Not my cup of tea


I think it’s because I am hanging out for a holiday that I keep taking note of interesting destinations.
But just so everyone is clear, while this is interesting it is not my idea of a relaxing holiday. In fact it is the thing nightmares are made of.



The Leap of Faith  at the Atlantis Resorts in Dubai & the Bahamas
I have had enough encounters with sharks in the wild without forking out my hard earned cash to scare myself silly. But if you’re into this type of devil may care excitement we have a similar thing here in New Zealand, except you walk not slide and there are rabid dogs on either side of you, it’s called South Auckland and we won’t charge you a penny.

If you ever had any doubts


I work with and for the French and I know they are a bunch of crazies.
Not in a twitchy I’m going to boil your bunny kind of way but in a let’s bounce across the river kinda way.

Behold the trampoline bridge! Why walk across the Seine when you can bounce. If you see a sudden rise in slightly water damaged Louis Vuitton handbags on Ebay you'll know why.

Sister to the Rescue


Nothing makes you feel better about your wobbly bits than seeing other peoples!
My sister dragged my PMT arse out of the house, amidst much wailing and protest, to a burlesque night last week and it did wonders for me.

The big, the small, the firm, the floppy, the old and the young everyone gets cheers from the crowd and it’s a good reminder that beauty comes in many different guises.
Designers take note: skinny catwalk models prancing down a runway do not make me want to buy lingerie, this does.

Crazy Like a Wildfox


While I may not want to  be“Forever Young” I will always be crazy like a fox, and Wildfox is right up my alley. Especially as the 2012 collection encompasses both cowgirls and beach bums. Something for everyone yeehaa. And as an extra bonus you get to listen to Francoise Hardy as you shop.
