The Girls Online: The Ultimate Celeb Sighting

10 November 2006

The Ultimate Celeb Sighting

Went to Tatler's annual Little Black Book party last night at TwentyFour. Lots of tall, shockingly young Hooray Henry types, accompanied by fresh-faced Size 00s in long-sleeved shift mini-dresses. And guess who put in an appearance alongside the usual models, socialites and heirs? Why, none other than Princess Beatrice.

Sorry F, but I think this beats your sighting a while back of Maggot from Goldie Lookin' Chain!

Our Favourite Sites

TheyWorkForYou.com

(excellent website, allowing you to track your MP’s attendance at Parliament, voting record and additional income)

(Say NO to ID Cards!)

(Find out what motivates YOU to vote – erm, if you want)

Political Betting

(Will Blair step down this year? Will Cameron up his eco-friendliness by dispensing with the car following him daily on his “look-at-me-I’m-so-green” cycle into Parliament? Is an invasion on Iran imminent? Will George Galloway go away? Find out the odds here, and bet on them)

(D: Not sure whether to view this as the best displacement activity ever or the most socially offensive website imaginable. Allows you to check out the social demographic breakdown of your local area. Also, you can source local amenities – particularly good when your washing machine creates a major flood on Bank Holiday Monday)

Northern Ireland Neighbourhood Information Service

(Provides a similar service for residents of Northern Ireland)

Persephone Books

(F: This is an amazing concept: they are a publishing house who find neglected classics of women’s fiction. Not total classics but more rainy afternoon can’t-put-down type books, and they are printed in beautiful dove grey covers. The website has loads of extra stuff on women and fiction as well)

Phillip Pullman’s Home Page

(L: Contemporary genius. Best living writer, in my humble opinion)

Who’s Who in Wentworth

(L: Very detailed Prisoner Cell Block H fan site. Complete episode guide. A gift for Antipodean trash fans such as self)

The Internet Movie Database

(F’s favourite film website)

The Knee Guru Website

(Website containing everything you ever wanted to know about knees (but were too afraid to ask – one of F’s again)

(D: LOVING this site – provides excellent displacement activity when avoiding getting any work done)

(an absolute must when your make-up bag is cruelly stolen at the gym)

(another must for make-up base essentials, especially when you order them in the States (much cheaper), and your friend S is about to visit you, bringing with her a suitcase full of cheap American goodies. Hoorah!)

(Skincare guru)

(D: Love love love his funky colours)

(D: Excellent blusher and powder brushes, amazing quality make-up and good colours, too)

(D: absolutely could not live without Topshop. It is an institution. Plus, I get a 10% student discount AND get to dress like a 15 year old, thus denying impending 30th bday crisis)

(D: All I can say is, I wish I was empowered to offer these people an award. A truly wonderful, marvellous, brilliant website. They sell Tsubi jeans at a fraction of the UK retail cost, and their customer service is second to none (although I do speak as a London Underground customer). Highly recommended)

(L: I am addicted to it. I love buying useless bargains. It’s excellent for vintage handbags, deleted cds and dvds, books, and general objects. Couldn’t do without it)

(D: Just fabulous. This website pulls together online shopping resources, and in my world, anything that involves shopping AND saves me time and money is a winner. Need clothes? Music? Books? Food? Beauty products? This is your first port of call)

(D: Another brilliant site, discovered while browsing the So Much Easier website, above. Great products; excellent service. I ordered a ceramic GHD blow-drying hairbrush and a GHD anti-static blow-drying hairbrush (and lots of products I didn’t need but couldn’t resist), and they dispatched the items the same day. Can’t wait to receive them and have soft, smooth, frizz-free hair. Hoorah!)

Eat The Seasons

(D: Here’s a great one: it tells you what food (proper food, ie fruit, veg, nuts, meat, fish) is in season, thus enabling you to eat the freshest, locally-grown produce (where possible). Also contains detailed nutrient breakdown, tips on what to look for when buying produce and links to recipes

(D: Organic home delivery is the way to go)

(D: another organic home delivery service)

(D: and another one)

(D: you can never be too healthy)

(D: a great discovery: You can order açai berries and acerola cherries from these people)

(D: equally fantastic, and you can get your berries, cherries and other superfoods, choc-full of amino acids and Vitamin C. I love it)

(D: v into my superfoods at the moment. Contains info on health benefits of goji berries, cacao nibs and maca)

(D: Brilliant. They sell every type of weighing scale at the best prices (trust me - I've spent ages surfing the net for these). I particularly love the body fat/water composition/metabolism age scales, and also the kitchen scales that miraculously calculate the nutritional content and GI value of your food. Genius. Someone please buy me both for my upcoming birthday. Thanks.)

(D: this is where is all began)

London Marathon

(D: as if I hadn’t tortured myself enough)

(D: next year it’s off to Lala Land to repeat the whole experience again)

Things We Hate

(No explanation needed)

Tory Party Website

(Speaks for itself)

Hackney Council

(L: very expensive council tax, and I still don’t have a new wheely bin! Also, when I ring them to complain about various things they take my name and number but NEVER call me back, as they promise to…. Raaaah!)

(L: I hate and detest the phenomenon of the “yummy mummy” – (apologies to P, who recently expressed a bizarre desire to become one!). Find out what is offensive about these over-privileged uber-breeders here)

London Underground

(D: The bane of my life. Overpriced, decaying, filthy, ridden with delays, non-communication, station closures and inexplicable sudden train terminations; living at the mercy of London Underground is one of life’s greatest humiliations)

to listen to a v amusing song about how vile London Underground is

Congestion Charging

(D: astronomical – and forces us into the enveloping bosom of London Underground (see above)
