the end was just the beginning
I feel a bit like a Father's Day orphan. Everyone is off doing family stuff. I'm all on my lonesome, sitting in front of the computer blogging ... Poor me! Sad face. To pass the time - since it's too blerky to walk up big hills, my usual solution to sad-face situations - I've been... Continue Reading →
Forgive this second blog post of the morning, but today is "Bey Day" and social media has gone cray-cray about it. #beyday has been "trending" on Twitter for hours. There are literally thousands and thousands of messages. This is BIG people. Wondering what the? Vanity Fair sums it up best: "Today is a holy day,... Continue Reading →
Around noon yesterday modern fashion and I parted ways. I was trawling through my Instagram feed when Miley Cyrus' outfit for the MTV Video Music Awards made my eyes go wide. I'm sorry, but that's NOT a frock. It's ... a belt and some rhinestones tenuously sewn together. Even MTV described her as "basically naked."... Continue Reading →
I feel like a bit of a slacker making my second blog post-digital detox a celebrity one. They're not universal crowd pleasers with HouseGoesHome followers, but I can't resist sharing selfies of stars during their unfiltered long weekend moments. You know, that whole once-a-weekly-magazine-editor-always-a-weekly-magazine-editor thing ... The reason for the stars' gay abandon is that it's... Continue Reading →
Hollywood is celebrating Father's Day and it's such a pervy time on Instagram. So many shots of celebrity dads and celebrities with their dads. Here are my favourites ... (as per the new normal, click on one you fancy to open the gallery) ... I have no idea why an image of Ryan Reynolds with... Continue Reading →
I have sooooo many food memories from my childhood ... I'm not sure what that says about me ... some of the most powerful ones are homemade pies on dinner plates at my Nan's, her Gravox-lump-filled curried sausages, her evil caramel and Cool Whip slice, Kentucky Fried Chicken on a Saturday night, fried rice and...

The way they announced it was wrong on so many levels. Tactless. But then, they've never been known for their subtlety. I don't know about you (and it's a terrible thing to say about any pregnancy) but I'm totally unmoved by the news that Kim Kardashian is having her second baby. I can't even bring...

Do you look forward to long weekends? When you're a journalist, they're a bit meh. Journalists - newspaper ones especially - work on public holidays. News waits for no man's getaway, it's just other day in the office. Long weekends are even more meh for me these days because my ex has the kids every Sunday... Continue Reading →
The youngest and I were hoping to finally watch Pitch Perfect last night, but the eldest put the kibosh on it because it's "not suitable." "It's 'm' rated and that's not for violence," she admonished. Oh. OK. Cue pouting from me and the nine-year-old. The 11-year-old is going through a prudish phase, if she sees... Continue Reading →
The "selfie" has been loudly decried at the Cannes Film Festival, which is currently raging in the South of France and crammed with every celebrity and their dog ... (Unlike Queensland, where Johnny Depp took his Yorkshire terriers and discovered they'd be euthanized if he didn't send them home STAT. He reportedly spent $400,000 flying... Continue Reading →
