Bohemian Rhapsody | Movie Review
Bohemian Rhapsody | Movie Review *NOTE: I do not own any of the rights to the queen franchise. I am not in partner with Bohemian Rhapsody movie. I am not in partner with Spotify.* My Rating: 5 out of 5 My opinion: I will say it was a 5 out of 5 not for complete historical accuracy but for the overall good movie. The actors were well picked. They did a phenomenal job. The historical accuracy was of course off by a couple of years for certain things. The critiques said the movie didn’t portray the sexuality of Mercury correctly. This is just simply untrue. They portrayed his homosexual preference…

Actually, the correct way to put this is, I want more skills that I can use if I were to have to stop doing hair. Example: getting Injured or…

NOTE: I am not showing the actual dress until after the wedding. Sorry! I will, however, show the dresses I’ve tried which are a BIG NO. They were a no for several reasons. I chose a dress based on comfort. I wanted to be able to move and walk in it. I wanted it to flatter my figure while being not too expensive. I probably tried on close to 50 dress in three different stores.Preview Changes (opens in a new tab)…

That includes shears, combs, curling irons etc. Eat before your practical test. I mean eat a healthy meal. I didn’t eat a good meal and I was starving after the test.
