Memories are meant to be treasured, so if you can even admit to having worn a bright yellow/pink/green shell suit, thought yourself cool by shouting "By the power of grey skull, I have the power" at top of your lungs in the school playground, or that you even proudly sang along to Vanilla Ice while waiting in anticipation and gossiping with friends about his movie debut then you are truly a brave person. As for me I am pleading the 5th and on that note i bid you Au reviour!

When men become my plaything

I must admit something, some people collect stamps, others collect shoes (something that I do too) and then there is the woman, who like myself, collect admirers.


It is only recently that I have come to realise that I have a collection of men who I like to keep on tap. So whenever the need arises in me, I am not talking about sex (mind and gutter people), oh no, I shamefully keep them around for a good old fashioned ego boost. I know, I know its bad, but I cannot help myself.


It is just that sometimes I get bored and when I am bored I like to call them for a good chin wag (which means a great conversation my non-british friends) with my admirers, and when I have had my fill I say goodbye and never bother with them until next time- sigh- terrible I know! It is just that, they are men I dated but I could not have a relationship with because the spark was missing, which leaves the men in limbo with me- they are not quite friends and yet they are not relationship material.


You might think that the men might get tired of our flimsy excuse for a friendship but they do not. They seem to happily allow me to pick them up when i want them, and just as quickly set them down when i am done.


So on that note, all i can say is "dance my puppets, dance".

Ugly and Rich VS Goodlooking and Poor

A good friend of mine recently accused me for always hooking up with very good looking but dirt poor men. It made me wonder, do I really go for the pennyless goodlooking men? Well I must admit that the last two guys I dated weren't exactly rolling in it (one even lived with his mother -blush) but boy where they goodlooking, so maybe she is onto something here.

In my 20's i dated bankers and lawyers who blew their noses onto 100 dollar bills. Now it seems that in my 30's I am surrounding myself with men who might be easy on the eye but could probably only afford to buy you a McDonalds on the saver menu. Why is that? Poor goodlooking men are usually the kind of men one would date in their 20's because money and security is of little importance, but i seem to be doing it in reverse.

I do wonder though whether I could date an ugly rich person, probably not. Lord knows i do have sweet tooth for eye candy, so poor he might be but at least he will make great arm candy, for now anyway or until i stumble upon that rare rich and goodlooking. Then again i think i am more likely to win the lottery which could then help fund mine and my poor goodlooking guy's lifestyle-mmm food for thought, best go buy a lotto ticket for tomorrows draw!

LSGS goes MIA....all because of hair!!!

Hellooooooooo are you all still out there?.... I know that it has been a while. I am soooooo sorry but I have been having a hair moment (slightly more important then a romance moment).

You see a few weeks ago I got my hair cut. My hair when straightened graced the bottom of my neck. I decided a while ago that i wanted my hair cut, the style Rhianna had circa 2006. I printed out a photo and took it to what i thought was a reputable hair salon- I had no idea that when i sat in the hairdressers chair that I had just signed my beautiful hairs death warrant.

Anywho to continue, i showed the rather scary hairdresser (that should have been my first warning) my photo of Rhianna, she nodded and silently began. Taking a quick glance at her own hair which she had very little off (second warning) I decided to let her work her so called magic. After all the treatments blah blah blah , she got to the point where she started to cut my hair, i watched her closely. About 15 mins into the cut I noticed that there seemed to be a lot more hair on the floor then my head. I told her that i thought she was cutting way too much off, and her response was (in a strong jamaican accent) "I know what I am doing man".

Two hours and a half later from when she first started she had completed the look, and when i glanced in the mirror i thought "OMG where has my hair gone". The woman had given me a hairstyle that i never asked for. Something that was wayyyy too dramatic for me. I was in total shock.

As i walked out of the salon, i thought to myself "what the hell have i done". I could not believe i paid a crazy Edward Scissor hands wannabe to butcher my hair. When i got home i broke down. I cried 'poor me' tears like those girls off Americas Next Top Model until my eyes where swollen. My mother tried to calm me, but nothing could soothe me so i took an asprin and went to bed early, something i had not done in a long time.

I know that it is only hair and that it will grow, but damn it I feel so unfeminine. My friends have told me that it is cute. But boy do i sometimes look at my self and think why me? So now I am trying to look on the bright side. Trying to find a way of styling it so i do not feel so butch. New earrings maybe. Yes with my short hair, i might have to be all about the earrings. One friend suggested that i adorn sexy heels all the time so i can look more feminine.

Anywho lovelies, I hope that you are well. On the man front, my new hairstyle is pulling in the youngsters. I am constantly chatted up by boys who have barely been weened off their mothers breast. It is like the young 18-21 year old boys feel that I, a 31 year old woman, look young enough to be asked out by them. Mmmmmm maybe this hairstyle is going to bring out the cougar in me, well it sure beats bringing out the butch side!
