@DannyDrinksWine The actress playing the Queen in this scene is the beautiful Nadia Cassini. She became very famous in Italy in the 70s - 80s, acting in many commercial movies in the "sexy Italian comedy" genre. She passed away last year at 76 years old.

Originally, Caroline Munro's character in "Starcrash" (1978)-'Stella Star', was going to wear a skimpy leather bikini throughout the movie. American studio executives were concerned the film would have problems being broadcast on network television if it were the case. So, they insisted that director Luigi Cozzi put Munro in less provocative clothing in the second half of the movie.

@celestialbe1ng I read your post on Jutta Leerdam diet, and then found an article on Francesca Lollobrigida, an Italian skater who won 2 Gold medals at Milano Cortina 2026. The article says she follows a Mediterranean diet rich in complex carbs, lean proteins, and healthy fats, plus fruits.

Your ancestors ate more sugar and calories than you. You’re not fat because you’re eating too much per se. You’re fat because your metabolism is screwed up. You’re hypothyroid and estrogen dominant. As is everyone around you.

@bigfatsurprise In Japan, fruit is grown with extreme care, often individually cultivated for perfect quality and appearance. That makes it very expensive, so it’s treated more like a luxury gift or special dessert than everyday food.

Japanese dietary guidelines. Fruit is in the tip--interesting! I don't know another country with that guidance.

@DannyDrinksWine Bruce McGill is killing it in that scene

On this day, 26 years ago, Michael Mann's "The Insider" (1999) premiered in Beverly Hills, California.

@celestialbe1ng Italy is blessed by nature; its unique position between seas, winds, and mountains has gifted it with unmatched food variety. Being at the heart of world civilization for centuries only enriched it further.

Someone recently said Italian food is overrated, and honestly, I think it’s the opposite. Burrata alone is enough to end that argument. Have you met burrata? With sweet tomatoes, caramelised figs, a drizzle of balsamic, fresh basil? On a hot summer evening? Yea. Exactly.

@celestialbe1ng You should add to the book that finding a partner is one of the best side effects of the Fairy Princess/Prince diet 😉

@celestialbe1ng Sugar & Milk... it looks like I could eat unlimited Gelato or fruit sorbets in Ray Peat's & Veronica's diet, is that true?

The Veronica diet.

@strong_sistas Zampone (or Cotechino) is a great example. Also, in Naples, one of the traditional street food specialties is "'O pere e 'o musso" (The Foot and the Muzzle) pig's feet and cow's snouts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27O_pere…

Many cultures throughout the world have a traditional dish using pig feet, which are collagen rich. This is a sign for your to get some pig feet from your local farmer and make some meat jelly #NoseToTail - Meat Aspic [Polish] - Jellied Pork Trotters (Kholodets) [Eastern European] - Trota de Puerco [Mexican] - Hong Shao Trotters [Chinese] - Sopa de Pata [Central American] - Pêche à la Diable [French] - Zampone con Lenticchie [Italian]

The continuous increase in Japan's elderly population is a well-known issue. On the positive side, Japan's approach to addressing the problem focuses on developing technology that will benefit the world.

@italianozeki He was one of my favorites too! It's so sad... but I wish him all the best, I'm sure he will be a great Coach Minatogawa.

𝐁𝐲𝐞 𝐛𝐲𝐞, 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐨 It took me a few days to realize that my favourite rikishi retired from sumo. I was member of his koenkai (official fan club) when it was based in Kobe (now it's in Fukuoka) and we always believed he could get the white rope. Anyway, let's celebrate his great career, we'll write a proper article later. #italianozeki #大相撲 #sumo #相撲 #力士 #お相撲さん #grandsumo #sumoday #sumowrestling #貴景勝

@PollyEstherPanz @koshikiiwajinja Congratulations! Impressive! 🙌

Timeless, stunning, beauty❤️

Best movie I've seen in years 😍

Gena Rowlands in "A Woman Under The Influence" is simply one of the best acting performances ever in movies. Such an amazing actress. Goodbye, Gena ❤️

In 1982 Italian filmmaker Franco Piavoli created a poetic documentary called Il Pianeta Azzurro (The Blue Planet). The film is structured with long takes designed to create an intimate connection between the viewers and the rhythms of nature.
