    What is the best etiquette book for the modern/21st century woman?

    Merry Christmas everyone and many thanks for all the replies, much appreciated - in the end I opted for the Ita Buttrose "a guide to Australian etiquette" for my sisters gift. I think a more modern view would be more her thing - and I do love Ita! For myself I ordered 2 books - one by Emily...

    Phryne Fisher/1920s Melbourne come to Television

    Oh yes, heard about this last year I am very much so looking forward to this. Melbourne in the late 1920s, hope they get it right [seeing Australia loves tearing buildings down and whatnot]. What actress would be a good candidate to play Ms Fisher?

    anyone wear grey hair?

    I forgot to add - what are peoples thoughts on 'white' hair? Is white hair considered part of the grey hair topic or a whole different thing? My mum has pure white hair, I have commented (in passing) would she add grey highlights to her hair - to me white hair is a bit stark..

    anyone wear grey hair?

    Here in Australia I have recently noticed a number of young girls/women dying their hair grey (colour similar of the previously posted Kelly Osbourne picture). Before they used to bleach it white-blonde, now it is the grey. My niece has informed me it is the 'thing' at the moment. I would...
