News, Reviews & Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual women in Entertainment and the Media

Most radiant, exquisite, and unmatchable beauty.

So Pirategrrrl, I've gone and done it. I have created a forum where all fans of Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, and Emma Thompson can come and share the beauty!

I hope this forum will be a place of refuge to all who find it...

*Update: We've expanded our funland to include Kate Winslet, Rachel Wiesz and Helen Mirren...the more the merrier I say!

**Update, update: It's now a total free-for-all. Post anyone you want!

emma, cate, and tilda

*way-late edit* I'm mortified to admit that the original "Subject" of this post was "Saturday Smiles." I really have nothing to say in my defense...maybe too much saccharine with my morning coffee? But I don't use sweeteners... Anyhoo, it was some kind of witless aberration...now corrected! *end of way-late edit*

I think my favorite ...

(besides the photos) ... is the fact that you quoted Twelfth Night while posting photos.

Wouldn't Tilda make an excellent Viola? I think so too. Cate as Olivia? hmmmmm ... and Emma as Feste. Tis brilliant.

We should play this game more often. :D

Forget Tilda

*shock and apall!*

THEM'S FIGHTIN' WORDS!

I challenge you to a duel, Badass!  .... You can not find Tilda attractive all you want ... but don't rate her! She is unratable! Off-limits!

*throws down Jolly Roger*

A pox on your drool!

I smile, I grin, when the gal with a touch of sin walks in
I hope, and I pray, for a Hester to win just one more "A"

I am all the daughters of my father’s house,

And all the brothers too.

I think you have a distinct advantage in this game ;-)

so cute!

emma thompson is dykerifically adorable. *swoon!*
Radical Bradacal's picture

(S)he doth talk nothing but of [her] horse ...

Nah ... even *I* need to look up verse every once in awhile (like this one ... it's from Merchant of Venice ... couldn't remember). Shakespeare is too big for my brain. But yet, the game I was referring to is casting our favorite three in various and sundry things ... so really, I don't think I'm at an advantage at all.  

And thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges....

gypsywee's picture

thit is HI-larious

Same pic two different WS quotations...ha ha

 OK, that game sounds easier--I was afraid it had to be all Twelfth Night. :-)

Radical Bradacal's picture

impossible!

Quoting only Twelfth Night would be a fool's errand. We've already gone through half the good ones between us ... and my sigfile is another ... so really, we'd screw ourselves with frustration, royally. I wouldn't do that to either of us. :)

Thank gawd!

But I have to squeeze this one in...

Smiling at grief.

Nice piece of verse you've got there ...

My purpose is, indeed,

a horse of that colour. (OK, I"m already starting to struggle...but I won't give up!)

I am so sad.

I'm shifting to the classic movies on this one.

 BTW: I'm going to leap out of my chair and run screaming from the room if you've posted this pic.

LOL!

I almost did, but saw your post before I went fishing ... that *was* on my list though! :p

Tilda does Emma ...

No?

I came very close

to posting a "tilda does emma" with this one (though I bet Emma can button her shirt correctly!)

tilda/emma

Radical Bradacal's picture

You know ...

She would look radiant in burlap and shag carpeting.  

And thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges....

gypsywee's picture

Agreed...

and you know Tilda is very "fashion forward" so maybe I should start buttoning my shirt that way....? Hmmm
gypsywee's picture

OK, I think I've recovered

Still giggling a little. And love Tom Joad! Good call.

This could either be a nun from a Giotto painting...or the Unibomber.

tilda

Radical Bradacal's picture

I vote

Nun.

I don't think the unimobmber would pose in front of red brocade wallpaper. That's class, right there.

St. Theresa in ecstasy

Could be...?

I promise, all of the religious comparisons are a result of my useless degree in Art History, not a strong religious fervor.

No fear ...

I'm not affraid of religious references ... just our uncannily similar taste ...

As Christian Bale ...

I really wish I could be this androgynous ... I would find it immensely freeing.

gypsywee's picture

Cate-alike? And almost nekid

She's not her usual androgynous self in this little gem ;-).

 She kind of looks like Cate...

tilda

I agree with you about wanting to be androgynous--it explains my inability (read: lack of desire) to commit to butch or femme. I can lean either direction on any given day, but gererally like to remain firmly in the middle.

Radical Bradacal's picture

resounding YES!

Definitely. I am the same. My problem with ultimately Tilda-esque [re: awesome!] androgyny has to do with the general chest area. *sighs dejectedly*

We all have our cross to bear

I share your affliction(s)--somewhat. I suppose with enough Ace bandages I could fix it, but I suspect it would be uncomfortable and still come off kinda bulky.
Radical Bradacal's picture

I have.

... with the ace bandages (for a few shows) ... it is terribly uncomfortable. But even the Ace doesn't make them go away, completely. Not that I hate them ... they're just ... in the way.

File that away under TMI.  

 

And thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges....

rotezora's picture

I could pull it off

and do, often, even without intending to.

No bandages required!

(Kate Bush, "Cloudbusting") 

FirstDibs's picture

Me too.

Easily and gladly.

However-- it doth bring to mind that scene in Shakespeare in Love wherein Ms. Paltrow is getting unwrapped like a luscious gift.

Which suggests a new thread-- post photos of ourselves in ace bandages, as a beautiful (and possibly even significant) lark. For privacy we could keep them cropped, just show waist to lovely collarbone...

or waist to lovely neck and chin...

or even as high as the subject's pretty mouth and still preserve anonymity.

I'd do it. Anyone else up for it? Heck if no one but me is interested I think I might go ahead and make this my next video project.

P.S. to possibly alarmed moderators, if this is against the rules, I'm just kidding. LOL. (Seriously, is it against the AE rules??)

gypsywee's picture

Rules shmules!

We've gotten away with a lot more than some bandaged boobies! I'm in...but you have to go first!

Warning: Once you've seen all of my unsightly bulges, you'll probably ask a moderator to delete the thread!

Radical Bradacal's picture

erm ...

*I* won't post, but I'll fully support everyone else. Pussy-like? Yes it is. But in true Pirate fashion, I'm running away .....

 

Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates. [Mark Twain]

gypsywee's picture

Don't be afraid PG!

I'm planning on finding myself a really sexy stand-in. I'm sure boobie-doubles are permitted. I have many rascally friends who would more than happy to comply! Is that cheating?
Radical Bradacal's picture

I would say ...

Cate as Katherine Hepburn, but gee, how unoriginal.

So I'll go with Cate as The Great Gatsby. 

(you have art pieces, I have literature ... the only art history class I took in college was about the history of American architecture ... sad, I know ...)

Multi-tasking (eeeuww I hate those words)

I'm going to start making lots o' typos because I'm writing as I lead a conference call (so naughty!).

Love Kate and Gatsby.

Here's another smokin' pic:

I love it!

I love that you're leading a conference call and posting at the same time ... because I do that too. :)

Here's your reward (Cate does Tilda, semi-androgyny style!):
