Valentine’s Day is a weird one. Who actually likes it apart from Americans and eight year old girls? If you’re single, you are reminded of this. A LOT. If you are in a new relationship you are surrounded by the word ‘Love’ which is just awkward. If you are married or in a long term […]
When I was a kid I always said I wanted to have Chinese babies. When quizzed, my reply was not “because they are soooo fricking cute” or “because I have an Asian persuasion”. I wanted Chinese babies because on You’ve Been Framed they always showed Chinese babies doing funny things like falling asleep in their […]
As an alternative to “We want Shakin Stevens but will accept Wham”, here is my Hip Hop Christmas playlist… 1. Run DMC: Christmas in Hollis Top of my list every year. Everything you could ask for in a Christmas song. I think it should be given carol status so it can be blasted out in […]
This list is for girls who ride bikes. Not motorbikes. Real bikes. Bicycles. She’s the girl who arrives places with her right trouser leg tucked into her sock and helmet marks on her head. She probably saves loads of money through not needing an Oyster card or gym membership so will definitely get you something […]

Originally a quick five minute radio clip on Christmas day way back in 1927 Children in Need is now a firm fixture of our childhood memories.

This is how Halloween goes for me: I spend an afternoon stuck indoors battling with a glue gun, cutting out cat ears, sticking them to a headband and stuffing a pop sock to make into a tail. Then I go to a party and am confronted by girls in sexy, skin tight velour fur trimmed cat […]
London is the setting of many a Gothic horror from Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde to accounts of Jack the Ripper. The scariest story I have ever heard happened far more recently in 2008 on Halloween night. On a dark, dark night a group of girls were getting ready to go to a Halloween party. […]
So this one time I had an interview at Disney’s London HQ. It was going really well. They asked me what my favorite Disney film was and I replied, ‘Mary Poppins, obvs’. I then went on to explain that it was because I had recently been traveling and was amused by people trying to mimic […]
Ahhh, London Fashion Week has been and gone for another season, but these are the shows that made us moist… Amy // PPQ Loads of great stuff at LFW this year, and while you can’t deny the drama of all-out fashion week glamour at Giles or Felicity Brown my fave show by a country mile […]
