Finds in L’Express Outlook
Two finds in l’Express worthy of mention here:
L’Express Outlook reports the upcoming Masturbate-a-thon — yes, that exists — due to take place in Clerkenwell, London, this week-end. I commute through Clerkenwell everyday, and was naturally intrigued. But, I am also curious what made the editors think that the event would interest the majority of its readers, who are based more than 6000 miles from the venue.
The other find is the piece about an Iraqi woman’s blog adapted into a play that is to be presented at the Ediburgh Fringe Arts Festival. In the past, we have seen Belle de Jour, the blog-diary of a London call-girl, turned into a successful book deal. The obvious question that comes to mind is, how long before a movie that is inspired from a blog? Or, has it been done already?
