Hey kids! How’s your Friday going? It’s been a hell of a week, huh? Monday was Halloween, and I heard that the trick or treat pickings were slim this year – this recession makes fools of us all! Monday also brought the tragic news of Kim Kardashian’s divorce – another blow for the sanctitiy of [...]

The Friday Pretty: Sci-Fi/Cult Dudes
*SIGH* Look. I could spend this entire post apologising for the quietness on the blog these past few weeks. Or I could just say it once and mean it and get on with the show. I’M SORRY. I have been battling a combination of extreme busyness (in work and life in general), my insomnia has [...]
The Friday Pretty: ‘Justin Time’ Edition
TFP‘s favourite French word – after charcuterie – is Vendredi. You know why? It means Friday i.e. the official start of ‘Le Weekend’ as well as the designated day for perving. Let’s not be coy – Friday is when TFP comes alive. Hopefully, today’s selection will perk you up too. Strap in, lovelies, for it’s [...]
The Friday Pretty: The ‘Did The Earth Move For You Too?’ Edition
Sweet lord, it’s Friday. Finally, Friday! DID YOU HEAR ME? IT’S FRIDAY! Hope you’re all good, fully recovered from last week’s extravaganza (which, by the way, has claimed the title for the most-viewed The Friday Pretty post Of. All. Time. You dirty perving buggers.) Today’s TFP title is inspired by the earthquake that hit the [...]
The Friday Pretty: All Black Everything
*Rebecca Black voice* FRIDAY, FRIDAY, GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDAY… Don’t act surprised – TFP will take Fridays any way it can. How are you all doing? Hope the week’s been smooth sailing for you. TFP had a good week: an offer of work – woot! – a catch up with friends and even time [...]
The Friday Pretty: Crushes of the Week
Happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen! Can you believe it’s August? Soon, the days will shorten, and we will usher in autumn. Although, bearing in mind the mild summer we’ve had here in the UK (this past week notwithstanding), things shouldn’t be so different. Still, let’s heat things up with a new edition of The Friday [...]
The Friday Pretty: Pretty Boys of the Week
FRIDAY KLAXON. Alright. A lot happened this week, news-wise. But it will do us no good to rehash the bad news here, so I won’t, cherubs. I will say that it was also the week in which one of my dearest friends got married (CONGRATS, S!), so there was some light at the end of [...]
The Friday Pretty: Murdochalypse Edition
It’s Friday, bishes! D’you like what I did with today’s title? No? WELL, I WAS TRYING TO BE TOPICAL, DAMMIT. Unless you’ve been living under a rock with no HDTV enabled, you’ll have been glued to your telly/wireless radio/t’internet connection, riveted by the unfolding select committee hearings at the House of Commons. Remember? Rupert Murdoch [...]
The Big Chop
In January this year, I cut off most of my hair. I’d been relaxing it pretty constantly since I was 14 [I had a mild punk phase and shaved it off. Let's just say that particular haircut caused my mother to say scornfully, "You look like a boy. An ugly boy" and leave it at [...]
Who You Callin’ Nappy?
Well this is embarrassing. I am the blogger who cried wolf: “I’m taking a blogging break, everybody! Yup, two months!” I said. “No, I can’t stay – I NEED A BREAK.” And then I returned, and not even a full week has passed. But don’t worry – this is only a small relapse into the [...]
The Friday Pretty: Crushes of the Week
Hello, fellow Beauty Appreciators! I hope you’re all well – eating delicious meals, wearing gorgeous apparel and lounging about in life-giving sunshine at the start of this, the second four-day weekend of the year – thanks, Will and Kate! Incidentally, that will be the sole reference to the royal wedding on this here site; consider [...]
The Friday Pretty: Good Friday Edition
Hola, children! How’s life? If you’re in London, you’ll have been enjoying the fabulous weather – I myself wandered out of the house bare legged the other day, revealing my hairy legs to the world for only the second time this year. BTW, I spun this particular act of forgetfulness as a feminist protest: if [...]
The Friday Pretty: 300th Post Edition
Yeah, you know what this is – it’s a celebration, bitches!* That’s right – in addition to today being April Fool’s Day and Friday i.e. Designated Day of Perving™, it also happens to be YGD’s 300th post! I’m very proud and incredibly grateful that you’re here, reading and commenting and being awesome confidence crutches. As [...]
The Friday Pretty: Crushes of the Week
How do you all feel about a little call and response? Good? Okay, here goes: When I say ‘FRI!’ you say ‘DAY!’ – FRI-DAY! FRI-DAY! FRI-DAY! Got that Friday feeling? Excited by the prospect of having a large one in town tonight? Yes? Good for you. For those still awaiting that glorious balloon-like feeling to [...]
The Friday Pretty : Animated Characters
You cannot imagine how apologetic I am that I have not posted a Friday Pretty for so long. I have had messages on Facebook, on Twitter and even on BBM – and I get it. You guys love The Friday Pretty and you hate to see it go AWOL. Me too, and so I urge [...]
