The Front Cover.
The March 2013 issue of Vogue US had Beyoncรฉ as the cover star. 31 days later, the May 2013 issue of Vogue UK has Beyoncรฉ as the cover star. I guess she forgot to say something in the US issue that was so pivotal it warranted a whole cover for the UK issue. Or maybe…

Popping the Cherry.
Relax your horses not that cherry, its a cherry of a different kind. All my life, I don’t remember ever using red lipstick. I’ve always fantasised about it, often wondered what it would look like on me. I love it on other women, it always looks so powerful and sexy and confident- nothing states confidence…

GoT. Season 3 ep.1; Valar Dohaeris
So we left the whole Westeros crew in a bit of a disarray, White Walkers appeared, Sansa became an outcast in the King’s Landing and Khaleesi got her dragon babies back. Of course Joffrey is still a psychopath and his mother an ice cold queen mama. Jammie Lannister is still en-route to be delivered, talk…

Game of Thrones.
I don’t like gore and blood. I don’t like sword fights or men in tights. Not really a fan of fighting wars or medieval times either. I like pretty modern day films, set in cosmopolitan cities where a natural order of things run smoothly and given some twists and turns, good vs evil, good always…

When PC is too PC.
Thanks to the evolution of the internet and the new age of Social Media, we have become a generation of the overly Politically Correct. Whilst there may be situations that demand boundaries be set- for instance when The Onion, the satirical website, rightly apologised for calling Quvenzhanรฉ Wallis the C word- there are other situations…
