= Happy Belated Birthday to Anapela Polata'ivao! =

Instagram Story with a photo of Anapela Polata'ivao seen from the side as she walks past, dressed casually in loose-fitting trousers and blouse. Text at the top of the photo reads, “Happiest birthday mama @ AnapelaPolataivao, forever grateful for your alofa from day one. One word – continue! (White Heart emoji, Partying Face emoji, Birthday Cake emoji.) Love you fa'alausoso'o (3 pink heart emojis).”



Anapela poses at a red carpet event for her film Tinā, with writer & director Miki Magasiva and her co-star Beulah Koale. Anapela is wearing a vibrant green patterned dress with an elaborate red and blue flower collar, while the men both wear a formal black lavalava paired with a dress shirt and traditional Samoan leis (garlands/necklaces) made from flowers and pandanus tree seeds.Source: Anapela's IG Stories

= David Jenkins =

David sending out some love to juniperlights.bsky.social!

‪Bluesky post by @ david-jenkins.bsky.social‬, quoting a post from @ JuniperLights.bsky.social‬. The quoted post reads, “Trying again with correct hashtags... Finally finished this beauty, from the # OFMDCraftFair pattern by @ DarcyLindbergh.bsky.social. Now it's in my living room so every guest knows what they're getting (angry queer dorks who love pirates and fiber art). Dog bonus below!” The post includes a photo; description by JuniperLights: An armchair containing a white pillow. The pillow is cross stitched with an extreme fun, deeply cool design featuring a rainbow flourish and black lettering that reads “our fight, our family”. David's response consists of 4 lines of emojis: 13 purple hearts, 13 flexed biceps, 13 pirate flags and 13 unicorns.

= Rhys Darby =

Rhys is going to be in the new volume of Love Death + Robots on Netflix!

Still from the episode “Golgotha”: Rhys Darby's character, a vicar, walks alongside an alien on a beach. The alien walks on 4 long, grey, tentacle-like legs. Its torso seems to be encased in a kind of artificial exoskeleton/space suit kind of thing, attached to a glass helmet filled with green liquid so the creature's head is mostly obscured.

= Con O'Neill =

Some love from Con!

Selfie of Con O'Neill standing on an empty-looking sidewalk on a sunny day. He is wearing glasses with lightly tinted lenses reflecting his phone screen, and he is smiling slightly. Text across the top of the photo reads, “LA you absolute beaut, C x.”

= Nathan Foad =

Nathan keeping us entertained as always!

Nathan Foad sits at a table on a lawn, dressed in short shorts, white sneakers paired with white socks, an unbuttoned shirt over a t-shirt, and a baseball cap. He seems to be talking animatedly; his mouth is open and his eyebrows drawn together in a frown as he gesticulates with one hand. Text at the top of the photo reads, “This is my whole vibe, FYI.”

= Damien Gerard = 

Happy very belated birthday to Damien's kitties! They've been keeping him company lately and giving so much very needed love!

Another Bluesky post from Damien: “These three have been my constant companions since my dad died. They know I'm sad and are trying to help. And they do help. Very much. Each day is full of ups and downs and it's crazy to think that my journey to the UK might be the last time I visit my childhood town where my parents lived.” The post includes a photo of 3 cats lying on a desk, 1 of them half on top of a keyboard and 2 squeezed between the keyboard and a large curved computer screen.

= Cohen Holloway =

I didn't see any advertisements but a kind person on some of the Neon NZ IG posts let me know when this hit Amazon Prime here in America! Dark City Cleaner, starring Pop-Pop, aka Cohen Holloway (You may also know him as Clifton from WWDITS 2014, and "The guy always fighting Rhys/Taika in various shows") is finally live in the US!
He's the lead in this show, Joe aka the Christchurch Carver, and as someone who enjoys dark humor and suspense, I have to say I was really impressed! I highly recommend it if you like dark kiwi-style humor, and don't mind listening to the inner mind of a serial killer with just a hint of body horror.
You can check it out here!

Poster for the show „Dark City: The Cleaner”. It features a photo of Cohen Holloway with a serious expression on his face, seen from the chest up in three-quarter profile. 3 press blurbs are written on the poster: “Instantly addictive” – Flicks; “Fabulous performances” – Stuff; “Riveting, coal-dark and gasp-inducing” – The Spinoff. In the bottom right corner it says, “Get it on Neon”.
