The 'Post Anything About Winona Here If Unsure Where' Thread

[Grackleman]

Hey Michael, sorry, no info on this but you may tell us the artist's name, please? All I know about tattoos concerning Winona is that Rusty and I would NEVER delete all the "na"s on our arms and shoulders... As for your subject, the latest things I read on German videotext about Winona were: 1. it shall be confirmed that "Edward Scissorhands 2" will be produced, 2. Winona is the new face for Marc Jacobs.

Hi, Grackle...

From what I CAN remember, there was no name of the tattoo artist that was mentioned in the online article I had seen. It was not too specific on the details, just what I posted before. It could have been even just a false rumor, running-wild, like a lot of things on the web.

And, if curious, I'm not totally against any tattoo (I can always admire the art, just not all the subjects), I just never cared to have any myself. Nor, I think, should Winona (she has enough beauty already). But, I do understand it's her life choice to do that...or anything else, for that matter.


Be good.

Okay, Michael, thanks a lot. Good to see that you like birds, too. :-D By the way, do you know the singer "Birdy"? Last week I watched a video clip of her and in some scenes she had a big resemblance to Winona. To tell you the truth: I have NO tattoos on my body, and I think Rusty (where the heck IS he??) has no tattoos, too, I was just kidding last week but I think you realized that.

I like birds (haha)? Did I make a reference or post about birds before (not to offend)? Because, the truth is, I just can't remember everything I say or post here at this site (going back and rechecking is just way too much work...for MOSTLY anything, personally). But, I suppose, I do like birds to think about it. I have nothing against them.

Also, no, I know nothing of this "Birdy" Winona-resembling singer you mentioned. She any good? Does she really give a rock?

Tattoo presumptions, or not, it's not that big a deal (hopefully Rusty, wherever he is, is doing well, though).

[Grackleman]

Hi Michael, I just thought that you could like birds because you called me "grackle" which IS a bird, lol... I didn't want to attack you or something, sorry if you took it that way, that wasn't my intention. "Birdy" sings pretty well but her music is not really MY fav. style of music, her songs are more folklore-like, as far as I can judge it, I personally prefer rock music with some electric guitars. I am afraid I am the wrong person in here to discuss about American politics with the members here because I am too far away from you but I really appreciate that our German chancellor Merkel has a very positive attitude related to refugees (not all of her party do have this attitude, unfortunately). Oh, and a Happy New Year to you, too, of course, sorry!

No need for being "sorry" Grackle. Were good. Which is to say, I was not at all offended by you. I was just honestly puzzled by your "Good to see you like birds, too" reply.

And I didn't know a "grackle" was a type of bird, honestly. I learned something. Thanks.

[Grackleman]

Okay then, Michael, thanks. I do not really know what "puzzled" means, I have to admit, but I am pretty sure it means something like "irritated", so in this case I've learned something from YOU. By the way: do you know the song "lives in the balance" (by Jackson Browne, I think)? Maybe this song perfectly describes what happened and still happens in the US, do you agree? There is a great message in the song, and much truth...

[Deleted]

Not 'irritated', Grackleman. Just CONFUSED (which is the word I should have chosen, in hindsight, apparently).

Learning never ends with anything, it just continues.  

Like 'balances', for instance...whether balances between countries, within a country, between large groups of people or even just two. Or even more than a few forum members with obviously both interesting and uninteresting differences in social and self-relevant commentary. I'm no stranger to the latter, myself, even. 

But does there have to be a balance. Well, sure. It may be give and take (although, all I mostly see is take). I do believe common sense, good morality give way to good balance more, however. And LOVE, too, yeah (the actual 'give', I'm guessing) 

By the way, Grack, I even like that word 'balance'. It's something I've been admiring for some time, and see others try to reach at times. Oh, well, I guess it's too high or something like that.

But when anyone is on a DAZED COUCH, and all they wanna do is relax with Netflix or stay on the Internet and socially-pride themselves into a seemingly-balanced oblivion (like I do at times) it's just sometimes that's all the balance they, we, I, may need.

Away from the sway of all the horses hay, is what say (now that may be confusing or irritating - take your pick - but something to really think about).

Be GOOD, as I SHOULD, Grack. Pay it forward.

Long article about why Winona never got as popular as she should.

My take on it: somedays I think Winona's acting style is too complicated and people are less and less able to appreciate it. It doesn't really quite fit into the approach taken by others throughout Anglophone cinema, be it North America, or the Commonwealth.

The best article on Winona that I've read in years. Thank you, Imayne . . .

The interview with Winona where the stunning black and white pics that phil posted were from. Really great read, given that the young woman interviewing her is an equally intelligent, composed and charismatic current rising star.

[nonifan]

I noticed Winona has been wearing wigs in nearly every shoot she does.  The Marc Jacobs ads, the Interview Mag photos, the Rag and Bone ads, the 2009 BlackBook Magazine shoot.  I love her hair, but I have to wonder: Is Winona a secret wig lover/wearer?

If I went to her apartment, do you think I'd find several wigs on wig heads? 

[Deleted]

Maybe. And that would be somewhat awkward, yet amusing. But she probably insists on wearing wigs probably because she no longer wants to change her hair color, physically, that much anymore for film roles. Or something like that. Because she's getting older and wants to embrace that and her natural look. Which I honestly support, if true. Because she looks fantastic as her true self.

But Winona, don't time-travel back to 1990's just to cut your hair pixie-short again. If Marc tells you to, please tell him no.

Maybe Scott likes it long. Her hair's been long ever since she's been with him..  For all we know she may have a desire to cut it short.

Oh, yeah...? What a swell thing to do just to make others happy (hmm..I wonder if I ever..oh well, nevermind)

Tell Winona to go ahead and cut her long, exciting hair.. short. It's just hair. (I do so solemnly swear I hate to edit!! - I forget the word 'hair' the first time)

But I'll tell you something - I can't stand my hair when it's long! (esp. on the ears and neck)

And I've had a desire to cut all my crap-fested hair off. And that's, firstly, because I'm exhausted messing with it. 

And then I would have to find the best unassuming hat to cover it up (which will begin a whole new weird insecurity - other than me being a guy, talking about freaking hair on a forum to strangers, of course).
