Spatula nails update
I continue to wage my fiery yet futile war against the spatula nail. Katie Price/Jordan has long been an offender, but I tend to try and ignore her wherever possible. However, this image from the Daily Mail online suggests that a) she is, like, so totally into her new man Leandro and one hundred percent […]

An Exclusive Festive Interview
Today I bring you an interview with my friend Clare. Here she is, second from the left. We have been friends for 15 years. We were flatmates at university, and actually took a train up to London once to buy the last two bottles of Rouge Noir in London. Ours is a strong bond, built […]
