Ohhhhhhhh no!
I have just glanced down and realised my fly's been undone whilst I have been meandering round the office chatting to people. All morning. I'm wearing see through black nicks with a bit of embroidery.
Oh the shame!

I have to write a thing!
By tomorrow!
The topic: Burlesque. The who/why/where/what's fabulous of burlesque in a total of 80 words. More a featurette than a feature, but still, 80 words with my name after 'em. Consequentially, they've gotta be good'uns. Very exciting.
Any ideas?
So far I have: Bistrotheque, Dita Von Tease... anyone else know anything about Burlesque?

Christmas cheer
Today is the day of my magazine's Christmas lunch... in a few minutes we're all going to be ferryed off by a load of black cabs to a plush and pricey old school London hotel.
Getting dressed in the morning when you work at a fashion magazine is a fairly traumatic experience, but today was even more complicated than usual. How to put together an outfit appropriate for celebrating christmas with a bunch of uber-hip fashionistas when you also have to go into the office in the morning as usual? Yikes. Tricky one. Hopefully I've cracked it... but you never know... we're doing a Secret Santa as well - I've no clue who's buying my present. But there is one gift I live in dread of receiving... can you imagine the horror if you worked on a style mag and got Trinny and Susanna's 'What Not to Wear' as your Secret Santa gift? Eeeek!

Bleary
Sausage sandwiches should be the LAW after boozy nights out. Feeling woozy - had fun, too much champagne and sabuka.
Thankfully I didn't have a what not to wear moment, but instead my secret santa got me a very pretty sparkly brooch. Which is good, as I have a vast collection of the things and more are always welcome.
So, things learned from my fash mag colleagues last night:
* Swizzle sticks are IN. We're not sure why, but the Ed has decided that this is the case, and, well, with the power of the press we have the ability to make them in. Get one. You'll be ahead of the pack.
* Natasha Beddingfield is, according to the fashion ed, 'big'. You'll note I've used the old ''s there, as her definition of big is 'not sample size'. Which is wincy. I almost dashed to the loos and put my fingers down my throat there and then - if Miss Beddingfield is 'big', I am clearly ginormous.
* Danni Minogue wouldn't do a shoot with us as her people said 'sorry, she only does covers these days'. Like exsqueeze me, what covers are we talking about exactly? Cos I ain't seen her on no covers lately at all... frankly i think she could do with the publicity inside a magazine as fabulous as ours. Don't get greedy girl. It's not becoming.
I can't remember what else. There were more tit bits, but i've forgotton. Anyway. Better after sarnie, am off to try and engage brain. This should be fun... lates.

"I just got back from India where I've been working in
some of the villages that just got wiped out. I've
still got photos of people there in my camera. Before
I went, I worked in the Emergencies section of Cafod
in Brixton, which is one of the aid agencies asking
for money now. When there's a big enough emergency
(like Southern Africa or Iraq last year), the Disasters
Emergency Committee gets all the different agencies,
like Oxfam and Save the Children and the Red Cross,
to work together. So, on Boxing Day, they'll have rung
round all the heads of the different charities and
decided who was going to do what. So, if you give money
to the DEC, it gets allocated back to whichever charities
have the best capacity to spend it. BT and the Post Office
give their services for free so barely anything gets used
up in admin costs and the charities agree to spend
everything they raise within six months." Claire
Give some of tonight's drinking money to the DEC. If you
don't, you know they'll only go and make another Band Aid
record and you'll only have yourself to blame.

Now go and get pissed, knowing you've done your bit.
Happy New Year!
love,
Pick Me Up
PS. Neela says: "One really important thing is that you
make your donations 'gift aid'. When you call up the DEC
to donate (0870 60 60 900 or online http://www.dec.org.uk/)
then tell them that you're a taxpayer, or tick the 'giftaid'
box. If you do this, then they can add 28% to everything to
donate by making the tax man top it up. Give a million
squid and it'll automatically be £1.28million. So say it:
'I PAY TAX'. No naughty strings attached, I promise."
