Dangerous Liaisons
July 17, 2006
I went to the Bullring in Brum today and was grinning from ear to ear to see the first Little Black Dress books on the table at the front with all the chicklit. Nearly told a man tidying the shelves but restrained myself.
The last time I went to the romance section, an armed shoplifter was tackled to the ground and arrested. Today we got evacuated from Borders Starbucks because of a ‘sinister’ power failure. Today I asked if I would I get a refund on my cappuccino and a savage looking assistant told me coffee was the last thing I should be thinking about. Cheeky bugger – I can get very menacing without caffeine.
I was there for research purposes, of course, and also to get some shoes ( I am SO shallow) for the Headline 20th anniversary party on Thursday.
The party invitation was stylish, enigmatic and calculated to have any woman squeaking with anxiety.
Dancing, drinks and canapes – OK, that I can do.
7pm-3am – THREE am? Threeeee…….eeeek!
Dress: well.
Um… dress well?
Should I wear my abseiling outfit?

Oooh, sounds like fun! Yikes on the bookstore incidents. Sounds like food for a new book. 🙂
And the man had better give you a refund on the cappuccino!

Dancing!! Most excellent excuse for glam swirly dress to show off Corsican tan. Shoes dependant on type of dancing to be performed. Ahhhh, a party for Headline authors. Envy does not come into this AT ALL. Oh no.
Have a superb time

Oh come on. Name names. We want to know.
It’s called “living vicariously” :o)
