Queen Rania breaks down stereotypes
The Queen of Jordan, Rania Al Abdullah is Nikki’s named role model, an upstanding figure of humilility, a campaigner for women, children and social change. A beautiful woman in every way.
Celebrity Status
‘Celebrity’ used to be about ‘celebrating talent’ and we ask if this is what we do? Do we need to be bombarded with sensational media hype about Jordan and her breast implants or Kerry’s Kebabs? Do we really? Or will we see the popular tide turn more towards other more substantial role models?
“Celebrity” by Brad Paisley.
Someday I’m gonna be famous, do I have talent, well no
These days you don’t really need it thanks to reality shows
Can’t wait to date a supermodel, can’t wait to sue my dad
Can’t wait to wreck a Ferrari on my way to rehab
Draw Dead Things
This week I continue my theme of dead exhibits as seen at the Natural History Museum in Tring. Take a closer look at the centipedes heads for something unexpected, click ‘all sizes’ in flickr and have a scroll around. Smile!
