Processions

So last Sunday 10 June marked the centenary if women’s right to vote in UK.  Ireland voted yes to repeal the 8th...  It’s been few amazing weeks for women! Emotions are running high... and frankly I didn’t cry while in the procession, even if it was so emotional and touching... but I balled my eyes today. Trigger was the silly series I watch and some sad stuff happened so I am crying about everything that has happened in few last weeks.  I saw the processions advert in for a while but I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do it so I didn’t singed up... so like a 4-5 days before the event I realised that I am free and I so should do this. With my son.  But he didn’t want to play to start with... so after a slow start and riding on my shoulders he walked most of the way in the sun with super fun processions.  We saw some excellent banners .. Heard some women sing beautifully. And girl guides chanting with all their might. You can see my...

Girl power!

So when I say girl power I don't want to talk about spice girls... But they were empowering and awesome! And some of them became power houses, look at Posh Spice...  Oh sorry kids who were born after 1999 this is Victoria Beckham.  Finally strong females are taking slowly the centre stage! About freaking time I say...  Firstly it is Katniss Everdeen. Admittedly in later films she became a big damaged girl but she's strong! And on my never ending list of things to read.  But how refreshing are shows like Agent Carter. She is not only a super woman but she understands that point in time she was very accepting of her less special role and that "I know what I'm worth" . Gosh just the fact that she knows she's a badass female and doesn't need any male approval....  Then I came across the Blindspot. Not so sure about that but Jane, Jaimie Alexandre cars yet, most definitely a strong female.  But one I really want to talk ab...

Do you love Netflix?  How about the the Netflix own series? I guess everyone been raving about house of cards with Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, I actually haven't watched it yet.  But I enjoyed Hemlock Grove.  So how one would feel about if super funny and talented Tina Fey did a show for Netflix?  If you haven't seen Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt yet you should watch it. It's bananas and this show has a heart!  Basically we watched all the season within few days! With a little man it is like a record. So yeah, it's a show about a girl made by a girl!! WOOOO

Films for girls

Recently I have not been very well. Had this horrible cold and 5 days in still not quiet there yet, but I am better, not great but better. For 3 days I was nesting on the sofa watching films. A lot of them.... but one thing made me super happy was the Pitch Perfect. It is my new favorite film....  It's about girls being friends getting their shit together and stepping up and knowing when to chill da f&%k down.... And then I watched For Good Time, Call... And oh my manolos I found new sex and the city... And it is outrages! Funny! Sexy! Unexpected... Well I am in love!  Watch it! Unless you are easily offended by sex talk, dildos etc. I don't get easily offended...  This film made me think about my old friends who I used to spend most of my time with in Switzerland.  We used to go out together and then meet for coffee next morning to discuss the events of the night before...  I miss this time so...
