More shameless self promotion?
http://www.journalism.indiana.edu/news/050905spj/ I went to the Cannes Film Festival Saturday afternoon through Sunday. Everywhere you looked people were dressed in floor-length gowns and tuxedos, so you can imagine how well we fit in with bags and traveling cloths and a tent (for we camped not far from the beach). Everything was sooooo over-the-top. We happened upon a red-carpet for a premier of a Chinese film that I didn't recognise, but we were first in line to watch all the stars go by, really just by chance. There weren't any American actors or actresses until the very end, when people started going crazy and more photographs went off than I thought humanly possible. And who was it? None other than Mischa Barton (who looked PHENOMINAL - how does she do it?) And all I could think was LINDSEY AND MIRANDA SHOULD BE HERE!! (and the other lovers, but Lindsey and Miranda would have appreciated it the most).
By Sunday we were sick of all the hype and stayed away from the action and layed on a beach down the road from all the premiers. I layed on the beautiful beach all day long and swam in the Mediterranian - that beats seeing ANY stars ANY day.
