Gal Gadot is Tiffany and Co’s High Jewelry Ambassador

-
Wonder Woman tried on jewelry from the Blue Book 2022 collection called Botanica. Gal Gadot, best known since Wonder Woman, is the face of Tiffany & Co.'s new high jewelry collection. The 2022 Blue Book collection Botanica was inspired by nature. The brand's skilled artisans have reimagined classic Tiffany motifs, celebrating the beauty of multifaceted flora with their help. The result is masterpieces with unique diamonds and colored gemstones. In addition, decorations are filled with plants - from orchids and dandelions to wisteria and thistles. The photographs show the actress wearing the collection's key pieces, including a dandelion-inspired transformable diamond necklace that transforms into five unique pieces, an orchid-inspired transformable brooch, and a needle thistle-inspired diamond and sapphire necklace. I am incredibly proud to be part of the Blue Book's new high jewelry campaign and very fortunate to represent the most important jewelry collection in such an exciting time for the brand. "Gal Gadot is more than a House Ambassador. It embodies the effortless glamour, sheer sophistication, and innovative feel of Blue Book," said Alexander Arno, Executive Vice President of Product and Communications at Tiffany & Co. The campaign with Gal Gadot is the first advertising initiative of the House with the participation of the actress. In addition to the new Blue Book jewelry, Gal Gadot is featured in several of Jean Schlumberger's masterpieces, also part of Botanica, including his iconic Bird on a Rock brooch and Fleurage bracelet. A sophisticated creation was first brought to life by Tiffany & Co.; the Fleurage bracelet was created from a design Jean Schlumberger once considered for the iconic Tiffany Diamond. Connoisseurs will see references to Tiffany's creations from the past in the collection. For example, dandelion fluffs, one of the elements of Louis Comfort Tiffany's hair ornaments of the early 20th century, received a new interpretation in several diamond masterpieces.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
