I am a working girl

Hum, not really, but soon I hope... This afternoon I went to Old Street for an interview with a "forecasting company". I got this interview thanks to C. who put me in contact with a recruitement agency last week. They had thought of a possible job for her. However, C. having decided to go back to Stockholm a few months ago (leaving me feeling ever so lonely:  "come back to me" C.!) said she wasn't interested but that her good old friend E. still in funky London town might be. So, here I was being interviewed by a nice Scottish man when he suddenly asked: "Do you watch TV?". I answered "Yes...", but the truth is I don't have a TV here in London so...well, I don't watch any really! Anyway, he then asked if I watched Mad Men... (Yes, interesting interview). I triumphally replied that I did. Indeed, these days you just need Sidereel on a computer to live happily ever after. He was wondering what I thought of Don Draper's wife, what she represented and all. I just said that she represented the white middle class female of the sixties. The oppressed wife who listens and obeys to every single desire/order her cold husband has and takes care of the kids. (I was not convinced of my own "analysis"...not very deep!) He said that she represented the "good gone bad" blablabla... This just made me realize, that C., bigger Mad Men fan than me, would have totally excelled at this interview. Moral of the story: C. should come back to London, plenty of perfect jobs for her here.

The Academy Awards 2011 - What a SNOOZEFEST!

Finally I have the channel that sends the Oscars, so I fortify myself to sit up till 6 am!

Most. Boring. Oscars. Ever.  The Academy chose James Franco and Anne Hathaway to host the Oscars in order to bring in a younger audience; I have no idea if that worked, probably...but there was no chemistry...NO chemistry.

I even watched the two-hour long red carpet bit, there was a lot of Baywatch dresses going on!  My favourite however was Mila Kunis dress, utterly stunning!
What was your favourite dress?

Funny fact - the annoying Swedish commentators Filip and Fredrik (who generally contributed with crude, rude and lewd comments - only allowed in Swedish television it seems), mentioned that after Libya, Sweden is the country where the least amount of people follow the Oscars (of the countries that broadcast it.)

The Look

I've got the hair colour down pat, now just need someone to bite me in the neck and carry me like a newborn kitten into the lap of a news agency and tell me, do your thing - so I can get my hands on these leather lovlies.  Anyone have any journalist job offers?
