Heckler on Fashion
Heckler
Why call centres get my goat
Heckler I WRITE this on behalf of the 3 million Australians who, like me, are fed up trying to have our domestic problems solved by doubtless well-meaning, but culturally challenged, people sitting in small...
Heckler
Slow slide to insensible senescence
Heckler WHEN I was a teenager, a common refrain among my friends was that it would be our worst nightmare to become like our parents.
Heckler
Knowing the times tables obviously so yesterday
Heckler I GO to a gym for my daily constitutional. I love it – lots of mature women like me, trying to compensate for years of now-abandoned bad habits taken up when young and seemingly invincible.
Heckler
And, still the truth goes up in smoke
Heckler IN THREE weeks' time, cigarette inspectors will start patrolling stores to make sure shelves are lined with drab green boxes.
Heckler
Hard to keep abreast of all the fashions
Heckler IT IS perhaps unsurprising that men's magazines are breast-obsessed (and give these ''lady lumps'' so many different monikers that Urban Dictionary should be kept at the ready).
Heckler
New Google offering has my mind boggling
Heckler I READ the other day that Google have invented ''Google glasses''. They are like spectacle frames with built-in smart things like cameras, microphones, communication systems, computing power and a...
Heckler
Real estate and the art of number crunching
Heckler ''I AM agent, hear me roar!'' Yes, I am a real estate agent, and I am proud - a motivated professional with the stuck-on smile, the suit and tie, and requisite BMW.
Heckler
Toddlers all dressed up in their shrilling best
Heckler EVERY now and then someone of considerable rank in the fashion industry tells us that the more effort we put into our outfits, the happier we'll be.
Heckler
Ignoring the unwed childless is singly low
Heckler EVERY federal budget night I'm reminded that the penalty for neither procreating nor partnering up is to be ignored by all political parties, be they left, right or in-between.
Heckler
Whatever happened to service with a smile?
Heckler SO I walk into this well-known menswear store - but like a criminal, or an unfaithful husband returning to his wife and home with glaring fuchsia lipstick on his white collar.
Heckler
Men, stand up for your right to sit
Heckler WE COME in all age groups: young, middle-aged, senior. We are baby-nursing, child-minding or half of a partnership. We want to be happy. We want our female better halves to be very happy.
Heckler
Not much cause for a tea party
Heckler IT'S TEA, people. It's not rocket science or brain surgery, not even as hard as getting all your media outlets sorted together on one remote control.
Heckler
Brutalised by our bras
Heckler Instead of ban the burqa, I say ban the bra. As far as I'm concerned the brassiere is a far worse symbol of female repression than the burqa.
Heckler
Don't dump on my kerb
Heckler As I walk the streets, there is nothing quite like spring in Sydney. Jasmine lazily breathes its mystic scent over the garden walls. Jacarandas hint at their promise of purple joy.
Heckler
Follicular faux pas
Heckler I HAD an interesting discussion at the pub the other day when my friend speculated on what made men look old. His theory was, in order, hair loss and/or greying, weight gain and bags under the eyes.
Heckler
Getting the wrong end of the stick
Heckler Until recently I thought there were a limited number of types in this world - you know, leg men, boob men, bum women, and so forth. But I've started noticing a new type: stick men ... and women.
Heckler
Pull the wool over my eyes
Heckler SYDNEY, you have been exposed. I mean this literally. From pillar to lamp post, everywhere I look I see the fine citizens of this harbour city hopelessly underdressed for the biting winter weather...
Heckler
Putting us in the shade
Heckler IT'S winter and it's raining; the sun, slow to rise, is setting faster than a NSW politician's career.
Heckler
Just chill, it'll break the ice
Heckler PERHAPS it's the return of the cardigan, but something is to blame for the grumpiness gripping Sydney's young men.
