Deb, I assume you know that there are two books about filming the African Queen in Africa in 1951. It was filmed in Uganda and the Congo, though.
Slay-er? Chosen One. She who hangs out a lot in cemeteries? You're kidding. Ask around. Look it up: Slayer comma The.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I assume you tried terms like "mau mau" in google? That one came up with some interesting things. Also, if you go to the library, you might want to try the Readers Guide to Periodical Literature for 1954-55. I know using paper seems passe, but it might work. Also, you might try something like a New York Times archive. This may also be available at SF Public. If they don't have it, you might be able to access it at one of the UC libraries.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Ginger, I had all the AQ filming info, including Bogie's lovely rant. This is three years later, though, other coast, and a very different political climate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the extremely privileged have NO SHAME AT ALL
Gimme a little time, and I can find you po' folk without shame. Also middle classed people with no shame, maybe some upper, some lower -- money doesn't force you to buy or discard shame, and why should it? I bet I could also find privileged people who are kind, gracious and wonderful people.
I think it's sad what some people will do if they can get away with it -- but privilege doesn't make you those people, and its lack doesn't mean you won't act the ass.

ita, I'm with you. I know some shameless mofos in all walks of life.
Thing is, the po' folk rarely have the power to do mass damage with their shamelessness. When you add money and power to the privilege and lack of shame, it gets awfully ugly.

It is true. It's easier to get away with stuff when you're richer than God. But I don't think it makes you a worse person.

Oh, I wasn't making the value judgement. Just the fact that shameless with money and a gun is faster-acting than shameless with nothing but 'tude.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Yay for new apts.
And laughing madly at baby peeing...

Yay for sj apartment! Boo for the accident and long day. I hope you're sleeping well.
Um...I had more stuff. Um...I should take better notes. Oh, yeah! I LOVE Jessica's new haircut. And I promise I'll post pictures of mine today. It's even on my to-do list.
Timelies!
I want to still be asleep. My body has different plans...and has had those plans for several hours. Grrrrr...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
The great thing about baby-peeing stories? Embarassing a petulant teenager in front of their friends a decade-plus later. At least that's why I think parents do that, to get a little of their own back.
Sits vw's body down next to my cat, for a little talk about the value of sleep.
