CHRISTMAS PARTY WITH HELENA BONHAM CARTER!!! | VLOGMAS DAY 4

#MiddleAgedMinx #vlogmas #london
What a wonderful Christmas party it was! Helena Bonham Carter, Vanessa Redgrave, Sheila Hancock and Simon Callow all in the same room!! Never have I partied in such literary surroundings or company! And then I’m stopped and recognised in Belgravia by the most famous of A list hairstylists!! I hope you are enjoying these vlogmas videos as much as I am making them! Thank you for your constant support.

What a treat to watch MiddleAgedMinx more often than once a week! Thank you.

[@roohiblake5760]

I just love that despite all her Hollywood success etc, Helena Bonham Carter remains quintessentially English.

[@headron66]

I just love it when Jo is more excited at meeting one of her subs than meeting Helena Bonham Carter ( wonderful actress)😂❤

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

its true x

[@tayd.7373]

Viewers who support her channel support her. HBC doesn’t.

[@lisawalton4667]

😂I love Myrt popping her head around you when you’re chatting to us on the sofa😂❤🐾🐶

[@deboramccallum3987]

I did notice Myrt getting pushed back...she's modeling her bow!

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

Hi Jo. It’s lovely to see you more than just once a week on a Sunday. Do you know, it’s hard to believe that the U.K. is in the midst of an economic tailspin when you show us the magnificent shop windows and the Christmas decor of the London streets. I’m happy though that all the wonders of the festive season are still apparent in spite of the fact that so many of us will just be ‘window shopping’- it brings us some joy in these troubled times. ❤️🎄🥰

[@IvyRoad]

Thanks so much for taking us with you to this delightful event. I ADORE Helen Bonhom Carter with her fabulous style! She really didn’t disappoint - she is a work of art! And Simon Callow and his swoon-worthy voice! And Hi Mark!

[@anniediana6336]

Jo, My hubby Norman’s first job was at the London Library in 1967 - 1972, before we met, and he absolutely loved the place. So fascinating to see you in the Reading Room at the party there. Brought lots of memories back for him, many famous writers and celebrities were always wandering in and out, and he was quite star struck!

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

omg!!! I bet it hasn't changed! x

[@Italiana911]

Your coat dress is probably my most favourite item in your wardrobe. It goes so well with your colouring. 😊 xx

[@endeavouringit]

I agree, it looks stunning on her, I love the gold dress also

[@susandonovan7989]

"I cannot run in Prada"....classic Jo!

[@tayd.7373]

Can we take a moment to appreciate Christmas world wide, lights, music, ppl together. Last year it was quite different. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone…

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

hurrah!! x

[@EsteeWalts]

London is at its best in Christmas time. Even digital it is a joy to watch all the wonderful lights!!

[@BeckyWaters_]

Hello Jo 👋 What fun you are 😊! I stumbled across your channel while looking up other Vlogmas videos. I chose your first vlogmas video only because you were a mature lady like me ( I’m 58). What a delight to find out that you are British! I love all things from the UK👍. I am a mother and housewife from northern Utah, USA. Thank you for sharing your London with me, especially at Christmas 🎄! I’m hooked on your videos💙

[@MiddleAgedMinx]

stick with me x

[@monicadrummond7148]

Am I the only one eagerly waiting by my laptop waiting for Jo's next Vlogmas💗

[@carolg5340]

no, me too!

[@janet-myspinonthings7016]

And me lol!

[@truthbeknown6317]

Me too 😊

[@endeavouringit]

I live on my computer (not good), I'd miss it more than my phone as I love the KZbinrs I follow, along with Jo. You should check out Chateau Diaries, if you haven't.

[@mrss3534]

I check my KZbin for a new installment (multiple times) every day! 🤭

[@jmk1962]

Your coat dress is stunning, I love it. Your wardrobe must be a tardis, you keep finding more and more beautiful outfits from it all the time. How lovely that Sam sent you some of his products and then you randomly bumped into him and then meeting another man who follows you, that's 2 new men in one week.

[@joannevaughan5951]

Just wonderful…. “I just can’t run in Prada “ 😂😂😂 ❤

[@kathybriscoe1474]

I agree with Monica as I wait for daily Vlogma. I love your coat dress and enjoy the outings you share with us.

[@kayisonyoutube3435]

Wonderful to see all the London streets lit up. Myrtle is so sweet..so keen to be in on the action.

[@nicollef8080]

I just love it when you either bump into subscribers or the wonderful Sam McKnight!! You are always so pleased to be stopped! Sam's products look gorgeous!

[@marilynthomson9564]

Another joy filled video! Thank you so much.

[@ingridmacdonald6559]

Thank you for bringing so beautiful pictures from lovely London, lived there for over 20 years and without Brexit, maybe we would be back....now living in Belgium and even travelling to London is disturbed by all this strikes...please keep going lots of love❤

[@mariefraher8725]

Thanks for taking us to your party. H.B. Carter is an absolute favorite actress of mine! She is beautiful, talented and charming. Also, you look absolutely stunning!

[@starshine8169]

wow nice to see Simon loved him in 3 weddings and a funeral thanks Jo you look fab in your gold dress !

[@juliedubberley1192]

Do you remember him in a comedy series years ago with Brenda Blethyn, they played a young engaged couple?

[@starshine8169]

@@juliedubberley1192no sorry but I will make a point of looking it up, thanks

I have been an avid reader since childhood, to have a library like that is a dream.

[@trishhickson1550]

How wonderful to have neighbours who ask you round for champagne. I don’t see mine doing that any time soon, or ever😢😂

[@truthbeknown6317]

You and me both Trish!! Mine are the neighbours from hell alas xx

[@trishhickson1550]

What fun! Wish I was there enjoying the day with you 💚

[@eleanorbesly9868]

London is truly at its best at this time of the year. Thanks so much for taking us to the event at the London Library, Jo! Seeing Helena Bonham Carter in her tux and top hat, and having Simon Callow read us a bit of A Christmas Carol… what a fabulous treat! Fancy running into Sam McKnight, and then showing us all those gorgeous hair products! I am going to have to try some of those, every one of them would be so useful and luxurious I’m sure! Love that coat dress you are wearing, and huge hugs to the adorable and affectionate Myrtle. Loving the vlogmas vids!!! 🥰😘❤️💚

[@dori9024]

Jo, your makeup looks stunning. Your sparkling, humble personality and your joy of life of course will attract all. You are amazing

[@aspen1214]

Such a sparkly, festive vlog!! The library is a dream and London looks out of a fairytale at this time of year! Thank you for the precious snippets! ❤

[@eileenbowery5538]

Jo, the gold dress and the Italian dress were amazing on you. I love the way you say Prada. The City of London is simply beautiful especially at this time of the year. The library was a treat and lovely. Running into Sam McKnight what a treat and having the products at home to show us was even better. As, I said in my last vlog your skin is glowing. Thanks for sharing your exciting life with us. Looking forward to the next vlog.

[@robinbussenschutt6127]

Love the Italian coat dress so much I am an Aussie but am heading to France for Xmas and hope to head to London in January and walk through Marylebone and follow your footsteps 😊 through your beloved London

[@lindademeyer3486]

This was epic! The London Library and St. James Square scenes were beautiful. I’ve read about them but have never scene them in person. Thanks so much! Happy Christmas from Idaho 🎊xoxo

[@EnvyBlu]

Ooo a new Minx video! I gotta stop it before it starts, so I can make myself a nice hot cup of coffee, grab a blanket and get cozy before I watch it. ☺️🎄❤️ Love these videos! ❄️🤶🏼🎅🏽🎄⛄️ ☕️

[@donnacutrona2460]

Jo….Happy Christmas🎄🎄….as they say in the lovely UK…just have to share that this vlog about the library etc and how you met the famous hairdresser, talking to Myrtle and about Myrtle…gave me a great mood lift when I really needed it…you’re such a delight to watch…love your channel…you deserve to have in my opinion a million subscribers! You make the world just a little brighter…something I’m guessing many people need…cheers from the USA🎄🎄🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@DGsa1661]

Jo, don’t feel like you must move Myrtle away. We LOVE her and she makes your blogs extra special. She’s part of the family ❤

[@danielaciao1]

Wow! What a treat to be breathing in the same air as HBC 😀 She looked amazing! A really lovely vlog. Enjoyed it very much. Have been bed ridden for over two weeks with a broken and fractured ankle. Feeling very sorry for myself after surgery. If I can’t be part of Christmas festivities, at least I can live it vicariously through you. Merry Christmas! Everyone. 🎄🎄🎄😘🎉

[@tiachantelou119]

Sam Mc Night! WOW! Had no idea he never had a salon. He is legendary. Love him.

I LOVE seeing Mytle....great video

[@seanjamescameron]

What a brilliant night out, will have to visit the library myself. Last week you read out my email on the radio about how disappointed I was about the Christmas lights on Oxford Street - now I can see the real show is on the side streets.

[@louisehyden4802]

Hi Jo yet again you've done us proud with a trip to the fabulous London Library with Helena Bonham Carter what a treat . Love the christmas lights . Thanks Jo for another view of London we don't often see . Much Love xx

[@purplesunflower8242]

Hair products totally works.....love the Green Coat teamed with Pixie Hat...

[@mareesimonis7656]

Hi Jo, great vlogmas. Sam McKnight’s ‘Cool Girl’ volumising spray is a miracle worker. I’ve got fine hair & impossible to get any volume going after washing. Can highly recommend. A tip .. lift up sections of yr hair and spray close to roots to get max vol. xx

[@susanstones347]

Hi I’ve searched comments to find someone who’s got the products,where can i buy them please thanks if you reply in advance

[@ginajennings1664]

Oh wow, this was so much fun I might have to rewind and watch again. And watching Myrtle is worth the price of admission as my mom used to say. I adore you both, and seeing London in person at Christmas is something I hope I can experience one day until then I will live vicariously through your vlogs….I’m going to google and see where I can buy those hair care products and the defusers that might be my Christmas present to myself.

[@missVmilne]

You traced my steps through London yesterday Jo as I walked down to Fortnums to get some Christmas bits. The lights are splendid especially now the weather is dry and cold - hooray for festive fun and your vlogging - well done to you and Filippe. Hello from N2 xx

[@sherryllynn1809]

I am so enjoying your taking us around London for Christmas. I went there many years ago as a young woman, and it was so magical at Christmas. I appreciated your taking us to the library. It seems odd that Helena Bonham Carter is part of the library, as she doesn't seem like the type to be a nice, quiet reading person. But I'm sure she brings a fun crowd. And the reading of Dickens, how special! What a treat for those of us who cannot fly there for Christmas!
