Cheers, here's to us

Pimms No 1 Cup

British bombshells drink this cocktail like tea during the warmer months. Londoner James Pimm, owner of an 1840's oyster bar invented this lovely thirst-quenching drink. It combines gin, quinine (great for easingnasty cramps ladies!) and a secret mixture of herbs.

This drink is designed to aid digestion.
Makes 1 litre
Ingredients (serves 4)

4 cups ice cubes (freeze strawberries or mint in them if you like!)
1 lemon/orange, cut into thick slices
160ml Pimms No. 1
125ml lemonade, chilled
125ml ginger ale, chilled
Mint leaves
1/2 Lebanese cucumber, cut into thin strips

Method
Place 1/2 the ice into a 1-litre capacity jug. Add lemon slices. Pour Pimm's, then lemonade, ginger ale, mint leaves and even strawberries if you like. Stir with a pretty swizzle stick to combine.
Divide the remaining ice cubes amongst 4 tall, pretty glasses. Place a slice of cucumber into each glass and then fill with cocktail. Serve.

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!

Louis Vuitton Barbie

This is gorgeous. Just gorgeous with a '70's style thing going on here. And I have to admit I am rather ever so slightly envious of her abundance of accessories. Lucky plasticated bombshell... A Barbie for grown up girls? I think so. Though I have a feeling my little girl would confiscate it from me. I, kittens, am confined to the boudoir today as I suffer from consumption. Ok, not quite consumption. A case of hypochondria perhaps. And a post-nasal drip. Though I might just roll out of bed for one of these beauties. I don't know what one of these gems would cost. Anyone? Are they still available? Who knows..  But for now, I shall just roll over and get back to Club Duvet.

No More For Vanessa And Johnnie

Image
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.
