So who’s a fashion critic?
This is my Gen X Girl column for this week's Savvy magazine in the Townsville Bulletin. Did you see those nasty fashion types dissing tennis queen, Sam Stosur, about her lack of fashion sense? Apparently her post US Open red and white striped [...]
A vino a day keeps the doctor away
I spend a lot of time scouring the web for items about consumption of alcohol. Sometimes I do it to scare the shit out of myself (you know cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, etc) and sometimes I do it to justify my daily tipple. This is about the [...]
Fat hair
I know why the weight has been slowly creeping up on me. It's my bloody hair's fault. Now before you think I'm just going all blame happy here, someone who has important initials after their name put the idea in my head. US Surgeon General Regina [...]

Poo and you
Much as writing about this topic makes me want to start rapping S.Mouse's Poo on You, I will refrain. Miranda Kerr, who I will admit I am liking more and more, has addressed the serious topic of poo and you on her Kora blog. You can read the full [...]
The new black–the 20s
I've just noticed that the 1920s is the new black. It's everywhere. Boardwalk Empire, the new (and very hyped) Underbelly Razor and my favourite of all Phryne Fisher novels by Aussie author Kerry Greenwood. Now I'd just like to take this [...]
