另一位"having it all"的女人

重讀W的《時裝時刻》,提到"having it all"的女人。"Having it all",我想起了自己最愛的女演員Jennifer Saunders。

家庭美滿,丈夫是另一位我喜愛的英國comedian,Adrian Edmondson。育有三名女兒,可謂家庭事業兩得意。她本身聰明美麗,靠腦搵飯食。從最初的"French & Saunders"到近期的"The Life & Times of Vivienne Vyle"和"Jam & Jerusalem"也是自己編劇、演出。

在另一套自編的電視劇"Ab Fab"裡,更將現代的女性觀發揮的淋漓盡至。不是標榜女權至上,而是,從基本上,女性也可以自給自足。戲中,她離過兩次婚,有一個女兒,卻還可以天天尋歌作樂。This is my life!兒女不再是單親媽媽的burden。她可以繼續扮靚,每天"mosey down Bond Street, a little sniff around Gucci, sidle up to Ralph Lauren, pass through Browns and on to Quags for a light lunch"(Patsy)。

"I don't want more choice, i just want nicer things!"(Eddy)

OK,現代女性也有失意的時後。從事PR界的女角(Eddy)在一次頒獎禮中悄悄跟好友說,"It's just... you know... I WANT one. I don't just want one, darling, I NEED one. My career is on a toboggan run of failure at the moment... I just need one. It's the only thing that seems to mean ANYthing these days... I need one now before the menopause drags me into her gaping jaws. Before my creative hormonal oil-well dribbles to a halt. Before my bottom becomes just a patch-work quilt of monkey glands, darling."

要怎樣去認識自己,在過程中發現自己的弱點,要如何面對,改正。從來,Jennifer Saunders都不是叫我們去羨慕別人的好。每個人,都可以比別人更有趣,只有你愛自己。
