The Curse of Clooney

Don’t do it ladies….but of course we would!

It’s one of the mysteries of the world – the eternal bachelor George Clooney.  He can have any woman in the world but chooses to have a bit of ALL women. 

I’ve hunted down Mr Clooney’s previous ‘relationships’:

Three months here, one year there, nine months, 5 years on and off, not even a month – hello??  This man has some serious issues!  And consequently, so must have the women who have dated him!

Serial womaniser is not the word.  From Kelly Preston (who later went on to marry John Travolta), to a marriage with actress Talia Balsam (matching flowing locks) to Mariella Frostrup (ha, bet you didn’t know that one!), Lisa Snowdon, Renee Zellweger, this man really cannot be tied down in any shape or form.

I may be harsh but Hollywood superstar or not, he is a really sad individual who feels the need to move from woman to woman when the mood suits him.

We keep doing it to ourselves hoping we can change a man, but whether they are 34, 28, 42 or even George’s devilishly handsome 50 years, when a man does not want to commit, there is no hell on earth than can make him do it.  But never, I hear you ask?  Yes, some people are just born this way.

Oh and George is onto it again…Stacy Keibler, a model turned wrestler, if anyone can pin him down she can.

I blame their mothers.

Ever lonely George?

Music is my first love and it will be my last

Holiday Happenings

  Going on holiday can be more stressful than staying at home with the British weather.  I mean, forget the 'have I remembered to turn off the hob, feed the cat, double lock the front door?' - it's the packing that can really send you over the edge.  Ever found yourself asking will I need my exfoliator, cotton buds, hair serum, tweezers, nail varnish remover, eye de-puffer, moisturiser, body louffer, whole body over-hauler??!!  I could go on but but you get my drift.

  Why hasn't something been invented that could just DO IT ALL?  Clean, wipe, smooth, remove, cover - surely it cannot be that difficult!

  It would solve a number of issues - luggage weight, under-eye baggage (if like me you are having sleepless nights about packing) and excess body baggage that I'd rather not be taking with me and trying to squeeze it into a two-piece that only gets worn for a fortnight once a year.

  And when there are two of you of the female kind, everything is doubled and spread across the hotel bathroom like Eddie Izzard's backstage dressing room.  Let me ask, has anyone been able to travel with a minimum of 3 beauty products?  If so, how in the world?!

Tanned and Beautiful

Bronzed beauties such as Farrah Fawcett, Elle MacPhearson and Jennifer Lopez have always soaked up the sun (or faked it) to achieve that sun-kissed glow.  It's skin that luminates, appears healthy and catches the light in a way that pale skin just doesn't.  Let's not forget how slimming it can make you look.



Bronzed Beauties

 On my most recent sun-worshipping holiday to Italy, I lay on the sun-lounger gazing lovingly at that round ball of fire to toast (or roast) my pale and uninteresting skin.  It wasn't all fun and games, when I discovered a red strip near my bikini strap - ouch!  Still, it was worth it when I was complimented on my healthy glow.

Before you shout my head off and tell me that I will age quicker and possibly develop melanoma, I will inform you that I used a relatively high sun factor but relaxed it a little to achieve my few weeks of radiant happiness - superficial as it is, I feel pretty damn fabulous! ;)

Stag Dos? Stag Don'ts

  There is something I don't like about Stag Dos.  Okay, so I have never been on one, don't have a bloke who has been on one but I kinda get the idea what they are about......Are they so bloody necessary?!  Boozing, ogling, boozing and more ogling.  I'll admit that not all are like that.  The issue I have is why do they feel the need to get on a plane and go abroad - Prague, Las Vegas, Sydney??!  Yes, those were just a few of the places I have heard about grooms-to-be going on their staaaaaags.  What is wrong with a small gathering in a bar/pub as they did in the 1960's?  Nothing!

  Let's compare it to some Hen Dos I have been to. A spa day, murder mystery and restaurant with belly dancing to name a few.  None of these required me to get on a plane, spend a small fortune and toast to the end of being a 'single'.  It's all a big show-off nowadays and it's going over the top. 

Warning - A stag on its way

  So, I vote to revolutionise the whole Staaaaag situ and would like to see men stay in for a night of charades and peanuts and if you really want to go wild, pull out the Scrabble for some competitive scoring.  Much more civilised!  Any takers?

Size really DOES matter

This is always a topic for discussion but I am not talking about the nether regions.  I am talking about stature, from the floor to the ceiling. Yes ladies, men’s height.  What is an acceptable height for a man to be a ‘man’ and not a midget?  Is it me or are men getting shorter?  I am, by no means, blessed in the height department myself being 5’3”, which is why I want to make this point.

I spend more time talking to men at my eye level than raising my head by a number of degrees and I am quite frankly disappointed.  I want to look up, gazingly at a man....and I also want to find him in a crowd.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t want a giant, gangly looking man but someone in between, a six footer would be ideal (I see you nod in agreement).  So, maybe I should move to Germany or a nordic country where men’s hairlines touch the clouds.  Try that out for size.
