Pole-Dancing-Techno-Geek

Finally, we have broadband. It's good - it means instant access to Style.com and endless re-runs of Desperate Housewives, but it's bad in that I have now been forced into embracing technology. Being the most inept person you will ever meet when it comes to anything electrical, it came as a huge surprise to find that I could video call my friends for free via something called Skype, so spent a good hour giggling into my webcam (also news to me) talking to Mr Superstar. Amazing. I also finally started my own blog, which will hopefully help me to remember my remaining twenties - a blur so far, and set up a Twitter account, despite the fact that I am so addicted to Facebook I barely have time to sleep. Nosey Parkers Anonymous.
In other news, my new addiction (other than Twitter, and FB) is pole dancing. Once a week I throw myself around a pole in a bid to improve upper body strength and rid myself of the dreaded bingo wingage before the annual pilgrimmage to the White Isle. I imagined gliding gracefully around the pole, a la Kate Moss in the White Stripes video - the reality is very different.
This week's fashion fix has to be the eagerly anticipated Matthew Williamson for H&M - rumour has it that Sienna has pre-ordered the whole collection, but don't let that put you off - it's set to be the hottest collaboration since demi-Gods Christopher Kane and Marios Schwab shook up Topshop.
This week's foodie fix has to be the news that Leeds' Harvey Nichols is now open for dinner five times a week. I might work there, but that wont stop me taking advantage of the unlimited wine offer they have on. 3-courses and as much wine as you can drink in 90 mins? Sounds like a challenge to me...
