Spooky Cake
Wednesday, 31 October 2012
Well you know I've been fed up today (rankings are spanking) so I thought to turn some of that negative energy of cake demolition into a positive ghoulish gateau... it's not too bad!
Nigella I don't think you have to worry yet!

If this is what happens after excessive tourism, think ahead people. I'm off to Jupiter's moons. Must have been Easy Jets first commercial route then... Have we gone backwards?!

CYPRUS JOINS MY READERS
Tuesday, 30 October 2012
You know how I love to see who's following me ( a little ego rubbing in this sugar low point in the afternoon! I might venture towards that big cake soon) And today's new followers are Cyprus, last week it was Nepal now Cyprus. Hello Cyprians xxx You've always got good beach weather for my books;)
QUOTE FROM BOOK 3
"She’s
slipperier than an eel in a telemarketers oil drum."
Not sure it works but the imagery makes me giggle for some reason, it's a little nonsensical but don't we all get infuriated with the endless phone calls? I know I do, upgrading to what for what and why no thanks. Did you hear about the guy who started charging a telesales company for his time, genius sent them a bill and went to court.
SPACE TOURIST
I would if I could but boy those rankings have to improve... not a great week so far :( I have vowed to not post the rankings until they look rosier and then the positive spams will once more erupt.
Of course my preference would be onboard "the enterprise" with a captain that had mildly pointed ears, in lieu of that must go and do sit-ups if to wear authentic costume!
THE NETHERLANDS
Ooooo You've visited lots of times today, how's it going with the Tulips? I do my best baking with my big strong Dutch Friend;)
USA-HOWDEE ALL :)
Just browsing thru my stats and can see a lot of you still checking in from the USA... bloody well done and thanks for following. Hope you're all safe and cosy xxx We're all thinking of you over here xxx
Skyfall- Biggest Opening Weekend EVER
Got to go and see JB... his posters are surrounding CPH's Metro works at the mo, driving past a giant Bond laying on his side with that gun got me all flustered. Must quickly write hot scene for Book 3 which has equally as glamorous settings!?!? Any of you getting excited for it's release?

Hallo Readers and Fans Stateside,
Take care, keep warm and safe. We're all watching Sandy and hope you stay unaffected (as much as possible) by the super-storm. xxx Don't take unnecessary risks it's not a surfing opportunity! Yes there is a video on Utube?

Swingers Sex Discrimination! Only Denmark Reports such objectiveness
It's one rules for guys and another for girls! That ain't on in CPH! Don't forget this is a country where everyone pay taxes, no one judges on what you get your money for as long as trading standards and equality are respected. So woman get your purses out! Maybe a little bit too liberal for you republicans but you have to admire the organisation, they even have a home page on it's tax laws. Shades of Grey activities are taxable;)

France V Britain - Not Napoleonic War but Food?
This has long been a hot bed of contention, who's food is better? Who's chef's are cooler? Having been in Paris last year and eaten at a famous 'Michelin Chef's' restaurant where I can only describe it as abysmal with a hefty price tag, if I can cook better myself then that's pretty terrible, my dinner companion sent back the main and so did a party of French and American's. Honestly I'd never seen such an exodus of main dishes going back to the kitchen in one go.
( I won't name names in fear of liable, slander or all things nasty launching at me with the momentum of furious frogs leaping;)
So putting this down to bad luck try another highly recommended restaurant, equally as shocking as the first and so pricey, the French are slow to adopt changes to their cuisine, so I took a squirmy delight in reading this article;)
Being English born I feel I'm qualified to comment on this, we were brought up with foods of the world, thank heavens. I think you have more diversity in the UK than anywhere else in the world, literally anything goes. But what's ironic here, the best French Chef's are in the UK already enjoying their culinary freedom, I once had dinner here (not paid for by me!) I hope to go back it was just amazing, wonderful, exquisite and yummmmy. If you want the best of French cuisine go to London!

Maybe the fact that British cuisine was poor (but look at Heston's historical food revivals they're pretty darn hot) maybe that's why as a nation we looked elsewhere for inspiration! Viva la Vindaloo!

But what's ironic here, the best French Chef's are in the UK already enjoying their culinary freedom, I once had dinner here (not paid for by me!) I hope to go back it was just amazing, wonderful, exquisite and yummmmy. If you want the best of French cuisine go to London!

Invitations for Le Gavroche are welcome Monsieur Roux, I can write articles every week for you but of course one must come and taste that tasting menu... BEST Soufflé Suissesse EVER

Maybe the fact that British cuisine was poor (but look at Heston's historical food revivals they're pretty darn hot) maybe that's why as a nation we looked elsewhere for inspiration! Viva la Vindaloo!
USA- Help and Rescue
Even though I got a shocking review you still pummel on with the numbers (HUGE GRATITUDE TO UNCLE SAMMYs), actually the reviewer was rather a nice Lady who had the old (un-proofed copy) so she's updating her version and giving it a second shot, we all deserve second chances... but as women we reserve the right to not fix that as our roof figure. "Limitless quantity" is what we really like otherwise how will we generate our multiplying options, our brains are hard wired to multi-everything!

Tim Burton & Christopher Lee
We all love a bit of Burton's eerily poignant world, but has anyone noticed he looks like a rather lost love child of Christopher Lee. They are quite the podded peas! Hmmm would make sense!

BANKSY v TOPCAT
Sunday, 21 October 2012
Copenhagen is under siege from a new type of Banksy... Has TopCat swapped careers? Send me your pics of the Cats if you see them, they're dotted all over the place;)
Nakedness Outrage!
Finally a bit of art for the Ladies and this happens! For centuries we have had boobs and bottoms galore from Ruben to Picasso and back again. Why are men's bits so offensive compared to Lady bits??? Our world is in contradiction to itself! At best scrotums are amusing and jiggly bits have a tendency to lead us into the giggles - all the while taking them in at every angle behind our ticket stubs! (No pervy puns intended... SOG fans!

Many of you might wonder what I get up to when I'm away from the keyboard, apart from writing I make 3-D conceptual art about Mankind's Struggle, this is my latest pop sculpture exhibiting in New York. Tracey Emin beat your heart out, my setting is clean and rather white - Art as in Fashion goes full circle!
If any of you have action men please donate on, I will make a homage to James Bond, of course in the interest of recycling I'll use this mountain as the Villains HQ or shall we put a spin on Thunderbirds go BAD, EVIL and downright NASTY?!
Interesting Nemesis for Mr Bond... he can always fall for Lady Penelope, get back a bit of retro wooden acting. Can Mr Bond turn "Hiram K. Hackenbacker" intent on galaxy domination back into Brains?
New GLOBAL Twitter Followers- HALLO THERE
Saturday, 20 October 2012
Welcome to my new followers... feel free to comment, laugh, interact and enjoy my tweets. They're mostly light hearted until I get a sardonic bee in my bonnet then all rational/irrational hell breaks loose! A bottle is swiftly cracked open and I pour out my thoughts and fears. Then my frequent fumbles on those tiny keys usually making some typo or pressing 'tweet' prematurely cutting my ranting midway actually redeeming what I was meant to write in the first place.
TANGENTS AND TRAGEDY'S is how I roll!

Can you picture the design competition for the "SCI-FI HAUTE COUTURE AWARDS."
Now I'm in day-dream heaven, what if Karl drew Klingon - Westwood did Westworld - Oscar De La Renta does Odyssey - Valentino on V?
They could really let their imaginations go, I'd love to see Karl talking about atmospheric challenges v aesthetics, waving his knuckle duster hands in the air while Valentino's pooches pee on moon rocks.

Miracle Selling - The Feeding of the 14000
Can you make it to the 20000 mark? That's right we're nearing the 14 thousand but who doesn't like round figures! As in life, art we salute you Marilyn M.
20000... Of course you can that's what makes you the best marketing team a girl could wish for, no Don Drapers apart from a few rogues hiding in the books!
Still hanging on that # 12, seems like my ranking in women's fiction needs a laxative. Send a gift to your girlfriends today (cheaper than a card (inc. postage) and a lot more to read!)
I'm on tender hooks to get into that infamous top 10 xxx

Lindsay Lohan Arrest...ing in Role
I could really see Ms Lohan being cast for one of my book characters, which one would you pick for her.
She has troubles but she can act! We all like a bit of naughty girl;)

Naughty Friday Snippet- Fight the Love- Download now for £ 0.77
I yank my hand free.
‘So you’re up for the round
shoulder trip eh! This time I won’t be so gentle.’
The actor throws back his head and
laughs. It’s an attractive laugh,
deep, strong and
sexy, just like him. God
I’m pathetic.
‘I don’t bite my nails. I keep them short so not to
cause any undue harm to my treasured work
colleagues. Wouldn’t want to scratch
their scrotums now would I?’ I
throw a look at Luke for
support.
‘And very wise too,’ Luke responds swiftly. ‘We all know just how harmful
female nails can
be on the jiggley bits.’
Alex barks out an almighty guffaw. It’s evident he shares the same
juvenile humour as Luke. Might as
well be in the prep room of a public boys school. I glare at them both but it has no visible effect, Sam just
offers me a sympathetic “boys will be boys” shrug of the shoulders.
‘I bet that's the first time a woman has swept you off
your feet,’ Luke sniggers.

Conspiracy In Religion
As you know I'm having one of those days (ref-see earlier posts and keep up people!) So whilst washing bed linen and the likes at 6 am this morning I'm now at that spaced out zone quietly contemplating nonsense that seems to be zapping in and out of my goldfish thoughts every 3 milliseconds. With all the different beliefs and diversity in the world is Religion merely a butchers conspiracy to diffuse it's trade? No offence meant. Oops must go and hunt the aubergines/eggplants to you stateside;) I've captured all the portobello mushrooms as they floated down from the fridge skylight with my trusty courgette sword... be afraid be very afraid. Everyone should have a mushroom umbrella it's so on-trend... I'm a rambling mess today!
CHANEL 5 by BRAD PITT
Two household names that most women aren't adverse to;) I wonder what he'll do for No. 19
... Maybe a dance in Kylie- style hot-pants... maybe more;)
Now that's a commercial that wouldn't get the slightest panning
and would be most probably the most watched on 'YouTube' ever not to mention how many likes FB could get in one hour of airing! (Brad's a bit stilted, get him in the action)
C'mon Chanel give us what we want, you can even make the hot-pants woollen 'haute couture' chequered in style, that way he'll have to take them off, revealing a starry diamond golden thong?
I don't know why "Chanel" don't give me the accessories division, the idea's are rolling off quicker than a merchandisers Disney moment!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGs4CjeJiJQ
BTW Chanel please feel free to contact me, I like bags, shoes, clothes, perfume, make-up...DIAMONDS. If you feel like a David Brent presentation, I'm your girl in the jersey sports jacket with the obligatory 2 strands of long flowing pearls of merchandising wisdom;) Scared? No not the great house of Chanel... surely?!!! I Dare you, I very dare you:))))

A send key that was mistakenly punched and this is the reaction (PMT) in the stock exchange?
Why are the stock markets so sensitive. Analysts are creating fear amongst themselves, do they all sit in a room with blacked out windows winding each other up like jumpy horses. Google still in profit, forecasting is a skill best left to weather centres... low and behold they get it wrong too!
