Thanks for your posts Kochie!

I didn't know what these events were about so after a quick search here's an extract of an article I found on http://v10.vday.org/node/632.

This woman is amazing, beautiful inside and out!

Actress Kerry Washington, who spent four months in New Orleans while filming "Ray" in 2004 with Jamie Foxx, returns to perform not only in "The Vagina Monologues" but also the local debut of "Swimming Upstream," a play created and performed by local writers and actors.

She, like Ensler, embraces the concept of turning the Superdome into "a home of healing as opposed to the nightmare that it was during the storm."
She was particularly touched by a piece Ensler wrote for the New Orleans monologues comparing a woman's vagina and violence to New Orleans and the response to the storm.

The government's refusal to answer the cries of this city, Washington said, is very much like ignoring the cries of women who face violence around the world.

"I was so moved by the idea of doing the show (here)," she said.

"The world had stared in horror that this was going on.

Now we are transforming that space physically and spiritually into a home of healing as opposed to the nightmare it was before the storm," she said of the Superlove event that precedes Saturday night's performance.

"It makes sense that the Superdome will be the place where women can come to heal."

Oh and I just found the trailer for Kerry's new movie: "Lakeview Terrace".

I can't figure out how to embed the video so here's the link, hoping it'll work.
Edit: it's embeded! Lol!

^^^ I wish she didn't have a role playing someone's wife/girlfriend (it seems that's all she ever gets to do!), but I know it's difficult for women in Hollywood.

and i agree with you wheresmyumbrella, it would be nice to see her as a lead independent woman in a film

Isn't she in Cannes with team L'Oreal? I can't wait to see her red carpet choice.

It's even more difficult for black and latin women to have good roles in hollywood compared to "white" actresses.

She has great style. Love the black satin Malindrino.

Kery just presented The Palme d'Or for the best short film!

Sadly, the dress was really not to my taste. Very princessy, a light blue bustier, puffy gown.

I saw The Dead Girl last night and she did an awesome job.
She's such an awesome actress.
