Just in case you thought PCD was a bit on the ‘blokey’ side…
Ever sensitive to criticism, the new men of PCD were shocked to hear several of our female colleagues’ opinions that our newsletter – with its macho love of hot chilli sauces and geeky fondness for all things techy – sometimes strayed too far down the rocky road to blokeyhood. Keen to redress the balance, the ladies of PCD present the first in an occasional series, ‘What’s hot and What’s not’…
Gladiator sandals
Sienna and Kate are wearing them and when in Rome!
Staying in…
…3 great shows are keeping us glued to our sofas, The Apprentice, Desperate Housewives and Gossip Girl are all just too good! And all this staying in is doing our bank balances no harm either!
No football
So we know all the boys are gutted that we haven’t made the Euro Championship this year, but us girls are just pleased that our summer holidays, television viewing and social lives in general will not be completely dictated by the football schedule this summer.
The Ting Tings – That’s not my name
The perfect song for a Friday afternoon!
Pink jobs and blue jobs
Pink for girl jobs, blue for boys. Which means you don’t have to empty the bin any more, but you are stuck with the ironing – rubbish!
Freak weather events
No jokes here, the recent events in China and Burma are shocking, made worse by Burma’s military junta refusing all aid help. Also making us feel a little churlish for whingeing about the typically rubbish British summer.
Celebrity parents
Dinah Lohan, anyone ever vaguely related to Amy Winehouse or Blake Fielder-Civil, plus legions of stars’ no-hoper cousins, siblings and parents who use the tabloid media to comment on their relatives latest drug-habit, affair, divorce etc. It’s tacky, go away!
Giant pythons…
…now colonising Southern Florida. Originally imported as pets (what?), then released into the wild when they get too big, they are growing up to 5 metres long, are able to swim and eat dogs and even alligators! Cross the Everglades off your list of holiday destinations.
Celebrity moment of shame
Pete Docherty & Amy Winehouse pictured kissing. Whilst we’re not sure who we feel most sorry for, Amy or Peter, perhaps the moment of shame goes to the photographer, or the picture editors who published these pictures, or perhaps us for looking…?
