<br />
I also think after all the negative publicity surrounding the atrocious behaviour of Galliano, in that awful video, it is great to see that something pretty associated with Dior again and such a stylish film too.<br />
<br />
I am not judging by any means, I wouldn't dream of it, the phrase "People who live in glass houses" comes to mind, but it does amuse me how well Kate has come back from her "Cocaine incident" taking drugs and swinging, is obviously considered a better role model for young people than a racist. <br />
<br />
.... LOL I am such a blonde.. she is perfect for this product.<br />
Fucking hell teaches me to post when I am in blonde mode .. That should give you a giggle anyhow<br />

"Now this has made a difference"</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am going to share with you three products that are my current favourite's </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
Beginning with "The Coco Beau Big Fat, Firm Foundation Brush" it is just amazing, I am fairly sceptical when it comes to make up and beauty products and tools that promise the earth, but my favourite makeup guru Donna Artz, is usually a very reliable source and as she sends to England from the USA for this, I thought I would give this one a go.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The is the perfect foundation brush, enabling anyone to create the impression of flawless skin, that also looks natural. Never before have I been able to achieve such a natural look, I am not usually a huge fan of foundation, on my face, I always feel it looks a little mask like and have always preferred a more natural look. Luckily I have been blessed with good skin and can get away with just a little moisturiser. Yet, I do love that flawless look that others seemed to achieve. Well, now thanks to this brush, that look is within my capabilities. The texture is amazing and it is so easy and comfortable to use, it is not however cheap at £29.75, yet I think worth every penny, the company is also a delight to deal with. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">The first thing that you will strike you about this brush is its generous size. The brush measures 150 mm (5.9") in total length, with the brush head 35 mm (1.4") long, 33 mm (1.3") wide, and 15 mm (0.6") thick at its widest point. This is approximately twice as thick as the average foundation brush</span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Having long curly hair, I am always looking for a wonder drug... </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Freudian slip there sorry.. I meant to say product. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I want something to make it appear what it is not, straight, glossy and swishy .. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Nope still not found anything, expect of course, extreme heat and silicone's. Neither of which are great for the long term health of your hair. The latest product that I have tried however, I am very impressed with. It also works well when sprayed into dry hair, then scrunched in, leaving soft waves, "non frizzy" soft waves too. I have tried the whole range, but I am unfortunately allergic to the shampoo, this however I am fine with.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> It is made up of mainly plant extract's and vegetable oils, so it needs to be shaken before use. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">It is applied after shampooing, on damp hair before blow-drying or before exposure to the sun for its protective properties. Available from Michael John at £28, it is fabulous. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

Its a waterproof liner by Terry, once on, it does not move....</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So easy to apply too, as it is a pen liner, I have used many of these often they are only available in black , yet this comes in a gorgeous "Bamboo Brown", which has a much softer tone to it. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I still like my pencil as I love a natural smudge.. That is if black rock chic eyes can be called natural. What I think I am trying to say is, although I love the kitten flick eyeliner look, of the fifties and sixties "Mad Men" and screen star style, which is so easily achieved using this pen. I do not think it is for me. What I like is that I can use the two together, achieving a long lasting eye. This is available from SpaceNK at £24.50</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

Spiritually we are of a similar mould, we both are mother's of two boys and share a love of Spain and flamenco. We have written to each other, exchanged gifts and phone calls, yet we have never met. The only reason is purely geographical, she lives in New York and I live in Wales, without the internet we would not know each other and yet our friendship is now longer than ten years, longer and closer than a lot of my terrestrial acquaintances. My friend is a dancer, a very talented dancer she specialises in Flamenco, she also makes her own costumes and commissions some for others too. It was when I was looking through her portfolio that I realised that the shirt that I had in my mind and had been searching for, was very similar to one of her own designs. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So using the wonderful fabric shop <a href="http://keepingupwithmrsjones.blogspot.com/2010/09/berwick-st-cloth-shop.html">The Berwick Street Cloth Shop</a> which came highly recommended by Fee Doran" Mrs Jones " I purchased some fabric. Shopping with them was a wonderful experience, I rang them and asked them to send me a selection of swatches of heavy silk to make a flamenco shirt in shades of orange and red. The next day they were here, 12 strips of fabric, all labelled and priced, different weights and stunning shades.. I was totally spoilt for choice. Once the decision was made, I was able to place the order over the phone and they sent it via courier, directly to my friend who was living in Sevilla last summer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">I have to say it is the most wonderful shirt that I own, probably as it is made to measure, and each little detail is wonderful. Like the little self covered buttons and the depth of the neckline, we were able to discuss everything little detail as to how I wanted it to fit ..I think it is perfect. I wore it with my J Brand waxed Agness jeans and some sparkly black Pedro Garcia shoes at Christmas.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

</div>I always say that I am not a "Bag girl"<br />
I am more a connoisseur of shoes and jeans..<br />
I have never really had a thing for an "it" bag, for me it has to be functional and suit my everyday needs, like my satchel pictured above.<br />
Yet who am I kidding, I may not be an expensive bag fan but, I do have a passion for a vintage evening purse. It all started with my mothers collection that she had inherited from her older sister. There was a particular velvet clutch, with intricate metallic embroidery, that I adored, I still do..<br />
<br />

</div>I came across this little beauty in the local junk shop, as I was buying a few things, he threw it in for free. The detail on these bags is absolutely fantastic, all hand stitched with metallic thread. I have not as yet met anyone with the same purse either.<br />

I have actually been neglecting a lot of things of late. I seem to be in a place that is far removed from where I should be.. but that is another story.<br />
<br />
I am being and extremely good Absolut addict .. as in, I am not drinking it. During the last three weeks, I have been extremely good restricting my intake to Sunday's only .. and then only a couple..as we all know what happens if I drink too much on a Sunday....<a href="http://rubyssecrets.blogspot.com/2011/01/oh-fuck.html">Oh Fuck!</a><br />
<br />
Yet I this week has been rather stressful, underpinning the building ..mud everywhere...and a thousand other excuses. I have not been sleeping well etc, so I decided to have a drink on Friday evening, I began to look forward to it....<br />
Thursday, I rushed to school to collect my son, planning on buying a bottle. To my annoyance I found when I arrived, that in my haste I had forgotten my purse. Frustrating but never mind, Sainsbury's were delivering the next day.<br />
Friday morning the delivery arrives minus the Vodka !!<br />
<br />
So this was my day yesterday in pictures....<br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">It is definitely a day for lighting the fire and watching a movie, or as Manchester United are playing Wolves this afternoon, it will be the match. I know I promised a vintage post and I will get around to doing that. I just wanted to show you the height of the river running past the house today.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">It is a fabulous sight, although quite scary.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">For those of you who have told me in the past, that they don't have sound, I am showing a tunnel that goes under the road, it is about five feet in diameter and during my sons ninth birthday party, he was nearly killed in it.. </div><div><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Being totally football crazy, he entered the river, after his new football had been kicked in, it was probably as flooded as this!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I did not see what happened but about ten little boys came screaming into my kitchen " George J, has gone through the tunnel and is clinging to a tree on the other side of the road" </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I could not believe what I was hearing we ran out and sure enough there he was one hand on the tree, the other holding his new football tight to his chest. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">He was rescued by his dad... </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Became a legend to his friends..."He was prepared to risk his life for a Football"</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

Especially for LilyThe post that I had planned for today, was to be about my love of vintage handbags ... that is now on hold, something for you to look forward to. Instead today's post is dedicated to a lovely Egyptian friend of mine from New York, this lovely lady has been a faithful follower of my blogs since I first began. As she worked in the high end of the fashion world, I had always thought that it was my sense of style, wish lists and fashion posts that she enjoyed...<br />
But apparently not ..<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">After meeting up she informed me, that the posts she loved the most were my chicken posts...</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">So this morning when I was walking the dogs feeding the hens, I took my camera along, so that I could make a little movie for her..</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div>Fucking hell Lily we were lucky, as I walked up the steps my new baby hens came to meet me... I had forgotten to lock them away last night, and Mr Fox missed them. There is one about at the moment too, I think my hat has scared him away for the moment, I will have to get the big guns out and wear the coat today... Just so he thinks that its silver fox territory.<br />
<br />
Anyhow enough of this madness, I know you are going through a tough time, with everything that is happening in Cairo at the moment, so this blog is especially for you, I hope it makes you smile xx<br />

I ordered this Silver Fox and Beaver hat from Russia...just before Christmas, because, to my annoyance, my husband kept stealing my rabbit hat, as it was so warm and the weather up here was bitter.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I also just adore Fox.......It is just so ... "Foxy"<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A couple of days ago, I pulled out my lovely red sweater and wore it underneath my favourite ever vintage find from Ebay. I bough this coat years ago and I mean years ago.. probably thirteen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I think it cost me £30, it is a 1960's fake leopard coat, my husband called it my "Moth-eaten Bet Lynch rag" at the time, but now loves it. I did have to hang it on the washing line and "Fabreeze" it at first, it just had a stale smoke smell to it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sadly the coat now has a large rip above the pocket, this happened because I was declaring one evening, during dinner out with friends, that I would love to be "ravished" sometime. So, taking me by surprise, the minute we exited the taxi on our arrival home, my husband grabbed me. I still had my hands in the pockets, he then pretended to ravish me in the bush, for the amusement of our dinner companions. I ended up almost upside down, hands still fixed ... coat ripped</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It has seen me through many a funeral, as grave sides can be bitterly cold, I always wear it over a black dress or suit, 'a la Patsy Stone'.. I try desperately hard, not to fall into the grave as she did. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I feel as though part of my lovely dad is with me when I wear it, when we took his ashes to Llandudno pier to "Set him free", just like on many a comedy sketch, a great deal of him blew back at us. Apart from us all ingesting part of him, my coat must have some remnants trapped in its fur.<br />

</div>They say, that there will come a time in every woman's life, where she must make a decision. She must choose between her face or her behind, "little tush" or arse, the name just depends on where you come from. This is a choice not to be taken lightly, as it is a very difficult one.. and no I do not think you can have both. You can be fit and strong and maybe carrying a little extra padding, than say you did in your twenties. You cannot however, in my opinion, keep your face and remain model thin..<br />
So I have chosen the face...<br />
<br />
This may just prove to be my downfall, as when asked for his ambitions for 2011, my husband replied "A lean, fit and sinewy wife"...<br />
Not that I am even remotely chubby, I do not think anyone under a UK12 (US8) can be considered over weight, I am a perfect size 10.<br />
Of course, I have to say perfect...<br />
I used to be a lot thinner and a lot fitter, I have given up on the dieting part, as I said I have chosen to keep my face, but I need to get back into the gym ..<br />
Otherwise his ambition will go unfulfilled, although I do keep reminding him that I am a far more comfortable shag.. without sharp corners.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-U_wtmG4Yak/TTbZfEKDVsI/AAAAAAAAACY/W0fR_gMJwEk/s1600/allison_stokke-350.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-U_wtmG4Yak/TTbZfEKDVsI/AAAAAAAAACY/W0fR_gMJwEk/s400/allison_stokke-350.jpg" width="237" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>..</i>. I wonder what side she will choose in the future?</div><br />
The alternative, as in him finding a younger, leaner and sinewy partner, I can assure you would prove far too expensive and plus I do love to be fitter. Not only am I stronger and more co-ordinated, but I feel a damn sight sexier too. Clothing wise too there will be no need to replace any favourites, as I never really vary in size, just in how I fill it.<br />
Facially, I am a Botox devotee and will continue to stretch and freeze those muscles until I am frozen in the ground myself. Not only is it cosmetically beneficial, it is also wonderful for migraine sufferers. <br />

</div>Why not use everything that is available to you, both men and women. There was a huge uproar about Gordon Ramsay and his hair £30000 hair transplant, but I cannot understand why. I find men with, or without hair equally attractive, as I think sex appeal is something that oozes from within. I also do understand, that if you are appearing on television and constantly having your photograph taken, a full head of hair does make you appear younger. So as long as he can afford to do it along with his fillers and Botox, I say "Go for it Gordon"<br />

The trainer responsible for Madonna's physique,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> looking wonderful herself</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Now there are the exceptions to the rule, the beautiful people of Hollywood and the rich list sector, that have all the worlds leading plastic surgeons at their finger tips...<br />
Such as Madonna, she has not really had to choose. Her body, in my opinion is a work of art.. a very selfish work of art, as one can only imagine the hours that she must spend keeping it so. We read many an article about the trainer who is responsible for this, but really it has to be Madonna herself, who dedicates the hours for training.<br />
I am using Madonna as an example as I am closer to her age than either of the two beauties above, and anyone who has reached their mid to late forties will know that around about the age of 46 it all starts becoming a lot harder to look good and everything feels as though it is falling apart.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-U_wtmG4Yak/TTbdmF5FLVI/AAAAAAAAACk/VYzNBkA8XME/s1600/madonna-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-U_wtmG4Yak/TTbdmF5FLVI/AAAAAAAAACk/VYzNBkA8XME/s400/madonna-1.jpg" width="250" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So we have the amazing Madonna look</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Personally I do not find this as offensive as some, I think it is a brilliant piece of paparzzi work, where she is tensing her arms. Anyone with low body fat levels has a vein issue, you also get it in your hands and feet as you mature, shall we say rather than age..</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What fascinates me, and is rarely commented on compared to her body fat, is the amount of work she has very successfully had done. We can all critisise and say that she has the money and opportunity to have a great plastic surgeon, but it is still a huge gamble as to how you will turn out..</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="goog_697545730"></span><span id="goog_697545731"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I think Madonna has had two lifts, by the way I am no expert, just a keen observer of ageing women so that I can learn from them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> This would have been around the time of Confessions on a Dance floor album, she suddenly appeared on our screens with a new fresher look and dramatic weight loss.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Personally this is where I think she looks best, apart from the hair colour being softer, she just looks fresher, rather than having a "done" look.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here I think she may have had a second lift, just before her 50th birthday, as that was when we all started to see a huge difference in her face, maybe its just her cheeks but I think she has also had work done to her eyes....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">May I please just repeat, these are all only my own observations and opinions.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So we are back to the beginning...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Face or Fanny? Our American compatriots would say..</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I still think face, but I am going to work on the body, I will keep you informed as to how I get along. I have been in the gym once since September due to chronic injuries, and this was last Sunday. So far, apart from being unable to even squat on the loo properly, for the past two days, as my muscles were seizing up so badly from shock, I am feeling almost ready to start session two. My main problem, which affects all results is my addiction for Absolut .. I am trying to restrict its intake to weekends only...Hic</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://pennydreadfulvintage.blogspot.com/"></a>There is something so special about a lovely little vintage find... </div></div><div style="text-align: left;">The other day, whilst I was catching up on my blog reading I saw that there had been a gathering of the blogosphere, a vintage tea party over at Penny's place <a href="http://pennydreadfulvintage.blogspot.com/2010/11/vintage-tea-party-pictures.html">Vintage Tea Party Pictures</a> . It was so frustrating to see all these lovely clothes being tried on by all the girls and not being able to join in (spoilt pout)...I then realised that Penny has a website.</div><div style="text-align: left;">These things take me a while to notice I am afraid, I am blonde and have a slight satellite delay, on the old, alcohol damaged brain.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I popped over and saw this darling little sweater, which looks fabulous on Penny here. Being one of my favourite colours and styles I just had to snap it up.. as of Saturday I am now in possession of it.</div><div style="text-align: left;">It looks fabulous on, I love the boat neck line and the elbow length sleeves, the wool feels like a cashmere mix.<br />
Penny we are a similar size I am pleased to say..<br />
So in the future I know if it looks good on you it will fit me. It was also beautifully packaged with a lovely little note, such service... I will be back.<br />

</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">I have found this wonderful jewellery, there is a counter in Selfridges and a shop in Knightsbridge, they have the most amazing pieces, most of them unique. It is nice know that you will not be paying a lot of money, only to find yourself wearing the same as everyone else. The collection features gold and silver, with precious stones and uncut diamonds, so the prices can vary quite considerably. I had to hold onto the counter to steady myself, after asking the price of a bracelet made with uncut diamonds, although it was beautiful...</div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

I know, I am not the most gentle of people, anything delicate is best given to somebody else.. but this was ridiculous, it fell off on the counter and I had just walked away, it then fell off three or four times, whilst I was having lunch.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">So I went back and they exchanged it for a different style of bracelet, one that would not fall off.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
