These Bitches Aint Shit

These Bitches Aint Shit

Firstly forgive the title. I hate women being referred to as bitches, but really when you hear this you'll see where I'm coming from. It's a youtube clip of a gorgeous girl's choir singing Dr Dre and Snoop's Bitches Aint Shit. Butter wouldn't melt [...]

Aussies have bums, fair dinkum

Aussies have bums, fair dinkum

If you wanted to upset my old man (that's Australian for father) you just had to refer to people as guys. "Australians don't have guys we have blokes or fella or sheilas," he'd growl. The older I get the more I think I'm turning into him. Takes [...]

These are a few of my tackiest things

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 [...]

Dry August, am I too late?

Dry August, am I too late?

Last month was Dry July. People were asked to give up drinking to raise money for charity. I actually don't know anyone who did it but there must have been quite a few because there's a website and people's names with fundraising efforts beside it. [...]

I feel rich when….

On Saturday mornings, before I head off to my yoga class, I like to nourish my mind that is usually consumed with TV shows, celebrity gossip and trashy chic lit novels, with Kathleen Noonan's Last Word column in the Courier Mail. Her most recent [...]

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 [...]

Boys, does carrying your ipad about make you want to buy a manbag?

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 [...]

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 [...]
