Why are you dating my Face-Twin?

heyheyhayleys

This week I seek to question: Why do people date other people who look like their ex? So, some smart ass is going to tell me: Maybe it’s because some people just have a ‘type’? Maybe it’s coincidence? Don’t patronize meeeee sir. I am absolutely, positively convinced there is more to it then what meets the eye. A while back,... Read the rest of this post...

YOU GOT THE POWER: Power Dressing for Ass Kickers

I believe in power dressing. Gaga does it. Batman does it. Ivana Trump does it. If we take power dressing out of the pretentious prick arena of which it is commonly associated, its basic principles can actually have some pretty positive effects on the way we perform and conduct ourselves in our lives. I know this sounds wanky but hear... Read the rest of this post...

The Secret Language of Texting

In an age where text messaging, Whatsapp and instant messenger are replacing the good old fashioned phone call I am finding it increasingly difficult to decipher the cryptic language of the dreaded text message. According to a study at UCLA up to 93% of communication is non-verbal. If this little nugget of trivia is true then I am afraid that... Read the rest of this post...

Carnage

So this week I went into London for an impromptu catch up with my mother. I was looking forward to an exceedingly pleasant, sophisticated rendezvous in one of the world’s most dazzling cities with the woman who gave me the gift of life. However, as I stepped off my commuter train I suddenly realized that I had descended into a... Read the rest of this post...

A Crazy Little Thing Called Love: Valentine Special

To my friends and family who restored my faith in love. This time last year (a few days before the big V day) I was in a state. I had casually ambled into my local Waterstones to be unexpectedly ambushed by Valentine mushville over load. NOOOOOOOOO!  I had been so distracted by the excruciating pain of my own breakup that...

Basic Instinct

So the other day in one of my drama classes we were exploring the chorus of Euripides’ Greek tragedy The Bacchae.   So if you’re not familiar with this delightful play in a nut shell it’s about this gobby King called Pentheus who pisses off the god of wine and ultimately gets torn to pieces by a chorus of highly...

The Day I Met Peter Pan Man

The other week I went to the hairdresser to get a health trim. As you usually do with hairdressers, I proceeded to have a lil chin wag with my stylist who happened to be the salon owner. He was trendy, friendly in his mid-late thirties.  We got chatting about movies, celebrities, the British economy, you know the usual malarkey. He... Read the rest of this post...

Rude Boi (or Girl)

Lets catch some waves…

So the other day I was casually walking towards my house when I saw my ex-housemate across the road from me. As he looked over I gave a little wave. He sorta clocked me but instead of waving back he just blanked me. SOME PEOPLE. Determined not to be ignored I gave another wave. Blanked again. This time I waved... Read the rest of this post...
