Make It A Date: The House Bunny

By vanessa | Published: August 27, 2010

Sometimes when you’re down in the dumps, or having some friends over for an evening of braindead pizza based fun, there’s nothing better than a fluffy comedy to stick on, so may I recommend The House Bunny? The bizarre story of a playmate who is kicked out of the Playboy Mansion on her 27 birthday [...]

HBIC: Stranger Than Fiction?

By vanessa | Published: August 25, 2010

While last week we looked back at the past this time we look sideways in reality and at what could be, rather than what is. Arthur Dent and Trillian (Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy) So they don’t make sweet sweet music in the film, and their relationship in the books is more complicated than a [...]

Make It A Date: X-Files

By vanessa | Published: August 20, 2010

Writing an introduction to The X-Files feels slightly pointless as I don’t think I know anyone who hasn’t at least seen one episode of the insanely long running series. What can I say about Scully that hasn’t been written on a hundred fansites or muttered in the sleep of a million nerds? Scully remains one [...]

HBIC Go Back In Time

By vanessa | Published: August 18, 2010

This week I thought we could slip back in time and forget about the summer slowly drifting away, and instead focus on some stellar couples from the past. Everything was better in the past, men had manners, women wore restrictive garments, civil rights were non-existent, rubbish could be gleefully thrown on the ground, and legally [...]

Sex, Drugs, and Drugs

By vanessa | Published: August 16, 2010

This week I had a startling revelation: coke turns me into a slut. Sadly I wish I’d realised this about a long time ago as I haven’t done coke for almost 2 years. The last time I did it was so boring, uneventful and expensive I just thought to myself “What the fuck did I [...]

Make It A Date: Gidget

By vanessa | Published: August 13, 2010

Although I’ve tried to keep if fairly under wraps I must admit my taste in films and music runs to the cheesy. There are few things that make me happier than watching Lover Come Back or The Girl Can’t Help It for the umpteenth time, and so it is with great joy I am sharing [...]

HBIC Do It Better

By vanessa | Published: August 11, 2010

There has been way too much relationship drama this week in Celebville (Peter Crouch! Fantasia! Rachel Bilson!) so let’s settle in with some couples who are chilling out, relaxing, maxing out cool, shooting some b-ball outside the…. ahem. Sorry about that – let’s just bring on the cute couples shall we? Rihanna and Matt Kemp. [...]

Home Sweet Home

By vanessa | Published: August 10, 2010

Those of you who are unfortunate enough to follow me on twitter will have seen that this weekend my boyfriend and I stayed with my parents in Winchester. It was one of the most stressful weekends of my entire life even though everyone else (including to some extent my boyfriend) enjoyed it. Since my family [...]

Make It A Date: Inglorious Basterds

By vanessa | Published: August 2, 2010

Ever since I was a teenager I’ve had what can only be described as a distasteful interest in the Nazis. Everything about their rule is utterly abhorrent and yet I can’t stop myself from devouring information about them. From feature length depressing documentaries to pulpy comic strips they hold my attention like almost nothing else. [...]
