Dear me … A letter to my 16-year-old self
A few years ago mum gave me a copy of Dear Me, a collection of letters written by 75 celebrities and personalities to their younger selves. Among the authors are James Belushi, Kathleen Turner, James Franco, Jodi Picoult, Alan Cumming, Danni Minogue and Hugh Jackman and it started me thinking about what I would say to […]
MoreWomen fart. Deal with it.
Editor’s note: If you can’t handle the F word (fart), best you click here instead. Today I stumbled across a post I’d half written while falling asleep a few weeks back. It was triggered by the ridiculous comment former spin king Shane Warne (or as my half asleep typing called him, Spunk Kong Dhane Watne) made […]
MoreLost in a summer daze
Hello there. I thought I should re-introduce myself following my unplanned hiatus over the summer.

Who knew being a dating advice columnist would involve getting to eat amazing food? Not me … but it’s definitely turned into a perk of my job. eHarmony are currently putting together a ‘great date guide‘ and they’ve sent me out onto the streets of Brisbane to find some great venues for those who usually […]
MoreMy days as a DUFF
Last week I took my 15-year-old cousin Maddy to see the new teen comedy, The Duff. Surprisingly, it’s not an ode to Hillary (Duff, get it?) but instead tells the tale of humiliation and redemption experienced by high-school senior Bianca who, thanks to her rude, jock of a next-door neighbour (who happens to be super […]
