My hubby treated me to a early afternoon movie, We saw the movie The Other Boleyn GirlI LOVE history. The costumes were so elaborate and very detailed,
This post is really a personal diary note journey
As I was watching the movie all I could see was a EFA created as Anne Boleyn!
I immediately started to do my research on Anne Boleyn, What the era was like 1500's

Anne Boleyn is remembered for her brilliance, glamour, elegance, and for the incredible hold she held on King Henry for such a long time. Many do not realize that Anne Boleyn was the mother of Elizabeth I, who inherited Anne's facial features and various facets of her personality. Anne would have been very proud of her daughter.
Anne Boleyn is remembered for SO much more also! I will continue to share with you ,
What a fascinating true life,and so much true history

What a coincidence ... I have just finished watching the movie Elizabeth (first movie) because I am all settled in to watch the second one ... wanted a refresher first ... while having a cuppa I was blog hopping & landed here ... I had the same thoughts when I saw the beautiful costumes in Elizabeth ... some she only wears for a few minutes on screen ... all that beautiful & exquisite detailing ... now I'll have to seek out "The Other Boleyn Girl" ... isn't it fascinating ... the threads that bind & lead us to each other with such like minded interests ... well off now to watch Elizabeth - The Golden Age and drool over more costumes ... thanks for sharing ... I really enjoyed my visit here ...
