Ok, so today was fairly eventful!
After flying ever so glamourously via Easyjet into Nice (simultaneusly being told off for taking photos while the plane was taking off - IT WAS TAXI-ING ONTO THE RUNWAY! WE WERE GOING A GRAND TOTAL OF 3 MILES AN HOUR!!!) we then proceeded to travel by private carriage (read here public bus - soooo maaaany screaming kiiiiiids!!) and took us into Cannes.
Cannes. It's beautiful. A mix of the French Riviera with subtle aspects of provincial Italy thrown into the mix. We will do well here. Here we shall prosper.
Our producer friend Jack (forever onward to be known as Deadpan Jack - see YouTube for explanation) picked us up from the centre of town and took us to our apartment in the Cannes Beach Hotel. While small, it is perfectly formed and best of all......
WE HAVE BUNK BEDS!!! HOW 5TH GRADE SCHOOL CAMP IS THAT?!?!
Jo lost at scissor, paper, rock and so has to make do with the bottom bed (which everyone knows is a death trap) while I luxuriate in the splendiferous top (best) bunk.
After jzshoosing ourselves briefly we headed back into town to meet our date with destiny. Ok, not quite but we went in to pick up our accreditation (nothing like a special pass swinging around your neck to make a girl feel special. Ahhhhhhh, elitism. How we love you.) before tottering over to the British Pavilion where our contact at the British Film Insititute waited in hot anticipation to meet these two soon-to-be-famous young actresses.
....that's us by the way...just in case you didn't get that......
Nick was lovely and showed us about town, giving us the down-low on everything that the Virgins would need to know about what goes on here in the big C-town. After a cheeky cocktail (ok, it had a few friends) we hustled back to our abode in order to jzshoosh ourselves further (I know, how can you improve on perfection?!) before heading out in all our evening dressed fabulousness to go see Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps!!! Michael Douglas!! Carey Mulligan!!! That guy from The Goonies and that other guy.....you know the one.....was in that movie with Harrison Ford.....his name means 'Shia the Beef' in french.....yeah, that guy!!!!
EXCITEMENT!!!!
Stay tuned (both to the blog and YouTube) for our reviews and further cocktail-fuelled mayhem!!!
Lots of love, VIP passes, champagne cocktails, white beaches and GORGEOUS men!!!!
Zara and Jo xxx
