Iron Lady 'n' painted nails...

Last week I finally made it to the cinema to catch 'the iron lady' :-)

The movie received some bad reviews in Singapore, but I'm happy that didn't put me off from checking it out for myself.  I do think it is necessary to know what MT was all about and understand the ins and outs of her time in parliament and as Prime Minister. The story would be quite lost on younger generations and non-British folks.

Meryl Streep is magnificent in the role...

actually, quite spine tingling-ly, alike the iron lady herself. The whole casting was fantastic and the actors were very, very much like their real life characters. Hats off to the casting team :-)

There are some quite shocking clips in the movie (riots re poll tax and miners strike) but the story would, obviously, not be complete without these incidences being mentioned. All in all, a movie well worth seeing :-)


Over the last month I have become a little obsessed with my nails. Before which, I was very much a nibbled nail and always pale pink-y nail kind of girl...

The Moustaffa Centre have some really inexpensive polish and a massive selection of fab colours. Yes, these are proper 'cheap' compared to OPI but the quality is great and I find them so easy to paint on, not at all clumpy or streaky and also I'm not having it all chipping off the very next day. (add to that my 'special' drying method and the polish really is 'as hard as iron' :-))

I'm off now to paint my nails green with a hint of blue sparkle...a perfect combination for wearing with my new blue dress :-)

If I can pin my Mr Man down for a minute before he jets off to China again

I'll get him to take a pic of me wearing my lovely new dress...

Post about Sunday brunches 'n' Champagne in Singapore (and region) coming next... :-P


kisses 'n' smiles from me xx :-)
