Bridgerton is going to be 'a feast for the eyes',with its elegant palaces and aristocratic people. Beneath the elegance and glittering - some ugly struggles for power, though.
ReplyDelete(I think they've got a young, israeli born actress on the cast: Odaya Rush).
I did not know she was Israeli!
DeleteKudos to Djokovic for his victory at Wimbledon! Well done! Great Honorfor the serbian people!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Duta! We are so proud of him especially as he uncouth and primitive British audience and their whole public was rudely against him for the sole reason that he is a Serb :( He showed them right, again :) He is such a good person, a positive role model, and a very generous benefactor to those in need, and yet the Western media constantly berate him and try to lower his importance and success, even though most of the things he achieved in tennis have never been achieved before him.
DeleteWell said Dez!
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you, sir!
DeleteWhat a pretty cast! I can’t wait to see the costumes and set design!
ReplyDeleteI imagine it will be a bit on the cheap side as Shonda's Still Star Crossed was, sadly.
