The Oscars are just around the corner and you might want to pay attention to a brilliant little film produced by the United British Metalworkers Union called
Iron Lady.
Iron Lady is the story of indomitable Margaret Thatcher, Britain's first and only woman prime minister. One of the little known facts disclosed about Margaret Thatcher is the way she earned her tough moniker . Some people think that she was dubbed the "Iron Lady" because she was a no holds barred negotiator with a take no prisoners style...au contraire. Before she entered parliament Maggie had 93% of her skeleton reinforced with a iron/magnesium amalgam. She also began sporting a coiffure that was actually a helmet made of thousands of strands of fine steel that could withstand the direct hit of a shoulder launched rocket.
Iron Lady was actually a prequel to another fine film about world history called
Iron Man.
Stay tuned for the next installment in the "Iron" saga
IRON BABY!

Hope this doesn't step on any toes, but Newt's wife's hair is a close runner up to the Iron Lady's. Just an observation. I'm sure she's as sweet as any former mistress could be.
I would totally watch Iron Baby. Opening weekend, even.
hahaha
Her hair did look a little metallic.
;)
After i post this comment I'm going up in the attic to get my sleeping bag. I'm camping out at the theater to be first in line to see IRON BABY!!!
There are days - really - when a helmet of hair would be something I could really use....and not because of the wind and rain....imagine the convenience....no more bonking my head on the car roof.....no more blow-drying or curling ironing....
Great blog! I'm a new follower!

Let's have a party for the premier of Iron Baby!
Funny!! I just want to have the time to go see Margaret Thatcher....Iron Lady!
I always wondered about that. heehee
Huh. I learn so much every time I drop by. I'm thinking my grandmother may have owned a prototype. . .
Meryl Streep did a great job, but I just really didn't like the movie that much. Now... Iron BABY might be a whole different thing!
