Oliver Thornton

This Blog post is dedicated to perhaps one of the most talented men out there. A dazzling star of London's West End showcasing as the one and only Felicia Jollygoodfellow in the show Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and the king of the bedroom as Franknfurter in the Rocky Horror Show 40th Anniversay tour. He is a star of the modern age as well as a hero of the past, if an incredible singing voice wasn't enough his impeccable sense of style can speak for itself whilst reflecting his charming characteristics. Ladies and gentlemen Oliver Thornton:

If you get a chance go and see him in his current project, Aladdin at the New Wimbledon Theater in London, or you can visit his Blog 'Design for Living' which I believe has all of his contact info (eg: Facebook, Twitter, PO Box). If you are reading this Oliver feel free to leave a comment or email/message me :)

 So yeah that's pretty much it, they are all available on Etsy in case you are interested not from the same seller but all the links are in the title of each image. Etsy is a really great site for paper art and if you have a chance to spare a minute then I recommend having a quick look around as it will be worth your while.

It's Kind of a Funny Story

Recently I watched this really great film called it's kind of a funny story. To be honest the only reason I watched it in the first place was because it had Zach Galifinakis (or 'Alan' from the hangover) in it. And I am surprised by how much I enjoyed it actually, it might become one of my top 20 films. 

Basically it is about Craig, a high-school junior, in the gifted program, infatuated with his best friend's girl. When he realizes he's suicidal, he checks himself into the psychiatric ward of a hospital, thinking they'll do an observation, help him, and send him home in time for school the next day. Once in, however, he must stay for a week; the juvenile ward is being renovated, so he's in with adults as well as a few youths. Bobby, a man with a young daughter, shows him around; Craig notices Noelle, about his age. He tries to keep his friends from finding out where he is. And the longer he stays the more he learns about himself and about others.

It sounds kind of lame when you some it up in a synopsis, but it really is a very good story, and definitely  worth watching if you haven't seen it. I also recently discovered its a book as well which honestly I haven't read yet but I very much plan on reading it in the future. If its half as good as the film then I know I'm going to love it.

See ya soon,
