Dame Commanders of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire!

I know, sounds like a phrase that could be uttered just as easily by Bill and Ted as Alistair Cooke, yet this is the official title of actors Judi Dench and Maggie Smith. I'm a huge fan of Judi and have been quite fond of Maggs since the days of California Suite. So, when I cracked open this week's New Yorker on the bus the other day, I just beamed over this piece!

How funny. Wish I could have taken them on that shopping trip! Their new movie sounds sweet. It's in the genre a friend likes to call "old British folks who drink a lot of tea, are happy in the country ... and occasionally get naked" - like Waking Ned Devine. But I don't care. This is the type of flick I eat with a spoon. I will probably wait till this to comes out on DVD but still, how cute do they look in those hats?! Maybe I'll invite them to my next kitty tea party...

They should definitely be reading for Three Phases!
