Naturally, unprocessed items win out, with Weetabix and plain organic wholewheat pasta getting top scores. But, as someone with a gluten intolerance, I realised that while I spent all those years worrying about calories, fat content and protein, I’d overlooked the absolute lack of any sustenance in “free from” food.

Over at the Oscars, Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Lawrence, Issa Rae and Hailee Steinfeld took to the liner with gusto, all wearing different takes to suit their looks. The key here isn’t the shape you opt for (like the celebs, you want to make this one work for you), but rather the product you choose — you want something that makes applying liner a doddle, like Vieve’s Power Ink Liner, £21, if you’re going for a stark line, or KIKO Milano High Pigment Eyeshadow in Matte Black, £7.49, if you want a hazier look.

‘So sorry, I’ll be with you in a moment, I’m just penning a tear-stained poem about the end of our breastfeeding journey, called: “Jasper, You’re Four Now”.’ She looks up to find Jasper with his fingers around a traumatized fluffy tail. ‘Oh, Jasper, I can’t have you picking that squirrel up by its tail. I know you’re feeling anxious about climate change, but throwing animals isn’t kind. Here, throw this instead,’ she says, offering him her iPhone to trash. She is so devoted to her mini tyrannical boss that she twitches if she hears the word ‘mummy’. Does not sleep. Does not breathe out of place. Suffers from a rare form of Stockholm syndrome called, ‘Mother’s love’. Source link

As Leon Dame, the ghoulish, bony male model, staggered out under the puddle-splashed Pont Alexandre III bridge in January, John Galliano succeeded in creating the most impact- ful fashion show of 2024. It was the Spring 2024 couture collec- tion for Maison Margiela, and for the first time in years the models were modelling. That’s the work of the house’s move- ment director, Pat Boguslawski, the Polish actor, dancer and model. He explains how he got the job — and gets girls moving like creaky, wind-up dolls.

The hotel boasts the only rock cave spa in Mykonos, a grotto with craggy boulder walls where you can lie in a massage chair that vibrates in time to music. It has two treatment rooms, a steam bath room, an indoor jacuzzi, a hair and beauty salon and tropical rain beds — an enervating experience that had a bit of fishmonger’s slab feel about it, though not, I have to say, in a bad way.

When I left school I attended the London College of Fashion near Oxford Street to study journalism. I needed an affordable place nearby so moved into the YWCA on Great Russell Street, opposite the British Museum — an excellent location for mine and [Bananarama bandmate] Keren’s teenage clubbing in Soho. Then our friend, Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook, offered to move us into an office above their rehearsal room in Denmark Street. Source link

So, not many senior British royals to spare, were there? It’s starting to look as though the policy of a slimmed-down royal family, on which Prince Philip was very keen, wasn’t such a great idea. There is an almost unlimited demand for royals to do their thing, viz, entertain other royals, open things and attend charity events, but there are not enough to go round. The great thing is that this means we get to see a whole lot more of Princess Anne, 72, who got lots of love after the late Queen’s funeral when she wore her Royal Navy uniform, including trousers to bestride her horse. She is famously the hardest-working royal and right now the old battleaxe practically has honorary babe status. In this febrile and dangerous world, lots of us would feel safer if Anne were, in fact, Queen. Faili...

It also taught her something valuable about love, she says. ‘I went in there talking about love and relationships and saying, “Oh, I don’t think relationships are for me” — but, you know, that was coming out of past relationships. I came out of [filming the documentary] going, monogamy and love really are important to me, I just haven’t found the right person yet. So it just kind of helped me find the bookends to certain questions — which by the way, are still bookends, it doesn’t mean that the conversation is ever closed, it just means that I can feel a certain amount of contentment, joy and happiness in where I am.’ Source link
