Review: The Iron Lady

2012-01-22T15:13:00.000Z

I'm a sucker for political films, especially those which portray real-life leaders at the height of their power.

The Iron Lady was no exception and despite my political differences, I was looking forward to seeing it at my local cineplex.

I was born in the UK during the last year of Thatcher's reign and am well aware of her political biography and the importance of her legacy as the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. I was interested to see how Phyllida Lloyd and her team would portray the Iron Lady, weaving in the highs and lows of her career, and of course to see how Streep could turn her ever-talented persona to Mrs T's iconic voice and stature.

Sadly I was disappointed by what I saw. Whilst I knew that Thatcher's dementia would be a subject of the screenplay I was surprised as to how forcefully it took a starring role. Dementia is an important subject and whilst Lloyd was I believe right to include it in the film, she could have portrayed it in a different way, and not relied on it so much to 'break up' flashback scenes.

Historical events such as the Falklands War and the disputes with the unions were tackled and rightly so, despite many historical inaccuracies. Similarly, the assassination of Airey Neave was portrayed in the film, albeit it inaccurately.

Whilst the film had its negatives, its biggest positive was Streep's performance. She had the accent, the stature, body language and importantly appearance completely accurate, and at times you did wonder if you were watching Streep or Mrs Thatcher herself on the big screen.

There is no doubt that The Iron Lady will do well at this year's awards season, and perhaps Streep will win her long-overdue third Oscar.

Despite my reservations, I would encourage readers to see the film for themselves and to form their own judgement on what they will see. Films like The Iron Lady are also welcome in the arts community, especially if they raise debate and cause conversation.

The Beauty of Aesop

2012-01-20T15:47:00.000Z

I've recently been trying out products from the Aesop brand, and am mightily impressed by my experience. Given three travel size products from a relative, I was reluctant to try another new shampoo, but am so glad that I did! Aesop's Gentle Scalp Cleansing Shampoo is absolutely fantastic and injects new life into my hair each time I use it.

Similarly, the Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser has tickled my fancy, with a gorgeous smell and smooth texture.

Aesthetically, the brown looking medicinal looking bottles help to make the Australian brand a timeless classic, and are the perfect addition and investment to your bathroom shelf and daily beauty routine.

Miss Representation: The Media vs. Women and Girls

2012-01-12T19:27:00.000Z

I finally had the opportunity last weekend to watch the documentary 'Miss Representation,' and was amazed by what I saw.

Getty

As someone who has recently completed their Masters thesis on the representation of Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton by the American media, I was well aware of the challenges women in public life face by news outlets. The documentary is compelling viewing, featuring interviews with girls of all ages, as well as female activists including Geena Davis, Katie Couric, Gloria Steinem and Nancy Pelosi.

Perhaps the most shocking part for me as a politico, was the clips (both visual and audio) of political commentators and news channels discussing women such as Clinton and Pelosi in a derogatory fashion. These events were not new to me, but to see them repeated again so harshly reinforced the challenges women in public life face.

Getty

The documentary is essential viewing for those investigating issues of gender, equality and femininity in public life, and discusses the impact of television, film, the media and politics on girls. Jennifer Siebel Newsom has done a fantastic job in creating this piece of film which will, I hope, inspire women across America and indeed the world to stand up and make a difference.

How can you make a difference today? Mentor a women in your community, encourage young girls to gain vital educational skills, seek out strong women in public life as role models and even host a screening of Miss Representation in a local school or university. Change begins with you!

Remembering Tucson: One Year On

Bells will ring nineteen times this morning, once for each of the victims of the Tucson shooting which occurred one year ago today. Tonight a candlelit vigil will be held to remember the victims, and will be attended by Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband Capt. Mark Kelly.

I will be remembering today by focusing upon my Peace Love Gabby bracelet which I have worn constantly since it arrived on my doorstep in February 2011. I will also begin reading Rep. Giffords's recently released autobiography, which has received strong reviews from across the country.

However you choose to remember, say a prayer for the victims and their families and never forget Tucson.

Go Forth and Mentor!

2012-01-07T17:27:00.000Z

We all know someone in our lives- either professional or personal, who has acted as a mentor towards us. Mentors are invaluable, providing moral and emotional support, inspiring us to do better and cheering us on to achieve our goals.

Donna Brazile, an inspiration for women across America

I have been fortunate to have several mentors- my MA thesis supervisor was the best person I could have asked for, encouraging me when the research became overwhelming and providing advice and new avenues to investigate. I am also fortunate to work alongside strong women in the political arena, whose accomplishments and sense of humour make giving back to the community an absolute honour. There are those who were there at specific times, such as the Intern Coordinator during my House of Representatives internship who helped to make the experience one of the best in my life.

MS. Magazine recently featured an article by the great Donna Brazile on their blog, advocating her role as a mentor for over 300 individuals. It is inspiring reading, and I support Brazile's call for us to embrace mentoring in 2012, either by becoming a mentor or a mentee.

The First Lady participates in a mentoring campaign, with individuals including Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, Valerie Jarrett, Kerry Washington and Michelle Kwan all signing up to lend their support.

So search for a mentor in your particular field- write a letter to someone you admire, ask for Top 5 tips from a successful individual in an area that interests you or even establish your own mentoring programme in a local college, university or community group. Change begins with you!

Michelle Obama Moodboard: The Miriam Haskell Archive

2011-12-27T16:06:00.000Z

Michelle Obama continues to positively influence us here at Political Style, particularly in her selection of fabulous original costume jewellery. Many of her recent pieces are by the legendary designer Miriam Haskell, all of which are particularly striking.

Haskell began designing costume jewellery in the 1920s, alongside her friend and colleague Coco Chanel, with individuals including the Duchess of Windsor, Lucille Ball, Joan Crawford, Suzy Parker and Madeleine Albright amongst those who have fallen in love with Haskell's designs. Each piece is handcrafted in Haskell's New York studio, where vintage filigree backings from the 1940s, 50s and 60s are incorporated into the stunning designs.

Michelle Obama adorned several of Haskell's pieces in 2011, including a magnificent jewelled bronze cuff bracelet (above) at the Women of Courage Ceremony on March 8th.

The First Lady wore this elegant jewelled chandelier earrings during the State Visit to El Salvador on March 22nd.

Mrs O turned again to Haskell for an interview on the Today Show on February 9th, with these multi beaded earrings adorning her ears.

Miriam Haskell is one of our featured designers for 2012, so watch out for more posts about her gorgeous creations!

The First Family attended the annual Christmas in Washington celebration at the National Building Museum yesterday. All were in suitable festive attire, with the First Lady wearing a bottle green dress with a criss crossed neckline. Malia and Sasha looked fabulous, wearing a satin yellow A line dress and purple prom dress respectively.

Earlier in the day the First Family attended a service at St. John's Church in Lafayette Park and bundled up against the cold weather in some fantastic winter coats!
