Annabel

I've just been in a very bad mood for 40 years.

You know, the classic, you know.

my hair gets a little poofy when I'm under stress.

I'm murdering the lines here, but yeah, it is a full monoculture set in a 1980s southern town and all of these wives moving in and out of the makeup and hair salon and bringing their tragedies and their stresses in and out.

Lottie Beckett plays the new hairstylist who's got a sort of dark secret

Um, and Amanda Bishop is Truve, the, uh, you know, who runs the salon and she's just, because she's got such a gift for mimicry, she's got exactly the kind of like butt wiggling in the movie that role was played by Dolly Parton.

Um, so yeah, I just think it's, you know, you walk in there and you're in a different place and everybody's good at their jobs, like so good at their jobs, accents, hairdos, the lot, it's kind of cool.

Anyway, I think it's going to

Like everywhere, Wollongong, Canberra, Melbourne, great night out with your bestie.

I think it was about, I met about 50 chatters there, by the way.

There was just chatter heaven.

And also happy 60th to Diane, whose friend Jen I sat next to.
