Copy Kate

topshop has stolen my dress

It's just been taken off the website because it sold out in the sale, but I would like to let you in on the truth (or what I fantasise is the truth). In the summer I had a cocktail party for my birthday, and I made a dress for it. A beautiful tiered black satin mini with a tulle ruffle hem. And I was so chuffed with it that I wrote a letter to Topshop in August detailing my suggestion, with this very picture. I didn't honestly expect to hear back from them; it was just a whim. But sat in bed on Boxing day browsing through the sales online, I found this dress supposedly 'designed' by Kate Moss. What are the chances that they would think of a V-shaped ruffle hem too?

I then sent them an email. They replied that I had to send it to another email address, so I did. They replied saying I would have so send it to head office. My last letter I wrote to Topshop didn't have the impact it should have, so I gave up thinking that they're not too similar. But it is an odd coincidence, isn't it? If you have any thoughts, I would love to hear an objective opinion

Who Gets The Boot?

This seems like a meaningless topic, but which would you pick? The instant answer is ' The Sergio Rossi Patchwork boots. who would choose wellies over them?' But you'd be wrong. Firstly price: the rainbow stilettos are almost £700 while the Hunters are only £75. Secondly colour: only if you were having an all-black day and then decided you needed a burst of colour (and I mean a burst) would you wear the Sergio Rossi's; but the Special Edition Fortnum & Mason 'eau de nil' wellies would compliment most other colours. Thirdly durability and practicality: Hunters are specifically made to be practical and durable; while the boots are only for shopping.

I hope but now you are starting to see my point. Wellingtons arn't that ugly, and they're from Fortnum & Mason, nice colour, practical. Stiletto Boots are expensive, unpractical, uncomfortable, go with nothing and so are utterly useless.

But they're still nice boots :D

The World

This was a fantastic idea

A residential cruise ship. Wow. You can live as a resident on this fully-suited nauta, and the owners of the rooms get to decide the itinerary so it's basically your own comfortable yacht. One can also rent studios which start at basic rooms and end in huge apartments with three bedrooms, a kitchen, two verandas, two living rooms and a study [complete with walk-in wardrobes of course], and also with full facilities, which means restaurants and beauty centres. This truly is heaven floating on water. Visit http://www.aboardtheworld.com/

Derren Brown - The Man Behind The Mask

Very confused. I have had a minor obsession with Derren Brown for the last couple of months and only now do I find out about his sexuality.

On the 21st of April Derren published a very public article in the Sun where he came out, explaining that he's 'been with [his] partner for a year – and it’s perfect'. It could be the saddest news I have heard all year: Until I came across this:

This image (courtesy of whatsinstage.com) reads 'Derren Brown and partner Vicky' was released on the 12th Feb. And being a mathematical genius I can tell you that this would rather heavily overlap with his relationship with that other partner (well, unless that's him. gohd hope not)

So unless this is just a little media misapprehension, my view of him has been ruined in two ways -
1) I could NEVER pull him now [there was always a slither of possibility]
2) He's adulterous which just discards his really cute charm

However through this entire emotional experience, I have actually grown to love Derren even more. The idea of a bisexual partner is somewhat intriguing... yet not really what I'm looking for right now. especially since I'm 15 and he's 37.
