Photography: Didi by iphone 3

I took this photo of my cherubic kitty, DIDI, with an iphone 3. I didn't do anything fancy, she was sunbaking and I just held the phone in front of her little furry face. I'm impressed with the detail and colour, especially as I had to compress it for the blog and it's still fabulous.

Film Review: BILLY CONNOLLY ON RED CARPET FOR BRAVE

On my way to the red carpet, Australian premiere of Disney PIXAR's new animated film BRAVE, I was blessed with time to spare. The heavens had opened attempting to wash the scum from our streets and as I paused a moment I seemed to be lured into a store by shiny red, ankle high Wellies with a small heel. Red shoes for the red carpet, all sense is abandoned and I make a rash purchase... 'so good for rainy days, gardening and trudging across the English countryside - who knows where they may take me'

I arrive at the red carpet with time to kill, secure a posi and chat to a couple of photographers. Bag Pipes whine desperately and small girls in curly red wigs begin a jig - cute. The kiddies are beaming.

Then suddenly the white haired man himself, BILLY CONNOLLY, has arrived apparently coming from a junket in New Zealand and he's in high spirits, joking to everyone and no one, while posing for photos. He flexes like a body builder and laughs. He talks to himself or to us, I'm not sure, but he's cracking jokes on the run

Fashion: havaianas

Chips? Chocky? A drink perhaps? Maybe a pair of havaianas?

Look, you can buy your thongs from a machine!

I saw this 'thong machine' in a Sydney Mall and later I saw a businessman, fully suited - with briefcase, take his shoe off and check his size. I don't know why I find this funny, but I do.

I remember hearing about a craze in Japan where you could buy undies from a machine, used ones too. They'd pop out in a plastic bag. I wonder how much they cost and whose they were? Bizarre. Is there a whole bunch of people running around knickerless and wondering where their duds went? I guess with the weak economy, you've gotta make your dough where you can, so if you're strapped for cash just whip off those knickers and flog 'em in a machine. But don't wear a short skirt or you may get undesired attention.

When it comes to thongs, I prefer Ipanema's anyway. I like the raised instep for support and some have a little high heel
