Midnight Express (1978)
Billy Hayes (Brad Davis) is caught attempting to smuggle drugs out of Turkey. The Turkish courts decide to make an example of him, sentencing him to more than 30 years in prison. Hayes has two opportunities for release: the appeals made by his lawyer, his family, and the American government, or the "Midnight Express". This movie being based on a true life episode, shows consequences that can occur in other countries when breaking the law. I had seen the movie several years ago and still think it is very good.

Cute, fun, goofy, retro, up-to-the-minute, oversized, undersized, nostalgic, utterly useless but cannot live without, gross, crafty, environmentally responsible and simply fabulous - that is only the beginning of the online curiosity shop (and now brick-and-mortar Brooklyn darling) that is Fred Flare. And now the wild and crazy guys, Keith and Chris, behind the scenes have recorded their first single, oh-so-aptly named "sparkle pop." You human sparklers are the online equivalent of the Candy Man. Looking forward to more even more ebullience in the coming decade . . . making people smile is no small thing.

While the benefits of DIY have received wide acclaim in previous decades (see: This Old House, Martha Stewart Living, Elle Decor ), it took a supermodel to turn it into an prime-time reality bonanza. With a little help from Tim Gunn, Nina Garcia and a rotating roster of visiting fashionistas, Heidi Klum has given the world a glimpse of the hearts and minds and, yes, the sewing machines of fashion design wannabes. As far as this Runway goes, you have to sew it to be in it.

Bindi the Jungle Girl (daughter of Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter) has been following in her dad's footsteps since birth. She won me over during a cameo performance on "The Wiggles" but has since garnered her own show on Discovery Kids, promoting wildlife appreciation and environmental awareness. And, along with Beau Bridges, she will soon be coming to a movie theatre near you in "Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove." Only 11 and she's already leading the charge to save the planet and its ever-growing list of endangered species . . . she's the jungle girl to watch.

And Madonna skipped across the Pond. But, with a deft flick of her wrist, Beyonce took up where the beat left off, using her show-stopping choreography and eye-popping curves to breathe life back into the music video. And, now, that slick little hand gesture is recognized by nearly everyone as the universal symbol of twenty-first century groove.

Ok maybe 'not so much' when it comes to me. I was, after all, recently spotted making the dreaded "rock on" hand signal while failing entirely to find the beat on the dance floor. Sigh. I can't cover ALL the bases ALL of the time. Fine. The truth. "Hello, my name is Fiona and I can't dance. Well, except the jig." So I'm focusing my expertise on keeping up with the musicians since the beat gave me the finger and ran away years ago. I use Ministry of Sound's 24/7 radio not only for personal enterainment but also as musical Cliff Notes to see what's up and who's up and coming. And, it could be said, to hear the songs I will NOT be dancing to. Shh.. don't tell anyone I'm really not that cool. Well except for the people who saw me dancing. They already know that.
