In need of a laugh?!

A ha ha. I’ve never been so amused. I’m talking about serious fashion stuff over on Fash Mob, but right here I’m talking about how cute this thing is in its jumper (what is it? is it a dog? is it a plane?!!):

A case of obvious neglect

Since I started over at the new fashion blog, I’ve found it hard to keep everything going, and am not quite sure yet what function rosemarymaccabe.com is going to have in the coming weeks and months. I can keep doing my style posts, but I’ve been quite rubbish at that too, so I’m not sure. [...]

Random facts post # 1

I always love when other people do these, so I thought I’d give it a go and give you some random information to digest over lunch. . . (I also submitted five facts to Conor Pope’s post a few days back.)
1. I was named after my mother’s sister, who died during the second World War. [...]

I’ve been listening to a lot of Ke$ha lately, my problems with the dollar sign notwithstanding, and it was to her hip-hop-pop soundtrack that I dressed myself on this fine, cold morning. Having been skiing for a week, I was determined to keep up the exercise ante so I went for a brisk walk in [...]

2010, book four: Daughter of the River

There’s something about literature set in India that repels me – it may have been White Tiger what broke the camel’s back – and something else that attracts me in equal measure to Chinese literature. Maybe it’s because I quite enjoyed Memoirs of a Geisha, it being the closest my young and put-upon self would [...]

2010, book three: La Candy

I would love if my 2010 book reviews could be an example of my highly intellectual brain and fully-formed analytical capabilities, but unfortunately there are times when a gal has a short flight to take, and those times call for something that I otherwise turn my nose up at: chick-lit. And so here we are, [...]

2010, book two: The Road

I generally dislike seeing the film before reading the book, but in the case of The Road, it was a case of too much, too soon – or something. When I saw The Road, and some of you may already have read this, I had no idea what it was about. So when I read [...]

Q. “I used to be so “Pink” and healthy looking on my inside Labia Lip area.  Now I am losing that fresh look. Is there anything I can do”?
A. Yes, now there is a solution! “My New Pink Button” is a Cosmetic Dye especially for the woman’s genital area, to help restore that healthy vibrant Rosy [...]

More than a feeling

I was sick and tired of everything. . . sometimes you listen to a song, over and over, for a week, or two, or three, and it makes you feel everything that you’re already feeling, but more – amplified.
Sometimes I dream about meeting a person who could do that, but then I imagine it might [...]

In the world of Web 2.0, LOLing at oneself is surely the first sign of madness

I’ve never been a huge fan of the acronym. Even as a child, it struck me as a lazy way of avoiding that extra syllable or two. Given my family’s penchant for post-dinner games, the word “syllable” has been as firmly engrained in my psyche as the words “Mum” and “Dad”.
“No, Rosemary, that’s two syllables [...]
