Females at the Flicks

Family females, Mom, Nan, Kim, Andrea, Kierra, Santanna, and me, met at the Flicks to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.  (Synopsis: British retirees travel to India to take up residence in what they believe is a newly restored hotel. Less luxurious than its advertisements, the Marigold Hotel nevertheless slowly begins to charm in unexpected ways.)

The Flicks is always my favorite, and apparently it's a lot of other people's favorite too, because I was 20 minutes early and the last one in our party to arrive.  We almost didn't get seats together.  We were three rows from the front.

Missing from the pictures are 3 actors from Downton Abbey.

We all loved the movie and all the actors, but none of us want to live in India.  Most of us don't even want to visit.  I do think I could get into the light flowing tunics.  Add a head scarf and you'd never have to do your hair.  I might take up tunics and scarves upon retirement.

Looking good, Judi Dench.

After the movie we all went to Chicago Connection for a quiet, less crowded, bite to eat.  There wasn't a lot of news - just a lot of good conversation and female bonding.
