Fur...

I had a day off work today because I wasn't feeling to well.

So I went and had a look at all the DVDs we've got, struggling to find something new and I discovered I have a copy of "Fur". My heart was beating so fast. I was so excited. I'd forgotten I had burnt it last year... COUGH COUGH I mean acquired it in a legal way.

So I sat down to watch it.

I haven't been this excited in ages coz not only is it a story about one of my all time favourite artists Diane Arbus, it has one of my all time favourite actors in it Robert Downey Jr.

I know the whole story is fabricated, but it was still very touching. If you strip away the story to its bare minimum it is truly a story about being loved for who you are. Downey's portrayal of a man with hypertrichosis (also known as wolf man syndrome... I'll post a pic at the end) is heartbreaking.

Without sounding like a bit of a freak, I found when she shaved him very sexy, and when he was shown for what he truly is you realise that he is just as beautiful in and out.

Good Night
