Only 24 more sleeps to the Commonwealth Games

Only 24 more sleeps to the Commonwealth Games

So I'll bet you didn't know there were only 24 more days till the Commonwealth Games began? It's sort of been off the radar with the fact that half the stadiums aren't finished and people are being paid $4 an hour for their labour. And there's that [...]

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 [...]

Thongs injure thousands

Thongs injure thousands

Hah! That heading got all you non-Australians in didn't it. You have visions of people with calloused arses from their thongs, but that's not what I mean at all. Australians call flip flops thongs. Australians calls thongs g-strings or g-bangers. [...]

Letter to Julia

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

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Are you a scruncher or a folder? Well this could rock your world.

Are you a scruncher or a folder?  Well this could rock your world.

My husband spends hours in the toilet. Apparently this is a common trait of most men. Now we women are far too evolved to actually expend too many brain cells on wondering what they do in there (apart from the obvious), but in the interests of [...]

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. [...]
