Gits with Rucksacks

Is it me or do people who insist on walking along a packed street or boarding a crowded train with a bloody great rucksack on their backs, really really wind you up? Dont even get me started on those pull along cases...... Great for holidays but in the street and in tube stations?

Missk,Agent Provocateur & the missing suspender!

Now I like nice things but not always the price so I tend to buy said nice things in the sales (doesn't everyone?!) so a couple of weeks ago when Agent Provocateur had their online sale I treated myself to a couple of bits and bobs. There was a particular set of undoes that I had my eye on for a while so I thought why not. Managed to get the bra right away but had to wait for the matching knickers with attached suspenders but patience is a virtue or so I'm told and I eventually tracked down a pair. All was fine and dandy, box turned up my little treat-ette inside. Got them home and out of said box and guess what? One of the suspenders was missing!!! Was I miffed! Anyways I shot off an e-mail to Agent Provocateur customer service but got nothing, not a sausage. So I took myself off to one of their shops and explained my predicament. The staff are very helpful but they thought the best they could offer was a repair-to make a whole new set of suspenders. Thinking this my only option I said ok. So off I trot home to return the next day with my purchase thinking I would have to wait for them to be 'repaired'. But no readers, when I enter the shop I am informed that they do indeed have a spare suspender at their head office and that they would get it sent to the shop! How good and lucky is that. But is gets better......
whilst I am waiting for the suspender to get to the shop, the customer service people have mailed me a replacement suspender which I'm not aware of and only receive it once I am in possession of the one from the shop. Hows that for service when I had given up all hope! Top marks to AP.

PS Fellas if you are thinking or planning to buy the lady in your life some lingerie, buy something tasteful. Tacky just doesnt cut it!!

People do something with your feet!!!!

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the state of people's nasty feet?! For gawds sake if you must wear sandals please please make sure of the following:

• your feet have been in recent contact with some pumice stone and soap and water. Lovely to see cracked peeling heels engrained with dirt. NOT.
• ladies, it can be seen as sexy to slip your feet out of your shoes but not when you have been wearing flip flops or very flat shoes and your feet are carrying half of the city's dirt and grime on them.
• your toes have been defuzzed - nothing like hairy toes to make me heave.
• your toenails have been cut.
• ladies make sure your shoes fit, dont do the budgie perching thing. You know where your toes hang over the front and look like claws. Not nice and not attractive.
• men please dont wear sandals and socks, you look ridiculous and especially for younger guys a tip- it doesnt do it for the ladies.

And just a little aside if your trainers are getting a bit whiffy, remember if you can smell them so can others. I spent a couple of very unpleasant train journeys home sitting next to men (sorry but it does seem to be just men) with rancid feet.

Right where do I start!

Lets start like a story I suppose, might be the best way.

Once upon a time there was a little girl who didnt have much self confidence and felt ugly and unwanted. Lots of things had happened to this girl which made her confidence levels reach approximately an inch off of the ground at best. So this little girl took into her head after many years to change the way she looked and to always try to look her best. However, certain people (or person as will later be revealed) take it upon themselves to knock this little girl almost on a weekly basis. Maybe readers we can find an answer together.

Ok enough of the story! All of this is based on truth and maybe as my confidence grows I will probably reveal what shaped my early life and made me feel the way I did (sometimes still do). Anyway enough, a bit about me: I always try to make the best of myself and the way I look, try to look glamourous not in a Jordan sort of way but in a kind of Vargus girl/Dita Von Teese way. Doesnt always come off but hey I enjoy trying. But as I said a certain person always manages to make a comment or pass a remark which frankly is uncalled for.

For example (and there will be plenty of others!) Saturday just gone I just popped in to see 'Midge' for a few minutes and she was watching some awful Dynasty film, you know the old eighties series. Well I get a snide comment which went something like ' oh look thats K in a couple of years all dressed up and full make up just to make breakfast and hang the washing out' WHY!!! I was only wearing a simple summer dress and shoes, the only cosmetics I had on was some eye makeup. No need for the catty remark but I as I say thats just for starters and yes it does hurt.

I will get better at this blogging lark and it wont be so confusing promise!!
