Wondering

 

Here I was, thinking, I really must come up with something to post about, that’s not a frock, or otherwise completely shallow.

And then I read this:

The week before we met, Jane Campion, publicising her new film Bright Star at the Cannes Festival, grumbled about the “old boy network” of the Hollywood studios, lamented the lack of opportunities for female directors and declared with righteous gynocratic outrage: “After all, women did give birth to the whole world!”

When I read the remark, I crossed my legs in self-preserving alarm. Was I due to interview Gaia, Magna Mater, the antipodean incarnation of Mother Earth?

I believe the author goes on to be more complimentary about Ms Campion, but I’m not positive, cos my head exploded.
