James finally meets his Queen, Anne Mitchell, Dolly Rawlings from Widows, 40 years in the making, at a matinee in...

This week on Two Ginger Gems, James went to Phoenix, took a train to the Grand Canyon with his cousin Lyn, who's joining them in the studio, forgot the sunblock was in his pocket the entire time, and is now essentially a lobster.

There's the Queen Elizabeth fashion exhibition at the King's Gallery that you need to know about, o...
