My Passion For Wedding Dresses
6th June 2011 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
RECENTLY, I found myself trying on my wedding dress for the first time in more than 20 years. As I carefully took it out of its tissue paper, and put it on, the memories of the day I took my vows for the second time came flooding back.

LOVER OF RAZZMATAZZ: THE BAFTA’s
15th February 2011 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
I have always been a lover of razzmatazz, my childhood was a little too rustic and rural for me, and as soon as I could I dashed off to London for a fast life. I love things like award ceremonies that most people hate. I watch them like football match and I could go to every single one. The BAFTA's this year for example was so exciting for...

Cher makes sixty sexy and Christina Aguilera holds the torch of success as she enters Hollywood
16th December 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
The mice have gone thank goodness, and as they fled, so have the dreaded builders. I could stand it no more. There is something that few men hauling bricks around understand, a woman like me has to walk around in her underwear on her own. I hate being interrupted and nagged all the time. Luckily nobody has my new telephone number because I won't be having one. I am only...

Harry Potter lightens the load of mad architects and builders

I have been screaming at builders for a week at my new house in Cheyne Walk and not one job seems to ever finish. I could go totally mad except luckily the view of the boats from my bedroom window keeps me sane. Last week a rat jumped over me whilst I was lying in bed in the middle of the night, you can imagine the drama. I have spent...

The Kings Speech and Mandelson’s documentary.

It's been a whirlwind of a week. I have a major head spinning attack once a day as I am driven crazy. I think I have taken on too much. I just wish to cram in as much as posssible before the end of time. In between moving I have been dashing from one film to another and out of them I have fallen in love with the Kings Speech...

Never Let ME Go: London Film Festival

The story of the year has to be the rescued miners, who have shown super human resilience, I can only imagine myself down a mine and the terrible seizure I would have. I am so easily upset it drives me crazy. Last night I went to the opening of the London Film Festival to see the film Never let me go. Well directed by Mark Romanek, and starring Keira Knightley,...

A dash of pink with chic nudity

A week in Paris brings with it a certain glamour that other cities struggle to compete with. It was wonderful. The shows were all delightful without exception, but then the boring ones I didn't go to. Ungaro, whose designer Giles Deacon threw a tea party in a fabulous conservatory, covering a bus with flowers and showing delightful cocktail dresses, saved the day hopefully for this struggling house. Then there was...

The House of Balmain and The Lady
1st October 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
With England a trillion in debt (put in simple terms every man woman and child owes 20,000 pounds), The House of Balmain was up to the mark yesterday showing punk rock clothes, slashed mini shorts and paint splashed trousers. The bankers better watch out because they will soon be lynched if they continue to take huge commissions and live splashy lifestyles. The world is changing fast and they had better...

End of Fashion Week Blues with Tristran and Isolde

After last week's gripping fashion shows, the new revealing some quite extraordinary things, I didn't think I could be moved anymore in fact I was tired from moving, a little shaken. I need to be kept at room temperature and I feel tossed about. I stayed at the Mayfair Hotel, escaping the mood swings from those that work for me. Diving into clean sheets and wishing that I was in...

LONDON NEVER STOPPED SWINGING
20th September 2010 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
Rumours abound that London is the new Fashion oasis on the planet, with so many talented people from this City, it should have retained its self respect in any case. England has excellent training and is indeed swimming with talent. John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Ozwald Boateng, Vivienne Westwood, Charlotte Olympia, Jasper Conran, Phillip Treacy, Matthew Williamson, are just the tip of the iceberg of people in and from this country...
