Jazz Baby

So maybe you've decided that you are, in fact a bombshell. Maybe you're just interested in the Bombshell style.

You may have no idea what kind of music should accompany a Bombshell. What music fits her lifestyle? What does a Bombshell listen to when she's in the mood to dance? What music does she play to enhance her "mean reds" or "blues" whilst crying? What music would she play when she's in love?


Our moods and circumstances do play a huge part in the places we frequent, the clothes we wear and the music and musicians we care to listen to.

I can't speak for absolutely ALL bombshells of the world, but I'll endeavor to find some music that I'd be likely to listen to...


Bombshell in Love:
Mozart, Elvis Costello (I love his version of "she"), Nat King Cole, Michael Buble, Barry White...

Bombshell in misery:
Cry Me A River - Diana Krall's version, Julie London's and Justin Timberlakes! Marilyn Monroe, Ella Fitzgerald and Sachmo...

Bombshell in the morning:
(Usually quite inspiring and up-beat to get her started for the day)
Tchaikovsky, Bobby Darin, Dionne Warwick, Louie Prima. . .

Bombshell after work:
(Turning the lights down and unwinding in a bubble bath or just relaxing with a glass of wine)
Debussy, Tony Bennett, lounge music, Ertha Kitt, Black Coffee (love Julie London's version), Ella Fitzgerald.


Bombshell in the kitchen (with someone who'll cook for her):
Dean Martin, Doris Day, Petula Clarke, Bing Crosby, The Village People...


Bombshell on vacation:
Elvis Presley (Hawaii), Wayne Newton (Las Vegas), Beethoven (anywhere), Dolly Parton (country), Edith Piaf (France), anything french...



Shopping Bombshell:
Henry Mancini, Shirley Bassey, Frank Sinatra...


Dancing ("shimmying") Bombshell:
Miles Davis, Elvis Presley, Carol King, 1950's New York jazz, Arty Shaw, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Buble...


Oh I could go on and on... But I won't.

Lights, camera, action

Last week, I audtitioned for a part in a theatre company and got in. Bombshells like the limelight, even us shy kittens. When we shine brightly we can be blinding, but when we flickers to a dim glow, well... you'd probably prefer not to know about it. We are used to people paying attention to us. It's our part in life to be admired. It is a reason very few people see us "sans make-up"! It's a famous bombshell tradition to always receive a bouquet of flowers after the first and last show in a season. I look forward to it so much! Bombshells, if nobody is giving/sending you bouquets, send them to yourself. You deserve it. Courtsey, take the compliments and sign your autograph with finesse!

No More For Vanessa And Johnnie

After 14 years as a couple, raising their two children 12 year old Lily-Rose and 9 year old Jack, actor Johnny Depp and his french girlfriend Vanessa Paradis have decided to go their separate ways. I thought it was so romantic for him to buy a private island for them to share together.  These things remind us that nothing lasts forever. Separation.  Was it clash of ego? Was it addiction difficulties?  Confusion of priorities?  What a crying shame and such a common thing to happen, especially for celebrities.

Ms Blunt

Emily Olivia Leah Blunt. She's a fantastic and versatile actress. She's from England and she's currently filming a movie with Matt Damon (if I had a brother, I imagine him like Matt). She started in the theatre (like me, except I'm still there) but her breakout role was in the film My Summer Or Love, though most people remember her for her role of the bitchy Emily in The Devil Wears Prada with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway (does Anne know she shares the same name as Shakespeares' wife?). She met her ex-boyfriened, crooner Michael Buble whilst in Melbourne and they bought a property together. Unfortunately, they are no longer an item. I just adore her lately. And this image is superb.
