Girlie Stuff
Fighting Fat at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre
In a society where we want it all and we want it now, gradual weight loss, healthy eating and exercise is tedious and time consuming. When I rock home from work at nine in the evening I stuff my exhausted face with more sugar than a piñata at a fat American children’s party.
I have never [...]
London Fashion Week Royal Panties
You’ve gotta hand it to Betty Jackson. She’s got chutzpah for sticking King Henry VIII’s mug on the crotch of her catwalk model’s hotpants. This act of impudence pretty much sums up the attitude reflected in the veteran Fashion Weeker’s show on Tuesday: flamboyant, colourful, unconventional, fun.
Modernist Kicks Fashion Week’s Ass

He launched into his performance from the front [...]

Green is the colour of the season at London Fashion Week (of the eco variety, not the envy kind). As the au courant crowd jostled into the entrance of LFW’s Design Exhibition for its final day on Wednesday, “eco-fashion” was the word on everyone’s lips. Yes, the sunglass-clad über-tanned clan really do care about more [...]
Mayfair Massage for the Body and Soul
Once synonymous with seedy sex, massage parlours are moving into a new realm. The parlour of the Noughties is a spiritual haven of relaxation and serenity, as I’ve discovered at The Innes Lounge.
In the heart of the West End’s urban sprawl is a cluster of chic shops, quaint pubs and expensive restaurants all huddled together [...]
