Did you know that in Ukraine they cover their Christmas trees in spider web ornaments? According to folklore there was a poor woman who couldn’t afford to decorate her Christmas tree so she left it bare. When she woke up in the morning it was covered with spider webs. She reached out her hand to touch them and they turned to gold and silver!

Most would probably agree that words get a lot more fun the further you go back. Take for example how the Tudors must have conversed with each other. The word “ganermooner” was used to refer to a man who flirted with other women while his own wife was recovering from childbirth. That is a very specific word right there! Can’t wait to use it on someone in the 21st century.

Did you know that Kim turned down the role twice before she finally accepted it? In fact her boyfriend finally convinced her it was the right part for her. That didn’t stop her throwing herself into the action though. Kim insisted on wearing high heels for all of her scenes, even when shot from the waist up! She said it made her feel more like her character. What a trooper.
