13 again

When all your friends go to a music festival and you don’t, you too can get drunk at home, listen to Folk Implosion, watch Kids and remember your shameful weirdo teen crush on Casper.

If you drink enough you might think it’s a good idea to skate for the first time in years.

cute boys cute boys cute boys, um, cute. boys.

That’s what my thoughts sound like. Or should that be thought?
Cute boys are probably my longest-running interest, apart from books. Sometimes I like to combine the two by going to the bookshop on Charing Cross Road where the cute boy works, or by reading about cute boys. Just now I pretended to read an article [...]

Ou est le discotheque?

Claude Francois IS the discotheque, and his snake-hips are the light-up dancefloor. Sadly his amazing dancing didn’t mean he had the smarts not to change a lightbulb standing in a half-full bathtub. But that’s no reason not to watch every video of him dancing you possibly can. If I walked into a club full of [...]

I hope he knits sweaters too

All Knit Long

Sweaters We Wish Had Been (Undone) combines three of my favourite things – musicians, tenuous puns and knitwear. Some of the choices are uninspired, but there are some delights, like Lionel’s lurex mix, two JTs (James Taylor in neutral perfection and Timberlake’s white rollneck) and Elton’s dangerously strokeable sweater.

Fierce.

Here, Boyz II Men have quite rightly been [...]

I love you

My dog, on the other hand, is racist. Yes, racist.

is that a broom in your pocket…

…or are you just excited for the Half-Blood Prince?
Our best friend often says I am “so Slytherin”. I’m not sure if that’s meant to be a compliment, but I’m taking it as one, especially after watching this:

I’m off to read some Tom Riddle fanfic and practise my ‘Lady Voldemort’ signature.

I epithesi tou gigantiaiou mousaka

Don’t speak Greek? That’s cool, me neither. BUT I do know the meaning of the above, and I also know it’s gonna come in real useful next time I visit Greece… So, not so long ago my boyfriend and I were making Mousaka. He told me there was a film called ‘Attack of the Giant [...]

Are you a woman who has most of the extensive goddess-qualifications?

One gentleman’s quest to find his goddess
Don’t worry, his terms are negotiable, although as a “Global Visionary” and an inventor of technology which will re-define the entire computer industry (as well as the powerful sexual skills suggested by his forceful use of caps), I don’t see why he should have to.
His search for a lady is [...]

Reasons not to eat that cream pie

One.
Two.
Three.
I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. Thanks Wellcome Collection!
On another less disgusting note, Bobby Baker’s exhibition ‘Diary Drawings’ was just wonderful – in an immensely depressing sort of way . For the last 11 years, she has kept a ‘diary’ of her mental health status in watercolours. And her mental [...]

men in boots

This was an accidental discovery while looking for riding boots. I was at work at the time, but that wasn’t going to stop me from exploring the sensual world of men in boots.

You can select who to lust after either by their face, their preferred boot, or in some cases their seductive nickname (sometimes disappointing, I [...]

Lessons learnt from Sweet Valley

So, I grew up on Sweet Valley High books. I had pretty much the entire lot and those I didn’t have often arrived in the form of too-exciting-to-be-true-packages (admittedly on loan) from my intercontinental cousins. The wise words of Francine Pascal and her army of minions, through the perfectly shaped mouths of Jessica and Elizabeth [...]
