Not so much fun when the shoe’s on the other foot, is it Brendan?

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 [...]

Does infidelity show us someone’s real character?

Does infidelity show us someone’s real character?

If I told you that our politicians had more in common with the French than the Americans then I think you might take a bit of convincing. Yes that's the French who with their laissez faire approach to fidelity actually have a president who left his [...]

Bye bye baby, baby goodbye

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

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

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 [...]

A ninja took my bride

A ninja took my bride

OK, when I first saw this video it took me a while to realise it wasn't for real. Or was it? I'm a bit confused. Is the bride's hair real or not? But anyway I digress. I remember when my husband and I did our bridal waltz at our wedding to who [...]

Family stickers suck

Family stickers suck

Have you seen those family stickers that people are now decorating their cars with? They've replaced the frangipani but not the private school sticker that says I'm a (insert overpriced private school of choice here)  rowing/tennis/tuckshop [...]

What’s Julia wearing today? Should we even care? There’s an election coming up for heaven’s sake.

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 [...]

Did you know that Twilight can kill you?

Did you know that Twilight can kill you?

OK, I'll admit it. I'm one of the few women in this world who have not jumped on to the Twilight bandwagon.  I actually feel a bit left out, but I only have myself to blame. I tried, I really did. I read the first book and got half way through [...]

Weight problem? You could be the ideal bridesmaid.

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. [...]
