There has been some controversy in the media recently about the inappropriateness of size zero models, particularly in regards to their health. I happen to agree that deliberately keeping your size down to an emaciated level is not right.
This photo below (don’t know any ownership details) speaks much louder than I could in support of [...]

Bill Clinton is the kind of man I hope to God I never become as I get older: a bitter and twisted person who thinks the world owes him a favour.
Maybe it’s because his wife Hilary was making public love to Barack Obama in a bid to affect public unity within the US Democrats party. [...]

It takes a ’special’ breed of animal to be a politician. You have to be ruthless one moment, two-faced the next, a liar and deceiver mostly but a hypocrite probably all of the time. Having acting skills is also handy, of course!
In the world of a politician all that matters is public opinion and being [...]

You are what you eat so I try my best to eat only the freshest, organically grown quality food. Very occasionally I go off the rails and order a take-away but anytime I do this I know I’m taking a big risk because you never know what you’ll be getting with this kind of food [...]

From time to time I bump into people who feel they have to tell me about Channel 4’s Big Brother programme and the latest ‘events’ happening on that game show. Honestly, people, I really do not care!
The way how they present their opinions you would think Big Brother is a vital life-important elixir you have [...]

Usually you have to look behind and beyond reported mainstream news to get at the real news. What is presented is not often what is happening. The situation currently enfolding in Zimbabwe is one that requires such an open eye, mind and independent scrutiny because what is being presented is far from the truth.
For instance, [...]

As a nation of people Americans are an anomaly. Around 92% of them declare themselves to be believers in God or a universal spirit and 58% said they pray privately every day and consider religion an important part of their lives.
Americans in California are less likely than others to consider religion “very important” in [...]

I’ve never really understood supermodel Naomi Campbell’s public persona. On one level I could quite easily dismiss her as being yet another attractive but vain attention seeker who plies a profession where she regularly flashes her flesh publicly for money.
Outside of polite circles they have a term for that. In the world of fashion they [...]
