Apartment 58
Apartment 58 OK so my friend invited me to this champagne event at a new private members club and suddenly I remembered that I had always wanted to join one. I just haven’t found the right one for me. I’m not fussy (read as I’m fussy) but at the same time I’m not corporate enough […]
14 black romantic films for Valentine part 2
14 Black romantic films for Valentines part 2 I’m back with the 2nd part of the 14 black romantic films for Valentine. I have to precursor this with the following – There will be no Spike Lee. I’ve just never taken to his style of film making. He’s a legend but I don’t recall romance. […]
14 black romantic films part 1
I’ve already started checking my post for a card weighted envelope in red or pink. Sadly it hasn’t arrived and as I begin to suspect this is will be yet another year of fruitless Valentines for me I figure there is nothing for it but to get the girls together and have a DVD night […]
The resolutions
The resolutions Every year I made the same 3 resolutions: lose weight, get into a meaningful relationship and buy lots of heels. I know my precious, there was little sign of any weight loss and there had been a few dates but none that were worthy of a permanent toothbrush. I bought myself a pair […]
The Lashes Date
The Lashes Date So the Monday morning after a hectic weekend of socialising and networking I get a text message: [Hey Buddy how’s it going?] BUDDY!?! I asked who it was and he asked if I didn’t remember our passionate kiss at the bar on Friday? Hmmm, I put my thinking cap on, searched through […]
The beautiful game
African cup of Nations is here and I can’t deny that there is something special about watching 22 (red cards permitting) men kicking a ball around. But football fans are their own breed. I’ve never dated anyone who wasn’t a footie fan and I’m cautious of men who don’t like football. That probably means that […]
Mr. Twitter
Mr. Twitter I’m not one to be particular impressed by those who claim to be a fan of the blog. Now with social media being the accessible tool of our generation it’s easy to meet new people and form attachments. But in this life of interaction it’s rare to find someone you really connect to. […]
The new spa experience
The new spa experience Generally January is a crappy social month. Everyone is broke, cold and miserable. We are all feeling a little sorry for ourselves. I just looked at my bank statements. Make that VERY sorry for ourselves. So imagine my joy when I heard about a new type of spa experience which would […]
Christmas party anyone?
Christmas is a joyous time and some of you who have the benefits of office Christmas parties can have more joy than others. Oh I can’t complain as for most of the year I’m in my Pjs eating leftovers whilst you do the commuter shuffle and smell people’s armpits on the way to work. But […]
The Help
There are books that I will never read. ‘The Help’ is one of them. Not only because nothing about it appeals to me but more because I too have memories of domestic helpfulness. The guy, Fish Fingers, had me at his chat up line in a bar. “Alright Gorgeous! Fancy coming back to my place […]
