| Taking a break for writing reports...
My take on some of the fashions i've seen recently in Marie Claire & Glamour - an amazing selection of designer hooker-looks from schoolgirl to Versace and Valentino with an equally ugy bag. Followed by some Tartan overkill...then from demented fairies to two foxy ladies in red (even if they have legs like pipecleaners... A cheeky outfit and some foxy but dangerous shoes! Don't they make the tendons in her ankles look AWFUL! i've seen nicer claws!
       
Cheeky but i kinda like. i do love the materials next, however, the peacock print and the McQueen. Eye-popping make-up and a weird neck-ruffle
    There are two dresses i love - first one with the thinest heels i have ever seen (they must be made out of titanium!) and the second one inspite of the damn melon! The next one is a modern version of fairy tales. Then it goes downhill again, starting well at the top but disintegrating into awful pants and ugly boots... The next is a truly stupid thing, is it even a dress? Maybe it is a thalidomide-victim band aid... and yes, studs on everything seems to be the rage just now, see the shoes above.     *sighs* Ok, back to our scheduled programme... Can i go watch some more of Donald Sutherland in 'Bear Island' now??
Have a great weekend, y'all...

| Hi y'all! i've just had a text from Rosie - "James still has curls! Looking great. Q&A was really intimate, James in my lap nearly! xx"Makes me wonder if he is still filming on 'Caprica'...- Mood:amused

| This is my report on The Hub3, strong language and stronger sentiments - you have been warned.
During the week, I read that James had indeed made the trip and arrived before the weekend. I relaxed somewhat and continued to prepare for the next one. - Mood:disappointed

| Dunno how long this will be up for but it's cute - there's a Spike Calvin Kline ad up on You Tube - saying Cio with Drusilla | |

| i've been busy, then slack and trying to sort what i want to do with my time. Anyway, my mate Caz is here from Aussie and i'm going to see her beginning of this week, then i'm off on a two day course, so i will be off the air for a bit. Take care, y'all!  love these paper shoes - the child-size ones are maps and the stilettoes are a cookery book.... Clever- Mood:curious

Ah, Mondays...never did like them... Got out and about early today; morning meeting, some shopping and dropped into the Fed office to get some petty cash refunded & have a goss. Got home about 2.30pm but it's going to be a long busy day tomorrow...
Tenants meeting here mid-morning, our long-overdue-for-opening Central Library finally does, my old mate Caz arrives from Brisbane to house-sit in London, for friends getting married and there's a Council meeting i want to sit in at 5.30pm... Caz will do some sightseeing too, catch-up on what she missed last time she was here and i hope to spend a bit of time with her, if we can co-ordinate something, during the 3 weeks she will be here.
i'm looking forward to going to 'Hub3' and 'Hallowhedon' at the end of October; James at both but John Barrowman has bowed out of Hub3 as he's doing La Cage now. Caz leaves as i arrive in Birmingham for Hub3. i won't be there to greet her or see her off but i didn't get to do that last time either, though i'd like to. She's a seasoned traveller now and it will be good to see her again.
i've a two-day course in Chester starting 8th Oct first and the following week will be pretty busy, so earlier would be better than later but she has the wedding and house-sitting first. i'm hoping to see her during her house-sitting but we shall see what we can co-ordinate, when she rings me.
My sleep patterns are out of wack again, insomnia mixed with shoulder pains...
Did you all catch that awful but compelling 'Wounded' programme shown on BBC1, soldiers horribly maimed by landmines & booby traps in ? It pulled no punches and packed quite a wallop, no sentimentality was allowed and the two guys they followed didn't want pity or babying. i didn't want to watch it and hadn't meant to, but having stopped for a look, i couldn't look away. Such honesty and bravery was truly humbling and made me glad i only had mild disability to cope with. i was so proud of them.
It's being repeated here and there, watch out for it if you can, nobody should miss it, not even kids old enough to understand. This is the reality of war - not glamourous, sexy, clever or Hollywood but dirt in wounds, noise and horrible mutilated flesh. Don't you dare say 'i can't watch that' - if they could bear it, so can we.
- Mood:contemplative
