A Guy and a Lipstick Part 3 - a long way to go

“This is no story of death and grief. It is a story of love and learning. This is a story of reunion and how a forced separation was healed by a miracle,” Anutu said many times in this heart-gripping series.
Here is what the author told me about this family reunion series:
"I am an upcycling artist and interior designer, but since ever, I loved to write. It took me about 20 years to finally write about the life of my aunt and my family. I needed the time to reflect on all the lessons of life and love, that I have learned and that came with it. I am happy that I finally opened up and now tell it. I will for sure continue her story, that became so much an important part of my life." –
This is a story of a forced family separation—in what seemed like a disbanding of genealogical and historical association of a family post war—from the perspective of a family who faced the pain first hand, and for many generations. The wonder is how Anutu made this a story of love, hope, persistence, and every attribute positive. Currently on its fourth part, I invite you to follow this family account of a beautiful story that crossed oceans and cultures, spanned decades, tore down regional sentiments, and offers hope.

According to the author's description of this installment of the series, “A young knight is sent across the sea to bring back a bride for his king, but the situation gets tangled when he and the girl accidentally drink a love potion, causing the two to spend the next few years of their lives outwitting the king, his lords, and a sneaky dwarf.”
This is only part of something bigger: a screenplay that all started when Stephie picked up a copy of a medieval literature piece of Joseph Bédier, The Romance of Tristan for €2, which she adapted as a comedy. On her blog she did what "everyone knows that you're not supposed to do:" put your screenplay on the internet.
Aside from share her screenplay, the author blogs her journey and experiences as a filmmaker.
Here's the reasoning that justifies her choice:
"Times, they are a-changin.' The birth of the digital age has changed paradigms such as video-on-demand (Netflix, iTunes, Hulu) and a recent phenomenon whereby producers actually admit they are more likely to back a film project idea that has a huge social media following than one that has won a prize at a festival!
"So I decided to stop sticking to the safe and sure but ever mysterious protocols of how you are supposed to break into Hollywood and do something I haven't seen before: make my script public so it can develop its own following."
Read Stephie's screenplay and follow her blog for more quality contents.

Dele is young and talented, and displays this mostly through his music. Medicine is a single track written and voiced by him, and chronicles an overwhelming passion for a lady, whom according to Dele, “she blowing my mind like a medicine”.

A melancholic expression to the beautiful town of Lisbon in the form of a letter. Christina pours out her feeling about the beauty she experienced from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. At the dock by the large train station, Cais do Sodré. With a €10 wine, local music and people either in their solitude or contained exuberance.
"Your evenings are melancholy and so beautiful, so beautiful it made me want to cry. Deyta sat there and she felt it too. We brought a bottle of wine and drank it in your honor, soaking in the last orange tinge in your skyline with a longing we didn't know existed." –
With the accompanying original high contrast pictures, this is a beautiful post, and it's got some soul. You will enjoy it.
Join Christina and Deyta say hi to Portugal.
