The Help movie

I went to a movie screening today of The Help, which I absolutely loved. Its a very inspirational and hopeful story of black women who work as maids (and the rest) in a 1960's Mississippi. The story is a painful one and very hard to think that this was just 50 years ago, but it is beautifully told, and shot. Not to mention the clothes are gorgeous, from the waspish prim ladies to the ambitious career-driven work wardrobe to the Marilyn-Monroe-a-like with a heart.

Please go and see it and love it like I do...you can also buy the book here.
