Some of you will now be aware that my friend Bea has just published a book “The Girlfriend Experience” about her adventures as an escort. I’ve known about the book for quite a long time but was sworn to secrecy! Well my copy finally dropped through my letter box this week. I was hoping it would have arrived before I went on holiday but no I had to wait another whole week. I’ve read a few chapters but will share my thoughts on it once I’ve read the whole thing.
Talking of Bea, I’m popping over to Nottingham at the end of next week as Bea had invited me to the races on Saturday. I’ve decided to do a little entertaining before hand on the Friday. I will be staying in a very nice hotel in the city centre. If you fancy a threesome with us before she finally hangs up her stockings for good, please do get in touch!

I’m off to read a few more chapters. Ooh I wonder if I’m in it…

Well I’m back from holiday and fully refreshed. The cottage I stayed in was absolutely stunning - part of an old stable block which had been refurbished to a very high standard. The master bedroom and bathroom with jacuzzi bath were particularly special. It was right next to a river so perfect for walks with my four legged friend.

Pembrokeshire is such a lovely place the countryside is beautiful and there are so many little seaside towns and villages to visit. The only thing that was a real let down was the food. It was a real disappointment. They really haven’t got their act together on the tourism front at all which is a real shame. Most of the meals I had were so-so and very forgettable. But I suppose I have high standards and have been spoilt in that respect. I had a couple of joint barbeques with some of the people from the other cottages and it was lovely to sit out in the courtyard in the sunshine and chat with a glass or three of rose. Here is a pic of me catching some rays. Hope you like it.

Ok Ok so this is just an opportunity to show you my new shoe acquisition and my new walking boots wouldn’t exactly float your boat would they?

Anyway, I will be taking a week out from tomorrow Friday 12 June. I will be spending my time relaxing in the Welsh countryside with my pooch. Fingers crossed for a bit of sunshine!

So I hope to be back fully recharged on Saturday 20 June. Bye for now xxx

PS funny story about my new walking boots. I went to buy them last week and the helpful sales assistant brought me a lovely pair in green and beige. They felt very comfy so done deal. “Perhaps you might need some socks too madam?” He brought out some blue ones. Me: “I’m sorry to be so choosy but they don’t actually match the boots - do you have any beige ones?” . He was in fits of laughter. Well I do have to be colour coordinated at all times lol!

I have just arrranged my next couple of tours:

Nottingham for one day only 3 July 2009

London 15-17 July 2009

I hope to arrange another visit to Dublin in August. I am thinking of also including Galway as I’ve never been there before. If you are from that part of the world do please get in touch!

Here is a funny anecdote from a book I just read:

I am reminded of a story about that distinguished journalist Mr Frank Giles, whose wife, Lady Kitty, was the daughter of the Earl of Warr.

Mr Giles had been interviewing an American businessman who, when the interview was over, suggested that he and his wife should join him for dinner. Mr Giles accepted the kind invitation and as the American rose to leave he said, “Well, goodbye Mr Giles I look forward to seeing you and to meeting Mrs Giles this evening.”

Now Mr Giles had married an earl’s daughter, a fact that was not to be lightly disregarded. So he said, “Well actually, she’s not Mrs Giles …” but, before he could explain, the American said, “That’s quite all right. Bring her along anyway. Used to keep a little woman myself once.”

Teeheehee!

Today is a very sad day.

My pal Bea has just announced that she is retiring mid June. Bea and I have had some fab times together. We’ve laughed so hard together I’ve cried, we’ve put the world to rights on many occasion, yes we’ve shared some very intimate moments, we’ve even had one or two tiffs lol! You can’t fail to laugh when you are around Bea.

This lady is smart, level headed, funny, sassy, honest, caring, never afraid to speak her mind, but also she is so goddam stunning and sexy! Jealous? Me? She has built up an excellent reputation as an escort, and rightly so - it is one she deserves unreservedly. I am sure that she will be missed by many of you. If you want to have one final fling with Bea, I’d advise you to act quickly as she won’t be accepting dates for much longer.

So Bea, I want to take this opportunity to wish you the very best with your future projects and your life in general. I know that you will be successful in all that you turn your hand to.

I want to thank you for all we’ve shared together so far and I know that our (true) friendship will endure.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Hope you like this pic of me taken on a recent night out.

I will be over in Liverpool for a social occasion on Wednesday and will be accepting incalls at a luxury apartment in the city centre. If you would like to meet up give me a call on 07709 243026. I have limited opportunities so get in touch soon!

I first sat up and took notice of Bocelli when I heard this song on the radio it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I’ve never really been an opera fan. I don’t think you can say that unless you have actually seen an opera though! I saw Carmen and the Barber of Seville a few years ago and I thoroughly enjoyed them. However, Bocelli’s amazing voice has really touched me. I was delighted to learn that he is touring the UK later this year and would love to see him perform live. So, if you would like to be my date for the evening, I would be delighted!

Andrea Bocelli and Christina Aguilera

Here is a little background to Bocelli:

He was born in Tuscany in 1958. He lost his eyesight completely to glaucoma when he was just 12 years old.

He first exploded onto the world stage performing a song at the Sanremo festival. Some say that the opera world has been waiting for this superb tenor for years and that he is a true bridge between “popular” and “classical” music. The Bocelli phenomenon has persuaded young audiences to leave behind their prejudice and discover the richness of opera for the first time. He likes to call himself “a modern but old fashioned tenor”.

One of my Christmas presents this year was a page a day calendar which has a different shoe for every day. For the life of me, I can’t think why anyone would think I would want to sit looking at shoes every day though!

Tuesday 12 May is my highlight so far - these gorgeous candy-apple red stilettoes from Luciano Padovan (a name previously unknown to this shoe connoisseur!). I love the cute peep toe, the shiny silver button, the delicate little strap, the scyscraper heel. Oh, and did I mention they are red?

Aren’t they just the sexiest shoe? I’m drooling. Red shoes are just so hot - they just scream naughtiness. Just thought I’d share that with you …

You know sometimes you get asked the question “If you could invite anyone to dinner, living or dead, who would it be?”. Well top of my list would have to be the French writer Colette. Or, to give her her full title Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette. She dispensed with her first name as a schoolgirl as she wanted to be known by her surname “comme des garcons”.

My attention has been drawn to this femme fatale as one of her novels has just been made into a film and is to be released shortly. Cheri is the story of a spolied and beautiful boy who has an affair with a retired courtesan (played by Michelle Pfeiffer) who pampers and dominates him. Colette herself outraged society when she had an affair with her 16 year old stepson when she was 47.

She married three times, the first to a Parisian 14 years her senior, whose constant philandering led to a divorce. It was while she was married to him she began her writing and her books were published under his name. When they split up she caused a scandal by embarking on a stage career, which at that time was equivalent to entering a brothel. She also began a five year relationship with a rich lesbian transvestite known as Missy. There was a riot when they performed together at the Moulin Rouge and they kissed. Even more shocking was that she beared her naked breast on stage! She was very beautiful and took endless lovers of both sexes until she met her second husband.

Unfortunately, he was just as promiscuous as her first. He was called up during the First World War and she joined him as a war reporter and volunteered as a nurse. She was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour for her work. Despite her affair with her stepson, she still loved him dearly, although they eventually separated.

When she was approaching 50, she was so distressed at the prospect of ageing that she had a brutal facelift but was still incredibly beautiful - so much so that she was photographed for Vogue.

She met her third husband when she was 52 and he was 35. They lived through the Depression and the Second World War then she began suffering with arthritis and was soon in a wheelchair. She was cared for by her husband until her death in 1954. She had written more than 50 novels. Three years before she died, she attended a premiere of the documentary of her life and at the end she was heard marvelling “What a beautiful life I’ve had. I only wished I’d realised it sooner”. She was given a state funeral, which was highly unusual for a woman at that time.

Now who would I seat next to her at the table? Who would your dinner guests be?
