Just back from a wonderful weekend in Stroud with Gary C and chums. Two days of belly dancing, eating a vast amount of delicious food and consuming a vast amounts of red wine and fruity cocktails. Fabulous! Just wanted to write a quick blog entry before the site goes offline for a few days. It’s [...]
Jean Harlow’s Celery a la Shrimp
by admin on 12. Feb, 2010 in Jean Harlow
Jean looks a bit like how I feel at the moment – a bit haggared… I’ve had a shocking cold all week and will be going on date 4 with the New Yorker sporting a cold sore as big as Texas. Shame. I will try and orchestrate it so that he sits on my left [...]
Jean Harlow’s Celery A La Shrimp

“I like to wake up each morning feeling a new man.” Ha ha, me too Jean, me too! For the first time in living memory however, I have woken up on the first day of a New Year totally on my lonesome. Not too hungover to make myself laugh by saying out loud immediately upon [...]

“No one ever expects a great lay to pay all the bills.” A feeling of great joy today after a lovely evening with the E17 posse. They came round armed with gallons of fizzy wine in an attempt to make a dent in the Cassis left in the number 43 cocktail cabinet via the medium [...]

I’m thrilled that the lovely Matthew over at movietone-news.com has done [...]

“Jean Harlow is in the back room, where Sylvia is giving her a spanking she’ll remember – to judge by the howls.” So begins Sylvia of Hollywood’s 1931 expose “Hollywood Undressed”, I knew I was in for a big treat as soon as I opened the cover and saw the original owner’s stamp. “The Circulating [...]
Jean Harlow’s Celery a la Shrimp

“She didn’t want to be famous. She wanted to be happy.” So said Clark Gable… Poor Jean – only 26 when she died. Lots of people were madly in love with her – including William Powell it is rumoured. We liked her crispy shrimpy celery. We had a “taste test” involving stuffed celery to Jean’s [...]
Jean Harlow’s Hot Rolls
by admin on 15. Mar, 2007 in Jean Harlow
“No one ever expects a great lay to pay all the bills.” Ha ha! How true. Ears must be burning both in Brixton and in Iraq today. We have given our imaginary boyfriends a right old going over in between lunch at Harpoon Hannah’s Tiki bar and a session at SEA NEEDLES. Will Ruth and [...]
