I’m shocked.  Really, I’ve led a sheltered life.

I’m shocked. Really, I’ve led a sheltered life.

You know those John Wayne movies when the kindly madam from the whorehouse comes good and usually takes a bullet for the good guy? Well I'd never really given much thought to old fashioned whore houses, the same way I didn't really give much [...]

Would you pass this 12 step plan to staying young?

Would you pass this 12 step plan to staying young?

Bees. Honeypot. That is me when I see articles called things like 12 Stay Young Secrets. You can read the original post here, but I've summarised it for you. How many weeks an hour do you exercise?Ideally 2.5 hours. Yay I do that which [...]

Bikini body–arrrggghhh!

Bikini body–arrrggghhh!

Bikini body. Are there two words more likely to strike fear into the heart of any woman? Maybe brazilian wax, but that fear only lasts a short while. Bikini body will haunt you all summer long. The Guardian newspaper ran a terribly serious [...]

Come back Masterchef.  I need my fix.

Come back Masterchef. I need my fix.

Gosh, it's only been one night and already I'm missing Masterchef. Such a lovely show, and a powerful one--caused a time shift for the great political debate--now that's people power.  I actually tried to watch the great political debate. Julia [...]

Letter to Julia

Letter to Julia

Dear Julia   I know it's only been a few short weeks since you've become Prime Minister but what a lot you've achieved in that time. You've called an election,  spent many long hours formulating new policies that you hope will get you [...]

I've got a bit of confession.  I tape Masterchef so I can fast forward through the ads, except for the cheese ads.  I love the cheese ads. That man making comments delivered such as "I weep" and "I love listening to stories about your [...]

Whoopi Golberg and John Jarratt defend Mel Gibson.  John who?

Whoopi Golberg and John Jarratt defend Mel Gibson. John who?

Another day, another Mel Gibson rant. It hasn't been his week has it? Actually it hasn't really been his century. So unless you have been trekking the Himalayas without wireless access for the last few weeks, you will be fully aware of the taped [...]

It’s my big arse that makes me forget things

It’s my big arse that makes me forget things

I'm a pear. Pear shaped. Peary. I don't like pears. I want to be an apple. Empire lined dresses were invented for apples. I love empire lined dresses. What do we pear shapes get? Bootleg jeans!--which are just plain wrong in a sea of skinny [...]

Come out, come out wherever you are

Come out, come out wherever you are

So we've got an election coming up on 21 August. Great, everyone says. Now we've got to go and bloody vote. That will me and you, but there are 1/2 million eligible people who will not be voting because they can't be bothered. Poor pets. Too busy [...]

What’s Julia wearing today?  Should we even care? There’s an election coming up for heaven’s sake.

What’s Julia wearing today? Should we even care? There’s an election coming up for heaven’s sake.

How is it to be a woman in public life? Take our new (highly likely to be elected in her own right) Prime Minister, Julia Gillard. She's just announced we're going to the polls on August 21 despite presently coping a bit of a caning over her asylum [...]
