Well, the last time I took to my blog I was 39, I have hit a whole new mile stone and hilariously it took me a whole month to recover before I could really write about it. The giant bitch about 40 is that its not just that your body suddenly starts to fuck up …
A Visit to the National Women’s Show
Billed as “The Ultimate Girls Day Out,” the National women’s show was jam packed with vendors and presenters of all kinds trying to sell their goods and services to the thousands of women who flocked to the three day event to sample, savor, get makeovers and shop to their hearts content.

The New Girls Night Out: A Night with Miss Victory Violet
There once was a time where we all got tarted up in vinyl mini skirts, tie on half tops that the cat couldn't fit into and ripped fish nets, chain smoked, got trashed on shots served out of test tubes, danced until we couldn't, threw up, danced some more, drank some more and slept it …

Work, Work, Oh Shake it Up Baby!

Back in the Swing of Things
I haven't posted in weeks because I have been alone with my two kids and work to do and I have been battling it out with another depression. It was one of those too many things to do at once so all of them get done badly type of scenarios and of course, the grief …
My Love of Vintage Lingerie
While I have had a whole string of really awful days over the last while, on one of those days, to try and make myself feel better and cared for, I hit buy on the item that had been hanging around in my Etsy cart for three weeks. I don't just like vintage lingerie, I …
