On All Fours

The invite to end all invites has landed in Em’s inbox and it is confirmed, Em is off to the Australian premiere of the new ‘Wicked’ movie in Sydney. She’s also hitting up the press junket and hoping she gets to chat with her actual hero Cynthia Erivo, as well as Ariana Grande and Jeff Goldblum. Inside you’ll get to hear Em’s plan of attack, plus outfit explains for both her interview and red carpet appearance and so much more. Then, as society slowly comes around to the idea that middle age women are an untapped resource worth catering to, we’ve found two new things targeted at women over 40 worthy of your attention. The first is a full review of the new Netflix movie ‘Lonely Planet’ where Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth have a passionate affair whilst on a writer's retreat. Then it’s onto the new book ‘All Fours’ from Miranda July, which is part absurd entertainment, part tender reinvention of the sexual, romantic and domestic life of a 45-year-old female artist. I mean, what could there possibly be in this book that Em might connect with? Everyone who’s anyone has recommended ‘All Fours' to Em, and having finally read it she’s now recommending it to everyone too, from perimenopausal peeps to your partner, this book is worth your time. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra, Em and Michael ‘Okay, Stop’ the trailer for Nicole Kidman’s upcoming movie ‘Babygirl’, and the upcoming Martha Stewart doco ‘Martha’.
