No. 1: How to break in a leather jacket.
Thanks to the ladies over at 'WhoWhatWear', I discovered the remedy to one of life's toughest problems. Here's the life changer; wear your leather jacket out in a light shower of rain. Stick with me; the leather will soften and thus give that desired 'worn in' look. Living in Wales, there's certainly no shortage of 'light showers' - in fact we'd probably love more light showers and less torrential rain! - but with that comes a leather jacket that can practically stand up alone, a permanent bend at the elbow and pretty much a cast of my upper body.
No. 2: The name game.
Ryan Gosling is an anomaly to me, he's not handsome in the stereotypical way - but then again who wants to be stereotypical anyway?! With his boyish charm and slanted smile there's definitely something about him, not sure what 'it' is, maybe it's got something to do with 'The Notebook'… Eva on the other hand is sex appeal incarnate; a vixen of sorts. I wouldn't have put them together but then again matchmaker of the celebrity set isn't on my resume. Anyhow, they've gone and had a baby girl so let's chat names, as in Esmeralda: pretty when I think of the Disney adaptation not so much when I think of Victor Hugo's novel. But then again, let's be honest, next to the names of Gwyneth and Angelina's children she's not doing all that badly.
No. 3: The day she became a Dame
Segueing nicely into the next point of enlightenment I've chosen to bestow upon you all. A certain Angelina - not of the ballerina/rodent variety - was Friday made an honorary dame in recognition of her services to foreign policy and campaign work against war zone sexual violence. Philanthropist, activist and now a nod from the Queen and she's married to Brad Pitt. I don't know if I'm insanely jealous or just exhausted.
No. 4: Two Worlds Collide
In the midst of whispers surrounding a third 'Sex & The City' film; Sarah Jessica Parker visited the infamous stoop of her 'SATC' character's New York home. In a stealth move to promote her 'Carrie' shoes from her eponymous SJP shoe collection, SJP lined up her heeled beauties for the world to see. Her PR team definitely need a pat on the back for that shrewd move.
No. 5: Is a 'Badgal' set to be a Bond girl?
Is Rihanna set to be the new Bond girl? I'm cheating with this one as I haven't so much learnt as fact, just kinda heard it. As a true Bond fan I'm more excited to hear that there's even going to be a new film. Although I am intrigued as to whether 'Bad gal Riri' will actually play a 'baddie'. Watch this space.
No. 6: Here comes Kylie
With Kendall taking over the fashion world, hints at her getting her wings - the acclaimed Victoria's Secret status of an angel that is (wonder what Bruce thinks about those bikinis though), news of her supposedly distancing herself from the circus that is KUWTK and whispers of a separation between her and momager Kris, it's easy to forget the youngest of Jenners, Kylie.
However, as the Eurythmics sang; 'sister's are doin it for themselves', cue Kylie with her new venture into the beauty industry. With a range of extensions, in association with 'Bellami Hair', it really does feel like the Kardashion/Jenner klan are conquering the world four times over.
No. 7: A New Word
Yes in the lifelong quest for knowledge, I like the sponge have discovered a new word and it's all thanks to Daphne Selfe; the 80year old super-est of the supers was described as an, "octogenarian" in a recent article I was pursuing. I figured it probably didn't mean that she had eight arms or legs but I couldn't be sure. After a quick check, I discovered it to mean someone between the ages of 80 and 89. Fascinating.
No. 8: The Bonus
Because I'm ever so generous and I love to impart useless knowledge upon my readers, here's a little extra tidbit. North, of double K power couple origin, has her own tailor who also moonlights as her stylist. Tiny versions of Kim's couture is made to fit her little 16 month toddler, mini-me stylee. At the age when a cardboard box provides just as much fun as a tequila chaser at an underage party, is it really necessary? There are 'Playmobil' toys that North is underage for, let alone crawling around her mother's 7" heels! I must admit that making your FROW debut at the tender age of not even two is pretty impressive, although I can't help but think that it all has something to do with her 'plunging neckline competing parents' media grabbing tendencies than anything else. Ah well, I love the spectacle of it all!
