Compensation
2007-09-25 09:26:00
Leaving the office a little early last Friday, I catch a bus to Piccadilly. In the fifth floor bar of Waterstones, I meet Miss Lit Agent for the first time. Over a drink, I answer all her questions, and ask a couple of my own. I like her, I mean really, genuinely like her, and I keep forgetting this is a business meeting of sorts, just wanting to chat with her and enjoy her company. She’s a good ...

Blimey

So, I, er, appear to have got myself a literary agent... Bit gobsmacked actually. And, if I'm honest, a little embarrassed. Silly, I know, but success has always been such a double-edged sword for me; I am usually ambivalent about it at best, and at worst, ashamed. I've sat with it all weekend. I'm trying to own it, own what it means - that someone whose job it is to get books published by ...

Woman's Woman, Man's Girl
2007-09-21 15:36:00
If someone says you’re built like a Robert Crumb woman, that’s a compliment, right? He qualified it by saying that I went ‘in and out in the right places’ and he’s a good bloke, if prone to tactlessness. Big meeting yesterday; exhausting. Wore cute black dress that revealed a goodly amount of cleavage, teamed with kooky earrings, purple tights and cute black Mary-Janes, an outfit to please both ...

Say My Name
2007-09-20 05:26:00
Bad Puss. Tsk. I am behind on my blogging so sorry to all you I’ve neglected this week. I’ll drop by as soon as I can, promise. I also forgot to do this meme that the Lady Thinker tagged me with. It’s called the ‘Name Game’ apparently, and I’m supposed to include the rules. Here are the rules: “Players must list one fact, word, or tidbit that is somehow relevant to their life for each letter of ...

I Smell...
2007-09-19 09:24:00
Fabulous. Truly fabulous. Go on, sniff me. Take a deep breath. Mmmm, fabulous, I’m sure you agree. That, my friends, is the scent of a woman wearing her favourite perfume (Caron’s Narcisse Noir), a bottle of which traversed the ocean and arrived, this morning on my desk, an extraordinary and generous gift from a beloved friend. In addition, The Admirer sent more poems; Rapture, by Carol Ann ...

EDW: Miss AP’s Minxy Adventures
2007-09-19 06:43:00
Falling down the stairs this morning, I had a brief moment in which to consider the ignominy of breaking my neck, on Elegantly Dressed Wednesday no less, whilst dressed in a purple nightie, spotty pyjama bottoms, an ugly but warm fleece (it’s cold in Chez Glamour), and a pair of slippers I nicked from the Wynn. Lucky for me then that my neck remained intact. However, the jury’s out on my elbow, ...

Ouch!

Migraine. Back soon. Promise. In the interim, sorry for lack of reading and writing. ...

Ambitious

‘Climb that rope.’ said Alex. I tried giving him a look but was too out of breath, having run on the spot on a crash mat, windmilling my arms like a five-year-old on Kia Ora for the last five minutes. So, puffing and sweating, I ascended the rope as requested, reaching the top, some fifteen feet or so up, then controlling my descent, one hand over the other as I had been taught to do. ‘Good.’ ...

Careful
2007-09-13 05:39:00
A slim volume arrives, poems from him to me, a note, a gesture; I am touched. We talk into the night, sharing books, opinions, cares. But for all the commonality, all the ease, I am afraid. Life is never that simple. ...

EDW: Shoe Who?
2007-09-12 07:00:00
Manners may maketh the man, but shoes maketh the outfit. Since acquiring a delectable pair of pink velvet lovelies on Saturday, I have been thinking about footwear. Actually, who am I kidding? I’m always thinking about footwear! When pole dancing, I usually wear something slutty like this: But a lot of my pole fitness colleagues prefer to wear jazz dance trainers like this (blech):Which I cannot ...

Ask Aunty Puss
2007-09-11 07:29:00
It seems that a number of visitors arrive here by way of a search engine. I’ve posted before on the general level of perversity of these searches, but recently, I’ve noticed a lot of visitors are asking questions. When feeling virtuous, I always think I’ll update the Glamourpuss Guide To Pole Dancing with the answers to these (pole-related) questions, but then I remember I have a life and it’s ...

Grace
2007-09-10 11:09:00
When I got back to Chez Glamour on Friday night, the sense of utter exhaustion was overwhelming. The stress of those situations I briefly explained last week exacted its price and a thorough weariness of body and spirit was the forfeit. I began to have doubts, about my judgement, about the point of it all, and about the best route out of the swamp. Beaten, I went to bed, sleeping twelve hours and ...

The Unspeakable Pursuing The Edible
2007-09-07 06:24:00
The day I first heard the word ‘feisty’ remains vivid in my memory; I was eight years old and standing shame-faced in the Headmaster’s study, having smacked the crap out of two boys who thought it fun to try and ambush me as I walked home from school the previous evening. The word puzzled me, for I did not know what it meant, but I realised it was not a compliment when applied to a little girl. ...

The Totality Of Possibility
2007-09-06 11:02:00
Funny old thing this universe; just as you’re holding your head in your hands embracing the doom, jolly things start to happen. Aside from all your heartening offers of support and trans-Atlantic care packages, I came in to work yesterday to find I’d been bought a bacon sandwich for breakfast. Then, current admirer emailed offering to either pay for my flight to NYC, or to buy me that wonderful ...

EDW: I Want To Be A Part Of It
2007-09-05 07:44:00
New York, New York; it’s a wonderful town. I love New York. Seriously – I could happily live there. Been thinking I need to visit it again for a while now – not least because of the MIRL possibilities. So imagine my delight when The Pink Pound called to invite me to accompany him there in November. Flights are cheap, and he’s happy to pay the lion’s share of the accommodation if we share a room. ...
