Hair Today…

Decisions, decisions – whether tis nobler to stick with current Hairdresser despite huge expense (given that Rider is certainly worth it), or whether to risk a new and cheaper one.  Whether to colour the same or have a change? Whether to style the same or change? These are the great questions women  ask themselves from [...]

I’ve Matured

Retired…. Have you retired? Are you keeping busy in your retirement? Rider has been musing on the word and it seems to have more negative overtones than positive ones and a new word is needed.  After much brain bashing Rider has decided to launch ‘matured’.  As in: I’ve matured now…. It’s terrific reaching your maturity…. [...]

Here’s to you Mrs Robinson

Iris Robinson, now 60 (was 58 at the time in question) N.I. politician/married to a fellow politician/grown up children, staunch rightwing Christian.  Kirk McC? now 21 (then 19ish) son of friend, good looking. Put the two together and what did you get – oh Mrs Robinson!  It seems she may have given Kirky some money [...]

Birthdays Hair and Advent Calendars

My birthday – my age totals 10 but I shall not reveal which two numbers make up that figure. Paid a fortune to have my hair cut and coloured but then so does Victoria Beckham and I’m certainly worth it.  The magazines entertain with their photos of airbrushed beauties, clothes which couldn’t be worn whilst [...]

LeedsFest

Me and my friend have decided to take advantage of the special tickets we can get for next year cause our village is close to the action – didn’t realise you could come and go so we can sleep at home.   We’re going to dig out the 60s stuff – my gorgeous fur and her [...]

Reunion

My friend from New York has sent several photos he took on his nostalgia trip.  OMG how the years have shown up – better to preserve the illusion of memory that you are the same on the outside as on the inside.  Next time you see some old fart, remember they’re probably no more than 30 in [...]

Old Friend

40 years ago to the month an old friend jetted off to Hong Kong, married, moved to New York. Now he’s back for a reunion with Folk Group members, old friends … and me.  We’ve exchanged a few emails and photos – flattering ones on my part naturally – tomorrow he’ll see the pre-airbrushed version.  [...]

Boys Toys

Him indoors has changed his Focus – OMG we’ve become one of those older couples you see flaunting their (modest in our case) wealth/return to wilder days before it’s too late/who gives flying f–k syndrome. Piggynap set him off with her Mazda MX5 so now he’s got one – older and not as OTT gorgeous [...]

Hair

Amy at West Row Wetherby gave me a funky hairdo   Saving for facelift now.

Hairstyles

Love Mickey Rourke’s Kabuki hair; probably for Iron Man film he’s making.  Battered face, brutal body, loads of ‘tats’ but the man got style.  Pity he attends crazy stuff like a show promoting specs! and is seen with what look like f..k bunnies on his arm – with his new hair I can forgive him! My ideal [...]
