State of Affairs

An old boyfriend of mine had a funny way of judging women. He’d peer into their handbags. “State of her purse equals state of her bush,” he’d singsong.

While he was a total prat, the theory does make sense. If you are anal enough to clean out your bag every day, you’re probably organised enough to book monthly Brazilians.

I, personally, have a standing Saturday appointment at the local salon. My handbag, on the other hand, has about seven different kinds of currency knocking about beneath lipstick-kissed Tesco receipts from 2002, half empty cigarette packs, a few magazines, three pairs of sunglasses, a jumper and at least six lighters that I can never find when I need them, so clearly I’m the exception to the rule. Anything to prove that man wrong.

As someone who can rarely be bothered to iron her dress, but makes time for three layers of moisturisation every morning, I’m thrilled with the new site everythingunderthedress.com. With products ranging from Fashion First Aid to Holistic Silk, the website carries a range of cult beauty products, lingerie, wellness and fragrance products. Perfect for product junkies and lingerie addicts.

And the men who love them.

To celebrate the launch of everythingunderthedress.com, they're offering a special discount offer for all our lovely Urban Junkies subscribers. Just enter the promotional code UJPR01 for a 15% reduction on anything you buy before October 31.

That guy has a shit theory. People may not understand me, but Like EC, my bag is a right mess and a time capsule. I avoid wearing silk blouses so I don't have to iron. Among other domestic crimes, like all the accumulated newspapers and magazines all over the floor and on every chair, and piled up recycling because I couldn't be bothered to separate it yet (and I am also embarasssed by the amount of wine bottles) I would say that pampering myself is the only real routine I've got, no matter how late I am. Since I know I am a busy girl, I've had laser hair removal done, coincidentally in Brazil. But even back in the day I wouldn't miss a wax. I know people leading tidy lives that don't even always have smooth legs, let alone other areas. So there!

  • Touching

    Hallmark moments are hard to come by these days. Which is why it’s time to celebrate more than just the special occasions in life. Try out this new service for free.

  • Incommunicado

    Give me a bottle of wine, a best friend, a packet of Silkcuts and a personal crisis, and I'll talk the hind legs off a horse. But ordinary conversations are an awkward business.

     

  • Growing Pains

    When I look at photos from my early puberty, I always try to wipe off the faint smudge on my adolescent upper lip. Until I realize that it was my feeble attempt at growing a moustache.

  • Bare Facts

    Sex has always been a touchy issue between the genders. We know we are supposed to be doing it - but this British insistence on being polite seems to constantly get in the way.

  • Nightmare

    I can tell the changing of the seasons by the fact I get the same reoccurring nightmare. Not one filled with goblins and ghouls, but a terrible dream about forgetting Hallowe'en. And nothing on God’s green Earth would be worse.
