Prefer home-based hairdressing?  Here’s Charmaine (owns that bulldog and green parrot).  She’s down in Victoria Parade too … One-on-one fussing and cheaper.

Oops.  I used the wrong Hakan photo.  Here he is; sitting like a piano player and plying his hot milk.  See how he spills it?

    Shameless plugs and product placement… Is it a blog or an advertorial? At least the colours and most of the swimmers are very pretty. And please stop reminding me of JIMBLES

    Lesbubbles needs a lift to tonight’s party. Can she test drive the Yaris? Does it have cat seats?
