Ah that well oiled clause “no strings”. It really is one of those expressions whose meaning is very much dependent upon the context in which it’s used. I mean I hardly think Pinocchio was singing about what he might fancy getting up to with a couple of marionettes was he… Seriously though, you probably need […]

GENTLEMEN! Boys, boys, boys! When are you going to wise up?   This week, amongst an influx of eager new messages, two in particular stood out from the crowd:  one lad and one mantoy (yes, there is a difference…) A ping-pong of chit-chat ensued which was pleasant enough, until whooaahh! first thing on Monday morning, […]

Do ya’ll remember that column I wrote ages ago about the 5 kinds of men we need in our life at any one time?  You know, a man who can fix things, a man you can talk to, dance with, have good sex with and a man that can buy you things, that column? Yes, […]

And even you, although you’re shaking your head… The other day there was an amusing discussion going on in my office about which of the Minogue sisters was the more attractive. Of course the general consensus was that Kylie had […]

Another weekend without Mr. Magnolia.  And the sun was out.  The sky was this tehnicolour, swirling blue, like my mother’s blue crystal ashtray that she bought in Stockholm in 1962 for my Dad back in New York. Today was just a day to thank who ever you believe in for being alive.  Ah, but I […]

If I had a pound for every time someone asked me why I was still single, I would be cruising around the Med in a luxury yacht with my harem of male Dolce and Gabbana models, most probably not giving a damn about my single status. I agree on paper, it doesn’t quite add up.  […]

Your parents did it, your grandparents did it, and you do it (and if you’re thinking you don’t, then you’re doing it to yourself right now). Lying!! We’re all big fat liars, people have been telling lies since, well since people have been people. Essentially, despite how much we like to laud ourselves as a […]
