Three Identical Strangers
I watched a documentary last month called Three Identical Strangers. The bizarre story of Edward Galland, David Kellman, and Robert Shafran, and how they were adopted out as infants by separate families in 1963 only to find each other nineteen years later. What came from that reunion has left horror in its wake. According to Wikipedia: It recounts how the brothers discovered one...

Catching Up With My Linda Craig, Murder, She Wrote and Crime of Fashion Series
In trying to finish off small book series, the biggest hurdle has been the conversion rate between America and Australia. A book that once cost $2.95 (the UK Armadas) can now cost $40 or more by the time you add in shipping and then conversion. But I managed to get a few pieces here in Aus to help complete collections. The rest came from overseas....

It’s Nine Years Since Jackie Collins Left Us
It’s the ninth anniversary of the passing of Jackie Collins, and during the last year, I’ve bought a few more items to fill up my JC collection. I bought the The World Is Full Of Married Men album, and matching single. The album is a double and opens out with images from the movie, just one of Jackie’s books that was turned into...

BOOK REVIEW: Tom Selleck, Sulari Gentill and Karen M McManus
“There are many miles from the business school and basketball court at the University of Southern California to 50 million viewers for the final episode of a TV show called Magnum P.I. Tom Selleck has lived every one of those miles in his own iconoclastic and joyful way. Frank, funny and open-hearted, You Never Know is an intimate memoir from a beloved actor, the story of a remarkable...

BOOK and MOVIE REVIEW: Argylle
I read the book first before watching the movie. I’m not into spy novels, not even Bond novels, so I’m not sure what I expected going in. I did expect some humour. We’ve all seen the ads for the movie and I expected some of that, but this was a boring story. I skimmed multiple pages just to get through it. Hated on a...

MOVIE REVIEWS: Barbie and The Fall Guy
The only thing, or should I say person, worth watching in both of these movies is Ryan Gosling. I watched Barbie twice, and didn’t like it except for Ryan. At the beginning of the movie all of the Barbies saying hi annoyed me as it just went on and on. Barbie’s hair not being the typical big bouffant white blonde do that she has...

2024 Jewellery Haul Part 2
I’ve been buying on Depop.com for a couple of years now, and can always get a bargain. This bulk lot contained a lot of pieces, many I’ve kept but have probably gone through it this month as I’m looking to throw out a lot of stuff I no longer need or use as I don’t make jewellry much anymore, but I tend to keep a...

2024 Jewellery Haul Part 1
Earlier this year I bought an absolute tonne of jewellery from a seller on eBay. She was selling her designer jewellery collection for as little as $5AU. I bought pieces that sold for $600AU plus retail, for as little as $67. Knowing I was going to be buying these pieces, I also knew I needed to reorganise my jewellery corner of the bedroom. This pic...
