Should Kate stub it out?

Kate doing what she does best to the extreme on 9th March 2011, blows the audience away whilst walking down the catwalk at Paris fashion week

According to newspapers Kate smokes 80 cigarettes a day.  After a three years she struts her stuff in skippy hot pants, laced blouse and kinky boots all by Louis Vuitton.

This is just another stunt to get  into the papers and get everyone talking about her.  She obviously doesn't give a monkeys, that's why she did it.  She's already told the world "I'm not a role model,"  which is why her rebellious side has made her more desirable and more talked about. It's just another part of a fashion statement.  Really does anyone care?.....her cocaine addiction got her far more publicity than this.  All the models smoke anyway to stay super slim!

 

God, apparently as a prank, devised two sexes and called them "opposite." The sex war has raged for 5,000 years. But surely it’s time we called a truce... starting with men negotiating their terms of surrender.

Great day today having Kathy Lette doing a talk. She was awarded an Honary Degree two years ago at Solent University as did Jo brand. To be honest I hadn't heard of her before, but she's such a talented writer/ novelist.  Some of her books  to look out for:

• To love honour and betray (till divorce us do part)
• How to kill your husband (and other handy household hints)
• Dead Sexy 
• Puberty Blues
• Altar Ego 
• Men - A User's Guide 

She came today to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of international Women's day.  She's a strong, bubbly and humorous character with lots of  "girl power."  Her novels are based on her and her girlfriends over cappuccinos with girlfriends.

A Downfall moment in her career is when she turned down a date with George Clooney....yes George Clooney.  She wrote scripts for a sitcom one of them being "the facts of life" where Clooney happened to play a part in.  He asked her out but she just simply wasn't interested at the time!  When one of her  girlfriends pointed out he was on ER, she screamed at the top of her lungs!!!

Kathy says that the best thing about being a writer is that you get to work in your jammies all day, drink heavily on the job and have affairs and call it research!

She really has made my day today and I have learnt a lot about her.

 

Confessions of a blogger

Lucy Robinson who’s been represented by an actress Claire Wood in the documentary -she is a blogger for Marie Claire.co.uk.  Taking you through a journey of her virtual love story based on her blog, it’s a perfect example for EVERYONE looking for love virtually.

It has been said by C4 that seven million people signed up to online dating in 2010 and there were twelve million dates alone in the U.K.

Her readers are always the first to know about her dating events.  Many who plan a date normally get their hair done or something glamorous along those lines, but Lucy on the other hand gets straight to blogging about experiences.

Online dating is no longer glared upon; it’s become the latest trend to finding love.  Lucy is not new to online dating, so she wants her profile to come across as desirable.  Standing out from the crowd is a must in order to attract that certain man. 

As described by Lucy on how her inbox gets bombarded from men of all walks of life, she says how she finds it difficult to respond to men who write in text language and indicating they want the obvious.  Taking the time and effort to respond to a potential partner is important to bag yourself a date. 

For men its woman heaven, browsing through, exciting and beautiful ladies who want relationships, just at a click of a button. 

Not only that Lucy is aware of all the tricks, heard all the lies and seen all the misleading photos.  “Men lie shamelessly on their dating profiles, mainly about their height and interests - making themselves "look more alluring.” said by an interviewee.

 

Lucy talks openly to her readers and how she stalks her dates, what she goes through after a break-up and how she visits sites where women unite and talk about their recent heartaches.  Dumped.com is renowned to be number one when it comes to lonely hearts on the web. The expert support and advice helps to move on with your life. lol!

The documentary also features several online dating know-how women, giving an insight of their version of ups and down that adds a laughable side to the world of cyber dating.  It’s definitely a subject that most woman can related to in the 21^st century

Lucy continues to find love; it’s not ‘The Final Countdown’ until she finds her perfect match.

Fashion Frenzy celebrity Galliano sacked after Anti-Semitic comments!

What’s the rant about?

Wow, what a shocker John Galliano fired by Dior just a day before Paris Fashion week.
Mr Galliano can be seen blind drunk at La Perle bar in the trendy Marais district of central Paris. The video was made public on Monday. 

Slur it out
 
The video caught Galliano saying:  "No, but I love Hitler and people like you would be dead today. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be gassed and dead.” This is an absolute disgrace if I do say so myself.  Just another stunt by someone who thinks they can. 

Bad books

Natalie Portman who won award for best actress was about to promote the perfume for Christian Dior.  Overwhelmed with what happened, in her own words she said:  “I am deeply shocked and disgusted by this, in light of this video and as an individual proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Galliano in any way.” 

What should Dior do?

Nothing -  it wasn’t their fault, they're the ones who should be most angered by Galliano for tarnishing the brand.  I still think a sincere apology should be coming from Galliano and not Dior.  If they did, it would make them look responsible for his improper actions.

Who’s taking over?

Rumors have it Riccardo Tisci or creative director of Givenchy will be taking the place of Galliano. Maybe this is what The House of Dior wanted all along; any slip up from Galliano would be an immoral way of getting him out the door. 

The question is did he really mean to say what he did? 

You know the saying “a drunken man’s words, is a sober man’s thoughts.”  Of course he meant it!  His pathetic excuse for an apology didn’t do him any justice at all.  TO THE POINT - it’s just another “superior” wanting a bit of lime light, there’s no better way to boast your celeb factor.  I'm pretty sure it will all blow over in a couple of years like any other attention seeking celeb incident.

Oscars- what's the hype?

Natalie Portman won awkward for best actress for Black Swan and Colin Firth best actor for Kings speech.  These are the leaders of Oscars 2011. The 83rd Academy Award ceremony was held on Sunday 27th Feb in Hollywood.  100 million spent on Champagne for the stars and journalist.  Alot of effort goes into the ceremonies  to represent the extremely skill set actors. 

There were plenty of tearful speeches, not to mentions Firths humorous intro where he says: " My deepest thanks to the Academy, I'm afraid I'll have to warn you I'm experiencing stirring from the upper abdominal area that are threatening to form themselves in to dance moves."

The highlight for me and many others is the red carpet.  Gwyneth Paltrow says: "It's a bit nerve racking, a lot of people are watching and I just hope I don't mess anything up." Gwyneth Paltrow  choose an awesome metallic, shiny dress by Calvin Klein teamed up with gold pumps by Brain Atwood.  She wore brooch, earring and ring by Louis Vuitton's L'Ame du Voyage jewelry to finish.

Halle Berry looking super gorgeous at 2011 Oscars wearing a nude and crystal encrusted corset - Marchesa gown with organza and silk tulle ruffles. She paired her gown with exquisite silver jewellery and nude makeup.

Aishwarya Rai one of the most beautiful women in world made a stunning appearance in a a bronze
Giorgio Armani Privegown with rows of linear amber sequins and beaded detail at the waist. She paired her gown with Jimmy Choo clutch and glittering jewels.

Ash expresses how she feels about the ceremony "Its been an opportunity to come and see cinema on this part of the world.  I have been looking forward to the experience as I've never attended the Oscars before and very graciously the Academy invited me.  Me and Abhishek were here on a holiday, so we got  this invitation last minute."
