This lunchtime a friend sent me a link to this slide show from MSN Life & Style, showcasing the 10 Celebrity Body Shapes we Love. My friend thought I might appreciate the generous application of the word “curvy” in what he deemed an “insidious and dangerous” feature.

I got some great responses to my Disney vs Feminism post yesterday, thank you all! But one, from Fia at The Laundry Narrative, really inspired me. I ended up writing a long reply to her comment… and eventually decided to address the issues in a follow-up post instead!
(This is why I love social media – [...]

I have a secret to share with you, my lovely readers. I’ve written before about how I’ve never really grown up, how I still love children’s books and dressing up and regressing into Disney films and musicals on a Sunday afternoon. But that’s not the worst of my regressions. My big secret is that, somewhere [...]

Earlier this year my family were unfortunate to lose someone who had played an important role in our lives. After he passed, it occured to me that he’d taken all of his memories with him, all the details of the role he played in our history, in the horrendous conflicts which would have stolen his [...]

The dating bandwagon

This post started life as a comment on Sarah’s blog, but she proved so inspiring it took on a life of it’s own and moved over here. It’s still a reaction to Sarah’s post, Lovers in a dangerous time, so hop on over and read hers first, then you can read mine as a response.

Talking to a couple of friends online last night I had an epiphany. Neither of the lovely ladies was particularly happy, and the root of both their unhappiness was, typically, a man. To clarify, these are two very beautiful, very intelligent, funny, independent women. The menfolk in their lives were screwing them around, making things [...]

Easily Mused: Why Chicks Cry
I had to share this – it had me sniggering out loud at my desk yesterday afternoon. Luckily there’s only Clare in to comment, and once I’d reassured her I wasn’t laughing at anything she’d said or done I was free to snort uncontrollably to my heart’s content! Enjoy!

I’m not much of one for celebrity gossip. I don’t read celeb mags, don’t care about Kerry’s rehab, or Ashley’s affairs – I’m only really interested in what the ladies are rocking up the red carpet! Yet bobbing around the lifestyle section on Times Online today I was drawn into this “BrangJen” feature – I [...]

Yup, it’s getting more official by the day – curves are back. And we’re not talking Dita Von Teese or Eva Longoria curves (though those ladies are indeed curvaceous!), but real-world curves – the type you get from eating food, not forcing your waist into a teeny tiny corset. The latest proof of this comes [...]
