Just found this picture!

I just found this picture and I really liked it! This seems like a weird thing to remark on, but Paul's eyebrows are absolutely incredible! They're so well shaped that most women don't have eyebrows like that. But, this a great picture clearly showing his leftedness.

Research Paper on the Beatles!

I'm down to my last  few weeks of school (one and half weeks left!!!!) and my teachers have brought up the issue of finals. I'm in AP European History and since I already took the AP test in May, which in a way is sort of like my final test, my teacher isn't giving us a test. Instead we have to write a research paper on any subject that has to do with some aspect of European history. The Beatles are European...they greatly affect culture...I guess I'm writing a research paper on the Beatles!!! My topic is specifically the effect of the Beatles on the West (UK and US) versus the effect on the USSR. I'm getting started on it as I write this so I don't have anything to say on the subject yet but I will in the future. Who knows, maybe I'll post my thesis and some of the things I found out?

New Haircut!

Yesterday morning, I traded my long blonde hair for a '60s/Astrid Kirchherr inspired blonde short cut. It was difficult, but I really love it. Astrid first met the Beatles when they traveled to Hamburg, Germany in 1960 (with Pete Best, not Ringo, and the original bass player Stu Sutcliffe). She was an existentialist thinker and photographer who was one of the first people to be close friends with the Beatles. Astrid took very famous pictures of the five who were then still inspired by Elvis, his greased hair, and leather look. (You should look those pictures up by the way, I think they're very interesting). Anyway she convinced Stu, who she was engaged to before his death of a brain hemorrhage in 1962, to stop greasing his hair and to comb it down, thus inventing the mop top. Stu then convinced the others and the hair that would make girls go crazy finally appeared. With all that said, I now have a haircut that resembles the more feminine mop top that Astrid had in 1960, seen in the picture above. It's a bit different than the long hair I've had all my life but I love it!

So, my Dad sent me the link to these in my e-mail. They're not exceptional photos, but considering that they hadn't been seen before now, it's pretty cool. ENJOY!

This Day in 1964

On April 5, 1964, the opening scenes of their movie A Hard Day's Night were made at Marylebone Station. Some recording was also done in nearby Boston Place.

This Day in 1963

 On April 4, 1963, at the BBC Paris Studio, London, the Beatles made a third recording for Side by Side. Later that afternoon they played to a restrained audience in the Roxburgh Hall at Stowe School, Buckinghamshire, following a request from schoolboy Dave Moores.
