McQueen Memory lives on
1st March | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
With the sad death of Alexander McQueen, I lovingly went to my cupboard to see his clothes, touching them as I hoped he had done. I must have at least 45 jackets ,17 coats, 25 shirts, shoes, scarfs, everything. I was, as you can tell, a huge fan. He gave me the figure I desired. He was definitely a lover of all women. I used to always go to his...

Despite having to diet this week in Los Angeles, I have been in an incredibly good mood, surprisingly so, I am meant to be going through the menopause, and all I can do is laugh, I think I am celebrating. Why do we women make so much fuss over these things. Anyway we do. In any case, so to avoid middle age spread I have had to embark on a...

My darlings, it is the New Year, and with the start of anything new come all sorts of promises. I will be this, I will be that, I will be good, I will get married - or find a lover at the very least. All my single girl friends complain all the time that the male situation is dire. Why I do not know - there are so many men...

Do you ever feel out of your depth. The bills have landed on the doorstep, and you don't understand a word? Do you read the small print?
I am still efficient with bills, but not first hand, as I have had an assistant who has run around for me for the last ten years. But when I do see them, they make me shake; I feel sick and remember nothing. I... -
AM I AN ALIEN?

Do I look like an immigrant or alien? Do I look like I want to take over American Express, do I look like a drug dealer? Well the borders of America think so. "What do you want Miss in this country?" The room you can hardly breathe in smells of piss and sick. I look around it is full of maids who want to be economic immigrants and a screaming...

What’s the big idea?

I am confused, I am a blonde. Who do we believe, David Icke or Barack Obama, Gordon Brown or Stuart Wilde? Who tells us the truth, where do we look for the real answers, backed by honesty? My favourite Pope is dead, and I believed him. "Let everybody in, open all the doors, don't be afraid". With the internet, knowledge can be a scary thing. If you look up the...

Nowhere Boy, a new beginning

Is it a good idea to have a relationship with someone who is much younger? Well of course there is the skin, the smell and the excitement of youth, and the carelessness of youth too. But I have just spent an hour on the telephone with a friend talking about the difficulties he was having with a girlfriend who was much younger. He wasn't being realistic, he was saying that... -
The drugs don’t work…

One way or another, men in my life have tried to murder me all week. Between gasping for breath and coughing all night, I was ready for my last rites. On Saturday I decided to have a flu injection, to prevent me from contracting the Piggie Flu. On getting the symptoms, another male friend suggested that I take the Tamiflu that I got from some dealer last year. Then yet...

Party to tango

Hell's bells! I have been living in a dream. I was under the assumption that the word "party" meant joining up with friends to have some organised fun - but consider this. The other day, when hanging with my son who was back from Harrow, I told him to go and hook up with a certain female friend. He turned on me and said: "Are you mad? She's a party...

Princess and the Tree

I don't really like being a do gooder. I like the image of being very very naughty, but of course next to everybody else, my bad behavior is rather like a rebel without a cause. I like helping people and they don't really notice. I hate counting, but of course you are apt to be walked over and that is not such a great feeling. Anyway, getting back to the...
