I cosset my #wrath; feed it, nurture it, watch it swell and darken like a ripening plum. When the moment is right I’ll set it free to wreak havoc. I will seek vengeance, I will have my justice. Or I might just put the kettle on instead…#vss365

Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder. What’s #exquisite to one person is anathema to another. Personally my favourite view is anywhere in the world, as long as a slice of chocolate cake and a flat white feature in the foreground. #vss365

There are days when my hair behaves itself but they are few and far between. I wake up doing an impression of a demented pineapple, and in a high wind look like I’ve crawled from a #shipwreck. ‘You’re lucky to have thick, wavy hair’. It’s like living under a small wombat. vss365

‘I don’t see why everything has to be so noisy just so I can look my best,’ says #BigAlice. ‘Moaning mascara, ear-splitting eyeshadow, loudmouth lippy, piercing pencil- all this is glamour?’ ‘No, Al’ I say, removing her earmuffs. ‘You got confused. All this is #clamor’. vss365

‘I wish I knew what #velleity/meant. I mean, I know my vocabulary is only average, but it’s a good musical word.’ ‘You could look it up, Roz.’ ‘Yeah, I guess, but frankly I can’t be arsed… pour me another coffee would you?’ ‘What did your last slave die from?’ ‘Ecstasy.’ #vss365

#BigAlice is looking very pleased with herself, admiring her face from different angles in the mirror; hair up, hair down, smiling, pouting. “LongJohn says I’m picturesque.” “Alice, I think you’ll find he said #picaresque.” “Is that good?” “Yeah, I reckon so.” #vss365
