How to be an actress Lights, camera, Adams

A

my Lou Adams was born on August 20, 1974, in Vicenza, Italy. She was the fourth of seven children born to Americans Kathryn and Richard Kent Adams, with her father stationed at Caserma Ederle military base at the time of her birth. The Adams family, which was Mormon, relocated from one base to another until they settled in Castle Rock, Colorado when Adams was about 8 years old.

Adams sang in the Douglas County High School choir and, aspiring to become a ballerina, trained as an apprentice at a local dance company. Later, she decided the rigidity of ballet training was ill-suited for her, and she began to pursue a career in musical theater instead.

Academy Award Nomination In the mid-1990s, Adams worked as a dancer at a number of different theaters and playhouses in Colorado and Minnesota. By the end of the decade, she landed her first film role in the comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous. Shortly thereafter, encouraged by co-star Kirstie Alley, Adams relocated to Los Angeles and auditioned for more roles. She landed one on a FOX television series, but it was later canceled.

Adams went on to appear in several small

films and guest star on TV series. She was also chosen to appear in Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can (2002) as Brenda Strong—a role that, according to Spielberg, should have launched Adams’s career. But it wasn’t until she starred in the 2005 film Junebug that Adams made her breakthrough: She received an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress as well as a Special Jury Prize for her performance after Junebug premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival.

Adams has continued to take on an array of roles to much acclaim. She has earned additional Academy Award nominations for roles in the serious dramas The Fighter (2010), directed

by David O. Russell, and The Master (2012), directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. In 2013, she entered comic-book fandom with her portrayal of reporter Lois Lane in Man of Steel, with Adams reprising her role for the 2016 sequel Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. She again appeared opposite Fighter co-star Christian Bale in the ensemble cast of American Hustle, once again helmed by Russell. Adams was nominated for yet another Oscar, her first for lead actress and this time for her role as a ‘70s-era con artist caught in a web of conflicting interests. She also won a Golden Globe for the performance.

Sculpture in the City

Above: ‘The Architect’, sculptured by Jilly Sutton on the Southbank, London. 2011-2012 Below left: Forever by Ai Weiwei installation 2015.

Right: Regular fixture - Resolution (2007) by Anthony Gormley, Corner of St. Bride Street and Shoe Lane. (nearest tube St. Pauls) The Project Founded in 2010, Sculpture in the City is a collaborative enterprise between the City of London Corporation (the elected body that looks after the Square Mile’s global business district around St Paul’s cathedral), local businesses and the art world. “The point”, so the Sculpture in the City website tells us, “is to engage new audiences with works by established and emerging contemporary artists”.

Sculpture in the City is not only an opportunity to see engaging works in unusual settings, it is also a celebration of the collage of time, material and design that exist in the city, and makes for a place unusually rich in contrast and story. A dynamic yearly public art exhibition in the City of London, launching each summer with a new selection of contemporary art pieces placed in and around the Square Mile.

New works this summer are currently being installed. The exhibitions runs from June 28 including pieces by Mat Collishaw, Ugo Rondinone and Sarah Lucas.

Positive effects of public sculpture Community art can create attachment to one’s community.

According to Penny Balkin Bach, (Author of Public Art in Philadelphia and Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Association for Public Art) studies have looked at the economic development benefits of art, but only just recently have there been wider examinations of the effect of art on a community’s sense of place. The Knight Foundation’s Soul of the Community initiative surveyed some 43,000 people in 43 cities and found that “social offerings, openness and welcome-ness,” and, importantly, the “aesthetics of a place – its art, parks, and green spaces,” ranked higher than education, safety, and the local economy as a “driver of attachment.”

Beyond the spectacle of public art environment.

StyleLikeU Elisa and Lily, a mother-daughter team bound together by our passion to spread self-acceptance through style.

F

rom the moment we are born, the fashion and beauty marketing machine saturates us with monolithic and unattainable notions of beauty and fashion.

Obsessed with youth, meaningless consumption, photoshopped “perfection,” and celebrity-worship, we have been brainwashed to hate our bodies, dread aging, yearn for fame over integrity, and spend our lives paralyzed by a desire to fit in.

Six years ago we created StyleLikeU as alternative to this unconscious self-hate.

Home to a series of radically honest docustyle video portraits that redefine our culture’s notion of beauty, each piece of our content is driving public engagement around the reversal of the fashion and beauty industry’s crippling status quo.

By featuring the diverse stories of unapologetic individuals who are true to themselves and comfortable in their skin, you will be empowered to discover that same sense of freedom and comfort in your own skin

In 2009, we picked up a home video camera and began to document real people with original personal style. We interviewed people of all ages, body types, races and genders, all of whom were being submerged in a sea of cookie-cutter norms. Their journey toward self-discovery took us along with them, leading each of us to our own self-discoveries.

Instead of feeling excluded and disenchanted, we felt connected and inspired.

Documentary In November 2014, we launched a Kickstarter campaign to support the production of a documentary film that will capture our viral video series, The What’s Underneath Project, on its road to becoming a global movement for self-acceptance. The campaign was a wild success and in just 18 days, we reached our initial goal of $100k. by the end of the monthlong campaign, we raised a total of $135,655.

The film is in production as we speak and we’re aiming to bring it to you in the Spring of 2017.

Vintage miles The treasure hunter looks for gold.

A

t a time when vintage Ferraris are selling for record sums, it seems timely then to look at why this legendary brand evokes so much desire. Given recent stories of rusting treasures found in anonamus barns - we may even excuse a new band of treasure hunter sctractching around deralict huts enable to unearth a piece of golden history.

No other automobile name conjours an image of romance to the same degree. ‘Time machine’ - one very apt discription of this beloved force on the road.

What’s all the fuss?

Put simply, the car combines a highly tuned engine with a very light weight body. It also has high performance transmission, and a low gearing in the rear-end.

The first road car by Ferrari was the 125 Sport. Throughout the 1950s, Enzo Ferrari’s fast cars developed a reputation for excellence.

Enzo Ferrari felt that many of his customers bought his vehicles for prestige instead of performance.

America are inexorably linked with a history that stretches back five decades. The United States brought the small Italian firm

financial stability during its formative years via a number of wealthy enthusiasts eager to acquire machines that were competitive on almost any track.

Today, America remains Ferrari’s most important market and a culture enamored by the House that Enzo Built. America take 25 to 30 percent of the company’s annual production, exhibiting a devotion that’s grown exponentially over the years. For Ferrari’s 50th anniversary celebration in New York on April 29 to May 2 1997, the top of the Empire State Building was lit in red for the first time ever.

At the celebration itself at Rockefeller Center, a man approached a Ferrari employee, holding a photo of a 360 Spider. “I waited three-anda-half years to get this car,” he beamed, “and I just picked it up at the dealership two weeks ago.”

Next year will be Ferrari’s 70th Anniversay.

“If you can dream it, you can do it.”

The largest gin selection by far.

ondoners love gin – that one is a given. Forget the places which claim to have the largest gin selection in London because that title now goes to the Holborn Dining Room at Rosewood London with the launch of their Gin Bar last spring.

With a British emphasis to the restaurant in general, it only seems fitting that their next spirit offering embodies a very British love and so the walls will be adorned with 400 different gins. Yes, 400. The Gin library will feature over a hundred gins distilled in the UK such as the Northumberland Gin Company’s Steam Punk Gin and the award-winning Japaneseinspired Jinzu which is a London Dry gin with hints of cherry blossom and Junmai sake.

International gins will include the likes of Buss no.509 White Rain – a gin made from Belgian botanicals and a cognac-based gin PinkPepper with spicy notes.

It will also host other types of gins such as those which have had colours and flavourings added to them post distillation such as the Pinkster raspberry gin and more unusual

offerings like Finland’s Kyrö small-batch Rye gin. Want a classic gin cocktail, they’ll be mixing those up as well think Vespas and Aviation. They’re also be 20 genevers – which if you didn’t know is gin’s predecessor and is in fact the inspiration for the term ‘Dutch Courage’, see you’re learning something new every day.

Of course to drink the gin you’ll need tonic water and at The Gin Bar they’ll have no less than 27 tonic waters including everything from Merchant’s Heart to Fever Tree and a signature tonic made in house with a top secret recipe. So with 400 gins and 27 tonic waters apparently there will be 14,035 different combinations – we tried to do the maths, we couldn’t but basically there will be a lot. So if you’re indecisive you’re going to need to work on that. Prices will range from £9 for a Rathbone Dry Gin up to £52 for the rare 1950s Taplows London Dry Gin.
