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 [...]
Bye bye baby, baby goodbye
American movies and TV are responsible for how we should view life's changes. Have a baby? Yes, the appropriate thing to do is spend all night nursing, pacing and placating the screaming child instead of putting it in it's cot and practising [...]
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 [...]
Family stickers suck

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
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
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 [...]
