The Crossroad Inn

 

When I was a little kid I loved watching two shows on Saturdays. I had to watch these shows and my family soon realized that to allow me to watch them was the best for their peace, tranquility and health. I really looked forward to Saturdays because of these two shows. Oh plus having no school and a full day to explore my world helped.

And on Saturday nights, well there was WONDER WOMAN.

Wonder Woman rocked. Especially the way she would casually toss her shiny Brunette mane of hair at the same time as her little thin golden rope and with a secret little coy smile on her face she would trap and entwine her dastardly targets.

To a kids eyes, she ruled. She showed and taught me so much. I learned that it was ok to be strong, virtuous and courageous and it was ok at the same time to be a lady. That was what was best about her to me. Her femininity. Xena Warrior Princess came well after Wonder Woman as an Amazonian Warrior female but somehow I just cannot imagine Xena showing up for her latest beautician's appointment after just slaying the giants. Or admiring the latest portraiture at the local gallery followed by dinner at a French restaurant and washed down with soft music and drinks after a busy day sword fighting with Mars. I liked Xena well enough, I had to as I had an Ex husband that Woodied over her as well as a child who idolized her but to me, she just wasn't Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman was refined and cultured. She was dignified and humble. Wonder Woman was always on the side of truth, justice, the weak and powerless and all things good in the world. She was strong and intuitive. She was gracious and charming. Everything that embodies and encompasses WOMAN was within WONDER WOMAN. She was woman and is woman. All women have a little of Wonder Woman deep down inside them. She was everything that I admired as a small child and everything that I wanted to be when I grew up.

Oh except the red blue and gold suit disaster.. sorry hun, not my colors.. something flowing and purple, with some blues and pinks through it mayhaps. And really, a tiny skirt would have helped.. yes you have lovely child bearing hips but there is somethings that should be delicately hidden. SEE ISIS – Her little pleated skirt number rocked.

.and those boots.. what happened to a simple nice pair of Black CFM boots.

Kids need Heroes and Superheroes to idolize and worship who are always humbly fighting the bad and single handedly saving the world in their mild mannered way so that as those kids grow up they will try to be that heroic good person, quietly off saving the world from evil and harm.

So Wonder Woman rocked my world as a kid. Now as an adult the one thing I particularly enjoy about this time of my life is observing Hollywood making re runs of shows and movies I watched and loved as a child.

Starsky and Hutch

Superman

Batman

The Odd Couple

Spiderman

Charlies Angels

Dukes of Hazzard

And the list goes on and on. It seems to be the latest trend or Hollywood has run out of good material

If they want new fascinating material all they have to do is message me

So anyhows, it was with great anticipation I read of George Millers latest foray into dusted off remakes with the new big screen version to go into production of none other than my favorite, WONDER WOMAN.

I began keeping an eye on the daily columns as the news buzz excitedly swept Hollywood. I watched the gossip columns throw up lists of actresses who were interested in the part, from Lindsay Lohan, Catherine Zeta Jones, Jessia Biel, Cameron Diaz to Angelina Jolie and I cringed each time. When Chloe Kardashion's name was thrown into the ring I cried. I could see the new version of WONDER WOMAN going the same way as many of the remakes, out backwards. I could see it being sold out for the dollar and the bankable face that everyone was getting sick of seeing, like Lindsay Lohan for a classic example. So on it went. More and more actresses were putting their hands up for the plum role. Who wouldn't want to play such a strong independent female character that carries the whole movie?

Then I was perusing the Australian news feeds yesterday and an article caught my eye. It was about one of my favorite Australian Supermodels.

Another one of my interests in life is following the careers of Aussies who have made it big in their chosen fields. Like

Olivia Newton John

Kylie Minogue

INXS

Hugh Jackman

Nicole Kidman

Elle MacPherson

And Megan Gale

Ok

Who Is Megan Gale

A few months into the future, everyone will start asking that question just

Why you ask?

Because George Miller has just announced that the beautiful Australian Super Model will play the part of WONDER WOMAN in his new mega big screen production.

So in tribute to Australia, the country I love and Aussies who have made good in this world. I would like to introduce you to our own beautiful Megan Gale. I only hope that the rest of the world will take her into their hearts as us Aussies and the Italians have done.

Hopefully this movie will be a success and hail the birth of a new Hollywood Screen Goddess, because we are sadly lacking in positive female roles model in Hollywood today. And if anyone has the potential to be a screen goddess, this lady is it. Provided she can act, that is.

Megan Gale

Megan Gale was born in 1975 or 76 (diff at diff sources) in perth Western Australia. Her mum is Maori Polynesian and her dad Australian. She is the youngest of three children and is now the ambassador and spokeswoman for the kids helpline. A valuable free service for troubled kids here in Australia.

When she was 16 she was discovered while she was attending a deportment course but she didn't really start working as a model until she was 18. Her success really came when she turned 24 and did a modeling shoot for an Italian Company while she was at uni. All of a sudden the Italians went crazy over her. She was unique in the world of modeling. Her mixed heritage brings out the best features of each race. She also gives off an air of quiet dignity, which is a trait inherited from her Polynesian side.

Second only to Sophie Loren, as far as adoration in Italy, she moved to Europe and lived on the other side of the Swiss border and began working in Italy over the next few years. Becoming Italy's number one model, she returned to Australia after 8 years to take up a role as the face of David Jones, an upmarket clothing chain here in Australia.

 

She has starred in three movies already, one as an Australian secreatary and two Italian films, one of which she spoke completely in Italian.

Sorry guys, she has a boyfriend. For a few years now she has dated Australian, Andy Lee, who is one half of a popular comedy radio duo over here. He does talk a bit out of school, often broadcasting private details about their relationship on air.

From Wikipedia

At twenty-four, while studying at university, she won a modeling competition and appeared in a series of advertisements for the Italian telecommunications commercials, Omnitel (now Vodafone Italy); she appeared in the company's advertising from 1999 until nowadays. She was also retained by the Australian Tourist Commission in 2003 as 'their face of Australia in Italy'.

Gale has modeled for Italian fashion houses such as Genny and favors many Australian designers, such as Akira Isogawa, Sass & Bide, and Alex Perry. Recently she was the fashion commentator for the Australian television awards, the Logies. Currently she is the face of the upmarket Australian department store David Jones. Gale's appearances on the catwalk in the famous annual fashion parades are extremely popular and she has helped to raise David Jones's profile to the younger market and trendy fashion designers.

In January 2008, Gale announced her retirement from catwalk modelling after 15 years and strutted down the catwalk for the last time just weeks later at a David Jones winter collection launch in Sydney. ^[2]

Acting

She has also tried her hand at acting. Roselyn trained Gale for the movie, Vacanze di Natale and received top billing. She was Viviana in Stregata Dalla Luna and spoke entirely in Italian. She also won a part in the movie Stealth which was shot in Sydney and was released in theatres in 2005 playing a role as Dr. Orbit's secretary, which is her American film debut. On January 20th she announced that she had been offered the part of Wonder Woman in the upcoming George Miller movie version of Justice League of America

So there you have it.
