    Powder room Finishing School

    Yes I did, and I have to say, none of them cut the mustard - though the girl who was an electrical engineer, or whatever it was that she did, scrubbed up pretty well. Having said that, some of the antics that went on at my finishing school (which was residential) would make interesting...

    Handsome Fellas!

    For the old school it's got to be Steve McQueen as Bullitt http://www.imdb.com/gallery/mptv/1421/Mptv/1421/3321_0121.jpg.html?path=pgallery&path_key=McQueen,%20Steve%20(I) In the current competition Daniel Craig as 007 (Steve Mcqueen-a-like) or, an unusual choice here, Roger Federer. Such...

    What do you do with a frumpy hubby?

    Maybe you could try some subtle "cutting off" of your own on them :) Or just take them straight to the dump, bypassing the bin.

    On Gentlemen

    No way ! My boyfriend does that for me. And he opens doors and stands up when I return to restaurant tables after visiting the loo... Haven't moved on to the advanced "opening the car door so the lady can get in it" yet though. But I am moulding him on my father, who is a true gentleman and...

    Hair

    I have really long, thick hair (waist length). Can anyone recommend a nice 30s/40s hairdo (but not Veronica Lake) for me that wouldn't involve (1) Cutting too much of it off (2) hours of work everyday.

    30's make-up for King Kong

    I'm surprised the makeup isn't spot-on, after all Peter Jackson was pendantic in the extreme in staging the Lord of the Rings. Strange not to get something as simple as make-up right.

    Tips for that nostalgic true feminine smell..!

    I adore Chanel Gardenia, which I am lucky enough to be bought by a very generous boyfriend. I also have a real passion for the Chanel Cuir de Ruisse, a more sophisticated and sultrier version of No 5.
