A still from the video of my first wedding that caught me be surprise while digitizing my sister's VHS tapes. The tall blonde being congratulated by a friend is my ex. I'm not showing her face because she is very peculiar about her online presence. #TBT via Instagram

In the "Wonka" movie that's coming out we are going to find out how the Oompa-Loompas end up indentured workers living in factory accommodation and presumably also forced to shop exclusively from the company store since no one sees one outside the factory, in a country foreign to them, after a British industrialist steals their natural resources. Should be interesting to see how Warner Brothers makes that palatable. And, incidentally, in the book (Roald Dahl, 1964) the Oompa-Loompas are black: "The Oompa-Loompa bowed and smiled... His skin was almost pure black, and the top of his fuzzy head came just above the height of Mr. Wonka's knee." via Instagram
