Underweight models, Jennifer Hawkins and other fattist propaganda
It was my husband who first brought it to my attention. "I'm a bit concerned about Jen. She's looking a bit skinny." To whom was he referring you might wonder. From the personal concern you might assume it was my daughter, except for the fact [...]
These are a few of my tackiest things
I have a tacky list. Things I would never do because they're well...tacky. Things like double denim. Fashion experts can tell me all they like that double denim is back but it won't change my mind. If it's tacky when Justin Timberlake does it, it's [...]
Princess Perfect
If Princess Diana was alive today she could have taken lessons from the book "How to be a Perfect Princess" written by Princess Mary of Denmark. Maybe things would have worked out differently for Di. So how perfect is Princess Mary? She's so [...]
Thongs injure thousands
Hah! That heading got all you non-Australians in didn't it. You have visions of people with calloused arses from their thongs, but that's not what I mean at all. Australians call flip flops thongs. Australians calls thongs g-strings or g-bangers. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s my big arse that makes me forget things

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 [...]
Boys, does carrying your ipad about make you want to buy a manbag?
Image I'm very taken with the new ipads. They are very, very sexy. And the stuff they can do. Well I want one. But I won't get one, but it doesn't stop me from lusting after one. It's the internet costs that would kill me. I'm all for the [...]
You’ll never guess whose handwriting this is
Who writes like this? Well it's obviously not that of a doctor is it? Or any normal human being for that matter. Perhaps it's a professional calligrapher or one of those cartoon letters? Nope wrong on all accounts, for these are the jottings of one [...]
