And look how well she turned out.

The people behind the 10 Days In Dublin festival end their Fund It campaign tomorrow.
The festival includes all types of art or performance: music, comedy, theatre, film, painting, sculpture and what have you.
If you can’t help you may want to visit one or all of the 10 days between July 4-13.
10DID sez
This year we will have over 200 acts performing all around the capital in venues ranging from the The Workman’s, Smock Alley and The Irish Writers’ Centre.
Over the last two years the 10DID team [Dan Bergin, Rob Kearns, Jack Berrill and Colm McNally] have stewarded 10 Days in Dublin from having a relatively small programme into the largest open format festival in Ireland.
This year we are looking to break new ground by providing dedicated supports for Film, Visual Arts & Spoken Word.
We need you to help us help the artists showcase the vibrant work that this city has to offer and continue to make 10DID the only true showcase for all art in the city.
The festival’s programme will be launched online this evening and the Fund It campaign closes at midday TOMORROW.
When attacks on the media take place they are not solely attacks on individual journalists as they attempt to inform the public without fear for their personal safety or their economic wellbeing.
They are also attacks on the very foundations of human rights, undermining the public good and the creation of democratic societies underpinned by a freely operating press.”President Higgins at the International Federation of Journalists world conference taking place in Dublin.
You must be free to tell truth without fear, Higgins tells world’s journalists (Fiach Kelly, Irish Independent)
Meanwhile, in March:
What you may need to know:
1. Those anticipating a Bobby De Niro renaissance after his Oscar nominated turn in Silver Linings Playbook (2012) should check The Big Wedding (2013), currently screening in Irish cinemas. Or not. It’s BRUTAL.
2. The Family is by Euro thriller specialist Luc Besson, who’s been directing less and producing more of late, most notably the Taken movies.
3. Bobby De & Tommy Lee have both perfected what can only be described as their ‘see if I give a bollocks, I’m getting paid, bitches’ faces.
4. Michelle Pfeiffer doesn’t do too many movies these days. Also, she hasn’t aged in about twenty years, which FREAKS US OUT.
5. Hey, it’s Quinn from Glee! Is that still, like, a thing?
6. Prognosis: Bobby, give Marty a bell.
