- Beatlemania hit the United States 50 years ago this week. I was 7 at the time, too young to join the screaming teenage fans, but susceptible enough to think b-e-a-t-l-e rather than b-e-e-t-l-e was the correct spelling of the insect variety of the word.
- Thanks to the bushy brow genes inherited from my paternal grandfather, I am one step ahead of the runway models resorting to hair plugs to sprout unibrows. It feels so freeing to know I could lose my tweezers and still be at the height of fashion.
- The man of steel and I both loved Saving Mr. Banks. What’s not to love about an evening spent flitting from Australia to London to Disneyland in the company of Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, Walt Disney, Tinkerbell, Mary Poppins, Bert, Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, and the Banks family, with cameo appearances by songs from the Mary Poppins soundtrack. Thank you, Tinkerbell, for sprinkling pixie dust and making the evening magical.
Have you seen Saving Mr. Banks? What did you think?
