A new show, now!

My partnair in the play “Chagrin d’Amour” by the author Guitry, stopped one day the theater without saying nothing to our teacher. He disappeared simply, after four months of repetitions and stage. Of course he didn’t know his text still but the other players, yes. I even had a coach who was learning the song “Chagrin d’Amour” to me so that people could appreciate a little this delicious song, the day of the show!

So we staid without voice Claude, the teacher, Mireille, Nicolas and me when all our plan felt in water!

What could we do when we know that the show will take place at the end of juni.

We decided to abandon “Chagrin d’amour” and to play three little “Café-Théâtre” sketches created by the french author Catherine Blanchard.

Now I begin again to learn the sketches. Of course it takes time but in the same time when I will know them I will have a lot of fun to entry in these hilarious situations and crazy plays!!!

Tonight, we had a repetition at “Le vieux Moulin”, a fabulous typical provençal place! We had a lot of fun and laugh!

I must say my characters are particulary crazy and ridiculous!!! I say no more…The only thing I expect people won’t recognize me during the show with makeup and costums!!!

I will visit you now and wish you all a fabulous weekend!!

Mélissa and Ticoune tell you this week…

about Stephen king and the cats!

Stephen King and Clovis



Stephen King’s cats

Stephan King, famous author of fantastic novels uses often surnaturel animals in his stories. Sometimes cats can be the principal characters where they are more heros than monsters. The author has a good sens of observation and the cats and their reactions are so realistic that they become really frightening.

In Cat’s eyes this is a cat which makes the lien between the different parts of the full lengh film. The cat is seen as positive power wich wants to save a little girl after she was appeared to him calling for help. After several adventures with unpleasing characters, the cat and the child meet themselves but the animal is persecuted by the mother of the child. The real probleme in fact is a bad goblin living behind a plinth. At the end the cat kills the goblin and saves the little girl.

In another film, Tales from the dark side, based on another novels’ book of King, the cat put humans under its influence. The story, Cat from Hell is this of Drogan a medecin maker who uses thousands of cats in his laboratory. Persecuted by a stray felin, he believes this one wants to kill him. Dragon employes a killer to kill the cat but the felin takes possesion of the body of the man and kill him and even Drogan. The productors were worried because the felins’ lovers could find this cat very bad when a big part of the action is seen through the cat’s eyes. But in fact, with contrast, the humen acts look more frightened.

In the film, Sleepwalkers, a cat is the star. It’s a tale about a mother and her son. These two characters are in the same time felin, reptile and humans. Domestic cats and a cat called Clovis are the ennemies of these monster creatures. When they capture young virgins to satisfy their metabolism, cats of the neighbourhood with Clovis as guide have a meeting in front of their house and win the battle against them.

Protect your family and friends (here Mélissa’s birthday with the family and friends)

Protect your morale and take good time like my daughter Anaïs who loves singing and playing guitar.

Protect your traditions and don’t forget the old time. Here the traditional costums of Provençal women.

And the tradition of Bacchus! It doesn’t mind drink too much but tasting a traditional wine is so delicate …

when you eat traditional food and not fast food. (here italian cheese : Parmigiano-Reggiano )

And protect your patrimony ‘here the Poppes’ Palace or Le Palais des Papes en Avignon, South of France.

Protect your environement, flora and fauna, thinking we live all on the same planet and we are all depending each others. It’s a challenge for us and the future generations.

and of course, protect LOVE because when you are in love you are walking on air!!!!

If you need more PROTECTION have a look here!

Sailor cats!

Sailor cats !

COT

Sailors have often superstitious temper. They like to have cats aboard, wich will bring them happiness during the sail – and will catch the rats in the ship. Cats are nice friends, players and affectionate even if they don’t like water generally, they seem well adapted aboard. Implantation of cats through the world is the consequence of the affinity between sailors and feline .This affinity is dated since Ancient Egypt. They had an important roll and were respected as members on the boat.Sailors cruised during months, years through the sea. They elaborated their own religion, a melting of pratical feelings and heresy. Church convicted cats “ Satan’s disciple ”. But sailors had too much good feelings and didn’t hear this sentence.Sailors thought cats brought luck, they had a power and averted bad weather. In that feeling, the sailors’ women kept a cat at home to ward off the sea tragedy. If a cat was coming near a sailor on the bridge it was a sign of chance. But if it retourned half of the way it was a bad sign.They thought cats could create a storm with their tail. The badest thing to do was to throw a cat in the sea. The consequence was a terrible storm and nine years of bad luck ;In reality cats are extremely sensible when the weather changes. And a variation of the atmospheric pressure can makes they become nervous.Through the time, commerce and war, wich never stopped and diveded , make cats were estimated and they did long cruise and many rats’ dinners.

Marianne’s kitty, (friend of my daughter Mélissa), presented you this report about the Sailors’ Cats!

Family cats at home is nice and happy as ever and wait of course summer because it doesn’t like a lot rain we have since a fiew days!

They are ready for a great Party by the neighbor. When they arrived in the night at home from the party, I asked them if they had find their Prince but they answered : ” no, we saw always the same heads ! ” Of course, those teenagers are all at the same lyceum and they see themselves every day of the schoolyear !

The other pictures were taken the 2th april when we went my friends and me for a walk at le Parc de la Méditerranée in Six-Fours. It was a beautiful sunny day and we enjoyed walking along the sea cliff.

are you mini skirt too?

Mary Quant

The miniskirt : a revolution in the

sixties fashion

The miniskirt has revolutionized the sixties unveiling the women legs as never as before. Two names, Mary Quant and André Courrèges, have been connected with this creation, wich is still wearing today straight or pleated. It was created in England for the first time before to conquer France and finally be popularized fast all over the world.

The first one was sold in 1962, in a clothes shop of Kings Road, Chelsea London, called Bazaar. This miniskirt, so short for that time was imagined by Mary Quant, a young fashion self-taught stylist who had created this model for herself and for her girlfriends in first time.

At this time, the miniskirt, made the women could exprime and show to all people around them they existed and they were now independant and free, particulary in front of the paternal autority for wich they had the biggest respect. Women wanted to provoke the men and be considered on a same equality’s plan in order to show they were free with their acts . The miniskirt was the big independence’s symbol for the women.

In the fashion’s world, the sixties are a turning point : this is the period of the the economical bang, the american culture spread, the liberation of the way of life, the contestation wich upset the standards.

In some lands as Netherland, this clothes was even prohibited because judged too much provocative.

Even when the contraceptive pill appears on the market in 1961 , this clothes had been regarded as a liberation symbol.The filiform top-model Twiggy, who defiles with Mary Quant’s miniskirt, becomes the personnification of this revolution.
The textil industry popularizes the miniskirt in order to women and teenagers can appropriate themselves the miniskirt for a modest price.

Its succes marks the beginning of the pantihose’ s era and the stocking’s end .

I find now the miniskirt shouldn’t provoc chocs no more, but it sounds be still a source of provocation for some people in fonction of their education. I find that ridiculous. But this is a reality and the value of its symbol seems to loose its sens.

“This is the “talk”, Mélissa presented at school. She told me her teacher liked it and talked to them the way she had lived this period. She wasn’t in the spirit miniskirt at this time and she was very shy. Today she’s the contrary. Nice for her!

You can find still some errors in this homework because the teacher didn’t give her the correction still.

Twiggy the mary Quant’s top model.

As Mélissa I find the miniskirt was a nice invention and you?

Jazz concert in Ollioules tonight!

claudie — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 22:44:40 +0000

Nice saturday evening with a Jazz concert organized by the Ollioules’ Municipality.

Double bass: Damien

Piano: Enzo

Battery: Cédric

Enzo is our neighbor and was at school with Anaïs, my daughter. He is a brilliant medical student and a music virtuoso in the same time.

Couldn’t imagine having such tallents at 22 years old. And a so nice and modest guy!

The Mayor of the town, Robert, was really under the charm of the music. He offered an olive tree baby, to each musician at the end. (I told you Ollioules=Olive in provençal language!)

It was a beautiful jazzy evening.

They played “You must believe in spring”, one of the compositions we appreciated particulary Mireille and me. (Mireille is a girlfriend I knew at the theater school, this year.)

“You Must Believe in Spring is the title of a song from the 1967 film Les Demoiselles de Rochefort. The song was composed by French composer Michel Legrand, under the name “Chanson de Maxence”. Wikipedia !

For a little Jazz Party, click here!

And here specially for Mr Lifecruiser, Lover of our Captain’! as I know he loves playing piano!

A hard week!

The first choc was when I heard on the radio the words of the Pope about the condoms during his visit in Cameroun.

I just heard a statistical survey and I’m glad about its result: 57 % of french people don’t like this pope and 55 % of catholic people too! (right or wrong it doesn’t import to me , I was glad hearing this).

Africa is a marvelous continent but so many people are in such terrible situation. We have to help them to live better respecting their specificities and not help them to pass away!

The second choc was when I red the magazine “Le Point” I bought at the supermarket! A such big tittle:

“The freemasons of Sarkozy” where I found an extract of a book called “A State in a State” by Sophie Coignard.

I really enjoy to live in a democraty and read such articles.

You learn that Sarkosy isn’t a member of freemasons but he employs them around him in order to receive their collaboration and to send them his messages about the way he wants to manage the State! He would even sign some old letters with 3 points; the sign to recognize a freemason in order to make the recipient believes he is a freemason and realizes his wish ! Ha! Ha! right or wrong this time I couldn’t stop to laugh because I imagined him and the three points!!!!! “…”

Sarkosy is really cunning as a fox!

You learn here that They have a real power about the nomination  of politic’s key positions and the same for the management of the biggest public enterprises.

So, now it’s clear that if you have  ambition choose to be freemason!

Somewhere the situation is really shocking when you read that several years ago, the prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin had difficulties to choose the manager of one of the biggest public entreprise and suffered pressures by the “Fraternal organisation”.

I was really angry. Why need people such organisation knowing they loose their freedom and have to forget their dignity because they have to do what the organization wants and not what they would want perhaps to do.

The basic citizen thinks things are simple and believes each word of our Constitution and its preambule wich is inspired by the Declaration of Human Rights. He imagines the best after reading that.

Bref, this is the reason french people love the “Guignols“!

Humor! Humor! to keep the moral above all!

In a third time the big strike on thursday 1,3 million people in street said the police when 3 millions according a Union for the result: the governement said we won’t do anything after this strike! We’ve done all already!

and too bad for those who have lost or will lose their jobs!

and for those who can’t no more feed their family!

In Marseille the parade was 9 km along.

I think people ask to be recognized by the governement because they are afraid by the economical situation.

On friday, it was raining so we didn’t do the parade around the school and we staid in the classroom with all the pupils costumed! We report the carnival parade next week if the sun is ok!

I don’t speak about my feeling on friday evening! After the journey with the kids so excited by the little fest in the classroom!

I was total KO when I arrived at the theater school!

Today, I was like a zombi at home!

I decided to stop hearing and reading the news. I just could open the radio and listen classic music like mozart or the King Arthur opera.

I did a little siest in the afternoon.

And I did a dream! this was my vision!

Nooooooooo!
