Last Post (for the time being...)

Yes, this will be the last post for the time being. Summer holidays are over, here in the Southern Hemisphere, and I am getting closer to the deadline of getting the manuscript of The Beret Book ready.
I'll have to economize on blogging, unfortunately.

Both the ISeaStripes and Neckers blogs will stay on-line though and I'll happily continue posting odd & interesting pictures (and still available through this site: a good variety of Breton style sailors shirts).

The Beret Project meanwhile, will be continued on a daily basis.

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson (1984) is an American actress and singer. Johansson made her film debut in the 1994 film North and was later nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead for her performance in 1996's Manny & Lo. Johansson rose to fame with her roles in 1998's The Horse Whisperer and 2001's Ghost World.

She transitioned to adult roles with her performances in Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation, for which she won a B.A.F.T.A. Award, and Girl with a Pearl Earring, both of which earned her Golden Globe Award nominations in 2003. A role in A Love Song for Bobby Long earned her a third Golden Globe for Best Actress nomination. Following an appearance in The Island, Johansson garnered a fourth Golden Globe nomination, for Best Supporting Actress, for her role in Woody Allen's Match Point. She followed that with another Allen film, Scoop, with Hugh Jackman. A role in Brian De Palma's film noir The Black Dahlia was followed by a second role opposite Hugh Jackman in The Prestige.

On May 20, 2008, Johansson debuted as a vocalist on her first album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, which included cover versions of Tom Waits songs. Her second album, Break Up, with Pete Yorn was released in September 2009.
