Way back in 1973, a woman called Nancy Friday wrote a book called My Secret Garden: Women's Sexual Fantasies. It created quite a stir with its revelations about feminine arousal. When I was 13, I found a copy in a bookcase at a relative's house and was ... transfixed ... But this blog post isn't... Continue Reading →
Ooooh, it's a juicy day in La La Land ... but then I'm always a sucker for a good Tom Cruise/Scientology expose ... The Hollywood Reporter has published a fascinating excerpt from a new tell-all book about how Scientology seduced Tom Cruise, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Lawrence Wright.

The Household had a lovely adventure yesterday. We walked across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Husband took the Sprogs to the Anish Kapoor exhibition at the MCA while I went shopping, then we met up for a roti-and-curry lunch and caught a ferry back to our car. Now that's my idea of a perfect family outing.... Continue Reading →
I was 26 years old and I was STOKED. My property porn addiction struck early in life, I'd been scouring suburbs - progressively further from the city's centre as reality set in - for months.

We were first in the queue when the gates opened at 10am and the little one literally dragged the big one to... Continue Reading →
On New Year's Eve, an old bloke in Killara cut his neighbour's finger off with pruning shears during an argument over a hedge. Nothing sets suburbia against each other quite like a hedge dispute. Which is why I held my tongue when my neighbour hired a chainsaw and a ute and massacred his backyard over... Continue Reading →
My mother sailed off on yet another cruise yesterday (bye-bye inheritance). She went with her best friend, Barb, who she's know since she was 12. We held a bon voyage barbie at my sister's house in their honour. The haloumi and chorizo salad was awesome. As we sipped Oyster Bay sparkling, Mum advised her friend... Continue Reading →
I'm still playing catch-up after a gossip-free Christmas, so here's something old, something new and something blue to spice up your Friday ... Jerry Seinfeld has told the The New York Times Magazine his children (Sascha, 12, Julian, 9, and Shepherd, 7) aren't spoiled. Despite him having a fortune of $800million, the kids are down to earth.
