My favorite time of the month is right about this time when all the magazines start to pour into my mailbox!  It’s like Christmas comes around once a month.  I run to my mailbox to see who is the new beauty on the cover.

This month’s gift was this beautiful shot of Sandra Bullock on the cover of the March 2009 edition of InStyle Magazine.  She looks super airbrushed but who cares?  Check out color of that Alberta Ferretti dress she is wearing!

There is a great Q & A section where America wrote in their questions as part of her interview and here are some of my favorite snippets.

Question: Which role did you really want and not get?

Answer: “There haven’t been any roles that I wanted that I didn’t get, but there was a movie I wish I had done: The Matrix.  At the time [I was approached about it], it wasn’t cast with Keanu [Reeves], and I didn’t see myself with the person they wanted [in it].  Later I saw the movie and loved it.  It was sexy and great because of Carrie-Anne [Moss] and Keanu.

Could you guys imagine Sandra in the role of Trinity?

Question: What made you want to do All About Steve? (Her upcoming movie with Bradley Cooper)

Answer: I read the script and laughed so much.  It encapsulated everything that has gone awry in our society for girls and women, who are pushed to be homogenized.  What happened to all the  Carol Burnetts in the world?  All these great women were allowed to be this unique blend of things.  I’m not the blond bombshell; I’ll never be that.  There’s a piece of Mary in everybody-to be accepted for who you are and not have to change to be seen as normal.  To be true to yourself is something I admire.  I wish I was like that all the time.

Question: Which actresses do you admire?

Answer: There are some amazing women in our business, and they continue to break ground.  I make a joke about Meryl Streep: They just need to give her her own category at the Academy Awards, and when she makes a film that year, give her a statue.  I just saw Penelope Cruz in Elegy.  No one who looks like that should  also be an extraordinary actress.  I was so blown away by her in that film, I wanted to write a note to applaud her.  We have to support each other.  I admire actresses who are good to women.  I don’t like the ones who just don’t like women. You can feel it, and I’m like, You’re degrading yourself.

Sing it sista!!
