Elektra is a Dutch independent artist, musician, poet, filmmaker, and writer of Estonian origin, celebrated for her genre-defying work in experimental pop, classical, electronic, and avant-garde music. She has been active since around 2004 and is signed to Blowpipe Records. A professionally trained pianist, vocalist, and dancer, she employs a multidisciplinary approach, weaving themes of dreams, internal vs. external worlds, duality (e.g., light and dark, love and hatred), mythology, and emotional intensity to evoke profound emotions. Unless otherwise specified, she writes, records, produces, creates music videos, and illustrates her work, maintaining complete artistic control. Elektra’s music fuses poetic lyricism with experimental soundscapes, enriched by her skills as a trained pianist and vocalist, with performances likely incorporating her dance background for a dynamic visual element. Her releases are typically limited-edition vinyls, CDs, or digital downloads.

Billy Wilder's "Sabrina" (1954) with Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, William Holden, John Williams, among others, was surprisingly enjoyable - a really good time spent. Classy, well written, and even a non-romantic like me enjoyed the romance too much to be willing to admit it! (Maybe I’m not the problem here, but the time we live in?) So I’m committing myself to watch as many American classics as I can find! I’ll update my humble follower list with the titles - perhaps together we can bring a bit more class and taste to this world by reliving the times gone by...
"I'm a personality as well as an actress. Show me an actress who isn't a personality, and you'll show me a woman who isn't a star."

Anyone tried listening to any interviews the contemporary actors and actresses give? They are boring AF! "I am so grateful... Everyone's been so great... Such an amazing experience..." as if they are reading from a darn script, since they all sound bloody the same! No personality, no screen or stage presence, but plenty of ass-kissing, 'cause we're so darn afraid to lose out, since we're not in our place to start with! Well, no wonder Hollywood's DEAD! After all, casting IS an art!
@cartographer_s Aw! I love this painting so much. Grew up with a reproduction hanging above the bed, and one in the form of a carpet. Every time you ventured into the woods, you saw the exact same forest, only sans bears.
Le 2 juin 1953, des millions de Français se collent à la vitrine des magasins. Pas pour acheter. Pour regarder un poste de télévision.
Ce jour-là, à Londres, Elizabeth II est couronnée à 27 ans. Mais le vrai séisme n'est pas dans l'abbaye de Westminster. Il est dans le salon des gens.
Pour la première fois, un événement est diffusé en direct, en même temps, dans cinq pays. Dont la France.
Presque personne n'a la télé chez soi. Alors on se masse. Chez le voisin équipé, au café, devant les rares écrans en boutique.
Au micro, une voix française commente, grave et intarissable. Un certain Léon Zitrone. Il devient une star ce jour-là.
Plus de 270 millions de spectateurs dans le monde. La télévision vient de prouver qu'elle peut réunir la planète autour d'une seule image.
En France, l'envie de petit écran explose. Quelques mois plus tard, on filme déjà l'élection du président à Versailles.
La télé venait d'entrer dans nos vies. Elle n'en est jamais ressortie.
Vous l'avez vécu, ce temps où on regardait la télé chez le voisin ?
