Dreaming of The Beatles

Last night I had the most awesome dream… The Beatles came to New Zealand on tour! I am a huge fan of The Beatles – especially John Lennon – and this is the second time I’ve dreamt about them this month. Last time, I was at a party with all my family and friends and Paul McCartney (today’s version) came up to me and asked me to dance. I did, as you would… I mean, its Paul McCartney! Then John Lennon (a short, old version of him, possibly what he would look like now if he were still alive) tapped him on the shoulder and cut in. Lol.

So last night I had a dream that The Beatles came to Wellington, but it was 2011 Wellington and they were the 1960’s Beatles. Weirdest thing was, they were on a raft in the ocean and crowds of people surrounded them in the ocean and on the beach cheering and screaming.

I stood on a big wooden box on the beach, and suddenly the four of them came over to me and the crowd disappeared as if nobody knew who they were.

Then I had them all to myself and we sat on the beach together chatting as if we were old mates. Then it was time for them to leave and I hugged each Beatle goodbye, leaving John till last, and they got on a boat and disappeared.

If only…

If you could spend a day with any celebrity, dead or alive, who would it be?

NZ's greatest war heroine

She may have left New Zealand as a toddler, but we still claim her and she still saw New Zealand as her home until the day she died.
Nancy Wake, who passed away on August 7th at age 98, was nicknamed "white mouse"  for her ability to elude capture during World War II when she helped thousands of downed Allied pilots and Jewish families elude German and Vichy officials to reach the Pyrenees and neutral Spain.
She was living in France when Nazi Germany invaded. She joined the French Resistance and was smuggled into England for specialist training.
In 1944, she was parachuted back into France, where she co-ordinated the efforts of thousands of fighters and fought alongside them.
Wake was at one point number one on the Gestapo's most-wanted list - with an offer of five million francs for anyone who dobbed her in or killed her.
As soon as I read her obituary in the newspaper, I just had to find her biography, and had to visit about eight bookstores in the city before I found it up the coast.
Her story is written by Peter Fitzsimons, who I have heard writes a great biography. I don't really read biographies, only ones I'm absolutely passionate about like John Lennon by Philip Norman, but I'm really looking forward to sinking my teeth into this one.
It seems empowered females are becoming the theme of my blog at the moment... yesterday I talked about my role models Audrey Hepburn and Kate Middleton (also the 21st Century's worst role models: Kendra Wilkinson, Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton), and I have a feeling Nancy Wake will become one too.
How could she not? Not only was she beautiful, but she could do anything a man could do and more.
