Dirty Rotten Scoundrels charm at The New Alex
Two very different conmen, a suave man of the world who may also be a Prince, or a pychiatrist, on any given day, and a young and vulgar upstart who spins an unlikely yarn in a way that could bring tears to the eyes. These were the Scoundrels who charmed and delighted the New Alex Theatre last night. It was the press launch for ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’, which showed, in all it’s glory, why it was nominated for 10 Tony Awards, including best new musical. It is simply one of the best nights in theatre. Lawrence (the suave and devilish Michael Praed) is the king of the Riviera Conmen, able…

Met Gala 2015 – My fave looks
The Met Gala 2015 will go down as one of the most memorable in recent history. The theme this year was ‘China: Through the looking glass; and this gave way to a host of plays on this theme. Unfortunately, for many fashionista’s this meant some sort of poppy display and very questionable eye make-up (I’m talking to you Kris Jenner, and frankly still shuddering at the thought nearly 24hours on.) There was also a lot of flesh on display, as Cher’s fright frocks of the 1980s were resurrected on Beyonce, JLo and Kim Kardashian – all of whom should frankly sack the stylist and put some clothes on. Fortunately, there…

A coffee lovers guide
When it comes to beverages, I have to admit I am a coffee drinker. I do love tea, but given the choice, I will always choose coffee, whether it be latte, expresso or cappuchino or plain old decaf. There is something about the aroma that is just intoxicating, and nothing wakes me up in the morning better than a strong cup of coffee. Basically my day doesn’t start until I’ve had my caffeine fix. House of Fraser are one of the key places to go if you want to get yourself a state of the art coffee machine, having a wide range that includes gorgeous machines from KitchenAid, Heston Blumenthal,…
