			<description>Just to let you all know that in January 2010 Mattel is launching some dolls in the US called &quot;Ladies of the 80's&quot; which so far includes, Debbie Harry, Joan Jett and Cyndi Lauper. They have said they won't do a Madonna since she's &quot;too controversial&quot; - even after apparently, Madonna asked them to. This is Mattel, maker of Barbie.



Madonna has said she'll do her own, but I really think it's unfair...Madonna deserves a place amongst 80's divas - obviously!, as does Cyndi  ...</description>

I have to say I do, especially Snifters. Reminds me of years ago going to the movies. Thank God Jaffas are staying - I would petition Jaffas and Pineapple Lumps going!!



I was &quot;over joyed&quot; that Joy Bars were bought back - loved them as a child - and when we moved to Australia couldn't buy them. Also love Pinky Bars, Buzz Bars and L&amp;P as unique kiwi items. (My &quot;Aussie&quot; nephew, Stephen has a thing for Pinky bars and buys them  ...</description>

I have a movie I gotta make. Admittedly, its a cartoon, so I don't have any diva actors or writers strikes, but poking a kakapo into position by hand really isn't as excitingly sexy as it initially seems.



I have a shipping container that needs turning into art. Or to put it another way: I have a set of desk drawers ripped apart and turned into a model of a fountain, and I need to display it in a shipping container so that it has a theme, artistic  ...</description>

We snuck into the construction site of a new shopping complex near our house and left silly post it notes everywhere! LOL



Hope it doesn't rain and they get smeared!



They said silly things like; 



&quot;This bolt needs to be replaced with a 6 inch twistabit perlaconvector screw&quot; (we made that up lol)



&quot;This frame looks terrible. Take it down and start again.&quot;

I am on the Adventurer Plan $59.99 for 10 gigs and apparently this is going to increase to...20gigs!

I hope this is true, god, I am so sick of getting throttled back to dialup for the last week or two of every month. We were thinking of paying the disconnect fee and going with another provider, but if this free increase is true- woohoo, staying put!]]></description>

Especially love the tracks; Sun Shines Through Your Love and Rollerskate Jam.



I heard the album playing in Real Groovy the other week and my partner and I were so certain it was Flight of the Conchords, but the lyrics weren't crass or ridiculous. 



Great album though, very catchy and awesome throwback to 70's soul/funk.

			<description>Had a belated sleepover party for Miss 12, so we had 3 12yr olds sleepover last night... god, were we that raucous when we were that age?! 



The poor cats have only just returned, they took off when 6 pairs of hands smothered them with hugs, kisses and attempts to outfit them in party hats. 



The giggling and squealing has left me with a ringing in my ears. Think I might have a nap today before I get into my emails and catch up on everything. 



What a weekend! </description>

Def Leppard's Hysteria is my favourite album after all of Madonna's. 

I've recently gotten into Jazz, Stacey Kent, Chet Baker, Dany Brillant, Stan Getz. 

I've only just gotten &quot;The Girl From Ipanema&quot; song out of my system, played it for 2 weeks straight, and got hubby and daughter hooked on it too. Slowly getting into Bossanova as well.
