Reading Time

These days my reading is done mostly in front of the screen. Pretty sad I know, but I can read short bits and pieces, and travel all over the world just by clicking through.. I get around, oh yeah - and all without a passport and dodgy airline meals! Beauty mate!

Here are some interesting reads from a mama perspective...

  • I've been an Amanda Peet fan since I saw her in Igby Goes Down. She looked so cool - and hot- waltzing about the screen in tights and jumpers. I wanted to be her with those piercing eyes and big hair. Anyway, this interview is Amanda Peet on vaccinating your child. There was huge furore following this, but it's informative and interesting. Click here for the interview. Click here to watch behind-the scenes of that interview. And here for her response and apology.
  • For Melbourne mamas, click here and you can win tickets to see Justine Clarke perform live. And even if you don't win tix, go, she's worth it - she's fantastic in real-life (as opposed to pretend life).
  • Robyn Barker - of Baby Love fame, wrote a fantastic opinion piece for SMH this week about childcare. She's a smart lady - and pretty well sums up the whole childcare debate here.
  • For an instant injection of style into your day, check out The Sartorialist. I am completely hooked, and big loving Andre Benjamin (aka Andre 3000) - he's always so sharp and witty with his style, and always manages to pull it off. Plus, here's an interview with the style zeitgeist here..
