This Monday’s roundup has a wide range of stories to begin the week. Our all-time favorite women, Patsy and Edina, of Absolutely Fabulous fame, are back in the limelight after a twenty plus year hiatus. Their new film, “Absolutely Fabulous,” premiers this week and it is a must see chick flick. I still have the VHS tapes of the British television series! We cannot wait to see them back in action. We found an insider’s peek at their wardrobe for the film:

But ask anyone, how food looks on a plate does matter. Now we find that bar raised even higher. Read this article from Vogue on restaurants run by artists:
