  • Up Front: No Smoke,

    Mad Men never makes me feel like having a cigarette. Or a drink. It does make me want to buy clothes.

    Oh, it does me. It makes me want to wear fitted dresses and drink martinis and smoke at my desk.

    But I can honestly say i've never done any of those things because I saw them on TV.

    Taking the smoking out of mad men, or off the Rita Angus portrait, would just remove those things from their time. And as Lucy says, makes us forget things that things have changed.

    And also, if people aren't allowed to smoke in movies, how will we ever know who the bad guy is? Black clothing and heavily-applied eyeliner only go so far.

    (of course, I really want a cigarette now. Shame it is too wet in Wellington to a) go get some or b) stand outside for 5 minutes.)

    Oh Emma, do you really want to start that? Surely, my views on Crocs are well known, and shared by most right-thinking individuals?

  • Up Front: Eat Up Your Brothelly,

    Oh, but Jackie, as Emma said over on twitter on the weekend, don't you know, you were just brainwashed by the patriarchy.

    Women don't want meaningless sex. We want puppies and rainbows and chocolate and poetry. To think otherwise is to not be a real woman.

  • Up Front: Eat Up Your Brothelly,

    I love to watch drunk dimwits on the brilliant Jersey Shore, but I think I draw the line at watching someone sell their soul. Yes, I have an old-fashioned perspective on sex-for-money. I support its legality because I think it is safer for sex workers, but that doesn't mean I don't think those workers wouldn't be better off in a different line of work.

    Yeah, but you're not judging, right Ms Black?

    I will be needing a good blowing out of cobwebs.

    Oh, honey, I can guarantee that. And hugs, as Giovanni says.

    Is it bad that I've just (with my very limited knowledge of Auckland) checked on Google Maps that my hotel is within stumbling distance of the venue? (it is.)

    Danielle, I am too scared to start talking about anything much, because, like, I have work to do.

    I mean, what I could say about the dress I am wearing _today_ would fill a page.

    I don't think my red boots could be described as CFM, but they have, like all great items of clothing, a transformative effect.

    They make me strut.

    Because I love them, and they make me feel good about myself, wearing them makes me walk taller, and smile wider. I have a couple of dresses that do the same thing.

    Seriously, the red boots that I bought from Duo a couple of years ago are on my list of favourite items of clothing.

    Does that mean I'm finally going to meet you AND tell Emily Perkins and Dylan Horrocks they're wonderful? Must lay in extra supplies of mattress-sized squee pads...

    I can't speak for Emily and Dylan, but yes, you will get to meet me in real life. The Smut Tour begins. :)
