Sophistication
 |
| Sophia Loren in Rome at a Carlo Ponti tribute Dec. 12, 2011 |
"Sophistication is not the pretense of maturity beyond one's years. A sophisticated woman has done more. She has looked within, and become a force of her nature despite, or because of her beauty, and beyond the expectation of normalcy has inspired other women to exceed themselves, and shelve the idea of being the 'weaker vessel'. She has been diplomatic and bold enough to become and insist upon becoming a Woman moving through each phase of life to be beautiful for who is important, and impeccable for what purpose is deep within her spheres of influence. This becomes a form of divinity.
This is what my mother taught me. This is what I perceived from women around me, and what was conveyed in Hollywood when Sophia Loren, and Eartha Kitt, and their peers were making movies, and shaping ideals around the context of women's stories in men's worlds." - Gregory E. Woods 4.2.13

Indians claim Italy by right of discovery
About 15 years ago a Mohawk friend, daughter of a respected Elder was going to a conference in Italy and I suggested , in all seriousness, that she plant her staff on the ground in front of the first official looking person she saw, say some thing in Mohawk proclaiming her discovery and hand them some beads to seal the exchange. We laughed so hard at the thought that we had to sit on the floor to keep from wetting ourselves. Glad to hear someone actually did it. - Mary F. Sullivan
From Our Correspondent: Rome, Sept 24, 1992
Italy, cradle of Western civilization, woke up today to the fact that it has never actually been discovered. The situation, however, was remedied at 11 o’clock in the morning when the chief of the Indian Chippewa tribe, Adam Nordwall, stepped off an Alitalia jumbo jet and claimed it for the Indian people.
The intrepid explorer, in full Indian dress, accompanied by his wife—in ordinary clothes because her suitcase had been lost in New York—stood on the tarmac of Fiumicino airport here and took possession of Italy “by right of discovery.”
The fact that Italy has long been inhabited by people who consider themselves to be in full possession of the place was exactly the point that Mr. Nordwall was trying to make. “What right had Columbus to discover America when it was already inhabited for thousands of years? The same right that I have to come now to Italy and claim to have discovered your country,” he said.
The difference, however, was that Columbus “came to conquer a country by force where a peaceful people were living, while I am on a mission of peace and goodwill.”
Mr. Nordwall led a party of Indians which occupied the prison on Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay in 1969 to call attention to the conditions in which Indians were compelled to live in America.

Photographer Pascal Le Segretain
The 70th Venice International Film Festival took place this year in 2013. It is one of the important events of the film industry. Every field of endeavor has its events and milestones and pivotal personalities that shape their industries. I am not familiar with the names of the attendees, but the fashion is incredible and the photography is splendid. Pascal Le Segretain photographed these celebrities.

Is elegance an achievement?
"I saw Italian actress Alessia Piovan in a movie on SUNDANCE this weekend. She was in the Italian movie, "Girl by the Lake". A murder mystery it is, the film, but something elegant about the whole film captivated me. It is the taste of the movie that sticks with me. The importance of elegance is evident in some cultures, and not in others. It is curious and seldom spoken of in many cultures. When it does come up in American culture often it is misused, but more oft' than not it is misunderstood, underrated, and de-emphasised. Why and how did this happen? I don't know. Do you?" -Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
