Mr and Mrs Smith describe the El Fenn in Marrakech, Morocco: "A 28-room labyrinth with three sheltered courtyards, El Fenn hotel is a serene, shady enclosure that offers an art-gallery-worthy respite from the outside world of bustling Marrakech. Lanterns light a sultry courtyard with a marble fountain in this colourful, avante-garde hideaway, complete with carved antique wood doors and a well-stocked library. Modern statement pieces sit pretty amid restored original features (filigree plasterwork, wrought-iron detailing), thanks to the light touch of architect Amine Kabbaj. The hotel's earned its many 'most stylish' accolades, but it's more cosy hideaway than catwalk, with a petite pool and a cushion-lined roof terrace."

'Seeing Allred' Documentary Shows Feminist Lawyer Gloria Allred Even More Fierce Than You Knew Her
Gloria Allred must be the second most-hated woman in America among right-wingers. No, maybe third. First Hillary Clinton, then Nancy Pelosi, then famed feminist attorney Gloria Allred. Indeed the Netflix documentary that premiered at Sundance was a detailed trip into America's second wave of feminism. But directors Roberta Grossman and Sophie Sartain did a first rate job of bringing Allred to life as a living, breathing woman -- although not one very different from the tough cookie we see in press conferences about an accuser of Donald Trump, Roy Moore, Bill Cosby and more.
The film does an excellent job of telling Allred's story as a young Philadelphia mother and teacher. We think of Allred as a prominent feminist but her activists roots sprouted in Watts, when she moved to LA at age 25 with her 5-year-old daughter Lisa Bloom and took a job teaching here.

JENNIE WILLOUGHBY PENS TIME ESSAY ADDRESSING TRUMP CALLING HER AND PORTER'S OTHER ACCUSERS LIARS, AND AMERICA'S REFUSAL TO CONFRONT REALITY OF ABUSE.
Jennie Willoughby, Rob Porter's Ex-Wife, Talks Trump's Dismissal Of Her Abuse & Rejection Of #MeToo
Trump essentially called the three-women 'liars' who have accused former White House staff secretary Rob Porter of physical and emotional abuse. The trio includes two ex-wives and the woman Porter was dating when he got cozy with White House Communications Director Hope Hicks in November. By then, the White House was fully appraised that Porter was having difficulty getting a top-level security clearance -- considered a problem so serious that Porter should have been sent packing months ago.
American women -- and many men -- are speechless that Trump has not said one word in support of women who are abused, a reality that is a serious problem in America and worldwide. Specifically, his tweets have only spoken of harm done to men by false accusations from women, as Trump inquired if there was no due process anymore.

Salma Hayek Honors Jill Messick, Dead By Suicide In Rose McGowan-Harvey Weinstein Battle
Actor Salma Hayek honored her friend, the late producer and studio executive Jill Messick, who died by suicide on Wednesday at age 50. Messick's name has been in the news recently, because she represented McGowan in 1997, the time period during which McGowan was allegedly raped by Harvey Weinstein.
According to her family in a statement published in The Hollywood Reporter, Messick has endured a longtime battle with depression and bipolar disorder and a particularly bad manic episode five years ago. Her personal trauma was recently triggered again by gossip and inferences about her role -- if any -- in McGowan's alleged rape by Harvey Weinstein. Messick was the executive producer of 'Frida', working closely with Hayek, who has written her own story about how an angry Weinstein tried to destroy the movie.
“I am deeply saddened by the loss of Jill Messick,” Hayek said of Messick, who was an executive producer on Hayek’s 2002 Miramax film, “Frida.” “She always navigated the frustrating and hostile environment of Miramax with grace and elegance. She became my ally and my friend. In the many years we worked together I witnessed her professionalism while being pregnant, a mother and through incredible pressure. She was a girl’s girl and a romantic when it came to fighting for the underdog. I will forever be grateful for her support and kindness.”

Religious Groups Tried To Block Rihanna's Senegal GPE Global Education Conference Visit
When 10 current and three former heads of state and more than 100 ministers gathered at the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) Financing Conference in Dakar, Senegal, the conference marked the first time an education financing conference has been hosted by a developing country.
President Macky Sall of the Republic of Senegal and President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic welcomed the more than 1200 participants including leaders from UNESCO, UNICEF, the World Bank, civil society, philanthropic foundations and the private sector. Rihanna, GPE’s Global Ambassador supported by Global Citizen, also participated.
Thankfully, Senegal's President Sall didn't bow to the generally unreported but very real protests in Senegal, demanding that Rihanna be banned from the event because of her involvement with the 'Illuminati'.
Snopes writes that activist celebrities like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Madonna and Katy Perry are common targets of Trump's friends -- the conspiracy theorists -- who argue that these pop culture leaders are either Satanists or part of the Illuminati. This top conspiracy theory about the Illuminati posits that ultra-wealthy celebrities, bankers, billionaires and politicians are all globalists who secretly rule the world, putting their party above countries or religion.
Hillary Clinton is considered to be among the most dangerous of the Illuminati, as Alexandra Petri wrote for The Washington Post in October 2016, three weeks before the election in: "The hideous, diabolical truth about Hillary Clinton".
The Illuminati is believed to include many Freemasons. Although the two groups are believed to share many members and common values, they are historically separate.
Andreea Diaconu Fronts 'All New Everything' For The Newly-Renamed Porter Edit February 8, 2018

Interviewed by Jane Mulkerrins, we learn that Diaconu can't wear bras. "I get sick from them. Seriously, they give me acid reflux," she insist. "I think it's because I don't really have boobs." Alright then. But it gets better, as we learn that the 26-year-old Romanian would much rather be on a surfboard, a bike or under canvas in the wilderness than on a catwalk. "I don't know what I'm doing in the fashion industry," she admits with a chuckle.

Edie & Christabel's Itchy Scratchy Patchy Opens At NYC Dover Street Market Honoring 5 Women 'Heroes'
The divine Edie Campbell continues to pop up everywhere. Vogue US introduces us to Edie's good bud Christabel MacGreevy, Campbell's partner in Itchy Scratchy Patchy, the fashion with heart label the duo launched in 2015.
Today, its latest collection, titled Heroes, lands in Dover Street Market New York.
“Where we started was very playful and irreverent and kind of sarcastic, and this is definitely much more heartfelt and kind of more sincere,” said Campbell over the phone from London. The pair’s new collection is inspired by five women—Sappho, writer Jeanette Winterson, journalist Marie Colvin, artist Leonora Carrington, and Boudicca—and utilizes symbols to represent the strengths and virtues of each woman on garments that range from trousers made in collaboration with Dickie’s to motorcycle gang jackets made with Lewis Leathers.
“They are very singular people, who kind of just grabbed us,” began Campbell. “There’s no particular rhyme or reason to it, they just had characteristics or lives that are very, very...”
