Colour Dysmorphia and the Celebrity Generation!

Image
We all love a celebrity or two, we have our favourite ones and our hated ones... the ones we swoon over, the ones we LOVE to hate, and the ones that we love to emulate! But this whole I want to be Angelina, I want Kim Kardashian hair, make me look like Gisele is getting seriously out of hand! We all know that those glossy magazines sell you pictures that have been heavily edited.... think Kate Winslet looking like an Amazonian Goddess! - even she was apauled!  so what I do not understand is: If we know that these models and celebrities are stretched, slimmed, glossed and what not via photoshop...what makes us think that the same is not being done for the hair? Well the answer is simple - yes it is! - sometimes to ridiculous proportions too - and we are not talking just  about fashion magazines here, the biggest culprit in heavily edited hair are hair adverts - all those D-I-Y colour boxes and incredible shampoos are selling you a lie....no wonder it never looks ...

It is clearly here - Spring is surely springing...and it probably hit you in the face too- it was so sudden.... and (please please please don;t go!).... Londoners though I must admit are a funny bunch.... just a hint of sun and anything above 14 degrees.... and its summer!!!.... Out we go -  drinking in the sun like our life depended on it!,...its so hot.... time for Shorts and Flip Flops!!!.....and then we wonder why everyone at the office is sick the week after!! Talking about Londoners!.... I came across a Blog yesterday - Hannah Gale - offered us ' 24 unexpected things that happen when you move to London ' ....

School nights don’t exist and you’ll find yourself necking 2-4-1 martinis on a Monday night without a care in the world. You’ll only notice that things might not be quite so wonderful when your doctor asks how many units you get through in a wee...

Kylie Minogue: A Hair-volution!

Hello there! - Had a bit of a break from this blog to hit South American shores...and my god was that fun.... You would think now I'm gonna come up with some Latin infused blog, but funnily enough we are going to the very other end of the earth - down under, Australia to be exact - to celebrate their best ambassador after the Kangaroo and the Koala (though the latter is roughly the same size).... Miss Kylie Minogue! Now I'm not a big lover of Reality Tv, but I am a sucker for a talent show, so I already liked The Voice while everyone was slating it, but with the addition of Kylie on the panel, that was just TV that could not be missed (The other unmissable Tv talent show would of course be RuPaul's Drag Race ...but that's a totally different story) So, while everyone keeps going on about the X Factor Judges line-up for 2014, and the possible return of ( yaaawwwwnnnnn.... ) Cheryle Cole,  Ms. Minogue has been stealing the show on The Voice . With over 25 year...

2014!!! - can you even believe that? Christmas went in a flash!...just about 4 weeks ago we were going mental over those Christmas presents - that Xmas Party,  and getting into that dress ...or suit (let's not be sexist here!), drank too much and went through our body weight in food on Xmas Day! Once that was done we drank ourselves silly on the 31st...and BOOOM!! - we find ourselves back at work... in 2014!....How the holy grail did that happen? - where did 2013 go?
