BOOK REVIEW: The Enigma of Room 622, A Novel Love Story, The Birdcage, and The Three Lives of Kate Cay
The Enigma of Room 622 – Joel Dicker It all starts with an innocuous curiosity: at the Hotel de Verbier, a luxury hotel in the Swiss Alps, there is no Room 622. This anomaly piques the interest of Joel Dicker, Switzerland’s most famous literary star, who flees to the Verbier to recover from a bad breakup, mourn the death of his publisher, and begin his...

My Cabbage Patch Kid, Misty Blue, is 40 Years Old!
Who knew, back in 1985, when I brought home Abigail Fiona, that we’d be here 40 years later on her 40th birthday… Yep! My Cabbage Patch Kid’s name was Abigail Fiona. We changed that tout de suite and she became Misty Blue King, and today, we celebrate my 40 year old daughter. (Still in the same outfit she was in when I originally posted about...

Confessions of a Jewellery Addict
I’ve got a confession to make… Over summer, December to March for us Aussies, it was too hot to wear much jewellery. Due to the hot weather, I was up early on shopping days and getting out and about in the cool mornings around eight and was back around ten. In order to get things done faster, I wore minimal jewellery. Earrings, watch/es, maybe...

JEWEL DIVA AND CLOSET CONFIDENTIAL HAVE BEEN RERELEASED
I first released How To Be A Jewel Diva in 2014 as a pdf e-book to sell online at my Jewel Divas MadeIt store. At some point, I found out Amazon had the Kindle Textbook Creator and used that to make a non-flowable e-book of JD, and later used it in 2015 for Closet Confidential. While releasing CC to my MadeIt store, I released both e-books to Amazon...

I Threw Together a Memoir for the Fun of it!
I didn’t sit down and write a memoir. A memoir came to me. For a year or two I had been writing down lists of things that had happened to me, things I’d done. But finally, in January 2024, I sat down for the Australia Day long weekend with three pages of ideas and turned them into essays. As I went over every...

Catching Up With Trixie, The Danas, and Susan
I haven’t bought a lot of Trixie items in the last year. Too many other expenses and the conversion rate is killing me. But I did manage to get two yellow cover Trixies, from the last paperback series, and the fabulous incredibly rare hair curlers from the updated 2000s reprinted hardcovers. Don’t forget to follow my Trixie collection on my Pinterest board here. ...

OH MY GOD Nancy Drew is 95! And the Hardy Boys are helping her Celebrate
I now post about my Nancy Drew collection once a year in the month of her birth. It gives me time to collect some things throughout the year and time to prep the images for posting. Behold what I’ve bought or received in the last year… Nancy Drew Applewoods. There are still a few I need to collect, but the navy blue leather was...

The end of an era for my favourite clothing label, Millers
Over the last few years, many women’s clothing stores have closed down, thanks to the business fuckery of Mosaic. Thanks to their exhorbitant prices, they went out of business due to the last 5-10 years of people being unable to afford expensive clothing, and cheaper brands like Temu, Shein and Uniqlo coming through. But still… Mosaic owned many a clothing brand, from my favourite Millers,...
