Sore losses

A good friend of mine dropped one of her diamond earrings down her bathroom sink a couple of weeks ago. Distraught and fumbling to phone every plumber (being Lebanese has finally come in handy) she could have possibly known, the diamond was finally recovered from the pipes. But her initial loss granted me a huge amount of empathy. I reminisced on some of the fabulous items once owned that have sadly and usually quite unnecessarily departed from my own life.

Number one was my mother’s vintage gold and freshwater pearl watch.
Number two was the perfect nude lipliner.

Dirty wives

Another day, another mistress exposed. And they’re not all Tiger Woods’.

Media icon, legendary basketball player and super, massive tall guy Michael Jordan has been caught up in several cheating scandals, Bill Clinton received a blow-job that was generously shared with the world,  JFK is widely known to have cheated on Jackie with a number of women, despite these escapades not reported by the press at the time, Prince Charles was still frolicking in meadows with ex-girlfriend Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, who he later married after Diana’s death, massive royal oops, and off course, who could forget poor golden girl

Sandra Bullock who recently uncovered a truth that no woman ever wants to uncover – that her loving husband has been screwing a tattooed, implanted stripper who enjoys dressing up as a Nazi.

Elizabeth Taylor is one cheating vixen who I still find it difficult to accept. As a much hated GenYer born in 1989, the only image of Taylor embedded in my head is that of her struggling in a wheelchair as an older woman, and my attempts to reconcile this image with the fact that she has been married seven times and been up to some seriously kinky shit. In 1956, while married to Michael Wilding, Taylor had an affair with film producer Michael Todd and later married him just one week after her divorce was final from her previous marriage. I will never look at old, disabled people the same again.
