Little Something For Christmas
Recession? What recession? Some people are literally showered with money, and if you and your mega-rich friends have an extra million or two to spend, British newspaper’s The Sun’s has some ideas about the most opulent and OTT presents for Christmas this year: Iphone 3GS Supreme, contains 271g of 22-carat gold and almost 200 diamonds. [...]
Rock Star Hotel
Not just money, this hotel requires a specific profession for its guest to stay in their posh room: a rock star! And apparently, ‘anything goes’ in this hotel. clipped from news.sky.com At prices starting at £175 per night for the tiniest crash pad, to £3,500 for a garden suite, this 30-room hotel is not for [...]
My Contemplation of Being Older (3)
Post script 5 December: This thread was written under the influence of at least a bottle of champagne and a bottle of Barolo. I just read it again today and have found so many errors and mistakes. I think it is a perfect sign of aging, the uncoordinated between brain and fingers, and eyes and [...]
Foot Notes
Head note (what do you call a note before footnote?): this post is about, what else, feet. And shoes. Again. Prepare to be bored to death. Last weekend was a busy one. Woke up really early – 4.30 AM to be exact – last Friday to get ready, mostly to sit down and pull myself [...]
Something Scottish For Today

Bart and 'Sweet Home Obama' Go International
Bartele Santema is in his element. I can imagine him sitting down in a dressing room, powdered-face, maybe a little bit of lip gloss and mascara to enhance his features, a stack of stroopwafels on the table, a glass of beer in one hand, practicing his lines, trying to remember all of his six bars [...]
Yearbook Yourself.com : See How You Look Like in The Past
See the picture on the left? That’s how I looked like in 1964. I stumbled upon this website and immediately uploaded my picture to see how I look like in the past. The website provides classic hairdos, vintage outfits, even old songs from the 50′s to 2000. It also brilliantly allows us to adjust our [...]
Are You A Retrosexual?
You, of course, have heard about metrosexual men. Since the Nineties, men have embraced their feminine side and spent an equal amount of time in the bathroom as their other-halves, putting some face cream or hair gel on, as well as scrutinizing fashion magazines to keep up with the latest trend. David Beckham, as you [...]
