Movie: For a Good Time, Call...

 
 
 
I went to a screener of For a Good Time, Call.... last night and I loved it. It was fresh, it was funny, it was bubble gum pink mixed with zombie strippers (minus the zombies). It was Bridesmaid's reduced. It was a dirty talking girlfriends and sex toy parties. It was a movie that was filmed in 16 days and you can't tell one bit. Simply perfect like confetti cupcakes and butter cream icing with sugar skull candies.

It's spanks as a date rape preventive.

It's 1-800-mmmHmmm

It's Snow White meets Barbarella and they become besties.

It's Justin Long, Kevin Smith and Seth Rogan all smashed in one.

It's sweet but with edge. This is a movie to bring your girlfriends too, maybe your guy friends (they'll enjoy the vulgar, sexy conversations) and perhaps your progressive, independent mom if you have that kind of an adult friendship with her. Don't bring your kids though (side note, I'm sick of people bringing babies and kids to movies that aren't meant for kids)- that's a no-no for sure.


It's girls being real, girls being funny and girls being awesome. If you have no qualms about sexy talk and sass then I think you might like it. It made my night but then I went into thinking it was going to be an awful movie that was filmed in 16 days that might make me roll my eyes out of pure classlessness.

I was wrong. It's fab. Its a good time with no strings attached.

and that's my cheese review of the day. xxoo

The Fairmont Palliser's Pop-Up Afternoon Tea

 

A good friend of mine came back from London a few months ago and never got to have true "high tea" so I thought for her 30th birthday, it was a must do to start off her special day. After doing some quick research I discovered that the oldest of old school class, the Fairmont Palliser in Calgary, offered a high tea on Saturdays from 2:00-4:00 pm. I booked it, we went and for $40 a person (we had a bottle of Champagne-- of course) it was an enjoyable experience. Though I would say that there were too many sweets on the three tier trays.Regardless, it was worth the experience and sans champagne runs you around $25 a person.

However, this was planned. It was in the tea room at the hotel and there wasn't anything surprising about it but on August 18th of 2012 the Fairmont Palliser's afternoon tea will be hosted at a surprise location. A pop-up tea party which will have double the decadence and double the delights.

Guest will enjoy a selection of tea sandwiches, pastries, fresh fruit with Chantilly cream and traditional English scones with some of the tastiest preserved I've ever put in my mouth.

Tickets are $50 a person and to reservations, call Jennifer Seguin in the catering office at (403) 260-1222
