Remember… Actor Caitríona Balfe looked incredible in a red-lip look paired with a winning Valentino Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2020 sheer blouse and black bustier dress combo. The look was put together by Canadian superstylist Karla Welch (who also worked with America Ferrera, Kristen Wiig and Kaitlyn Dever last night). — CBC Life

MIK s2e2: MĀORI CULTURE: Sam recalls some poignant moments when he gets a Māori "moko"
Tumblr media
After reading a post about a TV Line recap of MIK episode 202, I decided to watch this episode about Māori culture for myself. I was touched by the scenes where Sam and Graham each tell their stories in the process of getting a nonpermanent version of a "moko" (or tā moko), a deeply meaningful form of tattoo in the Māori culture.
Tumblr media
Tā moko artist Hohua Mohi explains that someone who wants a moko will "sit down for a good hour" and start talking about some part of their life that is meaningful, like their family, where they came from, etc. As they are talking, the moko artist is drawing, and consequently, every moko is unique and very personal.
Tumblr media
The Story Behind Sam's Moko
Tumblr media
SAM: Well my dad left, when I was, uh, very young, three years old, so I didn't--I didn't know him at all. HOHUA: Yeah. SAM: I actually didn't know his name.
Tumblr media
SAM: And uh, my mum brought me up with my elder brother in the south of Scotland. She's--she's been very, very strong my whole life. And she struggled, I think, to look after two young boys.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SAM: Um, and it probably wasn't until I was… mid-20s that I finally, uh, met my dad. And, actually, very recently, I got to see him just before he died, which was uh, incredible, just to learn about him and his life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SAM: And, uh, we spent a few days together. I work a lot, and I'm very fortunate. But I always put it first. So I guess, uh, relationships are difficult.

Sam's Moko Explained and Revealed
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HOHUA: So, if you look at it, it talks about your--your father. It talks about your dad and then your brother in here. This manaia here represents your mum. And so it's obviously facing upwards. SAM: Yeah. HOHUA: I've been giving you advice. SAM: Ah, so she's been giving me advice, mm.
Tumblr media
HOHUA: And if you look at it, rather than just follow a single line, all of these colors, they branch off, they branch off, they branch off. SAM: Yeah, yeah. HOHUA: And it was-- They came from you talking about how you wanted-- ultimately, you know, you don't know whether or not you're gonna settle down there, but you- you want to go and see the world. SAM: Somewhere else, yeah, yeah. HOHUA: So that's what--that's what this will remind you of. You know? SAM: Different branches.
Tumblr media
HOHUA: Yeah, but also, no matter which way you branch off, never forget where... [speaking native language] SAM: Wow. HOHUA: Hmm. SAM: My friend. [shakes hand] So beautiful. GRAHAM: That is really-- SAM: Thank you so much. GRAHAM: It's pretty. SAM: Isn't that awesome?
Tumblr media
SAM: A strange experience as well. GRAHAM: A unique experience. SAM: Yeah, just also very personal. It felt like going to therapy a little bit. GRAHAM: Yeah. SAM: But, uh, very, very honored. GRAHAM: Yeah. Yeah. Really, thank you so much.
Tumblr media
Being a therapist myself, it seemed to me that the process of getting a moko is very much a therapeutic experience. The person getting a moko focuses inwardly and shares important parts of their past that define who they are. The moko artist appears not to be judgmental and listens at a deep level. Then the artist presents the moko, which is a visual symbol of something very unique about the person. And they also give verbal feedback to the person about what they have understood to be the essence of their story.
Sounds like a "therapeutic" encounter to me!

___________ NOTE: Images of Sam's moko were enhanced for clarity and to accentuate the colors. Thanks @thetruthwilloutsworld for making the TV Line Recap post. I'd never watched any episode of MIK before. I'm glad I watched this episode. I enjoyed learning about Māori culture, as well as finding out more about Sam's and Graham's personal backgrounds.

Climbing to the Top of Harbour Bridge - is Sydney's #1 to-do. You see Sydney at its Best. But The tall man behind the woman is a local protector or involved with Outlander’s events, he looks familiar to me. 🫤

Posted 23rd February 2024
@thetruthwilloutsworld Thank you, I thought it was Steven, but looks much older. I know he's involved in Outlander events, including SH's private events, but what is he doing in Australia? SH's American manager will be hosting SH and friends at the event. If so, there are no Aussie hosts for an event in Hublander-Australia 🇦🇺

I wonder what kind of visa Steven Himber has to enter Australia to work for a weekend 🤔

An emotional goodbye! Caitríona Balfe on filming final season of Outlander
After ten years on air, the final season of Outlander is nearly upon us.
The historical drama starring Sam Heughan and our very own Caitríona Balfe has had a brilliant run but the next season will be its last.
The group are in the middle of filming at the moment, and it’s an emotional time for the cast and crew.
Speaking to VIP Magazine on the IFTA red carpet, Caitríona said, “It’s a strange thing to be at the end, but still have five months to go with filming.
“We had our first read through about a month ago. We all got a bit choked up because we’ve been together for over ten years and for better or worse, we’re totally a family. We’ve all grown up together on that show. We’ll be so sad to say goodbye to it.”
Tumblr media

And while we’re all desperate to know how the show will wrap up, Caitríona admits the details are being kept under lock and key, even from those on set.
“I don’t even know what’s happening in the end, they’re keeping it very top secret,” she said.
“What we do know though is that you can never please everybody but we all just hope that they [the writers] make what they believe is the best version and we have to hope people aren’t too upset.
“But they’re going to get a prequel so the audience will forget about us very quickly,” she adds.
Filming is due to wrap by the end of summer, and Caitríona already knows how she’ll be spending her downtime: “There’s going to be a holiday for sure! I’ll be straight on a plane to somewhere with a beach with a drink in my hand.” Rightly so!

Thanks for the message, Anon. 😃
We’ve seen photos of Caitríona with her nephews and nieces and her friends’ children, as well as photos and video of her with Outlander’s child actors. She looks like she genuinely enjoys the company of children, and I imagine her wee lad benefits from her nature.

No, she was not alone. And anyone who read my blog Sunday evening would have seen a screenshot of her husband had Mr All Thumbs better control of his phone while watching the IFTA red carpet activities on TikTok. When I attempted to take a shot of his walking into the Royal Convention Centre shortly before 6 p.m., my fingers failed me, and instead of getting a screenshot, I closed my phone screen. #HowEmbarrassing

Their vacation is soon upended when two strangers — G.H. (Academy Award winner Ali) and his daughter Ruth (Myha’la Herrold) — arrive in the night, bearing news of a mysterious cyberattack and seeking refuge in the house they claim is theirs. The two families reckon with a looming disaster that grows more terrifying by the minute, forcing everyone to come to terms with their places in a collapsing world. Based on the National Book Award-nominated novel by Alam, Leave the World Behind is produced by Esmail Corp, Red Om Films, and executive produced by Higher Ground Productions. — Netflix

Remember… The Sixth Commandment tells the story of how the meeting of an inspirational teacher, Peter Farquhar (Timothy Spall) and a charismatic student, Ben Field (Éanna Hardwicke), set the stage for one of the most complex and confounding criminal cases in recent memory.
It also focuses on how suspicions around Field’s relationship with Ann Moore-Martin (Anne Reid), Peter’s deeply religious neighbour, unlocked a series of chilling revelations. — BBC
