http://swellmademoiselle.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Figueres. dali-ing around. We woke up bright and early this morning. No. I lie. It was not bright. Early but dark at six o'clock. And quickly we rushed to catch the train for a day-trip to Figueres, famed for being the birth place of Salvador Dali, whose museum that we dashed to see. Inside the Dali Museum. As my hero Liz Lemon once said, "all anyone really wants in life is to sit in peace and eat a sandwich." And that we did. The best sandwich ever was of course filled with the best jamon ever&#...We wa...

Is that the scent of change i smell? Guess who I saw at the polling booth today? I was not going to venture to guess. Pixie lives on the edge of the illustrious seat of Wentworth, where the rich and famous frolic. Wonder if she voted for K-Rudd.". I woke this morning hopefully sensing a change in the air. I considered carefully in the attire that I was to wear on such a momentous day. I was not yet fifteen when J W H. So it came to this long sleeved jumper that I picked up on a recent trip to Shanghai:.

On flb, and how to annoy those like her. FLB, the rotten egg smell that we just can't get rid of in my otherwise semi-harmonious team, has been with us for close to a year now. She is the bane of everyone's existence; the itch that we want to scratch till it bleeds, the psycho dog that we want to put down, the cancerous tumour on which we want to double the dosage of chemo. Very Tall New Guy. Screams over email]: "Fire escape? Very Tall New Guy. Not ready to be outdone]. No wait. I think I can top th...

that swell mademoiselle: day 4: botswana - elephants galore!
http://swellmademoiselle.blogspot.com/2010/05/day-4-botswana-elephants-galore.html
Day 4: botswana - elephants galore! Here's a little confession. That late night at work months ago certainly pushed me into going to Africa, but one of the other inspirations was the HBO/BBC production of "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" starring Jill Scott. From the show, my list of priorities were - visit Botswana, feel the heat of the Kalahari, sip red bush tea and learn how to speak in clicks. Then, a local man walked past Kavango. He asked for a cigarette. Ross, the only smoker on the tr...And t...

that swell mademoiselle: barcelona. and all gaudi'd out
http://swellmademoiselle.blogspot.com/2011/03/barcelona-and-all-gaudid-out.html
Barcelona. and all gaudi'd out. I woke up this morning to B shouting, "Fuck! Shortly after, I realised it was actually eleven, given the time difference between here and England. Gaudi's influence permeates throughout Barcelona. Almost every corner is a bench that does not conform to a straight line, or a building elaborately coloured and mosaic'd. We attempted to see the inside of a few, but bulked at the hefty entrance fees. Mostly, the view from the street more than satisfied the eyes.

Whenever I am home, my mama likes to show me the various things she has bought in the time I have been away. Her ever-changing taste never ceases to amaze me. I got new jeans," she said, proudly showing off a pair of pale blue jeans. They looked innocent enough. Until I noticed the zippers that ran along each side from the waist down to the bottom of the legs. Essentially, my mama bought stripper jeans. Look at the zippers! Things you can do with henna dye. What are you doing? Not severe enough," she sai...

The best mix tape ever! So Polly, when is it your turn? The Delightful Young Man asked while we were out at dinner. He had just flown into Melbourne for work and we caught up on the woes gone by in the past year. Which, namely, for me was my disastrous debut as a bridesmaid in April. My friendship with Bridezilla still hangs by a thread. I think after that episode, I am off weddings in general." I said bluntly. How long has it been now? Surely you think about it? See You do think about it.". And what bet...

that swell mademoiselle: day 3: kruger national park game drive
http://swellmademoiselle.blogspot.com/2010/02/day-3-kruger-national-park-game-drive.html
Day 3: kruger national park game drive. On my way to breakfast this morning, I was greeted by Pumba, one of the many warthogs within the Ilkeley Game Ranch. I cannot imagine a better way to start the day in Africa. Our guide for the day was a local named Alfred. He often introduced himself with, "Hi, I'm Alfred and your guide for your day inside Kruger. As you can see, I am Chinese.". He stopped himself today mid-sentence when his gaze landed on me. Yes, I heckled him with my silent presence.
