London Lady at Leisure

  As I am planning not travelling as much this year around the world just for fun and no frolics.
I think I should at least explorer London a little more.
Its not like I am far from most of the attractions at all by the London underground (The Tube) 
I have said I should do so in the past… and recently spent quite some time in the V& A and the Tate’s, but after all I live here in a great city and tourists see more sights than I make an effort to. I think I need to make a better effort.
Now… I have already been to a few places already on the London Tourist list, like the London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Tate Modern, British Museum, Natural History Museum (many moons ago) the V&A and many more places that are not on the main london tourist list below… but not all.

One of London attractions websites Top 10
1. London eye ( observation Ferris wheel with a great view)
2. Tower of London (Home of the crown jewels),
3. Buckingham Palace (Where our Queen sometimes lives)
4. Trafalgar Square (outside of the National Gallery)
5. Tate Modern (Huge modern art museum)
6. Museum of London (A museum about London ...what else)
7. British Museum (Stuff we borrowed when the British Empire was globetrotting)
8. Natural History Museum (Home of Dino’s and other old things we dug up or made)
9. Houses of parliament (Full of old fossils..sorry that’s the museum above )
10. V&A aka the Victoria and Albert Museum (Full of lots of odd and new stuff)

But I have found another London Site with an extended list of places I think I need to check out, like Amora
The academy of sex (even I didn’t know we had one of those! doesnt say much about who ever was/is doing their marketing and advertiseing! )
...Think I better check it out when I get back to London and report back ..all for the sake of blogging of course..wink.

Hello 08!

Well happy new year to one and all..!
I am going to fly the white flag of travel truce this year for the sake of my sanity and carbon foot print.
I am trying not to make any other new year’s resolutions other than only to have four trips away this new year.(yes that’s 4 return flights smarty pants out there)
*Things I have learned while in the USA over the festivities:
People use the 80’s word ‘Dude’ far too much in the Rockys.
Americans have coffee percolators rather than a electric kettle so ts hard to make a decent pot of tea.
Traffic drives a lot slower than in the Uk even on the highway with bigger roads.
Hummer the cars don’t look so big when in context to USA transport than you would think they would.
With the rate of the economy going downhill rapidly here I am glad I live in the Uk… but shopping over here despite the bad lingerie choice is amazing (Ok I kind of knew that one but even since I was here last its better).
Americans call Prawns… Shrimps!... even if they are actually Prawns and not a Shrimp.
I don’t like living out of a suitcase, moving around for more than three weeks at a time.
And lastly I don’t like boarding, driving or even walking in a white out snow storm.

Lets just hope this year doesn’t go as fast as the last, have a fruitful new year everyone. Eleanor x

Bubblegum bombshells!..

...I wish I had an assistant like HARV..Been up to reading Blue hair Bombshell fifth in the series of Mr Zakour’s sic-fi books and most appropriate it is too here in Vail… as it is cold enough out there to turn not only my hair blue, but other parts too!... now my snowboard boot battery’s have both died on me.
  Hence Miss Aston here is curled up by the fire, not brave enough to do battle on the slopes… but having a good read and getting totally lost in a world were Incognito is a fairy realm (abit like my blog world island of Incommunicardo then..no one can get hold of me when I am there either)

  The poor hapless detective, the last independent one on earth standing or daft enough to stand if you ask, me from what gets thrown his way…Ok if you don’t count the apt named Dick Co agency, who are all as the name suggests. Mr Johnson (his home is where he hangs his @)...  especially as his office is destroyed again and has to work from home ...is battling once again with his sanity, shared with his brain wired assistant HARV and now has a new side arms kick in the form of GUS a wonder thinking gun. In another die hard attempt to save the planet once again from its near on year cycle destructions from the goons and freak baddies who know no better. Windows will never cease!
  Randy the uber geek scientist, gadget boy builder extraordinaire ..  is still on top form (in my mind he looks abit like Shawn White ummm) In fantasy world… if I had to be a character ...If I couldn’t be Q’s lab assistant bond girl.. then I think Randy’s lab assistant bomb girl,Ohh yes that would have to be it!

Gates be with you..will be back same blog time, same blog channel.

..Think someone’s put something strange in my eggnog…don’t worry normal world blogging will commence shortly….this blog will self destruct in 5 seconds.

lots of Ho’s

Enjoying my time away (If you have only just tuned in I am…well look up, yes there at the top of my blog..go check my Calendar page that is what it’s there for after all..he he)
Just realized I am not as fit as I would like to be up a mountain, yes its cold up here and just to remind me how cold, my right left boot toe warming battery has died on me.
Now I have cold foot..better than cold feet I suppose.
Serves me right for being a smug ass snow boarder eh.
Yes both my boots and gloves are battery heated, I am a girl you didn’t think I would be up here in the cold snow and ice and not bitching about it, if I wasn’t all warm.
I like my pleasures to be comfortable and easy, after all is the main reason I don’t ski anymore as it is…
 
Back to the festivities as I keep getting reminded with Christmas tunes being played at me in car parks, naughty sarcastic E-cards and some playing on forums making up naughty Christmas carols..
..found this and made me titter.
-The origin of tree-topping tinsel tits-
One Christmas a long time ago Santa Claus had
problems. Four of his elves were sick so
Santa got behind schedule. Then Mrs Claus
told Santa that her Mum was coming to visit;
this stressed Santa even more. He went to see
his reindeer and found that three of them
were about to give birth. More stress. Then
when he began to load the sleigh he dropped
the toy bag and scattered the toys.
Santa went into the house for a shot of whisky
but the elves had drunk him dry.
Just then the doorbell rang and Santa cussed
on his way to the door. There was a little
angel with a big Christmas tree. “Merry Christmas
Santa”, said the angel, “Isn’t it a lovely
day? I have a beautiful tree for you.
Where would you like me to stick it?”
Thus began the tradition of the angel on
top of the Christmas tree.

Because it tickled my fancy blatantly Nicked off Pop Bitch

Golden girl carbon boot print

Diamonds are forever ..la la lalalalala la…
Watching old 007 Mr Bond’s in Las Vegas about chases through old Las Vegas.
  I have been noticing the change that has gone on in the past years here, in the new sparkly clean multi towering hotels and casinos…
Back on the TV.. Bond is saying…

‘ I tend to notice things like that whether a lady is a blond or brunette.
‘Which do you prefer?‘ says the brunette who was a blond earlier
‘Well as long as the colour and cuffs match I don’t mind…‘
Tiffany Case walks back in to the room ...now as a redhead.
‘I don’t care much for red heads, terrible temper..although on you it rather suits’
(and then he spends the rest of the movie with the redhead in his bed! Ha ha..)

He meets Miss Plenty O’Tool at a craps table and she goes back to his room as it looks like she’s a casino call girl picking up clients in return for chips..(but she doesn’t have a handbag with her? what’s that all about a woman without a handbag? where would she put her hanky in that outfit if she didnt have one??)

Later James says to a rat when traped in a big water pipe…
‘One of us smells like a tarts handkerchief…I am afraid its me, sorry about that old boy’
(what does a tarts handkerchief smell like I would like to know?.. Sniffs her handkerchief..do all tarts hanky’s smell of Cartier like mine does then?)

  I really don’t know why I am watching a movie I have seen many times before when there is a city of other entertainment out there. Ok I have had far too much coffee for my own good and not in the most sensible of all minds, so best I don’t go near a casino till it wears off or there goes my lift ticket pass money for snowboarding over the Christmas.

  Why do American hotel rooms only have coffee and percolators, so you can’t have a decent cup of tea?
Having weaned myself off the evil coffee.
I now find I have consumed four cups today and now back on the coffee wagon in utter contempt for myself.
  Will try and wean myself off with hot chocolate while on the slopes in Vail next week (hark me sounding all glam and international!)

  Been re-thinking my travel recently, spent far too much time globe trotting this year 10 flights in a year is not good for one person and her carbon foot print..better make that a boot print.(thanks to the chaps that bought and planted me some trees x)

  I recycle and walk where I can, I think I should pledge next year to only 4 flights aboard..I can do better, one trip every three months is enough for sightseeing for anyone. I plan on being a very good green girl next year, I do…I really do and this time I will stick to it. So sorry gents I plan on hardly touring next year. I have an inkling that I might go to Egypt on holiday as 2 lady’s said they would like to go too with me just for a holiday (if any other lady’s want to come too? Please get in touch, more the merrier..hiring four camels has got to easier than the odd three)
  I have always wanted to go and see the pyramids, but not on my own as Egypt is no somewhere I would go as a single gal. I still have a few places on my personal places before I die list to see.
  The so called new list of modern accent wonders is on mine too, listed on the net as being:
The Great wall of China, Petra, Christ the redeemer, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, Colosseum, Taj Mahal (and the Great Pyramid is an Honorary Candidate)
  Frankly don’t think the big Christ statue is quite as impressive as the Pyramids will be, or any of the others on the list.
...It certainly wasn’t as impressive as the Great Wall of the two on the list I have been too so far, not even up there with the forbidden city or terracotta army which are not on the list which I in my opinion are far more impressive than a concrete decaying religious idol statue on a mountain top.
So Egypt is on my list for next year and if I am a really good girl.. maybe one of the others.
  Will be difficult to keep me grounded as a friend bought me 40 places to go before you die and there are some places I never thought of..only been to 10 in there so far..
Oh dear I fear I may be a green girl on the turn…autumn anyone..would that then truly make me a golden girl?

Cowboys, Seamen..whats a girl to do?

46 hours later in Las Vegas…err I think (its 8 hours behind here so morning here is early eve in London..thats comfused everyone..especialy the poor people that called me and as I forgot to turn off my phone wondered why I was sounding grumpy at 3am)(and yes things are spelt wrong I have jet lag from hell..or death vally which ever is worse.. and this dam little 11’‘ new laptop is not helping my spelling efforts please excuse x)
Why did no one tell me it was Rodeo week out here?
You could have warned me staying in a rustic type theam hotel migh have its hitches..there are cowboys everywere.
I kid you not its like a western in my hotel, hats,boots and even one with spurs earlier, the whole cowboy look and they even have trailors with horses in the car park!
And yes I am in Las Vegas!...I am sure I am…yes they even stamped my passport with a Las Vegas stamp.
I cant go out without being winked or wistled at.
They are everywhere.

Its not like I am at my best after a long horrible flight, sitting next to a guy that had bad flu and a lady that really was so big she realy needed two seats…so have put it down to the lack of women around National Rodeo time.

Saying that the last two gents that have actualy tried to chat me up where someting to do with the sea..
One a longshore sea man when I was in a shop and one in the Navy that was at the airport when I arrived.
I am baffled I am here in the Desert and being acosted by seamen..I know ha ha what should I expect..
But what is it about me attracting sailors at the moment?
A couple tryied to catch me and said hello as they docked in London a few weeks back, when they got in to port in London after some training excercise, now its happening over here…do I smell of salt or something..its that seaweed I am trailing around on my shoes isnt it?

I dont know if its not sailors, its now cowboys… whats next ..I would not be suprised if the cast of a Village people review show poped up at this rate and flirted with me..
If I see an indian I am telling you now ...I am running for cover.
This is just too strange, I couldnt have planed this if I tried…
Saying that thats why I like Las Vegas anything is possible and nothing is the same as when you last came.

Off and away to play!

Well I am off, off and away now….
I am in the USA in Las Vegas and then off to the mountains snowboarding till January.
Hope you all get what you fancy over Christmas and all the festivities!
See you all back in merry England in the New year, Eleanor x

Teasing Toys

Did I mention I actually got my stocking clad legs to Erotica this year?
I haven’t been since 2004 and this time it was busier and still had the same old stuff but at least the toys have improved. Looks like if you want some well made joy toys you need to look for them made in Germany they surprise surprise do some good engineering with good design. The Swiss do some fine workmanship and well worth the money. The British ones are very inventive but can be a bit home made tacky. T he USA do big, bright and porn star bold (big surprise) and for anything made in China?...well you can just guess what I would say about them cant you..
Bought three toys :
One Monkey spanker..looks like a paddle with a hole in the end and a rubber seal around the internal rim and a vib cell in the handle that just gives you a vibrating hand more than any other thrill and after some use no one seams very impressed would give it 2/10 for novelty and good labelling
One Vibe Butt plug shaped item…not yet had a taker to test on so not sure how good it works, but I would say looks like a good 8/10 with the waterproofness, strong vibe and good shape.
And lastly one curvy small hand held Vibrator, very sleek S shape, sculptural in white and black that has a fancy docking station that it sits in and recharges all by its self..how geeky gadgetry is that.
That was a fun week it couldn’t last could it..now this one in comparison with wet weather… I should have guessed it would all go tits up at some point and not in a good way I have to add. Haven’t got time to get my disc with the new shoot I did for December in time before I leave now, so looks like my promised new pictures are not going to make it. I sorry people you might have to wait till new year for new pictures..might even do some while I am away if I am lucky and don’t lose my camera in baggage claim..or with my luck recently will probably have issues with my new dinky travel laptop
I should have guessed that all this running and dashing about recently I would get my knickers in a twist. I haven’t even packed yet and as I am away to the US for a month I better get cracking only 12hours till I fly…or I will end up on the slopes in just my bikini that is always packed in one of the pockets of my suite case at this rate (...along with a spare wash bag set, first aid kit, an umbrella, pair of gloves and a spare set of lingerie)
