The death of bum floss!


This is the best news I've heard in a while. Research shows that women are finally shunning the g-string. Personally I've never been a fan. They are uncomfortable, unhygienic (think about it...) and only for the benefit of straight men. The demise of the thong started when they became associated with strippers, chavs and the like. I have to admit I was forced to wear one with a white gypsy skirt (remember that trend?) a few years ago and after two hours excused myself from lunch, took it off and went commando. This is completely out of character for me but such was the level of discomfort. Even Twin Set and Pearls chose to go without when wearing a rather sheer dress to a high profile magazine launch, shock horror!
I was sorting out my undie drawer recently and found I have dozens of g-strings and I've only worn each pair once or twice. Why? Because they look so cute and sexy in La Senza that you forget why you don't wear them and think "ooh, I must have it" No more! Celebrate Women's Day by binning the bum floss!

Kate Moss has been my style icon since I was 12 and here she is on her 1st and
(below) 30th Vogue UK cover. Despite the coke scandal and her notorious hard-partying I thinks at 36 she looks better with age and more comfortable in her skin. There is hope for us all...

Summer Special


Love the simplicity of this ad although I think Minis are totally overpriced and overrated. Why drive something everyone else has? Give me something original.

Clever


This ad works because EVERYONE can relate. Like the time I got home at 5am and there was a blackout in my apartment block and I had to take the stairs, got to the 3rd floor and realised I'd left my house keys in the car. Managed to retrieve keys but on the way back up the stairs lost my balance, fell back down stairs and the entire contents of my bag (including keys) went in every direction in the pitch dark. Luckily my screams woke a kindly neighbour ( thank you Harvey) who helped me gather up my things and helped me limp to my front door. Lesson learnt: be nice to your neighbours. You never know when you'll have a flat tyre (thanks AGAIN Harvey), a burst geyser or a maniacal vandal who takes a screwdriver to your vehicle (wow, WHO did I piss off?)

Cute!


I don't usually like ads with babies because it's the oldest trick in the book (e.g. the Evian break-dancing babies ad)but this is sweet and obviously aimed at mom's or broody girls like me.

Nice


1st rule of advertising - keep it simple.
