When I think of Jean Harlow, I always think of her like this… so when I saw that my lovely internet chum Samantha of Musings of a Classic Film Addict was co-hosting a Jean Harlow Blogathon I thought to myself, I’m going to spend a whole day in bed wearing a sequined negligee, eating chocolates...
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 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...
“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...

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

“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...
“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...
