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 [...]

I Used To Be A Pomegranate*, Now I’m A Caravaggio

I find it hard to believe that anyone has ever looked at their body and thought, “Yup, I resemble a pear”. If your body type does not fall into the traditional fruit bowl, (big up the mangoes!) worry no more. Australian bra firm Triumph is campaigning for a total rehaul of the ‘fruit as women’s [...]

Cokes and Fantas

Last week, someone retweeted some ridiculousness into my Twitter feed. No need for me to set it up, take a look at the nonsense: THIS CAN’T BE LIFE.

The Friday Pretty: A Year In Hotness

My friends, my comrades, my Army of Pervs! It’s the last The Friday Pretty of the year 2010. We’ve been through it all this year, haven’t we?

The Friday Pretty: Fragrance Ad Guys

Yeah, you read that title right, bishes. Thanks to the lovely Shabana who suggested this over on the Yoruba Girl Dancing Facebook page (which you should totes ‘Like’ if you’re on FB). Uh huh, for The Friday Pretty this week, we’re suckling at the teat of the evil corporate menace. And we’re doing it quite [...]

More Wishing, More Hoping

Given the pleasing success of the first gift wishlist I posted last week, and the fact that we’re now less than 3 weeks from Christmas Day, I thought I’d post some more options for you all. This one’s more of a mixed bag, but they’re all things I’ve seen, liked and coveted for myself. Chances [...]

The Friday Pretty: Sleazebags

A few weeks ago, I put out a call for themes for future Friday Prettys. You responded in your hundreds! Okay, seven people responded – but between them, they produced about 40 different possible themes. So in other words, I can confirm that The Friday Pretty will live a long, smooth, innuendo-filled life. You’re welcome. [...]

The Friday Pretty: Scorpios

For one week only, the most important day of the week isn’t Friday. I know. I know how shocking that must seem for Friday Pretty aficionados like your good selves. But! It’s my birthday tomorrow – I’m 28, bishes! I’m very much a multi-tasker, so I didn’t have to look far to find a unifying theme for [...]

The Friday Pretty: SATC Dudes

It’s Friday, children! And on Fridays, I help you indulge in a little light perving, courtesy of The Friday Pretty. Earlier this week, I was (un)lucky enough to catch the risibly bad movie Buying The Cow on late night telly. I should’ve scarpered upon noticing Jerry O’Connell was in the cast list, but I stuck [...]

The Friday Pretty: Hipsters

A short one for you all today, soz. Like last week, I struggled for a theme. But then an article about hating hipsters made me think; in the middle of all this loose hate, surely there must be some hipsters we like? Personally, though I mock mercilessly, I’m all for hipsters. They’re having fun with [...]
