I love her laugh. I’m such a sucker for a wisecracking dame.

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Mr Mort and I share the same taste in women. I wish he’d feature them more often…

I used to love watching The Golden Girls when I lived with my sister. I’d get home from school at the same time as my nephews we’d fling ourselves on the couch to sing along to Thank You For Being a Friend, marvel at the peachy beige interiors and the silky robes worn at the midnight coffee sessions, and giggle at Sophia’s innuendo.

I also really like John Currin.  He was so much on my mind when I went to New York with Nicole that when we sat next to Poppy King in a cafe I thought it was Rachel Feinstein. There you go.

Debi

Having a massive Madge fest now. And I LOVE Debi Mazar. How young? The date says 88. Can this be right??

I’m sorry I don’t love the now you Madonna, because I LOVE the then you…

OK off to flick through Maripolorama in bed.

Madonna takes time out

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

…filming Shanghai Surprise.

This is all I want to look like right now. And I guess with these pics doing the rounds Madonna wouldn’t mind it either. Ouch. No fair.

I am looking for an oversized and chunky navy cotton knit sweater like crazy but to no avail. I also missed on some 80s Cutler and Gross frames on ebay… feels like the gods are conspiring agin it.
