Ricki Lake On The Business Of Being Born

“Actress and former talk show host Ricki Lake has turned executive producer for the documentary The Business of Being Born, which will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival. Huffington Post asked her some questions.

What’s it like to premiere your film at the Tribeca Film Festival?

Right now my life feels completely surreal. I am so excited and honored to be a part of this amazing festival. The fact that most of the movie takes place in New York and that downtown New York is where I gave birth makes it even that much more meaningful to me. This is my debut as an executive producer.

Why did you want to produce this film?

I wanted to make this movie after my two very different birth experiences with my children. I felt like I had an opportunity to explore and question birthing practices in this country and perhaps be an advocate for mothers’ rights and better maternity care.”

Go Ricki Go!

Sheryl Crow’s dirty sleeves
Paul and I have enjoyed a few good belly laughs at Ms. Crows expense these past two days.
My suggestions for conserving all revolve around motherhood.
1. Give birth at home
2. Breastfeed
3. Cook from scratch
4. Use cloth diapers (set a goal for using them about half the time)
5. Use Cloth menstrual pads (again, use them about half the time)
6. Learn how to live with one car by using the bus and bikes to make up the difference
7. Buy clothing at thrift stores and garage sales, especially shoes, coats, and jeans
8. Plant a garden – even if just a small kitchen herb garden
9. Store grains and beans and use them for meals three days a week (buy in bulk)
10. Use environmentally safe cleaners to wash clothes and dishes
11. Go on vacation within an hours drive of your home
12. Live by the mormon motto: “use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!”
I hope the hollywood set continues to rail on Americans about conservation. The hypocrisy factor is simply delicious.

The Quotable Brian Williams
The talking head does not have a whole lot of respect for the Blogosphere. He was talking to Journalism Students when he dissed bloggers. Does this really help them grasp the reality of the situation?
Reminds me of Jeff Cushing and his one sided piece for the Daily Camera.
Go Here and Here
I sort of feel sorry for the journalism students. All that money and time….wasted….
Oh Well….sniff….sniff…
