How I got rid of those last ten pounds


When we started this blog for the documentary, I promised myself I would never go more than two weeks without posting. I also promised myself that I would never start a blog post with something lame and apologetic like, Read more

The way you look


I  don't flirt. Ever. Not because I don't know how, but because I just don't like to. Being funny had always been my technique as a server and it was more profitable and less exhausting to maintain than keeping Read more

I believe in Dog


I am selfish and lazy. While I have been working since I was 14 years old and like to think I have spent a fair portion of my life if not in the pursuit of bettering humanity then at least Read more

Gratuity included


It's 2012. I hope I don't need to remind anyone (other than Conservatives and misogynists, if you'll pardon the redundancy) that women are so much more than their looks. We are capable of anything we set our minds to Read more

Parental Guidance Is Advised


A couple of weeks ago, my brother Dan came up for Mum's 75th birthday celebration with his five kids (Paul, 18, Em, 15, Lauren 14, Jon, 12 and Briana, 6), all of whom reminded me of what is was Read more

I stand before you, a sinner. I have broken my word.  I have not practiced what I preached. I have failed! Contrition was a big thing in the 80's. People were always apologizing for something or other and apparently it Read more

When we bought our house one of the things I was most excited about was finally having my own garden. I pictured myself in a filmy peasant blouse and faded overalls, my hair braided beneath a straw farmer’s hat.

Perhaps I’d reward myself with an icy julep, drawn from an antique pitcher I’d left glistening on the shady part of the deck. Clearly I’m speaking of ‘Alternate Universe Di’. You know, the Di who sews her own curtains, thought ‘Eat, Pray, Love’  was brilliant, and never, ever swears? Yeah, I can’t stand her either. Read more

George Michael’s video for his song ‘Freedom 90′ features supermodels lip-synching to his lyrics while symbols of his past career( guitar, jukebox, leather jacket ) are demolished.

I wonder which fashions from this era are dangerous and we don’t even know it yet. My money is on Hammer pants. They were bad enough the first time around, calling them ‘harem pants’  now doesn’t make it better.
