It Begins Again

And it seems only yesterday we were all worrying about the Millennium bug.

We don't usually stay up for the New Year but we did this time. We were watching a show about the 100 most annoying people of 2008. The winner- if that's the right word- beating the likes of Peaches Geldorf, Calum Best and Heather Mills McCartney- talentless nobodies with a link to a deservedly famous person- was a woman I'd never heard of called Agyness Deyn. She's a model. Apart from the name (which was constructed for her by a numerologist- apparently the two y's are really, really lucky) she seems entirely blameless. Ailz suggested women hate her for being beautiful.



There were drunks on the street in the small hours, venting and lamenting. They went on and on and on. Do drunks not feel the cold? 
 
My New year's resolution (no-one actually expects you to keep these things, do they?) is to take up painting again.

It might be beauty, but she is certainly not making the most of it. Also, I do not understand why a (beautiful) woman would want to be a "boy".
As a gay male friend of mine maintains: "Why would I want to be with a female impersonator when it is males I like? If I wanted a woman I would be with women!" I believe that same idea holds true for the female.
My idea of gay female beauty is the TV star Ellen DeGeneres - she is always herself, does not attempt to be anything else, and she is truly a beautiful person, inside and out. I told one of my gay male friends that if I were a lesbian, Ellen would be my ideal. Since I am not, handsome Harrison Ford is my film hero.
And yes, please please do start painting again!

Well, there's no accounting for sexual taste. and in Agyness's defence I have to point out that I chose the most androgynous picture on offer. She doesn't always dress like a boy.

I like gay women- more fool me- and married one first time round.

I've always thought Ellen Degeneres is beautiful. And fun, and interesting, and intelligent.
