I've said it before,
but I say it again - you all must watch "All About My Mother," a beautiful, heartwrenching movie about the women who made us what we are, and dedicated to them, too."Look at this body. All made to measure. Almond-shaped eyes, 80,000. Nose 200,000... but if you're a flamenco diva, you'll need more. Well, as I was saying, it costs a lot to be authentic, ma'am. And one can't be stingy with these things because you're more authentic the more you resemble what you've dreamed you are." I'm crying, of course, and Madaline, too. These are the stories of all of our lives, even if they don't all involve cross-dressers.

Loved that movie - actually I enjoy a lot of the Spanish movies, even though they can be very strange. :)If you are online at all tomorrow - please look me up if you have AIM - Leia450....I'm hoping to have my final law applications complete by Tuesday. :) Thanks!!
