Becoming a model in midlife is a dream many women would like to accomplish. Mia Maugé burst onto the scene in 2020 in the midst of the global pandemic picked up by a modelling agency at age 54 championing diversity and inclusion in the fashion system.
Since then, as a model and content creator, Mia has worked with an array of brands including; Marks & Spencer, Avon, Lancôme, Cult Beauty, Disney, Barclays, Russell & Bromley, Vichy/L’Oreal Paris and appeared on the cover of ‘Stylist Magazine’.
Through sharing her own experiences Mia aims to change the narrative around midlife and ageing in general. “As midlifers, we continue to flourish and evolve – she says– whilst we take ownership of our deserved space in society.”
Mia, you’re a single mum with two daughters, who reinvented herself several times. What inspired you to become a model at 54?
A lack of representation and age inclusivity in beauty and fashion. I got scouted on Instagram in 2020 when I was 54. I changed my page from private to public because I wanted to be vocal and visible as a midlife woman. I was tired of shopping with brands that didn’t see me and women like me. Spending money online and in shops surrounded by images of beautiful young people and very few women over 40.
Beauty transcends age, and I felt ignored as a midlife female consumer. So I went on to Instagram to see if other women felt like I did, and within 4 weeks I got scouted to become a model myself. I never imagined doing this job, but it has a purpose. I love to be in spaces where you don’t expect to see a woman my age. Disrupting negative perceptions around ageing and stereotypes is my mission.
You strike me as being a confident woman and certainly, it’s not easy posing in front of a camera. But I know that it’s not always been like that. How did you succeed in turning into a badass woman?
I’ve always been camera-shy, so it was really difficult at first. I was so nervous, but I reminded myself of the importance of what I was doing. I had been allowed to be the representation I felt was lacking and much needed, and that was way more important than any insecurities or wavering self-confidence I might be feeling. I learnt on the job. There was no training, and I just had to dig deep to find my badass! She was there lurking in the background all along!
Can you share with us a memory of your first shoot? How did you feel?
My very first fashion shoot was fun. I wasn’t too nervous for this one. It was a nice team and a fantastic intergenerational cast. However, the second one was a lingerie shoot. I didn’t sleep the night before. I was shaking before going on set, but once I was on set, I began to relax. The crew were wonderful and they completely put me at ease.
I danced in my knickers and bra as the only model over 35. It turns out I was the first model over 50 that the high street brand had ever booked. So there was a lot of press and focus on me. I was on TV, on billboards, in-store and in print. Everywhere! It was quite surreal. I’ve never been body confident, but doing that job shifted something in me. I totally enjoyed the experience and found it really liberating.
Social media platforms have played a great role in your career. Any tips for those midlife ladies who don’t know how to use them as a leverage, powerful tool?
I’d say authenticity is key! Find what you feel passionate about and amplify that. Most of all enjoy it!
In your opinion, why does representation matter and how can the fashion system improve that?
When I was becoming a woman in the 80s there were no models who looked like me, my body type, my hair texture, my skin tone and beauty standards were really Eurocentric. It can make you feel overlooked, and less important, it can also cause insecurities and poor body image. In 2020 things changed for the next generation. There is much more diversity in terms of body type, skin tone and hair texture.
However, the lack of representation of women over 40 took me back to the 80s when I was feeling ignored and marginalised by society. I didn’t want to feel like that again.
It’s so important to be seen. The beauty industry and in particular skincare, has seen a positive change since I started modelling in 2020, but fashion needs to step up. It is so youth-focused. Representation of women over 40 isn’t just important for my generation, it’s important that the younger generations see that life doesn’t stop at 35-40 and that they will still be valued by society. It will help to take the fear out of ageing that we are seeing.
Ageism and racism are still very difficult to challenge. What are you doing to break the barriers?
Existing! Pushing to be seen and heard. I am now a public speaker, I also consult brands, and I am a content creator too. All of this has positioned me to be able to speak on ageism and racism, and hopefully raise awareness and make change.
Your fabulous grey hair has brought you luck. Why did you decide to ditch the dye and why do you recommend it?
I always liked the colour, but society didn’t. At 33, I didn’t want society to deem me old so I dyed it, and I continued to dye it until 2016 when I was 51. My daughters both persuaded me to go for it. They didn’t like the smell of the home dye I used every two weeks, and they thought it would look beautiful silver. So I gave it a go, and even though it was difficult, I slowly fell in love with what was growing naturally in my head. It took two challenging years to grow it out fully, and I haven’t regretted it at all. It’s completely changed my life.
I definitely wouldn’t be doing what I do now. I call it my silver magic! I’d recommend it because it really opened my eyes to the ageism in the world, but also inside my head, my inner ageist was challenged. I realised that I was simply conforming to society’s ageist beauty standards without question. I realised that there is empowerment in that simple act at the time it was quite a radical thing to do.
It was liberating to be freed of the pressure of fighting with what grew from my scalp because I’d been taught that it was undesirable and made me look old. When I see a woman with her natural silvers, I see a confident woman who is creating her own standard of beauty. Yes. I’d say it’s empowering, and that is a beautiful thing!
Your life at the moment is at full speed and soon you’ll publish a book, too. Can you tell us a bit more about it?
Yes, I was scouted on Instagram by a literary agency. I’ve just completed the 2nd draft of the book proposal, my agent says there is interest from publishers, and I’m hopeful to have the book completed by spring. I can’t share exactly what it’s about at this stage. Please just watch this space!
Finally, what would you suggest to those midlife women who struggle to find a place in this difficult ageist world?
I would say to practice gratitude for life and longevity. That is the root of harmony in your life. The alternative to a long life is to die young. If you’re lucky to have a long life, then ageing is inevitable. Embrace it, and make sure it is fulfilling and vibrant. Find your passion and joy in life and focus on that. Make it your purpose to be happy!

I have another session at the RHS booked for next Friday and would really like to start to mount my piece of work if possible. So today I have made a concerted effort to look at it critically and finish off as much as I can.
I used coral stitch to end the vines in twirls, stem stitch and bullions to form leaves in the big petals of the large flower, stem stitch for the birds legs and bullion for it’s claws.
But there are at least two sections which are really annoying me now. The first of which are the bottom petals of the large flower which are just too orange and I think I may redo these in green or brown.
Secondly, I must have slipped when originally painting the design and as a consequence the birds feet are very wide at their bases. I am now thinking that I may add another vine around the feet to try and hide this.
All I need to think about then is the birds beak and face….
Today was a good day for sewing and I also received a lovely surprise from Sewtherapy on Instagram. She was my ‘Send a little love swap’ – and here are some of the lovely things she made for me.
I just can’t believe that people spend so much time quilting mug rugs (which are lovely) – only to sit an old mug on!
those mug rugs look like an excuse to treat yourself to a couple of pretty mugs then ^^
I don’t think I can bring myself to putting a (possibly leaking/spilling) cup of tea on them – knowing how much work has gone into them!
but they’ll wash, won’t they?
Beautiful stitchery work. I love making mug rugs. They’re the perfect little sewing fix xx
I am not a quilter, so have never made these – but do appreciate the time and effort that goes into them.
I love the swirls of your vines…and your ‘drawings’ 😃 I had to zoom in as I thought it was thread on top at first (small phone screen!) But when I did, I noticed that the bullion leaves on the left side grabbed my attention as they seemed to crowd the bigger leaf since they were touching the edges, as opposed to the direction and space surrounding the bullion knots on the right leaf. This piece is gorgeous and I hope I’m not coming across as overly critical, but it was something that stood out, more so than the bird’s feet. I know nothing about bird anatomy but your tutors should be able to help….would making both feet wide look unnatural?
You’re very lucky to receive all those hand sewn goodies! The mug rug would be perfect for glasses of cold water over here since it’s so hot, but in the UK, I guess not. I also spied my favourite chocolate in there 😋 Is the tube beside it hand cream?
Thanks Jen, don’t worry – it is really helpful to have other peoples views. The problem with the top petals is that they are not symmetrical – so what ever I put in there looked squashed on one side. I didn’t think about this in the planning stage! Maybe I will wait until I get to the RSN on Friday to ask their opinion on the feet before I start messing around with them. The chocolate did not last long!
Beautiful mug rugs. I have received one from a friend as well, and I only it for my water glass. I am weary to coffee or tea on it too. 🙂 Way to pretty.
I love the bird in your piece. It is looking prettier each time I look at it. 🙂
Thank you – but I need to finish it as I have been looking at it for far too long now!
I will get to meet you in person! I’m in on Friday too 😊
I think there comes a point when you just need to move on. You can make notes on your self assessment of what you don’t like, would do differently. Obviously it’s entirely up to you and if it really does bother you it’s probably best to do something. But, I wouldn’t say it was absolutely necessary.
Look forward to seeing you o Friday!

Let pals Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt have their 50,000 flowers, four bands and fireworks at their wedding. Last weekend’s 20-minute ceremony between Oscar winner Julia Roberts and L.A. cameraman Daniel Moder — officiated by Roberts’s longtime friend and lawyer Barry Hirsch at the actress’s 40-acre ranch — included no flower girls, no bridesmaids, no groomsmen and no celebrity guests, PEOPLE reports in its latest cover story. There was just the outline of New Mexico’s 13,000-ft. Sangre de Cristo Mountains against the star-filled sky — and Roberts, 34, in a pale-pink cotton halter dress embroidered with pearls and antique beads, and Moder, 33, in a red ruffled shirt and tan pants, exchanging simple, handwritten vows. “There was a lot of laughter,” one guest told the magazine. And a fair bit of friskiness too: “Julia and Danny kissed throughout the ceremony,” says the guest. “They kept asking, ‘Is it okay if we kiss?’ ” They did more than kiss — they tattooed too, reveals PEOPLE. Three months before exchanging their vows, says a mutual friend, the couple declared their commitment by having each other’s initials inked on their lower backs. And you thought only diamonds were forever.

Title: Days of Blood & Starlight
Author: Laini Taylor
Series: Daughter of Smoke & Bone #2
Previous Book: Daughter of Smoke & Bone
Next Book: Dreams of Gods & Monsters
Source: Personal Purchase (Audible)
Description from Goodreads:
In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Karou must come to terms with who and what she is, and how far she’ll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, mysteries and secrets, new characters and old favorites, Days of Blood and Starlight brings the richness, color and intensity of the first book to a brand new canvas.
After finishing Daughter of Smoke & Bone, I was DYING for the sequel. My library didn’t have the audio version available, but I knew that a print version would take me too long to get to, with my review and library books that I needed to get to first. I scoured my library’s site for another audio book, but could not stop thinking about Days of Blood & Starlight, so I finally rejoined Audible just to purchase it! And I started it immediately.
Days of Blood & Starlight starts off very shortly after the ending of Daughter of Smoke & Bone. However, the first several chapters are from Zuzana and Akiva’s perspectives, and neither of them is sure that Karou is still alive, leaving the reader clueless as well. Obviously, I assumed that Karou was alive, seeing as how it’s very rare to kill off the main character of a novel, especially off-page, but I did wonder a little bit.
Because Days of Blood & Starlight is written in third-person, Taylor is able to jump around a bit, and follow different characters, both major and minor, established and new. This worked out really well in Days of Blood & Starlight because the reader gets to see some of the aftermath of the events at the end of the previous book, and also what is happening within the war between the seraphim and chimaera. I will warn you that due to the nature of war, I found Days of Blood & Starlight to be very dark and even graphic at times. There was one scene in particular that really had me cringing. The whole thing was very serious and sad in a lot of ways. But I’m amazed at the writing. Taylor portrayed the grim realities and feelings of the characters so well that I really felt what was going on. Though the subject matter was grim, her writing was beautiful.
Karou kind of got on my nerves in Days of Blood & Starlight. She feels guilty about what happened at the end of Daughter of Smoke & Bone and is trying hard to redeem herself. She made some questionable and even frustrating decisions, and I kind of wanted to smack her. As she learned more about what was actually going on in the war, and after one disturbing scene specifically, she finally started to grow and return to the character that I grew to love in the first book. Zuzana and Mik provided some much needed humor, amid the darkness of the war. They are definitely growing into my favorite characters within the series. Akiva was amazing and heartbreaking. I loved that he didn’t let his mistakes and grief drive him to make bad decisions, like he had in the past. I really loved him in this book.
The ending was great and definitely very much needed after the rest of the book, but of course, it ended not so much with a cliffhanger, but definitely on the precipice of some very big things about to happen. I can’t wait for the third book and am so mad that I have to wait until 2014 to find out the rest of the story (This seems to be a trend lately!).
I would definitely recommend Days of Blood & Starlight, especially if you enjoyed Daughter of Smoke & Bone, but I would warn you to go into it expecting some darker storylines and events.

STAND. COM. REP. NO. 511-14
RE: H.B. No. 1776
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2014
State of Hawaii
Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 1776, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
(1) Making minor housekeeping amendments to the requirement for a physical examination as a prerequisite for initial attendance at any school in the State;
(2) Requiring the Board of Education to:
(A) Establish a pilot program in a complex area, under which no child shall attend kindergarten, sixth grade, or ninth grade unless the child presents verification of the physical examination to the school within six months of the date of attendance; and
(B) Submit a report of its findings, recommendations, and any proposed legislation, to the Legislature prior to the 2016 Regular Session; and
(3) Appropriating funds in an unspecified amount to carry out the purposes of this measure.
UHA and several individuals supported this measure. The Department of Education opposed this measure. The Department of Health, Hawaii Medical Service Association, Hawaii Primary Care Association, and Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center commented on this measure.
In your Committee's deliberations at the public hearings held on this measure and on House Bill No. 2456, your Committee noted the testimony and discussion emphasizing the positive effects of good oral and physical health on the overall health and well-being of students. Regular physical and dental examinations are critical to early detection and treatment of illness and disease and the promotion of good health. Your Committee also believes that including dental examinations in the existing medical requirements for school entry will support student learning and achievement by fostering a healthy student population and healthy school environment.
Establishing a pilot program as an initial step in extending physical examination requirements beyond initial entry into Hawaii's schools will provide useful information for future legislative actions and for wider implementation of these medical examination requirements. Information obtained through the findings and recommendations from the pilot program will serve as a guide in future discussions to support a culture of wellness and preventive health care in schools.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Broadening the requirement that children obtain a physical examination to attend any school for the first time in the State to include obtaining both a physical examination and a dental examination and making conforming amendments to related statutory sections;
(2) Extending the time period from 30 days to 90 days in which a child must complete the required immunizations and physical and dental examinations to be admitted to school;
(3) Amending requirements for the pilot program to require a physical examination upon entry to the seventh grade and to require that sixth grade students and their parents be informed of the seventh grade pilot program and of options related to obtaining the required physical examination;
(4) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion; and
(5) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1776, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1776, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
DELLA AU BELATTI, Chair

Remember that scene in The Notebook when Noah and Allie slowly undress in front of each other and it’s, like, really awkward? Well, getting naked in front of someone for the first time IS awkward. Sometimes being in front of yourself naked is awkward because you’re seeing all your curves and all your edges, as John Legend would say. But at least when you’re naked by yourself, you’re the only one seeing you.
When someone else sees you naked, you’re worrying about how you feel about yourself and what the other person is seeing. You’re probably thinking about something that the other person would never notice in a million years, but you’re convinced they’re noticing it now. You’re worried about everything, and you just feel so… exposed. It gets easier, I promise! But the first time you get naked in front of someone, you’ll probably have these 10 thoughts:
1. Alrighty, so are we like alternating clothes?
You go first. No, really. You go first.
2. OMG I’m stuck.
A little help, please?
3. Well… this is me.
4. Why are they looking at me like that?
What? What is that look?!
5. Did they notice [insert insecurity of choice here]?
OMG can they see that weird birthmark I have?
6. It’s a little chilly…
Erm… so those blankets over there look nice.
7. I hope my boobs look okay.
They’re totally uneven, I hope they can’t tell.
9. Did I shave my legs?
Oh no, I think I missed a spot.
10. Well this has been sufficiently awkward.
Next time won’t be as weird, right?
What thoughts have you had while naked in front of someone for the first time? Was it weird for you? Tell us in the comments!

That doesn't provide funding just yet, but -- as CM McDuffie notes -- it is the first step towards securing funding.
Rhode Island Avenue NE and North Capitol Street Become Retail Priority Areas
On January 29, Mayor Gray signed the ``Retail Incentive Amendment Act of 2012.`` This legislation, introduced by Councilmember McDuffie, designates Rhode Island Avenue NE and North Capitol Street as Retail Priority Areas. This is the first step towards securing funding to support the revitalization of Ward 5`s Great Streets.
``I am pleased that the Mayor has signed this legislation into law,`` said Councilmember McDuffie. ``The Northeast corridor has the potential to become a major urban gateway for the Nation`s Capital. Designating portions of North Capitol Street and Rhode Island Avenue NE as Retail Priority Areas provides an additional tool to spur economic development in Ward 5 and ultimately will help create new jobs for District residents.``
And here is the October 2012 press release from the councilmember where he introduced the bill:

Chelation Therapy involves the use of chelating substances to eliminate toxic metals from the body. Toxic metals include elements like mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic and uranium or other elements that interfere with almost all healthy bodily functions and contribute to many diseases. Chelating substances bind with the toxic elements so that the substances can be detoxified by the liver and eliminated from the body through the kidneys (urine) and intestines (feces). Some chelating substances, such as EDTA and DMPS are administered by intravenous infusion or push. Other chelating substances, such as DMSA, are taken orally. Each chelating substance has a different chemical affinity or binding ability with each toxic element. Therefore, different chelating substances are used depending on the circumstances.
Elimination of toxic metals from the body using Chelation Therapy must be achieved slowly and carefully, and according to a strategy determined by a trained medical professional. This strategy must take into account the patient's ability to detoxify and eliminate the chelated toxic metals or the health condition can be aggravated.
Before beginning chelation therapy, it is essential establish whether or not toxic metals are an issue. This is a simple, relatively inexpensive procedure. After administration of a provoking agent (chelating agent), urine is collected for a specific period of time and sent to a lab for analysis. If a higher than normal level of a toxic metal is discovered in the provoked urine test, this is an indication that chelation therapy may be a necessary part of an overall strategy to restore health.
There is evidence that chelation therapy, using an intravenous infusion of Disodium EDTA, may help reduce atherosclerotic plaque in the blood vessels. This can be beneficial for many problems relating to the circulatory system.
Chelation Therapy is a specific, medical procedure that must be performed by properly trained, medical professionals in accordance with strict protocols. When properly performed, Chelation Therapy is comfortable, safe and effective. Chelation Therapy has a cumulative effect so that each treatment builds on and enhances the effects of previous treatments.
The Myers’ Cocktail is a combination of various pharmaceutical grade vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that is administered by intravenous push. It can be useful in situations where oral nutrients or other therapies are not effective. The digestive system is bypassed when nutrients are given intravenously. Therefore, a much higher level of nutrition can be delivered to your cells through the bloodstream. This can be especially important for people with digestive problems that contribute to an inability to assimilate appropriate nutrition from food or supplements. Also, with many health problems and diseases the body needs to use nutrients at a faster rate or in higher amounts for proper healing.
The general effect of a Myers’ Cocktail is to improve the function and energy capacity of the cells which can assist in recovery from chronic or acute health problems. A Myers' Cocktail may be helpful for many health conditions including fatigue, fibromyalgia, acute muscle spasms, chest pain, palpitations, infections, respiratory problems, chronic sinusitis, asthma, seasonal allergies, hives, hyperthyroidism, migraine headaches and depression. A Myers' can help speed recovery from a cold or flu. When optimum physical or mental performance is essential, a Myers' Cocktail can be of benefit.
Most people experience the taste of vitamins soon after the injection is started followed by a pleasant sensation of flushing and then heat (caused by the magnesium's effect) in one or more locations that may diffuse over the body as the injection continues. The injections are usually given once or twice a week initially, and beneficial effects are usually felt by the fourth injections. Many patients with chronic conditions choose to continue the injections on a regular basis or when they feel a decrease in energy.
In the mid twentieth century, John Myers, M.D., was the first physician to extensively use intravenous nutrient therapy for a variety of medical conditions. More recently, the nutrient cocktail was named and popularized by Alan Gaby, M.D., who writes about nutrition in medicine. Hundreds of physicians use variations on the Myers’ Cocktail today.
Administration of a Myers’ Cocktail is a specific, medical procedure that must be performed by properly trained, medical professionals in accordance with strict protocols. When properly performed, a Myers's Cocktail is comfortable, safe and effective. The Myers’ Cocktail has a cumulative effect so that each treatment builds on and enhances the effects of previous treatments. For acute infections, frequent treatment may be necessary initially.

Confessions of an Ulterior Monk
I’ve been trapped in the shack of concepts;
I’ve slept well in the bed of vice;
But after a glimpse of the beautiful Dharmata’s face,
The dramas of this floating world have lost their attraction.
He perceives all pleasures as an enemy,
Acting so virtuous in the eyes of the world;
Yet, secretly tormented by the fires of lust,
Oh Lord, have mercy on this stubborn monk.
I’m already in my forties, fifties
I never remember touching a woman’s breast;
I thought about you, O Death,
And went out to lose my virginity.
In those early days of my life
I went to great monasteries,
Studied scriptures, gained reputation;
Now I hang with the crazy women,
And write hundreds of thousands of meaningless poems.
Early this morning, I dreamt
Of a woman lavishly attired I pray to you, Lord,
Let her come naked into my dreams tonight.
The heavenly daughter from the deathless city,
Half hidden, revealed from her white clouds;
If I overcome my fear, reach out with confidence,
We shall dance!
Last evening I slept with my beloved Without her passion and warmth
This spiritual notion of bliss
Is nothing but idle prattle.
I could well have the elegant robes of a monk
And well gain reverence from devotees
And have people praise me as a holy man or saint,
But that would not satisfy the desires of my beloved.
Wandering everywhere like a lost dog,
Lacking shelter and companion for so long,
My heart bled with longing and grief;
This made me remember my loved one, over and over.
I used to have altruism,
And do great things for others;
No one was ever pleased with that Now that I have nothing to lose or gain,
I shall enjoy various pleasures as much as possible.
He never believed in a doctrine,
And is dismissed as a nonbeliever He never belonged to a race, and is dismissed as a heretic He never confined himself to a culture,
And is ostracized from the human family.
Sometime ago I was truly disillusioned with this world,
Any true happiness, I haven’t found;
I’m not deluded, not undeluded,
But stuck in the middle of the spiritual path,
Deities and visions came into my head;
I’ve never been blissed out and content like this before;
I dance and sing spontaneously;
Yet the mediocre ones see a lunatic.
My umbilical blood dripped on the ground;
I’ve never fit into anyone’s ideas;
All-compassionate Goddess, take me there!
If there is another world.
I have been suffering for many lifetimes,
Exhausted even of seeking liberation,
In this life I want nothing,
Only spiritual magic!
I was born in the Northern desert;
A herdsman most of my life ’til thirty;
Never saw what my face looked like Yesterday, a guest gave a Chinese mirror,
And I saw one hundred beautiful expressions A new courage was born in my heart;
Now, I’ll ask the Princess to marry.
She said she’s just a human My neighbor said she’s just a bitch;
I saw her as an angel;
O Lord, tell me what is right.
I told my housekeeper,
“Do not move my pillow,
Because there’re countless secret letters there “
But I can tell you that
The first one is a hate letter
And last one, a love letter.
A noise woke us up –
The black cat chasing a mouse –
My lover looked at me,
“Don’t be like that!”
I nodded my head three hundred times.
In my life I have two things to worship;
Perhaps you know the first Another one: the girl from the village behind the bridge God punishes me;
She pleases me.
I’ve been so afraid of the Lord of Death’s wrath,
And so have done great virtues The old and withered prophet from the cave told me,
“Unless you see your mind as the Highest Heaven, you shall die in great fear “
Is it true? He just disregarded all my merit?
I saw tears from Buddha’s statue in the temple,
I went home, found my talking parrot dead I prayed for something, nothing has been answered I put my lover’s tears onto him,
He came to life once again So marvelous,
But remained silent after that,
Until yesterday, which was his funeral,
With one hundred good-looking ghosts.
My friend whispered to me
“This is only for you I have two penises and three asses What should I do, dear one?”
Of course I didn’t have an answer Then last night I had a dream The Lord smiled and told me,
“From now on you are my messenger Tell him, “Live in the land of two penises
and three asses “
A yogi lives on the right side of my house,
A monk lives on the left, what difference?
I’ll tell you The monk goes to temple and worships the Buddha;
The yogi goes out to the market to buy rotten shoes
From a beggar woman with 3000 coins,
Worships them in his closet from morn ’til dusk;
The monk cries every midnight out of his sexual pain;
The yogi laughs every night out of his bliss.
There’s a deep philosophical question,
Which gives unresolved pain to many philosophers, thinkers and mystics “Why did the chicken cross the road?”
I asked that question to my neighbor couple
And they started quarreling, pushing and beating each other;
I was afraid and ran back to my room and closed the door After an hour I peeked through the window
And saw them madly making love in the yard.

Long I’ve mastered the secret
Art of levitation
And invisibility But if you would glimpse at
My blurry, speeding shadow
On a full moon, you’d mistake
Me for Marc Chagall’s “rabbi”
Floating above a chalet
In the canvas of midnight,
Or Hermes, the god with
Winged feet I am a
I hop and hop from
Rooftop to rooftop on
My feather-light, nimble feet
Like a high-wire artist,
Making nary a sound,
Except for a muffled thud
Or a scratching noise
That one hears and is gone
While the unsuspecting
Householders below would
Conclude that I am some
Harmless bird or creeper
Night after night I pursue
With rage and passion my
Melancholic task as if
I am relentlessly
Tracking my fate’s ominous
Line Each time my feet land,
I scan my never-ending
Empire of slippery tiles
And splintered shingles I must
Trail my absent muse to
The edge of this blighted earth I must perform and dance
My subtle ritual alone–
Like a necromancer
In the womb of darkness–
Without pomp and ceremony,
Without a single witness
While the cold wind shakes my bones
I am a bipolar ghost
Sandwiched betweeen heaven
And earth Alas, below
Me is a couple sleeping
In the same warm room but
On separate beds Above
Me, the gaping chasm
Of an indifferent sky
Waiting for me to lose
My balance, slip and fall up,
Defying gravity’s law,
Into its night-fanged maw.
Suicide Ridge in Paradise
(for Rick Ditmanson)
Winding our way up in a car on that
Road in Northern California one
Sunny but chilly Sunday afternoon,
My poet-friend, Rick, casually pointed
To a vacant spot towards the right side
Of our field of vision I gazed at
The grassy lot, which ended in a sheer
Drop of about two hundred feet below “It’s quite famous in these parts,”
Rick stressed “Do you mean to say “
“Yep,” he interrupted “Its name means
Exactly what it says ” At that point I
Imagined someone, engulfed by
The dark, grizzly fog of desperation,
Reevving up his V-8 engine,
Then shifting gear from neutral to first and
Kicking the gas pedal until it sinks
In the floor, sending the damned machine
Hurtling over the ridge Suddenly, in
My mind’s-eye, I saw thousands of other
Cars in similar ridges all over
The planet crashing down and exploding
In a blaze of mangled flesh and twisted
Chrome Perhaps there is an omnipotent
Car wrecker who has carved all these sheer drops
To afford all those who are too tired to
Linger here on earth the chance of their lives
By taking a dramatic plunge down there
“I better step on the gas,” Rick said “We’re late for our date in Paradise “
Lovesong For My Trashcan
Trash can of mine I love you:
Your vinyl lips so thin,
Smooth and red; your seductive
Gaping mouth, a warm abyss
With an insatiable
Passion for reams of crumpled
Hope scrawled with stillborn lines
Trash can of mine I love you:
Paragon of openness
Whose supple, spacious breast is
A vanity museum
That flaunts like diamond tears
All my rubbish thoughts and
Trash can of mine I love you:
Muse of desperation who
Recycles visions and
Of rejection slips into
Crisp, blank, snow-white sheets of
Silence and oblivion sweet.

Chemicals in beauty and personal care products may boost women’s risk of diabetes, a new study in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, suggests.
Researchers found that elevated concentrations of chemicals called phthalates in women’s bodies are associated with an increased chance of developing diabetes. Phthalates are hormone-disrupting chemicals commonly used in products such as soaps, nail polishes, hair sprays, perfumes and moisturizers.
Researchers analyzed concentrations of phthalates in the urine of 2,350 women from across the United States. They found that women with the highest levels of mono-benzyl phthalate and mono-isobutyl phthalate were nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as those with the lowest levels of the two chemicals.
Women with higher-than-average levels of mono-(3-carboxypropyl) phthalate had about a 60 percent increased risk of diabetes, and those with moderately high levels of the chemicals mono-n-butyl phthalate and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate had about a 70 percent increased risk of diabetes.
Tamarra James-Todd, the lead esearcher from the division of women’s health at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in Boston, said, ”This is an important first step in exploring the connection between phthalates and diabetes. We know that in addition to being present in personal care products, phthalates also exist in certain types of medical devices and medication that is used to treat diabetes and this could also explain the higher level of phthalates in diabetic women. So overall, more research is needed.”
The researchers also cautioned that the women in the study “self-reported” their diabetes, a less than ideal method of conducting research. And while the study found a potential connection between phthalates and diabetes in women, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.

To Edmund Randolph
RC (LC: Madison Papers). Cover franked by “J. Madison Jr” and addressed to “Edmund Randolph Esqr. Richmond.” Docketed by Randolph, “J. Madison Jr. May. 27 1783.”
Philada. May 27th. 1783
My dear Sir
A letter recd. yesterday from Mr. F. Webb,1 inclosing bills in my favor for £200 Virga. Curny. informed me of the successful effort of your friendship for my relief. Mr. Ambler informed me that your attempt was for £100 more, but was abridged on a doubt as to the balance due to me.2 My answer to him by this conveyance will shew that you would have been sufficiently under the mark.3
The next post I hope will bring me your remarks on the Budget of Congress, with the pulse of the Assembly with regard to it.4 The example of Virga. will have great & perhaps decisive influence on the event of it. In Rhode Island they are attacking it in the News papers before it has appeared. But this State is swayed by a party which has raised & connected its importance with an opposition to every Contl. measure. The bulk of the people are taken in by a belief that if no general impost on Trade be levied, their State will be able to tax the neighbouring States at pleasure.5 Should all the other States unite heartily in the plan, I do not think any single State will take upon itself the odium & the consequences of perseviring in a veto upon it.
I wish much to know how far your hope was well founded of an introduction of Mr. Jefferson into the Legislature.6 The hopes of some I find extend to his Mission to Congress.7 The latter would be exceedingly fortunate & if his objections are not insuperable ought & I trust will be urged upon him by his friends. I have been also indulging a hope that your return for such periods as would be most interesting, & wd least interfere with the exercise of your profession, might be reconciled to your views. Unless temperate & experienced members come in for the ensuing year, I foresee that the exclusions reqd. by the Confederation will make way for a change in the fœderal Councils not favorable to those catholic arrangements on which the harmony & stability of the Union must greatly depend.8
We have recd. no accession of intelligence either as to the progress of the definitive Treaty, of the bill in the British Parlt. for commerce with the U-S. or of the negociations among the hungry suitors for the loaves & fishes of the Administration.9
I am Dr. Sir Yr sincere friend

7. On 6 June 1783 Jefferson was one of the five men elected by joint ballot of the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate to serve as delegates in Congress for “one year from the first Monday in November next” (JHDV description begins (1828 ed.). Journal of the House of Delegates of Virginia, Anno Domini, 1776 (Richmond, 1828). description ends , May 1783, p. 39).
8. Delegates in Congress who had gained experience by serving the maximum term of three consecutive years permitted by Article V of the Articles of Confederation were necessarily, and often eagerly, returning home (JCC description begins Worthington Chauncey Ford et al., eds., Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774–1789 (34 vols.; Washington, 1904–37). description ends , XIX, 215). The legislatures of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, and Georgia seemed either indifferent about being represented in Congress or content to have only one delegate there. That delegate, of course, counted neither in making a quorum nor in voting. JM also noticed that some of the new members, however well qualified they were in other respects, often evinced more determination than their predecessors to advance the particular interests of their constituencies to the detriment of “the harmony & stability of the Union.” See Papers of Madison description begins William T. Hutchinson, William M. E. Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (7 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , VI, 16; JM Notes, 27 May 1783, n. 1.

"Prince of Players" 1955
Richard Burton plays Edwin Booth, and though his obvious command of both Shakespeare and the camera make Mr. Burton a pleasure to watch in this film, his portrayal of Booth was perhaps not exactly on the mark from an historical perspective. Edwin Booth did not follow in his famous father’s footsteps so much as he stumbled in them for many years before coming into his own as a great actor. Burton is polished from the start. Ironically, Booth’s own fame grew from what was seen as a more natural and heartfelt performance in his roles, rather than the very bombastic and artificial style of acting of the generation before him, which included his father, to some extent, his brother John Wilkes Booth.
And Edwin Booth did not speak with a Welsh accent. Despite the majesty of Shakespeare’s plays and the beauty of a talented thespian like Burton speaking them at full throttle, it would have been more historically accurate, and perhaps even more poignant, to demonstrate that these Booth sons were natives of an agrarian America, who plied their trade as actors in mining camps and saloons. They were from Maryland. They may not have sounded quite like Richard Burton.
It is also interesting that this film harkens back to a less sophisticated era when, conversely, even the most humble common dirt-poor worker was familiar with the works of William Shakespeare. Education was much harder to obtain then, but seemingly much more prized. Even a little was something to be savored.
The real joy for many viewers of this film is likely the very long, leisurely scenes from different plays by Shakespeare that get a nice showcase. “Richard III” in a mining camp out west, a snippet from “Romeo and Juliet” in the courtyard of a New Orleans bordello, and “Hamlet” of course, Edwin Booth’s signature role, on opulent stages lit by gas or candle footlights.
Edwin’s source of genius, and his source of pain, is from his father, whom while a boy he attends on cross country tours like a page assisting a knight, until his dissipated father, from whom he has learned Shakespearean passages by rote, can no longer go on. Edwin must carry on the name, which in real life he did somewhat reluctantly, insecure about his own talent.
The end of the film shows a morose Edwin Booth, weighed down by the death of his young wife, and by his brother’s evil deed bringing shame on the family name. Actually, Edwin’s life was in danger for a time by angry mobs wherever he went, more than just the tomato throwing in this film.
If you’re interested in reading more on how Edwin heard the news of the assassination and what happened to him in those days, hop over to my “Tragedy and Comedy in New England” blog this Wednesday when we discuss the anniversary of that horrific moment when Edwin got snagged and helplessly entangled in his brother’s infamy.

As usual the food is excellent if slightly pricy. the staff never fail to amaze me with their courteous and friendly attitude even when run off their feet.
I usually have the Bhuna dish which comes with generous amounts of chicken. One criticism would be that the poppadoms are always cold when you receive them (as seems to be the norm in most Indian restaurants these days)
The atmosphere is relaxed and the tables well spaced out for privacy. It is also worth trying their sister restaurant in nearby Holmfirth which is similar. As a note the beers are well priced.

(Click photo to enlarge)
On July 30, 1861, Moses Stroup Jr. was twenty-two and lived in Gaston County, southeast of White Pine, which is currently Cherryville, NC, when he enlisted with the Confederate army for one year. He re-enlisted with the Confederate army for a two-year term in March 1862 and was paid $50.00 for it. He was a Private in Company B of the 28th Infantry Regiment, North Carolina.
On the 27th or 28th of May 1862, he was captured by the Union Army at Hanover Court House. Moses was described as 5’8” tall with dark eyes, hair, and complexion. He was confined as a prisoner of war at Fort Monroe, Virginia and later moved to Fort Columbus, New York. Ultimately, he was transferred to Aiken’s Landing, along the James River in Virginia, where he was presented to the Confederate army in a prisoner exchange on Aug. 5, 1862.
In December of 1862, Moses was captured again in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He was paroled on December 17, 1862 and returned to service on March 1, 1863. According to military records, by the end of February of the following year, he was “present” with his company but had been “absent without leave.” There was a note added that stated: “Stoppage one-month’s pay of $11.00.”
On his Veterans Pension Application, Moses stated that just prior to Gettysburg, on or about May 3, 1863, his right foot was wounded. His wound was determined to be non-life-threatening, so he stayed with his company and was at the Battle of Gettysburg in early July 1863. He was captured there and hospitalized at the U.S.A. General Hospital in Chester, Pennsylvania.
Moses returned, for the third time, to active duty. On May 12, 1864, at the Battle of Spotsylvania in Virginia, Moses was captured again by Union forces. He was confined at Point Lookout, Maryland, shortly after he had been captured, then transferred to Elmira, NY, on August 8, 1864. He was held for nearly 10 months at that prison, commonly referred to as “Camp Hellmira” due to the “hellish” conditions prisoners endured there. He was released after pledging the Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America on June 19, 1865.
After the war, Moses returned to his home and land of substantial acreage, near the Tryon School area of Gaston County (southeast of present-day Cherryville). On Dec. 21, 1865, Moses married Sarah Ann Carpenter in Gaston County. Moses and Sarah had seven children: Laura (1866), Andrew (1868), Margaret (1870), Ida (1873), Elizabeth (1875), Mary Luola (1878), and Lillian (1881).
Unfortunately, Sarah died in October of 1881; their youngest daughter was only about 9 months old at the time. After Sarah’s death, Moses married Susan C. Hovis, and they had three children together: David (1885), Mabel (1886), and Zona (1888). Moses was a well-known citizen throughout Gaston County: He served Gaston County as Representative to the NC House during the 1891 Session of the North Carolina State Assembly.
On June 30, 1911, Moses filed a Civil War NC Soldiers Application for Pension. It was disallowed because his “personal wealth exceeded the maximum allowed ($500.00).” On his application, Moses stated that his wealth was estimated at $10,000.
Moses Stroup Jr. died in 1920 and was buried at Concord Methodist Church Cemetery, which is in Gaston County, NC.

Lady Gaga gushes over House Of Gucci co-star Adam Driver and says she’s ‘lucky’ to have acted alongside him in sweet 38th birthday tribute: ‘You’re a weirdo like me’
It appears Lady Gaga and Adam Driver hit it off while shooting the much-anticipated film House of Gucci.
The Born Like This star heaped on the compliments when she posted a tribute to Driver on Friday, in honor of his 38th birthday.
‘Me and my buddy Adam Driver. Happy Birthday to someone I feel so proud to know,’ the A Star Is Born actress, 35, gushed alongside a photo of the duo shooting a scene at a masquerade ball.
‘This is us behind the scenes filming ‘House of Gucci.’
Crushing: Lady Gaga gushed over House Of Gucci co-star Adam Driver when she wished him a happy 38th birthday in an Instagram post on Friday
Gaga (born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) continued, ‘I hope you have the best day, I’m the lucky actress who got to learn from you and lead with you every day.’
She concluded, ‘Shoutout to all your fans! I know why they adore you, it’s cuz you’re the best! (and you’re a weirdo like me ),’ Gaga concluded.
Gaga and Driver star opposite each other as Patrizia Reggiani and Maurizio Gucci, respectively, in House Of Gucci, a biographical crime drama film, directed by Ridley Scott.
Lessons learned: ‘I’m the lucky actress who got to learn from you and lead with you every day.’ Gaga shared in her birthday tribute; two co-stars showed off their chemistry at the premiere of House Of Gucci in Los Angeles on Thursday
Born Like This: The actress and singer acknowledged that Driver is a weirdo like her; she is pictured striking a pose in her sequin gown for the House Of Gucci premiere
Based on the 2001 book The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed by Sara Gay Forden, the movie tells the true-crime story of how Reggiani (Gaga) married into the Gucci family and eventually plotted to assassinate her husband, Maurizio Gucci (Driver), heir to the designer family fortune.
Academy Award-winning actors Al Pacino, Jared Leto and Jeremy Irons round out the lead roles as other Gucci family members, along with Salma Hayek.
While her acting resume may be short, Gaga can also call herself an Oscar-winner, with her win for Best Original Song for A Star Is Born (2018). She also received a nomination for the film in the Best Lead Actress category.

Star-studded: Al Pacino is also among the cast of House Of Gucci, along with Jared Leto, Salma Hayek and Jermey Irons
During a joint interview with the New York Times, Gaga praised Scott for empowering her as a woman, during the shoot.
‘I have to say this, Ridley: There’s not a lot of men that are directors who would empower a woman to be ugly on camera,” the actress and singer told the acclaimed director.
‘When I aged and had scenes where I was in this embarrassing, desperate state, he embraced the ugliness of this character and that should be commended, because it is ugly to be disposed of for your looks, it is ugly to be left for a younger woman.’
She added, ‘So I appreciate that Ridley took something that was sort of a ‘sexy murder’ and he let it be ugly.’
House of Gucci premieres in theaters on November 24.

This famous hike through Verdon Gorge explores an impressive limestone canyon. The hike along the turquoise water of the Verdon River is an outing for the adventurous hiker as you'll encounter narrow paths, tunnels, bridges, and stairs along the path as it winds through the canyon. You'll also be treated to wide beaches and clear pools where you can stop and soak in the outstanding scenery.
Need to Know
Bring a flashlight or headlamp for the two tunnels you'll encounter along the trail. This is a point-to-point hike so be sure to arrange transportation to get to/from your start point. You can take a bus or taxi and hike the trail in either direction. If hiking the route as mapped here from south to north, it is recommended to park a car at Point Sublime (parking for about 50 cars--bring cash) and take a taxi to Maline Chalet to start the hike.
This beautiful hike takes hikers deep into Verdon Gorge, also known as the Grand Canyon of France. When hiking from south to north, the route starts at the Maline Chalet at the southern end. From here, you face a challenging descent in the first mile, as the trail twists and turns down toward the Verdon River. This descent is steep and challenging, but once you get this out of the way, the pleasant hiking begins.
The trail will reach the river and level out a little over a mile in. Here, you are in for a treat as you follow along the blue waters of the river, sometimes hiking next to the water, sometimes climbing a narrow trail etched into the sides of the towering canyon walls. About halfway through there is an optional side trail that takes you to a small beach at a lovely viewpoint at a bend in the river.
As the trail turns north, you'll start climbing gradually. You'll get to hike through two tunnels and eventually come to a small parking lot where you'll hike for a short distance along the road. Don't be fooled into thinking this is the end, as you still have another half mile and the hike's most challenging climb to reach the end at the aptly named Point Sublime.
Flora & Fauna
Keep an eye open for wildflowers and birds, especially the colony of griffon vultures who were reintroduced to the gorge over three decades ago.

Want a quick and easy gift for a female friend? Are you looking for a quick project to use up scrap yarn? Make a scrunchie in less than an hour!
1Make a chain 10 - 12 chain stitches long. Pass one end of the chain through the hair band, and slip stitch the two ends of the chain together to form a loop. You will want the loop to go through the hair band so that you have two interlocked circles. This will be the "base round".Ad
2Make 3 chain stitches. Hold the base round horizontal with the 3 new stitches standing upright.
3Work a treble stitch (see warnings) into each of the remaining chain stitches on the base round. When you reach the end, work a slip stitch from your current stitch to the third chain stitch from Step 2 to form a round.
4Repeat Step 3 ten to twenty times. You will notice that you are making a tube that encases the hair band. The tube will follow the hair band around into a circle.
5When your tube has followed the hair band all the way around to the beginning again, it is time to attach the two ends. Check that your last round will reach the bottom of your base round without stretching. You may be tempted to cheat, but this will result in a scrunchie that looks small and flat rather than a full, ruffled scrunchie.
6Join the two ends of the tube into a doughnut shape. You can do this by sewing with a blunt wool needle. Break off the yarn, leaving about 40 centimeter (15.7 in) of yarn from the hook. Thread a blunt needle onto the end of the yarn and sew the two edges together. Make sure that the stitches on both rounds line up so that you get a smooth join. Tie a knot in the end of the yarn, break off the yarn leaving about 10 centimeter (3.9 in) left, and pull this thread to the inside of the scrunchie.
7You have just made a scrunchie!Ad
We could really use your help!
- To jazz up a basic scrunchie, you could glue or sew on sequins, beads or other ornaments or embroider a design.
- If you are a more advanced crocheter, you can make a smoother join by placing the two edges next to each other (both facing up) and work a round of double crochet (one wrap around hook) stitches, putting the hook through BOTH edges to work them together.
- To create more volume or ruffles in the hair band, make a longer tube on the same sized hair band.
- Use different types of yarn to get different textures. Fun fur yarn, chenille, ribbon and mercerised cotton will all produce different textures. However, textured yarns are generally more difficult to work with than plain or smooth yarns.
- Crochet terminology changes between countries. If you have learnt to crochet in the United States, you will know the stitch used here as a double crochet stitch. If you learnt to crochet in the United Kingdom or another Commonwealth country, you will know this as treble or triple crochet. The stitch used in this pattern is the one that requires you to wrap the yarn around your hook TWICE before pushing the hook through the work.
Things You'll Need
- Basic crochet skills. If you can form a treble (or double, see warning) stitch and you can crochet in the round, you can make a scrunchie.
- A crochet hook (for 8-ply or double knitting yarn, as being used here, you will need a 3mm - 4mm hook).
- 8-ply yarn. A ball of yarn the size of your fist (or about 30 grams) should be plenty for this project.
- A hair band.


When you think about cars such as the Polo GTI or the Fiesta ST you don’t necessarily think of them as veritable hot hatches.
They’re more like “pocket rockets”. They’re small, agile, quick and loads of fun to drive. Of course, when they end up facing each other, it’s every car for itself. This is not a “friendly” game.
So then which is quicker? The 182 PS Ford Fiesta ST or the 192 PS VW Polo GTI? On paper, the difference is negligible. The Polo will hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.7 seconds whereas the Fiesta will need 6.9 seconds. In terms of top speed, the V-Dub is looking at 236 km/h (146 mph), while the Fiesta can only manage 220 km/h (136 mph).
Then there’s the DSG gearbox which favors the Polo GTI, but it’s hard to call it a clear favorite when you’re only doing a short distance drag race.
We don’t want to tell you who won, but we can tell you that it was painfully close and that we needed a slow motion replay in order to call it.

Curious to know the Shameless season 11 episode 4 return date at Showtime, or some more details on what lies ahead? If you find yourself wondering about either one of these things, we’ve got all of the details for you within!
We should start off here, though, by handing down some bad news: You are going to have to wait a little while to see what’s next. While there are a couple of retrospective events airing the next couple of weeks, some new episodes are going to surface when you get around to January. As of right now, the network’s official site has it listed as coming back on the 10th, but this could change. This is an episode that will give you a lot of the story that you’ve seen in various trailers so far. Think along the lines of the Little Miss South Side pageant and then also Mickey finding himself a new job amidst Kevin and V’s burgeoning business.
For some other news on what’s ahead, remember to check out the full Shameless season 11 episode 4 synopsis below:
The Milkoviches move in next door and wreak havoc, leading Frank, Kev and Liam to scheme to get rid of them; Mickey embarks on a security gig for Kev and V and drags Ian along; Gemma and Franny compete in the Little Miss South Side beauty pageant.
The pageant is going to bring about all sorts of comedy, but we hardly imagine that this is going to be the only part of the episode that will. The battle between the Gallaghers and the Milkoviches is about to take off to new heights. This has long been a subplot of the series, and given that this is the final season, it makes more sense than ever to lean into it a little bit more. Why not have some fun and/or show off more Gallagher chaos than ever?
What do you most want to see when it comes to Shameless season 11 episode 4?
Be sure to share right now in the attached comments! Meanwhile, remember to keep coming back for some other news on the show. (Photo: Showtime.)
