STYLE: Why This Blog Is Just So Much Rubbish
I have this dream. It’s a dream where everybody can actually be the person that they are and connect with other people who’re being who they are and we can all just be ourselves! Together. And have fun doing it. And maybe just change the world a little bit at the same time. The wonderful […]
Add A Fabulous Coat To Your Wardrobe
I love coats. I always have. When I first graduated from college and got my first job the very first thing that I bought was a full length black trench coat. That was in the middle of the X-Files era and I was a massive fan. I used to put on my trench over my […]

Boobs or Butt? The Basics of Evening Wear
Recently the VMA’s were held and in true completely superficial fashion (pun intended) I’ve been checking out what all the stars wore and, just as interesting, what people have to say about that. Everyone has a different viewpoint. One thing all the commentators seem to agree on is that highlight your tits, or highlight your […]
