BRIDESMAIDS

Tinsel & Tine Fun Film & Food Fodder on Facebook
If at times it seems Tinsel & Tine hasn’t posted anything new for a couple of days, it’s often because I’ve been making quick comments about my film and/or dining experiences and linking to interesting film and food fodder on facebook. I encourage Tinsel & Tine readers to “like” the facebook page, so you don’t miss out on the tidbits that don’t require a whole post, but may be of interest or you may want to chime in!
