I guess most people have a preference. With men I tend to go for dark or red hair and dark eyes and I have a "thing" for nice shoulders. You can't stop people from having the attractions that they do, so asking if it's allowed without being questioned is sort of pointless. Of course it's allowed. That said, I…

I have two nephews whose birthdays are close to Christmas and I often use it as the excuse to buy a Christmas/Birthday gift combined. I reason that rather than giving them two cheaper priced gifts close together I can get them one thing worth twice as much. I've never had a complaint. Particularly not last year…

I have to be superquiet when I watch Q&A cos it's midnight after my late shift when I watch (with headphones on my 'puter) so I'm always a bit paranoid that my internal rants have actually been loudly vocalised and my neighbours are considering calling the police.

I don't know him or you, but your husband is a Philistine! (clearly said with tongue at least partially in cheek, but REALLY?)

I'm at work when Q&A shows on telly. It is my Monday night ritual to watch it on iView when I get home. Take off uniform/put on comfy socks/pour glass of wine/watch Q&A.

I read about this two days ago. Maybe you're not reading the right Oz media?

Right now, I'm feeling so much love for my best friend that I'm gonna ring her and tell her. Her hens night? There was a group of about five of us, we came to my place, drank waaaaay too much so that we were late to our dinner booking (for a restaurant that was literally two minutes walk from my house). We drank…

No honey, I don't think you are. And I love you for posting this because I was thinking pretty much every single thing you wrote. I'm sure that you, like I do, love and cherish the five people tops (three for me) that would ask you to be in their wedding party. And they do you. All this article (and others like…

I'm probably not the best person to answer this question, but any wedding where I've been a member of the bridal party one make-up artist was brought in to do the entire parties make-up (which was optional) or we just did our own. In fact, when my best friend got married, I opted to do my own and the woman who did…

I'm in my mid-f0rties, so I've been a bit out of this bridesmaid loop for a couple of decades now. Any of my friends that have gotten married later in life have had very simple and inexpensive ceremonies. I'm also not from the US. So, I'm a bit confused.

I was reading that New Yorker article about Terry Richardson the other week and wondering to myself why there was no mention of the clothing store he owned (I'm Australian, my knowledge of American Apparel is limited)? I legimately thought they were the same person until Mr Charney made the news this week.

Nah, she's an Aussie "journalist" trying to sound hip and 'on-trend'. The lifestyle columns of most Australian publications these days seem to be written by wanna-be's who have a limited social circle and are desparate to be seen as cutting edge. The problem is that we still have a massive cultural cringe that we…

I live for the day it was that simple. Unfortunately, we live in increasingly entitled times and more and more people seem to think that their precious little snowflakes should be allowed to express their precious selves in any environment they wish to take them. Common sense is the most ridiculously named thing of…

Oh, I laughed at this comment. Thank you! I work retail and at the end of a long day if somebody bothers to ask what I'm doing at the end of my shift the answer is always, "Going home and having as little to do with other humans as possible!" Lord knows I love my friends but humanity (what a misnomer!) as a whole…

I've long since abandoned any hope I may previously have had that there is any such thing as journalistic standards in Australia. It's been years since I've been able to read any print offerings from my own state (QLD) without shuddering. I made exception for a restaurant review for a venue in which I was employed…

Not that I would (I HATE posing for photos, this would actually be my worst nightmare) but if I was co-erced on threat of death, mine would be Hot Fuzz.

I love his voice. I'm not totally in love with the original (I liked it just fine) but this...just....sounds like a slowed down version of the original by somebody with a great voice. It doesn't really do it for me. Sorry. I'm a bad human being.

The part of this that makes me the most curious is this: What part of him is NOT raw?

I penned (typed) a long response similar to this when I read the article this morning, but my computer froze and I gave up. After reading her tweet, I'm glad I did. I suspect Ms Graham might just be trolling.
