Hometown Weekly - July 3, 2008 Still dressed in his "Ashecliffe" costume, Kingsley accepts his award from Manchnda as the Peace Abbey's statue of Ghandi looks on in the background. Excitement was in the air when, on June 26th, a small group gathered at Montrose School in Medfield to present world-renowned actor, Sir Ben Kingsley, with the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience award. The award celebrates causes, and awards are given to those who the public can personally identify with a given cause.

Leela Now we both know I've seen a 'frock' just like that in your closet :) And....as to the dress colors....apt colors....why OF COURSE you should be feeling 'queasy'.....you know like Teddy was 'feeling' after he swallowed the 'YELLOW pills' :wink:

Thanks Leela and Arnzi for the la-*test*-('") news and pics. I would agree with leela about the similarity of the feelings we can have between the apartment desining & the dress ! Those flowers remind me of a wallpaper in my grand parents' house, and there were also matching curtains... I couldn't stand them when I was a kid ! Well other time, other fashion style :-)

Peanut/Lou Yes of course I had forgotten about the yellow pills. Makes you feel queasy to even think about them. :oops: I do remember seeing dresses and wallpaper with large floral patterns from the 1950's but I don't think I've ever seen anything quite as eyecatching as that dress!

Leela : Maybe these ones from... around 1524... ? Inspiration ? (N. Portman & S. Johansson in The other Boleyn Sister, Justin Chadwick, 2008)
