Fashion Victim: Hair-raising trends in the heart of Hollywood

IMITATION is the sincerest form of flattery, you know. I cannot tell you how often I heard that gubbins as a child every time my skinnier, taller, blonder but younger sister wanted to get the same dress/bag/earrings/haircut/boyfriend as me (OK, I was only kidding about the boyfriend). Read

Fashion Victim: Could style itself soon be called to heel?

IT HAS happened to us all hasn’t it. You spend hours getting ready, debating over which dress, which shoes and which handbag, then you take two steps out of the taxi – and snap! Your four-inch spike heel becomes a two-inch stump, you fall over and spend the rest of the night impersonating a flamingo standing on one leg. Read

MUSIC REVIEW: Duran Duran, Summer Pops, Liverpool

Fashion Victim: You, too, can make waves on the beach

YOU, too, can look beach body beautiful. Without meaning to diss our own fabulous beach body guide, looking hot on the beach in the figurative, rather than the sweaty sense, is a tall order for anyone not named Gisele Bundchen. Read

Horrified by silly protesters

I ATTENDED the exhibition at the Concourse, in West Kirby, on Saturday, for the proposals for the new hotel and sailing school. I was impressed by how available the developers were to the general public, and how calmly and pleasantly they answered my questions, but was utterly horrified at the abuse to which they were subjected by some West Kirby residents.

Big Brother is law unto itself

CAN someone tell me what it will have to take for the television bosses to take Big Brother off the air? A serious assault? A murder? From what I can gather, and I am not watching the series (this is from what I read in the papers) there has been some utterly disgusting behaviour from the housemates (or should that be inmates?) this series, and it has barely even got started.

Tennis stars are courting style experts

CONFESSION to make. I don’t know or care that much about tennis. Correction, I know that Goran Ivanisevic is fit and Jean Michael Gambill (big star circa 2002) is so gorgeous it was all I could do not to lick him when I was sent to interview him. Read

Fashion Victim: Reality gets in the way of my stylish intentions

AS I write this column, I am sitting in a Spanish airport wondering how it is that, despite spending an obscene number of hours each week scrutinising pictures of celebrities arriving at Heathrow and LAX looking impossibly glamorous, I am about to board a flight home in Havaianas and a creased-up black sundress, which will blow up over my head at the first hint of a British breeze, while suffering a hair malfunction of epic proportions.

Fashion Victim: Should I be dressing my age or my shoe size?
