Frida Kahlo's Wardrobe: Locked Away

Have you seen this? Frida Kahlo's wardrobe locked away for 50 years. Incredible!!

The Incredible 'The Imitation Game'.

I took myself off to the movies on Saturday afternoon - which is a rare treat indeed. A solo movie jaunt, and no one to share the popcorn with. Actually, if you must know, I didn't have popcorn. I had a choc top. It's almost compulsory to do so.

I've really, really wanted to see The Imitation Game since it first hit the big screen. 

Benedict Cumberbatch.

Keira Knightley.

And a little-known story (war altering) about WWII. 

A film about the incredible mind of Alan Turing. The creator of the world's first computer.

Honestly, since watching this, I haven't stopped thinking about it. There's so much to contemplate. To digest. To mull over. 

You know those movies when you come out and feel like you really need to chat with someone about it, to debrief? This, for me, was one of those. 

From the performances of Cumberbatch and Knightley (and everyone else) to the true story, my mind was completely blown. It was beautiful, incredible, funny (in some parts) and so hauntingly sad.  

If you've seen it, I'd love to know what you think! 

I Actually Saw A Movie For Grown Ups. At. The. Cinema.

It's groundbreaking news over here at Chez PMM. I actually saw a real, non-animated, non-child oriented film at the cinema. 

Shut the front door.

I don't even remember the last time Matt and I got to do that together.

But today we had some stolen time and we headed off after a chaotic morning - when *someone* forgot their library bag and resulted in an additional 1/2 hour of running around. 

Everyone knows that time speeds up once you drop the kids off at school - and those few hours go like the clappers. So being waylaid a good half an hour wasn't ideal. 

Thankfully we hooted into the carpark, got a park, power walked with the best of them, got to the counter in record time - and … UH??? 

Her was not playing until 12:30pm? 

WHA?

I was so pumped up to see Joaquin. Matt was so pumped up to see Joaquin (and probably hear Scarlett Johannsen's voice). 

And it wasn't on as listed. WAAAAAH!!

We went to 12 Years a Slave instead. Totally different pace. 

Not since The Pianist have I sobbed so loudly. 

It's incredible, eye-opening, though-provoking, beautifully shot, heart wrenching, full of great sadness, and I don't even know how to tell you - I feel so depleted, questioning humanity. And at the same time, I am so very glad I watched it. 

Have you seen 12 Years a Slave? 

So Pretty. So Inspiring - Enter Megan Morton

Last night I was lucky enough to score a sneak peek at Megan Morton's new space.

The woman is a genius.

If you're yearning for some inspiration, some pops of colour, something to make your heart skip a beat, you should go check out her new space.

Megan is one of those rare jewels of a woman who is generous, funny, magnificently creative - I adore her.

These images are by beautiful stylist Sophie The who works closely with Megan, of The Propery. I'd like to move a bed in there and live there. There's so much to look at - I could be a magpie, but heck, I left it there for you to enjoy too.

The new space includes the very rad Kitchen by Mike and a sprawling store by Koskela, that I think you could spend the good part of a day trawling through. There is so much treasure, goodness, and gems contained within this space.

Plus there's much more in store.

Tres excitemente.

Hop in there. Like now dudes:
