It's officially happy time. September's just whizzed by and it's the month of All Hallow's Eve.

Time to break out the cobwebs, the glow-in-the-dark skull, Mr Old-Scary-Face and Jack-O-Bloody-Lantern.

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

This shop's closed for the year as far as I know: I can finally stop thinking of sticking pins in my eyes.

Altogether now.....soundtrack for the season: MJ's Thriller!

Top of the Shops

The AW 2010 collection is by far the best I've seen, especially its Dark Nouveau range with THAT spiked aviator hat. I've already stalker-called them 59 times, the psycho that I am, to place an order for it.

It'll be the ole two fingers up some poor sod's nostrils if I don't get me hands on one.

When sunny gets blue

The Goddess Experience by Gisele Scanlon is probably the best anti-dote. That, and dreams of the pool house, creamed teas, crisp chilly mornings and endless dotti sprees.

Furball Love Affair

SodaCat mysteriously appears in our lives one night and since then we've been party to all manner of weird and wonderful things like her soft bleating mews, incessant creepy stalking and her inexplicable penchant for dog food.

The Wandering Dreamer

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Goldilocks. She went for a walk in the forest. Pretty soon, she came upon a house. She knocked and, when no one answered, she walked right in.

Naima

Much of what I listen to is lifted from my sister, a woman with exceptionally refined taste in many things, the most significant of which is music. Here's one for you, Cow. I love you.

This is what I'll be wearing to a client meeting on my very last day as a headhunter, after which I'll hang up my bow and arrow for good.
