I d do anything for love.....

Hello Lovelies,
Last saturday morning I awoke quietly. Mr W works late on Fridays so I let him sleep,whilst I have a big bubble bath or paint my nails. On this particular Saturday I did both I then slid back into bed,looking fresh faced and red taloned, I had plans on just how to wake him up....

He rolled over and announced that he had to go to the studio and would I like to come with him...."As you have small hands,perfect for doing some sanding" Mr W chuckled (yes,he chuckles) as I  looked down at my manicure and then at him with the 'Are you kidding me ?' kind-of-look. 
Now, Mr W is a very talented sculptor,however when your hands are as  big as Pamela Anderson's assets,sanding things of a more delicate nature can prove difficult. And by sanding I mean with little bit of sandpaper,that have to be wet,so not only did my nails go from this:
P.S Thank-you Dita for being Today's hand model.....


To this: 
The pads of my digits were soooo wrinkly from the watery torture I had subjected them to the last two hours.
My fingers made King Tuts' mummified body look like an extra from Desperate housewives (dead,but wrinkle free)  So now I hear you say why?! Why sacrifice the manicure and then complain-blog it. Well I ll tell you, 
I secretly love it. 
I get to spend a few hours watching Mr W create works of art, to talk and debate,which funnily enough-doesnt nearly seem as wanky as that reads. 

Mostly  I do it because I love him and know that tonight I will have both another bubble bath and a glass of champagne poured for me. Oh and that one day he ll be making a mint from his art and I ll not feel one bit guilty about paying for a manicure with that money! I will also be buying one of these with said money.

So my question to you is "What,if anything to you sacrifice in the name of love for your nearest and dearest???

Lovely Lady Liz.
 You may see that I have a bit of a thing for her. Something between a girl crush and my total style goddess . And why not,she is what I would look like if I wasn't obsessed with my other obsession-food! How can I not love a woman who married 8 times and had 7 husbands?! I wonder if she kept all the rings?? I also love watching Liz and Richard Burton on film together,when he holds her and gently rubs her arm with his thumb. Which is one of the things I love about my love Mr W,he does it when we are at a party, or sitting on a ferry. Its one of those things that makes me tingle and that says that 'I love you' without saying it. Do you think Liz had feeling? 8 times?!  Well lets keep it short today, I am going to leave you with some of my favourite pics of Liz.  What is your favourite Elizabeth Taylor look.

I do not like this weather,the still ugliness of heat. I long for the British summer,staying out all day,in the sun without worrying that I ll end up looking like a Bondi backpacker. I am fair,so I tend to worry more about covering up. Ive spent a few days of the past couple of weeks at this wonderful little treasure in the middle of Sydney harbor.      http://outpost.cockatooisland.gov.au/    If you have children take them. If you have husbands or boyfriends take them.There is a steam powered crane on the far side of the island,and this is apparently the boy equivalent of seeing Elizabeth Taylor's jewels ALL of them.and allowed to try them on.  (hmm) There is also art,lots and lots of street art,from all over the world. But then there is this......

I have a vision....for perfect brows

Brows Brows Brows! They define the borders of the face. Brows enhance your eyes and make you look younger,if shaped and coloured correctly.

My brows used to look like this.   




For a young lady who has such dark hair,by some freakishly strange gene I have light brows,which encouraged me to neglect them,for months and months AND months!. I was perfectly okay with this,before I knew what a good brow could do for me. Ohh and I do still fish face,but my brows now look like this- yay! 





The lady that tamed,coloured and shaped my brows to perfection has alas moved to Italy. So now the brow dying I do at home,but I have not found someone who really listens to and shares my Elizabeth Taylor vision I have for my brow beauties.
For good brow grooming I always have the following:
  • A great set of tweezers- I like Rubis as a brand,you used to able to get them from Mecca but you can only buy online,so worth it! http://rubistweezers.com/  


  • Brow wax and powder, Benefits "BrowZings " is perfect,however I only use the travel sized brushes when I am on the go. Try to use a full size brush when applying. This is to ensure even application of the wax and powder. I then use a comb to smooth the hair and combine the wax and powder in the brow for a more natural finish. I keep the mascara wands from when I have my brows done as I believe that these are the BEST combs (and free)
  • Brow gel or good,but it can be that one extra item you can really do without IF you have already plucked,shaped and filled in your eyebrows each morning. So I swipe a tiny spray of hairspray over my mascara wand and run that through.  I would recommend Brow gel however if you don't fill in your brows but just want to look groomed, again Benefit do a good one, or a little more luxurious would the Bobby Brown one.
  • Highlighting. Under the brows,highlighting can be beneficial for giving the brow a lift. I like to use a soft pink rather than a stark white and blend well.
So I have some homework for you all:
1. I need a brow wax ASAP,please recommend
2. Would you like a video tutorial on how I do my brows??

 Love Lady M
