Yes I know I haven't blogged all that much this year. 2010 hasn't been kind to me on many levels, and, I'll be glad to see it go. I hope 2011 holds much better times for me in all areas of my life. Maybe I should just go back to my own version of Mr Big , and, take it from there. It's funny, I watched " Sex and the City " last night - the movie (the first one), and, my own Mr. Big and I are very much like Carrie and Big... Even the on again, off again thing for the past ten years. Alas, it is... Read Full Story

Yes I know it's been forever since I posted. I've had lots going on in my personal life, and, it hasn't been the best. Everything from an ailing Father to dealing with an ongoing problem with a tooth - the dentist finally decided the best solution is to yank it. Gee, lucky me. I'll be back to posting regularly soon... I hope. Read Full Story

Today I had one of the most disheartening experiences of my life. I took a friend shopping for a rather special event and it ended up with her in near hysterical tears. No it was nothing I said or did. No the saleswoman wasn't rude. No there were no ill words between her and husband or her and her children. The reason you ask? The clothes themselves. My friend is a beautiful woman who just happens to be overweight. No I don't mean overweight by fashion world status - anyone above a size 4 is... Read Full Story

"Posh" aka Victoria Beckham has banned super skinny size zero models from her runway show. Whether it was a spur of the moment decision or something that has been planned for a while - Posh has taken the (brave) stand that size zero is too thin for almost all adult women and has turned away no less than 12 models that were size zero from appearing in her Fashion Week runway show. I say "Bravo!" and "Well done Posh!" Jessica Simpson was the guest judge for the season finale of Project Runway... Read Full Story

I've been trying to be good and work today, but, I'm finding it hard to kick into gear after the long weekend. It's a bit too warm and my mind is wandering a little too off the beaten path to be productive, so, I'm allowing myself a rare "goof-off" day and hopefully the motivation will return to work later this evening or first thing in the morning. I've found that - at least for me - when I am experiencing one of these days, it means my mind is in overdrive and I need to just chill and let... Read Full Story

Yes, I've been bad - the last time I blogged was back in July and here it is September 2, 2010. Sorry things in my life have been in turmoil - I've been the victim of ID theft and getting my life back in order has been nothing short of a nightmare. Anyhow, since I'm getting back to normal or as normal as one can get after having their life invaded and stolen from them... Here is what I found absolutely interesting today... I signed into my Twitter account for the first time in God knows when... Read Full Story

Well here I am - officially booked on the full 2012 World Cruise on Queen Mary 2 which includes the full circumnavigation of Australia. Funny how a two or three people didn't believe I was actually going but hey it's their loss. I invited people who turned me down and I'm not even going to give them a second thought beyond this short blog entry. There is too much to look forward to than to dwell on people who didn't have enough trust in me to believe this would actually come to pass. I've... Read Full Story
