# emma thompson in tutti frutti is and will forever be so smoking hot so thoroughly attractive with her short hair and pretty face omg that to this day she warps local scottish spacetime what's bizarre is looking back over her cinematic past one is filled with a distinctly theatrical sense of history of backstages waiting around press junkets and countless interviews fading posters for old shows on antique iron stairwells leading to slightly dusty dressing rooms smelling faintly of old lace and spilled champagne for what kind of life indeed is live lived entirely on-stage perhaps similar to one somewhere deep within the vast high desert expanse of a republic and yet also surrounded by so many luvvies and darlinks - to ride for free on an unceasing whirlwind of privilege bouquets of gifted flowers grown by the working class the little accompanying note sharing a private in-joke endless sophisticated and intensely secure gated holidays by the italian shoreline one almost begins to wonder if one pays too high a social price for that wide brilliant and sexy smile for how different how very different one's home life feels from that of our own dear cultural elites // republic of bob
