Il Cinema Delle Ragazze è un piccolo progetto in fase embrionale a cui sto partecipando con varie vecchie conoscenze sul Twitter di Donna Moderna. Facciamo esattamente quello che c’è scritto sulla scatola. Sapevatelo e seguiteci. E’ un ordine.

Gil Scott Heron - Washington D.C.
Guess who just got an invitation to run a workshop at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington DC next summer? Well done my brainy boy! And there will be weeks in New York, oh yes, we’re already planning.
Now, this piece of news just goes on top of our plan to apply for fellowships at the New York Public Library and at the John Carter Brown Library (Providence, Rhode Island), which means that we may be spending an awful lot of research time in the US of A between 2011 and 2012. Cue: joy.
Oh and we may have to miss living in London during the Olympics: priceless.

For those who think that figure skating is for sissies, here goes an Olympic story worthy of an episode of The Sopranos:
“US skaters Nancy Kerrigan (left) and Tonya Harding (right) were rivals in the run-up to the 1994 Winter Olympics when Harding’s partner, Jeff Gillooly, hired an accomplice to smash Kerrigan’s knee-cap with a retractable baton. Kerrigan’s cries were caught on tape, evoking such sympathy that she was eventually named in the Olympic squad despite her injury preventing her from qualifying. Kerrigan won silver at the Olympics – but the happy ending was spoiled when, prior to the medal ceremony, she was again caught on tape, this time whinging at the amount of time it was taking the gold medallist to do her make-up.” [Photograph: Gary Hershorn/Reuters; Story: guardian.co.uk]
