As I explained in last week's entry I'll be back to posting my regular Friday entries shortly. In saying that I do appreciate your patience and as always your comments.
I can't believe September has arrived. It seemed like only yesterday it was June! My, how time flies. The weather is still hot and muggy up here in The Great White North but it's only a matter of time when the weather will turn from extremely hot to brutally cold. And needless to say I for one am not looking forward to that.
Are any of my lovelies Taylor Swift fans? I think she's quite a talented artist. I like her music and her videos. Speaking of videos, have you checked out her latest song titled, "Wildest Dreams." The video debuted this past Sunday during the MTV Awards.
The video was directed by Joseph Kahn and revolves around two 1950s-era movie stars-- played by Taylor Swift and Scott Eastwood, son of Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood. Yes, the same Clint Eastwood that was seen talking to an empty chair at the 2012 Republican Convention.
I happen to think the song and video is absolutely beautiful but not everyone feels the same way. Critics were quick to condemn the video as being racist, and based on a glamorous white colonial fantasy."
Excuse me while I roll my eyes. Seriously?! Some people really do have too much time on their hands nit-picking or finding the worst in every teeny, little thing.
Director Joseph Kahn defended his work:
'Wildest Dreams is a song about a relationship that was doomed, and the music video concept was that they were having a love affair on location away from their normal lives. This is not a video about colonialism but a love story on the set of a period film crew in Africa, 1950."
"The video is based on classic Hollywood romances like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, as well as classic movies like The African Queen, Out of Africa and The English Patient, to name a few."
So my Lovelies, what are your thoughts about the video "Wildest Dreams?"
Oh and by the way, is Scott not the spitting image of his dad in his younger days? Wow! And of course the obvious--- Scott is one handsome man.

My loyal and dear readers, it's finally Friday.
Whatever your plans are have a wonderful Looooong Weekend.~x
