A look at 'Ma Vie en Rose'

Credit: http://imperfectu.com/festival/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/MA+VIE+EN+ROSE1.jpg

With all this bathroom hoohah going about, I remembered in particular a Belgian film, 'Ma vie en rose'. (one of the best, IMHO) It involves the troubles that a transgender girl is having. There is one scene when Ludovic (Georges du Fresne) takes Jerome (Julien Riviere) to the bathroom to prove that she is, indeed, a girl. It only lasts a second or two, but a girl passes by them in the bathroom. Um, a unisex bathroom.

The movie is almost twenty years old.

When, oh when, will the United States learn? Just askin'...

Yay Jaclyn Smith!

I was on a computer when I saw Jaclyn Smith, spoofing a nut who was making a TOTAL arse out himself by praising the "virtues" of Donald Trump for president. Enjoy it yourself, or pass it along to a Trump-lover. He/she will be ashamed, I'm sure. (I hope....) Anyhow, enjoy!
