Women of the 1950's were transitional-that is, they were betwixt what Richard Pryor referred to as the “Great Pussy Drought” and the era of sexual liberation of the 1960's and beyond. One such woman, Ann Devereau, the actor George Hamilton's mother, fled her philandering husband in 1953 in a baby blue Cadillac Coupe de Ville convertible, her sons in tow. Now her cross-country journey has been made into the film, My One and Only, starring Renee Zellweger and featuring a car load of character actors from Chris Noth to Troy Garity, Eric McCormack, and Nick Stahl, each one portraying a would-be suitor, as a woman then was simply defined by, legitimized by, respected through her marriage. Kevin Bacon plays her bandleader husband in this beautifully shot road movie. This picaresque of adventure after poignant adventure with disappointing men reminds us of the long way women have come. Her son George, the one who grows up to become the famous actor, is a break through role for the very talented Logan Lerman. After a private screening at Goose Creek in East Hampton, Zellweger sat with her parents for a Mexican dinner at Blue Parrot, partly owned by Jon Bon Jovi who greeted friends celebrating the new film. The party was sponsored by Carolina Herrera, who designed Zellweger's gown for her Oscar win as Best Supporting Actress in “Cold Mountain." Chatting at one table was Bob Colacello, the Vanity Fair writer who rightly proclaimed that this restaurant retained the feel of the old Hamptons; art dealer Larry Gagosian reminded everyone of how George Hamilton was always seen sunning with a visor to intensify the rays; designer Marc Jacobs in signature kilt and Doc Martens hugged Gagosian as he spoke, and handsome Argentinian Nacho Figueras, was so old-school gentlemanly he kissed my hand as we were introduced. He loves Montauk best of all the towns out east, the world famous polo player said, but he has to live in Bridgehampton, near his horse. Producer Norton Herrick, a real estate mogul from New Jersey, talked about his career turn to film, about distributing this gem himself. George Hamilton, deeply tanned, was looking ahead. He loved the way he was depicted in the movie, he told me, and wished he could be that young star, starting out now.

Good evening to you all, it is a pleasure for me to comment on an article as interesting as this!
I can only think it goes back to rationing (during WW2) -and wasting nothing. Here, the kids barely eat what is served at the party and certainly nobody takes anything home. The waste is unbelievable.LikeLike

Ce que je trouve fascinant avec les festivités traditionnelles Basques c’est qu’elles ne sont pas là pour les touristes. Les gens du cru viennent en masse. La danse basque, comme beaucoup de danses traditionelles en Europe, comporte des costumes chatoyants et des sauts!

Tomorrow is December already! Can you believe it? In Japanese, December is called “SHIWASU,” which means “monks running around.” This word aptly describes the busiest month of the year in Japan. Why is December so busy?

The happy couple dispensed with some traditional elements, but kept others. Rather than walking alone down the aisle to the tune of Here Comes The Bride, Sarah arrived hand-in-hand with Sam, accompanied by the joyous rinaadvging of bicycle bells, and the two ducked under the chuppah.
