Two things i just fucking love love love. That's my girl Monique and Italian woman.
I love to have the look and beauty of an Italian actress in the late 50's-early 60's. Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Anne Magnani, or even todays Asia Argento. Powerful sexuality, raw beauty with a hint of vulnerability. The curves, the loose hair, walk that just doesn't seem to care but always gets your attention. I never really looked to Marilyn Monroe or Betty Page as mentors for vintage beauty. Italian woman had teh real swagger. Sophia Loren could make Monroe burst into tears with just a sideways glance.
Monique is my girl . i love her. I love her at the Apollo, i watched the Parkers, I read her books and give them to my mom.I actually believed she could turn them hoes around on Charm school.
She is in this new movie Precious and i am interested to see her take on this very serious role as an abusive mother to a very vulnerable young girl.
I tried reading the book the film is based , Push by Sapphire. But it is written from the perspective of the near illiterate Precious.
