Moore freckles

Just met Julianne Moore this afternoon in a tiny, expensive hotel room. I couldn’t stop looking at her freckles. They are the most delightful and elegant freckles I’ve ever seen. They are everywhere. Hands, legs, feet, face. She has them all over the place and Julianne’s freckles are killing you and you just want to count them. You can’t concentrate, as you are still counting, while you talk to her. It seems like her freckles have their own life. Do freckles actually say something about you ? You, as a human being? You as a person? Someone I knew always said that people with a lot of freckles can’t be bad people. They have a good soul, they are made of good material. Does that go for all freckles?  And how strong do freckles have to be to make you a good person? Did god give you these freckles? Or a sweet devil? And how many of them do you need? I  have to admit, that I was especially concentrating on Julianne’s freckles around her famous mouth. The upper lip is moving faster and is thicker. And around this part Julianne has a couple of really significant freckles, the ones that create the famous Julianne Moore look: a little hysterical, a little tough, a little unpredictable, a little nervous. Not sweet. I remember the first time I paid attention to Julianne’s freckles and freckle mouth, when she featured in “Boogie Nights”. She played this red head, coke snorting porn star. I could never really believe that Julianne liked just one little hit of cocaine. These freckles, they were actually in the way. She could not convince me that she would be a destroyed porn star. Totally different as the woman artist she played in “The Big Lebowski”. I have never seen a bitchier performance of an artist/feminist and one of the reasons for such bitchiness was Julianne’s freckles around her mouth, that took over the part. They dominated the scene. Julianne played with them, perfectly fine. I think there are not many actresses that can play with their freckles. This afternoon, I counted until 3000. Then my time with Julianne was up. I left unsatisfied, there were so many more to count.
