "Cockatil d'amore" e "La grande notte del lunedì sera", condotta con Gene Gnocchi. Dopo aver fatto parte, nel 2005, della giuria di "Ballando con le stelle", nel 2008 appare in Francia in "La folle histoire du disco", in Italia in "Battaglia fra sexy star" e in Germania in "Summer of the '70s". Sempre nel nostro Paese, appare in un curioso cameo all'interno della soap opera di Raitre "Un posto al sole", dove interpreta la Morte. Ma gli anni Duemila di Amanda Lear sono contrassegnati anche dal doppiaggio (nel film "Gli incredibili", presta la voce a Edna Mode) e dall'esposizione delle sue opere d'arte: per esempio con la mostra "Never mind the bollocks: here's Amanda Lear", tenuta nel 2006. Dopo essere stata nominata Cavaliere dell'Ordine delle Arti e delle Lettere dal governo francese, nel 2009 pubblica l'album "Brief encounters". In una carriera poliedrica come la sua non può mancare il teatro, e così dal 2009 al 2011 inizia un tour con "Panique au Ministere", spettacolo teatrale che attraversa la Francia, il Belgio e la Svizzera. Dopo aver preso parte, come membro della giuria, a "Ciak, si canta!", varietà in onda su Raiuno, nel 2011 Amanda Lear incide il singolo "Chinese Walk", e interpreta, nuovamente a teatro, la commedia "Lady Oscar". Pittrice, cantautrice, presentatrice, Amanda Lear vive in Francia, a Saint-Etienne-du-Gres, non lontano da Avignone. Dall'inizio della sua carriera, l'artista francese ha dovuto convivere con le dicerie riguardanti la sua sessualità: si diceva, infatti, che Amanda, prima di diventare fotomodella, in realtà fosse un ragazzo, tale Renè Tapp, che si sarebbe sottoposto a un'operazione di cambio di sesso a Casablanca. La stessa Amanda Lear, tuttavia, in più di un'occasione ha smentito le dicerie a tal proposito, sostenendo che si trattava unicamente di una strategia pensata da lei, insieme con Dalì, per attirare l'attenzione e incrementare le vendite dei suoi dischi.

SH:7/ML/E/15/0131

told her as we got to talking more and more as if we should be together    that I thought of taking down the kitchen part castellating the new part and the lodge from the Godley Road and changing the name to Shibden Castle that if I could I would give Saint James’s church a painted window with the likeness of my uncle    that not my sister but the Listers in Wales would be my heirs according to my uncle’s wish that as soon as we had been settled together I would settle Shibden on her for life we talked of the Ainsworths coming to Cliff hill and getting Lightcliffe chapel for him she might be able to get the archbishop’s interest with our vicar I feared that might be refused but I could perhaps apply to the vicar thro’ the next best channel (meaning but not saying so Lord Wharncliffe)   as it became dusk we crept closer and I without any resistance got for the first time right middle finger up her queer at three separate times she nothing loth but evidently excited liking it and wet  and taking it altogether as if she had learnt her lesson before in this way too  as well as in kissing    she whispered that she loved me then afterwards said that her mind was quite unmade up and bade me not be sanguine  the name of Cliff hill escaped me and she burst into tears  and said if she could regret it at that moment what should she do afterwards    how can I tell what to make of her?    she had casually said Catherine Rawson had often said she should like to live with her    they had long ago talked of it but now and of late she had thought it would not answer and was getting off thought then my surmise was probably true when I fancied that Catherine’s classics might have taught her the trick of debauching Miss W- yes yes Miss W- has been taught by someone    we agreed we could not be quite common friends again and yet her cool advice to me just before leaving her    not to hope too much    sickened me at heart and I said to myself as I walked along damn her she is an old hand and has nor shame nor anything she certainly takes all very much like one of the initiated home in ½ hour or 25 minutes at 6 50 – drizzling rain – rain more or less all the day, changed my clothes – dinner at 7 ½ - came into the little room at 8 ½ - wrote the above of today till 9 ¼ - found very kind letter 3 pp. and ends from Mrs. Norcliffe (Langton) will be glad to see me at L- and asks why I should not spend the winter in Bath – poor Mrs. James Dalton has fallen and put out her ankle – Charles and James H- were to fasten railing at the bottom of the Dolt walk, and ditto that against Wellroyde wood – except this nobody working (by day) for me read part of the paper – came upstairs at 9 55 – drizzly, rainy day and evening [?] about 8am – F63 ½° at 10 pm

Dear diary,

A review for thought on King Henry the 8th's wives~

I feel the most fortunate were the following,

1. Queen Catherine, she was a dutiful queen in all the ways one would expect of queen during that time period and she loved Henry, truly so much so that I wonder if she loved him even as she took her last breath, rather a tragic story but more so than juliet and romeo for she didnt have the comfort of having her romeo beside her when death came.

2. Lady/Queen Seymour, a gentle lady the picture of elegance and certainly she left with her reputation intact as she had little enemies to spread rumours, she gave birth to only male heir Henry would ever have and thus would remain a favorite in his heart for giving him a son but she sadly died as well.

3. Anne of Cleaves, she did not perish but no did she stay married to the king, likely in all due respect for the betterment of her own life considering his previous wives fates. She was treated with respect and as family member but the respect being the key thing as even if you were family to Henry it wouldn't guarantee his affection or protection.

The most tragic fates I think were the following,

1. Queen Anne Boleyn, people either love her or hate her but she was witty and stood up firmly for her beliefs unfortunately she made a lot of enemies and ultimately died due largely to unfavorable public opinion of her and her lack of ability to bring Henry the promised son.

2. Catherine Howard, this poor girl. How I pity her, used by other people to get into the king's Grace's and falling for him as he did her for she was rumored a great beauty. She was young, how can you expect a 19 who never had any training in royal duties to know how to run a country? She wanted to wear the pretty gowns, dance at balls and have fun, I mean if I were a princess I admit I'd enjoy such frivolities, sadly she did not keep favor with the king and lost her life.

So yes note of caution while being a princess and living in a castel may seem like a dream come true, there is much more responsibilities one has, to provide for one's citizens and govern the kingdom. Which is why practically speaking you are better off being a bakers daughter or a wealthy mid class daughter as not to have such serious responsibilities that will often involve your life being threatened.
