Benedetta Porcaroli will join Sydney Sweeney and an expanded cast in the upcoming 2024 film ‘Immaculate’.
The minute AOC saw Benedetta Porcaroli playing in a film ‘Immaculate’, we knew we were headed straight for the Vatican.
The principal photography took place in Rome and finished in February 2023. It’s the first film produced by the ‘Euphoria Star’ under her ‘Fifty-Fifty Films’ company, which Sweeney founded in 2020.

/
Actor, humanitarian, mother and global leader is profiled in the December 2023 issue of WSJ Magazine, with deeply personal photographs of Jolie wearing offerings from Atelier Jolie, shot by Annemarieke Van Drimmelen [IG] with styling by Tonne Goodman.
One of the most profound realities that she discussed with WSJ is her favorite people to spend time with.
“There’s a reason people who have been through hardship are also much more honest and much more connected, and I am more relaxed with them. Why do I like spending time with people who’ve survived and are refugees? They’ve confronted so much in life that it brings forward not just strength, but humanity.”
Anne of Carversville has trekked behind Jolie on all of her endeavors since 2007. She is the founding muse of this website — a reality that disturbs many men.
Many of them cannot stand Jolie, and I truly do not know why. Perhaps I should ask my AI assistant Lulu to investigate this question.

EmRata Wears Victor & Rolf Couture in Numero #243, Talks Being "A Body, Not a Mind”
/
Victor & Rolf muse Emily Ratajkowski, aka EmRata, is interviewed by newly-named head of the culture Violaine Schütz [IG], for Numero #243 out now.
Not all French women are so positive about a declared feminist like EmRata. Remember when French Vogue March 2022 ran a cover message that we’re living in a post feminist world now and there’s no need for women to be divisive any longer . . .
Schütz zeroes in on a key EmRata theme: " You thought you were a mind, but you're a body "

Mario Testino’s ‘Master Class’ Resonates for Women’s Rights in 2024 Election
/
Always commenting on fashion stories beyond any style trend, AOC wrote in 2011:
Fall’s strict attitude borders on religious fervor but also brings to mind the fact that the new Dutch republic was the most prosperous nation in Europe, leading the continent in trade, science and art. This came about at the end of the European religious wars that spawned the Protestant Reformation and revolt against the Catholic Church.
Anne’s Reflections
As I reposted this ‘Master Class’ 2011 fashion story by Mario Testino for British Vogue, I found myself thinking about American history back to the founding of our country and also the changes in the last 50 years of America.
It was a Protestant-dominant, moderate US Supreme Court who gave women the right to abortion and contraception in 1973, based on constitutional arguments.
Five decades later, a disproportionately-conservative, Catholic-dominant Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
This Roberts court is not finished giving state governments absolute control over women’s bodies. AOC will educate readers and fight for the return of our hard-won rights in the 2024 elections. ~ Anne
