To think we burned our bras for this silly survey
Tammy Wynette was definitely right. Sometimes it is hard to be a woman. But
now, it seems, we are finding it hard most of the time.

Tyra shows how to be a perfect model
Thursday, 15 October 2009
Tyra Banks, the model turned TV producer who is as famous for the catchphrase 'Unleash your inner fierceness' as for her perfect face, seems to be practising what she preaches.

How did Luther's name get on this dross?
Thursday, 15 October 2009
Luther Vandross, the smooth and sexy soul singer who died in 2005 has been honoured with a dubious posthumous accolade. His name has been given to a new burger which is selling like hot cakes across America and is so unhealthy and fattening that Homer Simpson himself would have difficulty finishing one.

Why Cowell bash didn't have that big X Factor
Thursday, 8 October 2009
What do you give to the man who has everything but who claims he hates lavish A-List parties awash with ego-mad celebrities and swarming with pushy paparazzi?

It was enough to make Coco go loco
Thursday, 8 October 2009
It was a scene that would have the late Coco Chanel turning in her grave. Dishevelled models promenading and do-si-do-ing on a catwalk strewn with straw, whilst Lilly Allen and her band of hillbilly lookalikes strum and fiddle their way through a repertoire of bluegrass inspired half-hits on centre stage. Whatever is the fashion world coming to?

Now is the time to axe this mother of daft laws
Thursday, 1 October 2009
You don't have to be a single mother like me to find the following story infuriating. In fact, you don't even need to be a parent; just a human being with the most basic grasp of what's right and wrong.

How every woman can play the Teese
Thursday, 1 October 2009
Dita Von Teese - the name may sound like a drag queen's, though believe me, she ain't - but if you haven't heard it before you will after this week.

Frances Burscough: I Iearned a tough lesson from my first digs at uni
Saturday, 26 September 2009
My nephew Joe left home this week to go to university. It’s a huge step for a
teenager but if anyone can carry it off with aplomb he certainly can.

Why size zero cult is wearing a bit thin
Thursday, 24 September 2009
London Fashion Week was in uproar this week. Hissy-fits, tantrums, tears and tiffs ensued - even more than usual - as one after another influential designer chose realistically-sized models instead of emaciated stick insects to showcase their collections on the catwalks.

Madge tripped up over memory slip
Thursday, 24 September 2009
It has always irked me greatly, the fact that Madonna appears to have a selective memory of her early days. So selective, in fact, that she has blotted out completely her appearance at the Hacienda Club in Manchester in 1984. Indeed, as soon as she became universally famous she denied that it had ever happened: "I've never been and I don't even know where Manchester is," was her reply when asked how she felt about the legendary club closing down in the mid 90s.

Latex and leather is not good look, ladies
Thursday, 24 September 2009
There was a time when burning a bra was all it took for a woman to prove she was in control of her own life. Thirty-odd (very odd) years on and that seems like such a simple solution.

It’s my time to sort out the men from the toys‘
Monday, 21 September 2009
Where does the time go? It’s the most common cliché you hear when you’re a
parent but only because it sums up so succinctly the way kids race through
childhood.

Frances Burscough: Why racist comments just make me see red
Thursday, 10 September 2009
A friend sent me a racist email this week. It was meant as a joke but I was appalled. I won't even repeat it, for fear of the offence it might cause. My heart always sinks when someone begins a line with "I'm not racist, but ... "

Oh Colin Firth, to me you really are a big star
Thursday, 10 September 2009
Think of Colin Firth and, if you're a hot-blooded female (or a regular gay man) then you think of just one thing ... the vision of him emerging from that dip in the ditch, wearing wet, white, compromisingly-transparent riding breeches.

Saturday, 5 September 2009

my bed all week with swine flu.

Frances Burscough: Er lads, this new fashion fad is not clever, it’s just pants
Thursday, 27 August 2009
Let’s get this straight: girls wearing their fella’s clothes — aka ‘boyfriend
fashion’ — looks cool. A big shirt can look super kooky and a tux &
tie combo super sexy, a la Annie Hall, on the right figure.

Frances Burscough: Surely research should be based on science, not science fiction?
Thursday, 27 August 2009
Forget global warming or worldwide recession or pandemics such as swine flu or
bubonic plague: what we really should be worried about are zombies killing
us all.
