    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    Well as I said, the article gets better but the initial thing that sticks in the mind is that s/he is actually denigrating the calendars, not praising them (which s/he does later on). However, it's nice to be considered one of the more tasteful and beautiful ones on offer! :D Shame my...

    Yes, I got a little goosebumpy when I read that.

    I'm a teeny bit miffed....

    As some of you know, some friends and I, in conjunction with Lush (the cosmetics company) did a nude calendar to raise money for a charity called Changing Faces, which helps people deal with disfigurement. Because of the nature of the charity, we felt it would be wrong to use Photoshop or...

    That would be great - much better than having it shut away somewhere. I'd like to think that the V&A bought it....be nice, eh?

    Absolutely Daisy - couldn't have put it better myself. Let's hope it all goes to the people that need it and not get 'lost' in admin costs etc.

    Bullet bras and 50's dresses?

    A bullet bra will give you the right shape but I very much doubt it will fill the dress out much. You may need to alter it after all...but don't do anything until you've tried it with a BB!

    Agreed. I suppose the person/people that bought it may well have given that amount to a charity anyway - I hope so.

    I have mixed feelings about such matters. There's an awful lot of homeless people out there too. [huh] Still, we don't yet know whether it was an individual that bought it... ETA: I just saw a clip on News 24, showing the dress closing at £410,000 yet the ticker at the bottom of the...

    The auction is now on - wonder when we'll know? I just got this from the Beeb website:

    Aaahh I see - thank you for the info. I don't use a pop up toaster, I use my grill...errr, broiler! That sounds so odd to me - makes me think of boiling food! I think it would be such a huge culture shock for me if I had to live in the States! I just about coped with a week in LA and even...

    RETRO PUNK DECO SWING EMO ROCKABILLY MOD GANGSTER VINTAGE!

    You can put in meta tags if you code the auction yourself, then you can have just about everything in there. It doesn't bother me that sellers use all those terms in their listing title - what does miff me is when it is a blatant lie. I saw a listing for a black sweater once, which turned out...
