use your words...

After weeks, possibly months, of procrastination, I have finally uploaded pics from the various photoshoots I've done. This is basically just based on the hypothetical possibility that someone from a magazine could stumble across a little-known blog ('We hate fluoro'? 'Fluoro is bad'? Something like that, anyway), like the author's test shots, and decide to give the her a job in the fashion office. It's the new stylist's version of Julia Roberts in 'Pretty Woman' (ie. the idea of it is so ludicrous as to be unbelievable), but I though I'd better do it, especially seeing as I don't have a website (can you get them at an 'Everything One Pound' shop?).

The downside of having my pics here is that there is now very little writing to be seen. So here is some. I'm trying to give this a point, but struggling somewhat.

I do have this to say: I need to buy a winter coat, and the prospect is stressing me out somewhat. Was informed by a guy at work today that it can get down to one degree here in January and February, and I'm trying to ascertain exactly what fabric will keep a notoriously cold-sensitive Sydney chick (who may or may not in fact be cold-blooded) warm in such antisocial weather conditions. Does Prada make a winter overcoat in merino wool, cashmere and that stuff you use to insulate your house (preferably not asbestos)?

Alternatively, I'm wondering how wildly inappropriate it would be to take to the streets of London in February in full ski gear - minus the actual skiing equipment, obviously (though I may need the goggles), and in fact now that I think about it ski poles would be handy for when I need to knee-cap people on the tube.

Something to consider, anyway. You heard it here first.
