Now for something different…

...in my gallery...not my average stocking shoot and not even any of them in sight!
As a shoot for someone that has gone unused, I thought it useful for my October Gallery.
All dark and moody not really me I know, but hey it is a jungle out there at the moment, Christmas shopping is not done lightly is it , a war zone of wrapping paper and glitter and it is not even jolly December yet.
Why is life getting in my way at the moment?
I have been missing phone calls while on and off the tube, while dashing around town ...so I do apologize to everyone that hasn’t been able to get hold of me in the last few days.
I have been lost in a concrete jungle that has no reception!

Caught out!

How frustrating life has been interrupting my frolics lately,(Sorry to poor chap I had to cancel on ) I don’t know… I don’t mind helping friends out but why must I be the only first aider people know that has a car and can drive them to the doctor?
Ahh some people have noticed the new wallpaper in my down load gallery..
I wondered how long that would take you..!
I must get around to doing some more at some point, but as it is I didn’t do a gallery for October and it doesn’t look like I will have time even for the November one.
So looks like I will have to make it up to you with a big Christmas bang shoot…
...if I am lucky can do some new wallpapers too before I am off to the USA early December for more snow time fun!

Two sides of the same coin?

Just been watching TV..
as you do when slobing out on a day off…
..not that you can believe everything on the small screen or large…
Just watched a program on there about the prenuptial contracts of the rich and famous.

It really struck me that marriage for powerful and high earning couples that have clauses, with things like 1-2 million for every year to the less powerful spouse..
... if they stay married/have kids /don’t cheat/don’t do drugs ect looked basically… very much looks like it is a more legal way of being paid for their time and companionship?

So got me to thinking is marriage these days (especially the Hollywood and .com rich) is starting to look very much paying a companion for their time...or am I missing something here?

And there was me thinking my 1.2M exclusive year of time was slightly over the top (yes £’s...you can get up off the floor now from the shock. but I am willing to consider jewellery or property..ha ha)
Back to the point ...when it looks like splitting assets, all the mess and trouble with lawyers, stress and the drama, a dam sight more than that in some cases as well as the cost…
I am surprised the affluent gent or lady looking for companionship doesn’t hire someone, but bothers getting married at all.

..........But then wouldn’t that put gold diggers and money grabbing mistresses out of a job?
..or failing that all those lawyers?

Fancy a change from the old ball and chain?

I don’t seem to be able to escape the criminal element recently..
Ok so I don’t really count going to see Chicago at the Cambridge theatre as a criminal element or being bad…
Was actually quite good..
(OK and a good excuse to slip in another of my Alcatraz pics here...he he)
I did originally cringe thinking Kelly Osborne cast as Mama Morton as the Prison warden an odd choice, but thought well… it could be interesting?
... and not a lady to miss out on interesting things, in for a penny in for a pound sort of girl that I am...one that will try nearly anything once in life…
I dragged a poor gent to come and see it with me.
Ok I didn’t drag him…
and he didn’t come under dress..
Ooops! yes that should have been ‘Under Duress’...wink

But even though Kelly Osborne (much to my disappointment as I was actually looking forward to seeing if she could pull it off..ooh err) had been replaced with.... Brenda Edwards (she of the X factor fame) for the night… who was very good indeed I must add ...fun was had by all and this plaything of passion is free to frolic again after she escaped the rickshaw madness out side intent on not letting any of us out of the theatre unless we where peddled away by them in to the night..and a probable collision with a *Double Decker!

*Double Decker = Big Red London Bus… (...not some sordid SoHo sex act, you smutty people out there..yes I mean you.. )
