    She ;) hasn't the temperament for it pastures.


    Dog dog or kiwi do though. The dog modelling people tend to be very over subscribed. Dh's cousin, (one of the many) we learned in the near years phone call is going to be a model.

    I could be a model ... if only I were taller, slimmer, toned, gorgeous, younger. I've been younger before, but all that other stuff was out of my grasp :)

    Ah - and that reminds me. I have a burning question that NPs might be able to answer.... or it might be FC123 territory.

    There's an annoying TV advert, that I don't understand. Over Xmas it came on and my sibling has no idea either what it means.

    It's the Christian Dior ad - blond model runs in late, sprays on perfurme, goes out on the catwalk.

    What's that all about?

    Here it is on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXrWiJcmvBI

    No one knows what those adverts are about, but pointless perfume adverts are an integral art of Christmas viewing.

    Arty camera shots, ladies flouncing in sheer fabrics, whispering in French and spraying perfume. It's supposed to allude to this wonderful life that only those who wear designer perfumes can achieve - either because that's how the super rich are supposed to live, or they're hallucinating, having accidentally drunk the perfume.

    Who knows :confused:
    Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

    You pick the flounces woman you most want to be like, the one ' you identify with' and buy that smell if you are undecided.

    If you are a man you pick the flouncy woman you think your gf/wife most wants to be like and pack your bags and wait nervously while its unwrapped.

    Perfume adverts are better than gocompare adverts.

    And gocompare is better than that guy carrying Mr Mucus about with him all day.

    Oh, totally not meant that way. Here, remember, dogs and cats rank equal with people.

    I don't want to be like any of the flouncy women - which is probably why my perfume cost £5/bottle and was my Xmas present in 2009 (or 2008).

    In the past I've had a total of 3-4 "posh perfumes", they're nice, but hard to justify spending £30/year on a bottle of perfume.

    First posh perfume I ever had (didn't know posh perfume existed before I was given some), was an 18th birthday present from a rich girl. It was Azuree by Estee Lauder. That's nice.

    Then I had Poison 2-3x for Xmas/birthday from family.

    My sibling gifted me a half finished bottle of a Paul Smith perfume (stripey box) about 8-9 years ago; that was my last posh perfume.

    All nice.

    Crikey, if it were my bra there would be one tree on the poor struggling plate :o:rotfl:

    Am I missing something, more to the point have you lost something along life's way?
