FREE PUSSY RIOT

The 34th Durban International Film Festival is on the go at the moment.

One of the films that caught my eye right away as the documentary; Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer.



Having followed bits and pieces of this saga I knew the documentary should be an interesting watch - It did not disappoint.

Pussy Riot is a Russian feminist punk rock protest group based in Moscow. Founded in August 2011, it has a variable membership of approximately 11 women ranging in age from about 20 to 33, who wear brightly colored balaclavas and use only nicknames during interviews.

That's about it from me: Watch the film! 

If you're in Durban, South Africa - It shows again on the 28th July at Suncoast. Book now!

Who are those girls?

I'm pretty sure by now, you've seen Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines music video.



And, since you have, surely you've noticed the three stunning girls prancing in the background in nothing but nude-colored underwear and white sneakers. They are (in no particular order):

Elle Evans

Elle is 23, Texas born and Louisiana bred. She models and acts in NYC, LA and Miami.
She used to date Deadmau5.



Jessi M'Bengue

Twitter: @Jessimbengue
Jessi (Jessika) is a model, an actress and a recording artist. She was born in Southern France to an Ivorian-Senegalese father and an Algerian mother.
She is ageless as far as we can tell...


And my fav: Emily Ratajkowski


Twitter: @realemrata
Emily is 21, a London-born Californian of Polish-Israeli background who's been modeling since the age of 14. Before "Blurred Lines" came out, she appeared in campaigns for Forever 21, Nordstrom, and various swimwear and lingerie lines.

And there you have it! Now you know.

Mandela Day

"One must have heroes, which is to say, one must create them.

And they become real through our envy, our devotion.

It is we who give them their majesty, their power, which we ourselves could never possess.

And in return, they give us some back."

Happy Birthday to the legendary, Nelson Mandela.
