My future book

*

One of the things to do before I die (see my list HERE) is to publish a book - ever since I was about 14 I have been in some phase or another of book writing.

I have my cover perfectly planned out - bright pink with black velvet/lace trim and diamantes. A silhouette of a lady in a cocktail glass and stillettos holding a cocktail and a crescent moon in the distance with a bra hanging off it's tip.

The name of my book? Cocktails & Orgies.

One night over cocktails - Tee and AC were laughing about a story I was telling about one or other failure of a date, and they said I should write a book.
I had always thought about fiction, but the things I have learnt in my dating life (oh the stories I should tell you - What not to do after having sex when living with a housemate, the "short"falls of internet and speed dating, The horny goggles & how they make you see men differently, Why you shouldnt let a man vomit on you after he has been drinking) would fill an entire book - and I wouldnt really have to think - it would all be true!

So this is how the name of my blog came about - not quite my book, but a start nonetheless.

* How cute is the pic - Tee sent it to me with a very sweet congratulatory message

Hot. Stunning. Gorgeous

Remember When - Ralph Macchio

aka: Daniel-san

Look how grown up he is?

Ralph Macchio was actually in his early 20's when he played Daniel LaRusso in the Karate Kid series.

He was born in November 1961 and is still married (1987) and has 2 children (Son named Daniel san) 

For those of you who watch Ugly Betty - you might recognise him as Archie Rodriguez, a local politician, with a semi-regular role as Hilda's love interest on the show.

I really feel old!

Let's be their Voice

The annual slaughter of Canada's harp seals is the largest massacre of marine mammals on Earth. Each year, tens of thousands of gentle harp seals are shot or bludgeoned to death. Most of them are slaughtered before they are 3 months old, and many are killed in front of other terrified seals.

Similarly gruesome scenes take place everywhere animals are slaughtered for their skin. On Chinese fur farms, dogs, cats, rabbits, and other animals are ripped from their filthy, cramped cages and beaten with pipes and fists before being skinned alive. These hellish farms make up the largest source of fur imported into the U.S.

In Australia, lambs are pinned into metal braces as skin and flesh is cut from their backsides with gardening shears, leaving bloody, open wounds that often become infested with maggots. Their wool is sold all around the world, and in their final days, they are sent to poorly regulated slaughterhouses in the Middle East and Africa.

We cannot allow these animals to continue to suffer so terribly and die so badly for people's vanity.

Through the dedication of PETA's more than 2 million members and supporters, people like you, we are winning the fight against fur. The international market for seal fur is disappearing, and polls show that a majority of Canadians want this abomination to end. PETA has mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to speak out against the horrors of the Chinese fur trade. The Chinese government has responded to this growing international pressure by introducing draft legislation for the country's first-ever animal protection law.




Through our groundbreaking undercover investigations and eye-opening campaigns, we've convinced a growing number of designers and retailers not to use or sell fur—and have persuaded millions of consumers not to buy it. And at the very end of the year, President Obama signed the Truth in Fur Labeling Act, which ensures that people will no longer be sold "faux fur" that actually came from a living, feeling animal.

Make no mistake about it—this cruel industry is dying. In 2011, we can move closer to the day when no animal is caged and killed for "fashion." But we can't keep up the fight without your support.

Join PETA today!! This has to stop - what type of people do this - and type of people are we who let this happen?
