1. At Easter, why do we give out bunnies and eggs made of chocolate, and not little crucified men made out of chocolate?
2. Am I allowed to buy awesome reading glasses only for the purpose of looking awesome? I mean, they would just have glass in them, not prescription lenses. Is that lame? Is it against the rules? I always thought it probably was, but I was wandering Camden Markets with my Tinkerbell-like friend recently and she had no such qualms. And now she has a magnificent pair of tortoiseshell eighties-style fake glasses. And I don’t. And I’m sad. So sad. Damn my 20-20 vision.
3. I’m taking one last trip around Europe for a couple of weeks at the end of May before I fly home. What’s your favourite European city and what are your top three reasons why I should go there? (Sell it, baby.)
4. How many weird rodeo people does it take to catch a miniature horse?
5. Who do ITV think they’re fooling? I can’t take another exploitative, borderline sanctimonious, nonsense “documentary” about obese toddlers, body hair, teenagers watching porn, polygamous relationships or people getting naked in public (because OMG don’t you know it’s about liberating women and educating teens and feeling good about yourself and being fabulous and doing whatever you want and NOT AT ALL about catering to the lowest common denominator by showing a bunch of exhibitionists getting their tits out on an open-top bus in central London during rush hour?!). Twats.
You can totally have clear glasses. I was thinking about it, but then it turned out I actually *did* need glasses. They rock. Get some.
No one wants to eat Jesus.
Wanna hear all about Erice, a gorgeous tiny medieval mountain town in Sicily that you can only get to via cable car? My favourite place in the whoooooollllllllleeeeee world.
Totally sold on Erice, but Paris in the Spring, can you afford not to?
Oh, ITV are going to be so annoyed at yr comments, how dare you have a brain and use it.
Barcelona- hot sun, beautiful architecture, tapas and a short train ride to Sitges for mucho fun times.
Rome – ahhhh, beautiful Rome. Amazing gelato, breath-taking sights, Sistine Chapel. Toblerone flavour gelato! What more could you want??
I say get the glasses but don’t tell anyone they’re not prescription- who needs to know?
Chocolate crucified men would be discriminatory to non-religious folk who want to binge eat on a public holiday even though it has no relevance to them (like, um, me).
The glasses – do it! You’ll probably wear yours more often than I wear mine, and I have a prescription.
Bruges. Gorgeous (like toytown!) affordable, small enough that you can see everything in a couple of days and not feel like you missed out. Also: chocolate!
ITV – this is why I watch E4 and things that have been downloaded from the US.
The jesus chocolates would also have to be raspberry filled for dramatic effect.
Glasses…hmmm wish your self lucky you don’t have to spend $800+ just so you can see
But you would look totally hot and even more smarter than you are. Did you like that ‘smarter’
hmmm, AMSTERDAM. no reason needed, you know the reason.
Siany: Erice. I am intrigued. I am researching. Also you’re right re: Jeebus, the next logical step would be some kind of ring-pull toy that preaches at you, and nobody wants that.
Al: Paris would be a return visit but first time in Spring, and currently VERY high up on the agenda. You’re right, frankly it would be rude not to.
Ribena: Did Rome last summer, but Barcelona also v. high on the list. In fact, so far the list pretty much goes: Barcelona, Seville, Paris, Edinburgh. Re: the glasses, when people say to me, “Oh, I didn’t know you needed glasses!”, I will of course compulsively tell them that no, I am a shameless fraud, and everyone will lose any modicum of respect they ever might have had for me. But then, who needs respeck when you have a glorious pair of specs?!
Gemma: Like me, also. You’re right. And Bruges… that had not even crossed my mind. Sounds like my bag though. Research ahoy!
Kitty: Well I’m not really into weed or live sex shows, but Amsterdam is supposed to be wonderful anyway. Van Gogh Museum and all that. Hmm. This whole asking-people-where-to-go schtick was meant to make it easier for me to choose, not confuse me with brand new bundles of travel candy. Oh noes.
Right. Now that I have sign-off on the glasses thing from FOUR (count ‘em) highly fashionable women (including THE London fashion blogger of all London fashion bloggers, hello?!), the glasses thing is decided. WIN.
