Men In Skirts...

Advantages: Great set pieces, battles, vistas etc.
Disadvantages: Girls, get a grip! It's just Braveheart in Rome!

...? Well, alright. But it'd better make a heap of money... Hmmm. Maybe I'm just being cynical. Everyone tells me that this is a rip-roaring period piece with romance, revenge, huge battles, loss, and hunky men in skirts. Starting to sound familiar? TOLD YOU SO. The battles, the moody lip tremors, the unquenchable revenge against a tyrannical establishment, even the skirts. Ridley's been doing his homework. Having said all that, Gladiator is indeed a marvellous way to kill a couple of hours. It truly impresses, from the flyover of ancient Rome to the gladiatorial contests; there are some stunning set pieces. Crowe is engaging and believable, a genuinely fine actor (LA Confidential etc,) and deserves his praise. But Oscar winning direction? The names sound like Life Of Brian. MAXIMUS was really the best they could come up with? I could have...

Review of Gladiator (DVD)

Is skirt off sick Jones

Advantages: The cast, the soundtrack etc etc
Disadvantages: None

...of whom says the F word rather a lot but its very funny so can be excused and one is a gay man who once had a one hit wonder in the eighties. Near the beginning of the film she starts passing emails to Daniel Cleaver because of what he calls "her non existent skirt" this is actually a very memorable part of the film. Likewise the fight scene on her birthday, hilarious! Other truly side splitting scenes include the Blue soup one (you'll have to watch it to find out about that) and the big granny knickers one (again you must watch to see what I mean) and there are lots of others. All the way through this film, which is a year in Bridget's life she worries about her weight, job, calories eaten, alcohol consumed and cigarettes smoked. She also worries about her single status. This film is along the lines of Notting Hill and Four Weddings...

Skirted-Men of Shark Reef

Advantages: Story, nice location
Disadvantages: Where were the she-gods?

...She-Gods of Shark Reef is a Roger Corman film from 1958. Corman being a famous director of low-budget horror films The Little Shop of Horrors perhaps being his best known. This film starts off with one of our main characters Jim and his turbaned sidekick stealthily manoeuvring around a docks, taking out guards and stealing guns. Quite a scuffle takes place and Jim has to escape. His brother Chris helps him escape on his boat and whilst out at sea the two run into a storm and their ship is wrecked. However, they are saved by a young woman, Mahia, she saves them from a shark, deftly killing it with a knife and with the help of others she takes them to shore.

Advantages: children like it
Disadvantages: ?

...EARLY LEARNING CENTRE FLOWER FAIRY SKIRT. Every little girl wants to be a fairy at sometime in her life all pretty and dainty. Dressing up is fun pretending to be someone we are not. Isn't it a bit true of all of us even if we are grown up don't we like top dress up to go out to look our best?

Purchasing a Denim Skirt

Advantages: ordering on-line is quicker and more effective and also easy to access to the site
Disadvantages: When ordering a product having to pay p&p charge on top of the product price.

...I looked through the Argos Additions site and noticed a product that I liked and I thought it would be nice to purchase the item for the summer months. It was the Demin Skirt which is ankle length and has frilled edges down the front and at the bottom. It also has a added belt at the front which under that is the zip fasning when putting on the garment. It gives you plenty of room to move when wearing I found waering the skirt myself very comfortable. It is reasonably priced and it is in sizes from 8 to 16. The colour is nice also a stone wash colour (light blue) with white frilling along the skirt. I found theargos additions web site easy to use , For items which you wish to have the site will take you straight there. Also there is search box if you are struggling to find what you are looking for. they also provide help...

Bullies, Festivities, and Really Short Skirts

Advantages: I will be happy!
Disadvantages: Chances are, some of you won't be.

...'t I hate it when an absolute reject thinks they are cool. I will be the first to admit that I am not the biggest social animal in the world, but when someone who has never even heard of the word "Party" calls me a reject, it annoys me. How can someone who prefers to spend time mocking people with as much social status as Peter Stringfellow possibly consider themselves cool? Grr! 5) Girls who think they are good looking, so dress so slutty it would make a prostitute cringe Ewww.... there are some butt rough people in the world. I believe strongly that personality is more important than looks, but when somebody who is wider than they are tall and has flabs hanging off of them wears a skirt smaller than most belts, it makes me feel sick. Noone wants to see your belly hanging out of your skirt! Put some clothes on! Please! No, you did not...

Dharam Veer - Camp Guys in Tights and Mini-Skirts

Advantages: Light-hearted entertainment
Disadvantages: Story hard to stomach, acting rather dodgy...

...meeting our two heroines. Dharam pairs up with Princess Pallavi and Veer pairs up with gipsy Roopa, just to complicate things further. Will the evil royal uncle get his way? Will the two friends realise they are twin brothers? Will I get over the shock of seeing Dharmendra in a mini-skirt throughout this film? WHAT DID I MAKE OF IT ALL? Well the acting in this film made me chuckle, I don?t recall laughing so much at this film when I first saw it in the 80s but the acting came across as really camp when I watched this again recently. I have no idea why they thought it would make any kind of sense to put a big butch guy like Dharmendra in a mini-skirt throughout this film. We don?t know when the film is supposed to be set but it?s in an era before cars and fashion obviously. It really was not pleasant to see chunky thighed Dharmendra...

Light up skirt Barbie doll

Advantages: A beautiful doll for the collection
Disadvantages: Doesn't tell you what batteries it takes.

...wanting to play with it. The doll comes with the cat Jetty, Genevieve's best friend and is on a rope hanger so you can hang it on things, its not your usual small, thin plastic toy that you get as an added extra, it is quite tough and a fair size. This Barbie takes batteries, which the compartment is on the inside of both legs and can be opened with a very small screwdriver and takes AAA batteries, I tell you this as it does not explain this on the box, so like most people at Christmas we didn't have the right batteries and had to take them out of another toy just to make sure it worked, then go out and buy some :( I found this a bit annoying as most toys now a days comes with batteries or at least tells you, so be warned, if you buy this make sure you get some batteries. The reason this barbie takes batteries is the skirt lights up...

Micro-Pill and Mini Skirts

Advantages: Haven't become pregnant yet!
Disadvantages: The "scares" mentionned in the Press

...opinion as a consumer so won't go into the heavy medical stuff! ********************************** MY EXPERIENCE I've been taking Mecilon for the last five years, with a break in 2001 following a "blood-clot scare" in the national press, when low-dosage pills were said to increase the risk of deep-vein thrombosis. After discussing the matter with a doctor, I decided the risks were minimal compared to the advantages of Mecilon. I am very happy with it as I find that high doses of Oestrogen make me feel depressed, and Mercilon contains a very low dose of this hormone. I have tried other pills before and this one is the only one that works for me. I assure you that I have never become pregnant, and haven't noticed any side effects. No weight gain, no mood swings, nothing! So can wear mini-skirts ( not that I do! ), charm the boys...

☼ Meindl High Boots & Short Skirt ☼

Advantages: Waterproof, well constructed
Disadvantages: Bit stiff at first

...woman of the Fells and I should stop here and leave you with this impression. However, never being a woman who likes to mislead, I should perhaps add here that the reason I chose the blue boots over the brown is that they go well with denim. All walkers know you should never wear jeans for walking as they retain water and make you feel cold. I have to own up here that I am a fair weather walker. We only go walking when the weather looks good. If en route, we see cloud in the area we are heading for, we will often change direction and head for the sunnier spot. Who wants to walk in the rain? Not me. I don?t really like doing steep climbs either since there are nicer ways of making your heart race. Generally we do reasonably challenging walks that the kids can manage but that are away from the crowds. I also like to walk in a short skirt...
