I know it's shallow of me but I can't help wondering how greedy greedy Tilly will be spending Xmas day? En masse with husband and Lover? Well all power to her Elbow I say!

Have you considered a cold shower for your 'wondering'

Tilda Swinton (errr... should I know who she is?? or shall I just crawl back under my rock??)

squeaver · 16/12/2008 15:09

I don't think she's married to John Byrne, but he's the father of her children. I don't think they're in a relationship but they live together and raise the children together.

God knows how I know all this.

She is an actress - pretty good actually.
She was the white witch in Narnia, The hideous Solicitor in Michael Clayton ( with George Clooney - FAB film) and the angel Gabriel in Constantine with Keanu Reeve. Plus other stuff

ipanemagirl · 16/12/2008 21:49

She is a really good actress imo. and very intelligent too. but she does hv husband and lover. not many women pull that off do they?

LOL pagwatch

Apparently her DH has taken a much younger lover. Guess they will need a bigger turkey for Christmas this year.

ipanemagirl · 17/12/2008 14:59

i saw her in edinburgh this summer. with said husband and lover and kids in tow.
it just seemed like a lot of work.

ipanemagirl · 17/12/2008 15:12

Notwithstanding pagwatch's advice..... I am just fascinated to see if it can work. We just seem so encultured against this kind of generous arrangement designed to keep children with parents. But I'm sure there are many lowkey arrangements that we don't know about.

Not that I want a young fancyman for myself of course! Perish the thought! At MY age? I'd have to shave my legs!

Ipanegirl, everyone seems to be asking me about the "Mighy Boosh" lately. I have no idea what they are talking about, I am merely a fox that left its village to live in the City and got in with a bad crowd. Oh, and got addicted to Crack cocaine.

Regards Tilda, I couldn't be bothered with 2 men. One seems irritating enough at the best of times.

ipanemagirl · 18/12/2008 17:17

LOL crackfox you are a joy to be seen on this here internet forum!!!

How is this fair when i dont even have ONE man?

NorthernLurkerwithastarontop · 19/12/2008 17:12

I'm really pleased with myself because
I've finished shopping for dh's presents today - how does Tilda do it - charging round looking for stuff to give the two men in her life? I agree with the poster who said it seems like a lot of work!

ipanemagirl · 20/12/2008 11:35

It would be a challenge for Lady Tilda if she BOUGHT presents for her beaus, beaux, loved ones. But as they are all ARTISTS I'm sure they whittle each objets of sensual beauty out of nature's materials... stone, oak, driftwood asa presenrs to be hung in hessian bags on a tree from the jardin. Or paint portraits or write plays and then perform them en famille in the stables which hae been refurbished in the style of a wee 19th century variety theatre. Surely this is how it must be for an Artist en famille?

at ipanemagirl's poncetastic portrayal of Casa Swinton-Byrne.

MissChief · 27/12/2008 11:53

a lot of work?! Think somehow she'd have the funds to delegate the boring stuff - shopping etc. She's got it sorted, imho!

pantomimEDAMe · 27/12/2008 12:13

Just reading about it makes me feel tired - I have enough to do with one dh.

She was absolutely fantastic as the witch in Narnia, though. Just perfect. So clearly a complicated home life isn't holding her back.

zenandtheartofbaking · 27/12/2008 16:12

Can't help but feel that ipanemagirl's onto something with that vision.

She always strikes me as somebody who is going to have a very striking garden in later life.
