How many of us can get away with looking like Elle MacPherson on the daily school run…? would you dare to do the ripped-jeans look and be confident of carrying it off as you walk into the playground? surprisingly some women would think so and you only have to see the way some women are decked out just for the purpose of collecting the kids from school in the afternoons to know this.

I collect the boys every afternoon and one thing I notice is that some women are definitely vying for the Most-Fashionable-Mum trophy and even this bitterly cold weather does not seem to dampen their efforts to out-do each other. One very determined Mum never, ever turns up at the school in anything other than a) a mini skirt, stockings and black stilletto boots…or b) hot pants, stockings and black stilletto boots. I get frostbite just looking at her! what is she trying to prove…?

Then there is another Mum who must have the clothes budget of Coleen Rooney because to date she has never worn the same outfit twice – and has a different handbag for each day of the week and toddles in on heels so ridiculously high that I would get vertigo if they were on my feet – I wondered how on earth she worked all day in them until one afternoon I saw her parked around the corner of the school and saw her slipping off her ‘sensible’ shoes and slipping on the killer heels before parading into the playground in them (I do supervisory duties in the playground at lunchtimes and notice her child is not as fashionably turned out as she is -  the poor kid never has a warm jumper to wear…)

But my partner saw a sight the other week when it was his turn to do the afternoon-run that must take the medal so far – a Mum in black, shiny rubber trousers (yes, rubber) and glittery disco top in minus temperatures. That does it, tomorrow I get out my Tina-Turner leopard prints and off I go!

You read about them, you see their pictures in all the glossies and newspapers…but you often ask yourself – what the hell do they do…? what are they famous FOR??

Well I certainly and I have made a list of some of these very people who seem to be everywhere, with everyone and frankly…WHY!

Alexa Chung (left): I had to list this woman first because I cannot figure her out at all. Strange name, strange looking,  and the most awkward  posture I have ever seen – she always looks like she is busting to have a wee. Someone teach this person the art of leg-placement please!

The Geldof Sisters: You have to place these two – Peaches and Pixie (they sound like cabbage patch dolls…) – together because they appear to work as a double act. They don’t seem to work, get invited to everything, look totally miserable, annoy a lot of people and – oh yes – their father is ‘Saint Bob’ Geldof. Fame by association yes – but I wonder what will happen when they age and their perma-sad faces show some wear and tear…the media should be ashamed of it’s collective self for convincing these two that they mean anything to the population…

Any female housemate from Big Brother: Enough said – can anybody DO something about Michelle Bass…?

Kelly Osborne: Sorry, but I still cannot work her out. I like Ozzy for sure, but after all her stints in rehab…what else does she DO!

And…

Nicola McLean: Your guess is as good as mine. Googles herself obsessively (well, we all need a hobby – HI! ), has landed herself a footballer husband so is set for life financially – must have been the two silicone footballs inserted in her chest that he found attractive. Likes to stir Katie Price and emulate alter-ego Jordan but ain’t in the league.Wow – three lines written about her…is this a record for Nicol…Nicole…Nicoli…NICOLA! (phew, I knew I’d get it eventually)

Pointless celebrities, pointless people, pointless…like this article. Feel free to add some more…

Whilst doing some research for a diet pill reviews reviews recently (which involved visiting some health food outlets) I came across in my travels a product which just has to be the answer to every woman’s dream…Bochox!

Yes. This miracle-in-a-box comes without any need for a prescription and is designed to make you feel good on the inside so that you shine on the outside!

Bear in mind though that the formula is quite strong – a little goes a long way – but the great thing is you can indulge to your hearts content in the privacy of your own home and nobody will even know that you have had some…

This Bochox will help you to eliminate all those cravings for chocolate by simply taking a small amount whenever you feel the need – and for most of us girls that’s an every day thing.
