I am every kind of sad that the amazing talent that was Cyd Charisse has died of a heart attack. Sad days.
Cyd Charisse, who brought sizzle and sophistication to dance in classic movie musicals such as Singin’ in the Rain and Band Wagon was a total hottie and owned the screen in every scene.
Charisse captured moviegoers’ attention in a quick succession of films, starting with the now infamous Singin’ in the Rain in 1952, in which she partnered with dancer and super-hot actor of the time, Gene Kelly in a steamy ballet.
Go rent yourself the movie right now and sigh at her beauty, tip-tap around your living room and sing at the top of your voice - I think Cyd would have liked that!

Uber-cool author girl, Sarra Manning has created a brand spankin’ new series about four models/celebrities who share a flat in London.
The first book, Laura, is all about the winner of reality TV show Make Me a Model.
Laura thinks that by being pretty damn gorgeous and beating over 12,000 girls to get onto Fierce’s modelling books she will gain insta-access to a super-cool modelling career, turns out, not so much.
Her friends and boyfriend aren’t being as understanding as she’d like, her new flatmates are crazy for fame and her booker thinks she’s too fat.
Pretty soon, Laura stands to lose everything (except possibly weight…)
I’m so freakin’ excited!

Francesca Lia Block is a total hero girl of mine.
She is the creator of my favourite character in all of fictionville, Weetzie Bat.

Her creator, Francesca Lia Block, is a sorceress of words, writing modern fairy tales with an edge. She has written a LOT of books, my favourites include: Girl Godess number 9, Violet and Claire and I was a Teenage Fairy, and if you hadn’t noticed yet, I heart FLB x 1000 which is why my belly is filled with flutterby excitement that she has come to play in the world o’ pink…

So…what’s rockin’ your world, Amy Davis?

Bettyjoy.
