Bulawayo Morning Mirror Edition 1070 - 28/6/2024

HOARDERS UNITE !!

I adore winter, a walk into my winter wardrobe is like walking down memory lane. The fact that I have not worn most of the clothes hiding right in the back for thirty years, is no barrier!! Burgeoning hips have had absolutely nothing to do with it, changing fashions have been no obstacle, even the silverfish have not been a hurdle!!

But now, thanks to you Covid, I can testify to HeeHooMustBeObeyed as to exactly why I have been keeping those winter clothes!! Some of them even fit, the fashions have come back into fashion, and I am the envy of the Coffee Set!!

That mauve and grey Scottish skirt Mum bought me in Sixth Form, pure wool in the Cameron Clan tartan, featuring elegant leather detail, with a lovely silver kilt pin! How many times have I been tempted to disown it, disinherit it Send it to SPCA, pass it on to Bulawayo Shelter, give it to my Housekeeper

Mum told me we were descendants of Bonnie Prince Charlie, (illegitimately I believe, he was never married to Flora MacDonald, the rascal, she was only his girl friend.) So my Clan Tartan is very special!!

Every single year I have gazed at it in agony, examining it minutely for tell tale signs of silverfish damage, tried it on heaving and sweating Every year it has been given a reprieve and placed back tenderly on its ancient hangar, diligently crocheted by my darling Mom...

If you hold onto something long enough, I have discovered, it will come back into fashion. Wide legged trousers were in fashion in the seventies and eighties, we used to call them 'bell bottoms'! For decades now we have been wearing slim legged jeans, workwear and slacks, which suit small people like me.

Now bell bottoms are back and I can haul out those trousers I wore when my kids were small! I clearly remember walking down 12th Avenue, past Borrow Street to Children's house, the nursery school. Ramona Winterboer and I would be wearing platform shoes and brightly coloured flared pants.

The problem is that nowadays the platform shoes are out of the question, we wear gym shoes or low boots and if you are tiny, Bell Bottoms can make you look...well......bell-bottomed!!!

HeeHoo has an excellent eye for fashion, during the years he would travel extensively to the fashion capitals of the world, he would bring us girls back exquisite garments. The girls loved them, Carducci for SheHooMustWear Kevlar, a multitude of enviable gymnastics leotards and Speedo diving swimwear for SheHooMust Run.

Albeit most of my beautiful outfits were too small for moi, (he would buy the size he would have liked me to be) but beautifully tailored, exquisite fabrics, reeking of wealth and prosperity. Some of them never passed the test of time, my Fendi coat in Black Chamois Leather and Velvet virtually disintegrated and a lot of the other outfits never saw the light of day, but now some of them even fit!!

Would YOU dispense with the magnificent garments your dearly beloved bought you in Zurich, London or Rome Even if they are forty years old

N.B! THURSDAY 27 JUNE AT 6.30 P.M. NOAH
Noah is a biblical epic directed by Darren Aronofsky, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ari Handel. It tells the well-known story of Noah who is told by God to build an ark that can carry his family and a breeding pair of all animals since He has decided to wash away the sins of mankind through an apocalyptic flood. The script adds elements from the apocryphal Book of Enoch, which sparked some controversy. The film stars Russell Crowe as Noah, along with Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Anthony Hopkins.
- Noah manages to blend the expected with the unexpected and does it with so much gusto and cinematic energy you won't want to divert your eyes from the screen. [Los Angeles Times]
- A massively scaled undertaking, Noah is a bold re-telling with plenty of spectacle. [USA Today]
- Aronofsky brings wild ambition and thrilling artistry to one of the Old Testament's best-known, most dramatic, least plausible stories... with Russell Crowe infusing the role of God's first seaman and zookeeper with all his surly majesty. [TIME Magazine]
Admission: US$2.50 [free to Film Members]

THURSDAY 4 JULY AT 6.30 P.M. SIDEWAYS
Struggling writer and wine enthusiast Miles (Paul Giamatti) takes his engaged friend, Jack (Thomas Haden Church), on a trip to wine country for a last single-guy bonding experience. While Miles wants to relax and enjoy the wine, Jack is in search of a fling before his wedding. Soon Jack is sleeping with Stephanie (Sandra Oh), while her friend Maya (Virginia Madsen) connects with Miles. When Miles lets slip that Jack is getting married, both women are furious, sending the trip into disarray.
- From its first minutes, maybe even from the credits, you know you are seeing something very special. [Detroit Free Press]
- At the end of the movie we feel like seeing it again. [Chicago Sun-Times]
- Both charming and sexy, uproariously funny and touchingly human. [Chicago Tribune]
- The sweetest, funniest, most humane movie I've seen all year. [New York Magazine]
Admission: US$2.50 [free to Film Members]

FRIDAY 5 JULY AT 6.30 P.M. ROYAL BALLET TRIPLE BILL
From The Royal Ballet's classical origins in the works of Petipa, to the home-grown choreographers who put British ballet on the world stage, this mixed programme highlights the versatility of the company. Petipa's Raymonda Act III as revised by Rudolf Nureyev is Russian classical ballet summarized in one act, full of sparkle and precise technique, while Sir Frederick Ashton's Enigma Variations is quintessentially British in every way - from its score by Elgar and period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman, to Ashton's signature style, the essence of British ballet. Concerto, Kenneth MacMillan's fusion of classical technique with a contemporary mind, completes a programme that shows the breadth of the company's heritage.
- A sunlit and sparkling triple bill with a touch of autumnal warmth. [The Independent]
- The Royal Ballet is at the top of its game in a new triple bill of MacMillan, Ashton and a pinch of Petipa
[The Guardian]
- The Royal Ballet honours its heritage with a varied triple bill that illustrates the range of its repertoire and gives both corps and soloists ample opportunities to shine. [Culture Whisper]
Admission: US$2.50 [free to Red Carpet Members]
