    New Dior Collection

    Designed by Galliano and absolutely imensely droolworthy IMO! http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2007CTR/complete/thumb/CDIOR Just look at those shapes! Take away all the frills, get to the basics and you have very vintage-looking garments. I shall be interested to see how...

    The Dumb Waiter

    OK, so it's theatre and not cinema but I have to share this with you. If anyone gets the chance to see it, then do - it's amazing! Trafalgar Studio, London. I managed to get a sneaky photo using my phone, hence the low quality. This was as the audience was taking its seats. Jason and...

    How to give a pill to a cat

    A little humour for all you dog lovers...and cat lovers too! 1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens...

    Which Historical Lunatic Are You? (quiz)

    Just for fun, I tried this quiz and here are my results: I have never heard of this person - I was hoping for Vlad Tepes or Lucrezia Borgia, or even George III! lol How will you fare? http://rumandmonkey.com/widgets/tests/lunatics/

    Eragon

    Not quite as dire as I expected...but almost! Strong points; baby dragon (uber cute), Jeremy Irons (phwoarr!), Robert Carlyle (also phwoarr in a very evil way!). Weak points; if you've seen Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, you have absolutely no need to see Eragon as it is is blatantly a...

    The Perils of Political Correctness- a modern fable

    REST OF THE WORLD VERSION: The squirrel works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building and improving his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the squirrel is warm and well...

    Handsome - nice to look at or irresistable?

    Following on from this: (Referencing Poirot) But what is a handsome man? Is it merely that he is good looking, has a good body, looks great in his clothes, is well dressed...or a combination of all of these? I suspect that Cary Grant would still be handsome even in a potato sack...

    What is this?

    I came across this image in a knitting pattern book and cannot for the life of me work out what the man has attached to his lapel. Anyone know?

    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    As some of you know, some friends and I, in conjunction with Lush (the cosmetics company) did a nude calendar to raise money for a charity called Changing Faces, which helps people deal with disfigurement. Because of the nature of the charity, we felt it would be wrong to use Photoshop or...

    I got offered a new modelling contract!

    And it happened so randomly too. As I was leaving the jazz club last night, a photographer stopped me and told me that he'd been taking photos of me all evening and that he'd be happy to give me prints. He then went on to ask if I'd consider modelling for him and when I mentioned that I...

    Tales of the Gold Monkey

    OK so not a film but still moving pictures nevertheless. Who remembers it? Anyone got the DVDs? What is the quality like?

    A cautionary tale

    Ebay. Grrrrr. Grrrrr. And grrrr again. I bid on a beautiful pair of wingtip Spectators and guess what? Ebay blocked it because I live in the UK and the seller is in the States. Presumably she didn't state in her profile that she would ship the to UK but I'd had an email from her telling me...

    Vintage Housewife...

    ...who'd be one eh? Today I decided to take the day off work and be a domestic goddess. I got up with my partner (no, I shall call refer to him as my husband today, since I am being a vintage housewife!) and whilst he was in the shower, I ironed him a shirt, pressed his trousers and...

    Hello, I'm new in town!

    Greetings ladies! I was just looking in at the hat forum (my partner is looking for his first Fedora, so being the lovely person I am, did some 'research' on his behalf!) and I discovered that men freeze frames on DVDs to look at hat labels, turn over china in restaurants to ascertain...
