Ned Kelly, Ben Cousins, drugs and life

Ned Kelly, Ben Cousins, drugs and life

So what did you think of the Ben Cousins' Such is Life doco? Just for a bit of background the title came from the large tattoo that Cousins has tattooed across his stomach and ironically were the last words spoken by bushranger Ned Kelly. Now [...]

Ommm, did someone fart?

Ommm, did someone fart?

Someone let go a fart at yoga the other day. In an everyday situation it would probably have gone unnoticed, because it was a discreet, very lady-like fart, except this was a yoga class and we were all very, very quiet, concentrating on our [...]

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 [...]

Dry August, am I too late?

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

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 [...]

What’s on your anti-bucket list?

What’s on your anti-bucket list?

I love anti lists. I actually wrote an anti-list at the beginning of this year. Had a glance over it and yep, I'm on track. I haven't done any of the things on my anti-list. This is constituting a very successful year. So a new trend in [...]
