Scarlett

Watching the movie - Lost In Translation - starring Scarlett Johansson made me think about all "Scarlett [Scarlet]" things.

A gush of thoughts rushed through my mind. And here I am writing about a few things which pop up when you say Scarlett.

First of all - it is the color Scarlet.


It is a reddish color with a tinge of orange.

The Maple Tree is an excellent exhibit of this brilliant color.

Get more details about this color on Wikipedia.

Next comes The Scarlet Pimpernel - a.k.a. The Elusive Pimpernel.

This is one quote which made the book/play famous.

They seek him here. They seek him there. Those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in Heaven? Or is he in Hell? That damned, illusive, pimpernel.

This is a story about a disguised super hero - who goes about a town - saving people. Read more about this book and play here.

Then I have the Lost In Translation actress herself - Scarlett Johansson.

The 25 year old American Actress has starred in several films - notable among them being - The Horse Whisperer, Lost In Translation, Girl With A Pearl Earring, Match Point, Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Iron Man 2.

She is also a singer with two Albums under her belt.

Well, the post would have ended here - but for this recent "lip-lock" between Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson.

At the recently concluded MTV Awards - Scarlett Johansson (all of 25 years) was supposed to give away the MTV Generation Award to Sandra Bullock (20 years her senior).

She presented the award. 

And Sandra, to express her gratitude and love to Scarlett (who is also her co-star Ryan Reynold's (from The Proposal) better half ) cupped her face and gave a kiss on her lips.

Scarlett was initially stunned by Sandra's bold gesture. But she later gave into her and enjoyed the warm embrace.

Read more here.

Later both of them acknowledged that both of them are "great kissers".

Scarlett is firmly married to Ryan Reynolds.

But is the recently single Sandra Bullock going the Lindsay Lohan way? Only time will tell.
