Everything you always wanted to know about the environment…..

11th June 2009 by Helena 2 Comments  

….but were afraid to ask is in this excellent film: www.youtube.com/homeproject. Watch it, it is compelling and very scary. Added to which the filming is stunning.

I am in Paris which has to be the most lovely city on earth. I came over the interview the designer Agnes b. She is lovely; warm, friendly and fun. She has five children and 14 grandchildren, as well as hundreds of clothes shops across the globe, art galleries, a boat that does environmental research and several restaurants. And she’s going to direct a film (which she wrote) next year. Talk about multi-tasking.

Tomorrow we head back to London and then home to Abu Dhabi on Sunday. I leave you with a less depressing image than the above film. Leonardo the King making his world cyber ballet debut. Have a lovely weekend.

    Gosh, you’re so lucky to be interviewing all these people – after
    reading an article on Agnes B I was eaten up with envy at her
    lifestyle, attractive, successful and unconventional, and still
    having fun – what’s not to like? Hope you’ll share your thoughts
    with us afterwards about her. Leo and the little fellow at the back – they’re so sweet they made me laugh but what is that
    gigantic fairy/queen doing beside them? Ready to give them a swat with her wand? Fairy tale feminism or they couldn’t find any bigger boys for her?

    Hope the trip was went well.
