The gorgeous French actor and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg
is in Queensland at the moment shooting her latest film
called The Tree which is based on a book written by Australian author
Judy Pascoe.
Charlotte, the daughter of English actress Jane Birkin and French
actor and singer Serge Gainsbourg has also been working
on a new album, with the help of Beck which should
hopefully be out early next year...
Charlotte dropped in to Blonde Venus and The Outpost this week, for a spot of shopping.
Alors! How exciting!

What's New at The Outpost?!
The Director's Cut by Philos-o-face, Melbourne
Philos-o-Face Badges are $33 each
Designer Prudence Rees-Lee unveiled this new collection during the recent
Melbourne Film Festival to 4 star reviews!
The perfect gift for a true film buff or perhaps a bit of inspiration for
a film and television student?
This assortment of influential film directors ranges from Orson Wells and
Sir Alfred Hitchcock through to Jim Jarmusch, Sophia Coppola and Spike Lee.
Each badge comes mounted on card with a memorable quote from the director
and on the back is a selected list of some of their most famous films.
One of my favourite quotes is from Jean-Luc Goddard
"I pity the French Cinema because it has no money.
I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas."
Philos-o-face is available exclusively in Queensland at The Outpost!
