Celebrities is there anything they can?t (or won?t) do
2008-01-21 13:02:00
From fragrances and clothing lines celebrities are hardly shy to market their tastes and styles on the dubious public. And now they have started to turn their hand to lingerie in a big way. The latest to turn their attention to this mixture of the subtle and the explicit is the far from shy-and-retiring Pamela Anderson. Best known for her Baywatch day, (and an internet video of, er, dubious moral fibre?) she wants to create a line of lingerie that, ?I love to wear and my friends love to wear.? Even more interestingly she has contemplated making a television... read more about celebrities

Granny Pants Put Out The Fire
2008-01-04 11:01:00
Great as lingerie is there are something things it?s not suitable for. Putting out kitchen fires is probably one of those things. Instead you need large, unflattering and cheap ?granny pants.? Which luckily for one woman is exactly what she had when her kitchen caught fire!

It is also ?international sanitation year? which worries me a lot...read more about United Nations Year of the Potato and 2008

Romantic Rome ? Top 10 Tips
2007-12-27 10:55:00
Fancy a Roman Holiday? Here?s what not to miss! 1) Give the horse-drawn carriages a miss. They may look romantic, but Roman traffic is anything but. Instead, choose to explore by foot. 2) The flower market on Campo de? Fiori is colourful and exuberant. Down a double-espresso and immerse yourself in the blooms. 3) Does your beloved really love you? To find out, wander through the Jewish quarter toward Teatro di Marcello till you find Bocca della Verita, ?the Mouth of Truth?. This is a legendary lie-detector for paranoid lovers. Put your hand into the scary statue?s mouth and swear your love. If you don?t really mean it, your hand will be bitten off. (Allegedly.) 4) Trattoria San...Read more about Romantic Rome
