Not so much fun when the shoe’s on the other foot, is it Brendan?
I think this season of Dancing with the Starswill be remembered for the one fingered salute that Tamara Jaber and Alex Fevola each gave to their erring husbands. Point one to Tamara. Firstly she married that awful Kyle Sandilands and then she was [...]
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 [...]
Princess Perfect

Weight problem? You could be the ideal bridesmaid.
I've never been a bridesmaid. Gosh that's sad isn't it? I've spent many hours wondering why? Is it because I'm not a good enough friend? Maybe I was too old? But now I know the real truth--it's because I wasn't fat enough. Yes that's right. [...]
Do you want to be hotter than your daughter? Really?
Sorry about the delayed posts. I truly underestimated the effects of jetlag. Let's just say that drinking 10 vodkas and two bottles of wine on the way back from Rome was not, in hindsight, exactly the smartest choice. So in my jetlagged induced [...]
