Apparently, It's Better to Be British

Case studies:

Tilda Swinton:
--Ethereally beautiful

--Best thing in several movies (that sound you hear is the nodding of everyone who saw Constantine in the theater)

--JUST WON AN OSCAR, for Pete's sake

--appears to have one of those unorthodox living arrangements that puts me in mind of old British mysteries in which, after the murder, you find out the cast have all been quietly doing "scandalous" things for decades

--got paid to roll around naked with Clancy Brown in Female Perversions


Helena Bonham Carter:
--Also ethereally beautiful

--Got paid to see Julian Sands in the buff when quite a young girl in Room With a View

--Canoodled with Kenneth Branagh when that meant a lot more than it might today

--Married, for the love of god, TIM BURTON, who is made of awesome (and possibly spiders)

--Can apparently have a baby and turn up looking fantastic mere weeks later

--Is supposed to have received four pairs of clunky black boots as a present from her awesome husband after having said miraculous baby, which has to be the cherry on top of the She's Living My Dream sundae.


I think the results speak for themselves.
