There are a lot of strange people in the world. That's a given. I've watched Eurotrash, I've had a stalker, I've had bizarro texts from acquaintances in the small hours. I am aware of how freaky people can be.

Despite this, I still feel a bit creeped out when I discover weirdos putting it out there.

While I was browsing on eBay for cheap tights I found a few items that really shouldn't be for sale in a civilised world:
one
two
three

These women are selling their dirty hold-ups and pop socks to pervy men. I know that in Japan, you can buy school girls' old socks and knickers from vending machines, along with a Tracker bar or something, but it is not right.

I object on several counts:
1. If anonymous weirdos want to buy your soiled smalls, what else do they want to do? Will these pervs end up stalking you and god knows what else? Or maybe they won't do that to you, but what about someone else?

2. If they think that some women find this acceptable won't they think all women will?

3. What kind of man would buy such ugly leg wear from someone who doesn't even bother to paint their toe nails or get rid of the dead skin on their soles? G-Ross.


I mean if you want used underwear, wouldn't you buy it from someone with more attractive feet?

The woman doesn't even know how to wear hold ups, look at how low she wears them!

There's no way that they actually do hold up, so me thinks she doesn't wear them round the office like she claims.
Ewww!

Heh heh, this reminds me of that Sex and the City episode when Charlotte gets free shoes in exchange for a man holding her feet:

Exile On Main Street Blues

Why don't all bands write songs advertising their albums?

These guys are so hot until you hear their music

The Jonas Brothers!
Buy some wax ear plugs and enjoy.

They are the David Cassidys of their generation.
They don't look like Mormon freaks, they look like really cool, sexy guys you want to flirt with.


The band may not be Mormons but there are quirks. Their parents have apparently encouraged them to wear Purity Rings, which means they allegedly don't believe in sex before marriage. However, I'm sticking to my David Cassidy theory and I just hope these kids are having a good time all the time, while they can.

I suppose by having pseudo Christian beliefs and saying they're staying pure until marriage maybe they are less threatening to parents, and if their fans are super young it will probably fit with their romantic/Barbie doll ideals. Nick Jonas says that wearing the rings is "just one of our ways of kind of like being different than everybody else out there". Which shows that he is savvy to marketing ploys.

You know that they're making a living covering Busted and Kim Wilde tunes.

Crazy.
But hot!

OMG! STOP EVERYTHING AND READ! O.M.G! BARRY GIBB NEWS!

Barry Gibb is going to be on Dancing With the Stars, the American version of Strictly Come Dancing, next season. HOW EXCITING! I think I'm going to explode!
OMG!
Barry Gibb dancing!
Yay!
I love the Bee Gees so much. They are one of my favourite bands and one of the greatest songwriting teams of the last century, up there with Lamont, Dozier and Holland and Lennon and McCartney.
See for yourself:

A Black Cat Just Crossed My Path

We're selling our house. It's going really well and it's very pleasant, if hard work, living somewhere with show-home style cleanliness.

Something interesting I've discovered though, along with popping your toaster into the oven to keep the kitchen looking neat, is that most of the people viewing our property don't like black cats.

I don't understand it, who could not love such an adorable kitty!

Especially as they're clean, placid and we keep their cat food locked up. My two British Blues are part of the family!

However, because we live near a mosque (which is just such a brilliant thing because the dropping prices aren't affecting this area as badly) a lot of the people viewing the house are Muslim.

I am discovering that in Islam it is believed that black cats, dogs and snakes house evil spirits, called Jinn (as in Jenie in the Bottle). If a Jinn inhabits a black, cat, dog or snake then it is apparently very evil.

So these lovely families are coming round my house and they see my cats sleeping on beds and get a bit edgy when the kitties move.

They just don't know what they're missing out on!

I suppose the superstition is similar to the North American/ Southern European one that black cats house the spirits of witches. I'm happy to be an Anglo Saxon because we think black cats are very lucky. In Britain if a black cat crosses your path some good luck will come your way, but it's the contrary in the US.

Anyway, I think I'm super lucky to live with two such adorable cats.

Jumble on Sunday

I will be here on Sunday if you fancy purchasing any of my gear.

This is the fourth clear-out I've had this year so it's only the very good stuff left, like loads of great books and DVDs, plus unworn size 7 high heels in different colours.

Sex and the City London Premiere: The Outfits

I am trying very hard to avoid finding out what happens in the SATC film until I watch it at the end of the month, so far a friend told me about a death and a birth AFTER I begged her to shut up. I'm forgiving her only on the condition that neither plot exists in the film.

However, although I won't be reading the reviews that hasn't stopped me checking out the red carpet fashion:

What do you think of the outfits?

Personally, I think Sarah Jessica Parker's hat is just hideous. One of the silliest things I've ever see. She's ruined how elegant and flattering her dress is by topping it off with something so stupid. Why would you wear a big branch on your head?

I suppose it's very Carrie, but is my belief that a penchant for such ludicrous accessories is one of the reasons the character is perenially single.

Who could possibly compete with hats like that? And maybe one's choice in accessories is akin to one's taste in men. That's why she goes out with losers!

I know it hasn't received great press but I love Kim Cattrall's Vivienne Westwood dress. Red is always fabulous, and off-the-shoulder is the chicest choice for summer formal dresses.

Cynthia Nixon just looks so pretty and feminine, and her figure is looking amazing. She's got such beautiful arms!

I'm not so hot for Kristin Davis's outfit, but it is nothing as horrific as the outfits of all the ladies here:

What's with those silly feathers in their hair? And all that excessive ruffling actually makes them all look quite butch.

Deespite the zany fashions I just can't wait for the film. Here's one of my favourite quotes from SATC, Samantha's of course, 7 minutes in:

Mick Jay-ger!

Dreams: What does it mean?

What does it mean when you dream you get your heart's desire?

I just dreamt something that was so wonderful I woke up and forced myself back to sleep to hope I could dream it again.

Now I'm fully conscious I just feel sad and frustrated that my life isn't like that.


On a similar subject, I'm still having lots of crazy dreams. I dreamt that Peter Kaye was fooling the world about his background, and is actually a former public school boy and friends with Boris Johnson. Thank goodness that was just a nightmare.

Typical of all former Gordonstoun almunae, right.

Who the fuck voted for Boris Johnson?

Who the fuck voted for Boris Johnson?

I went away for a long weekend, and have returned home to a lardy, albino, gas guzzling, coke snorter as mayor of my city.

I'm just devastated that true Londoner, and man of the people, Ken Livingstone, is no longer our Mayor.

But back to Boris. I mean who the hell voted for him? Sure, all those racists in Romford have always voted blue (apart from the year that the BNP candidate and the Tory one got into a fist fight while the ballots were being counted), but my neighbourhood had been red since 1992.

I hate Boris Johnson.

He's not even a Londoner! He was born in New York. And he's not even an MP for London! He is an MP for Henley-On-Thames which is not only in Oxfordshire, but outside the M25. You can't even pretend that it's in London!

He has policies like
"Train stations need to be safer" err....okay, and how are you going to achieve this?

Also, his campaign organisers printed off t-shirts with "Women for BJ" emblazoned on them. This is a fucking political campaign, not a feature for Loaded magazine.

He's cancelling the £25 congestion charge for gas guzzling cars. What's going to discourage people from driving SUVs in London now? They're dangerous, disgusting cars which only function is as a status symbol.

Is this the thanks Londoners are giving to Ken Livingstone? The man who rallied and supported us all during the darkest days following 7/7?

Ken truly believes that London is the greatest city in the world.
Boris truly believes that snorting racks of coke several times a day is an acceptable way to live.

I don't know what we're going to do without Ken. Now we have someone who appears to have run for mayor because the election looked like it would be a laugh. He didn't even consider what he'd do if he won.

I have no idea how he won. What kind of moron would vote for a moron like this?
