Hello all: For goodness sake!One just turns its back say five minutes and the daintiness and demure of the good old days of Sinister seems gone forever.And Mummy seems to have given up on his/her duty of scolding naughty children off and joined the romp,oh well. Discovery of the day:Gap lingerie for kids is all naughty children need.Fantastically twee-but-sexy knickers which won't let you down whether some urge to lift your uniform pleated skirt in the playground rises and fancy just some show off.I have been checking how large was the XL size before recommending to Isobel's,however.Perhaps we should all donate 1.5 pennies each and buy her a pair to lift her spirits about the ruined headscarf,don't we? I insist:Stuart David's leaving has been the BLANK of the year in this list and I still wonder why.Even if the situation was that nobody around here liked him and his quitting was all for good,no claps or cheers were heard either.Just vanished,deleted from our hard disks,swallowed by some big hole in the information autoroutes,chemins de fer et tout ca. If the number of live acts is proportional to the number of Belle and Sebastian members,as the decrease could indicate,minus Isobel we would have a tiny fraction of probability in our favour left...So perhaps it's better to pluck up courage about her swans and angora sweaters and her fantabulous contributions to albums which took the place for the e.g. always in our memory, 'Pocketbook Angel',and so many others we will not mention here but we know which ones they are,there,at home. And do you want to be my bloody VALENTINE?'Breakfast at Tiffany's' is the obliged mid-February treat for lonely hearts in the BFI menu.It would make the perfect date.Get all those big sunglasses and homemade Givenchy copycats out for the occasion.And croissants,of course. On list-based contests: if I were less lazy and more charismatic and less of a lurker as I have been lately,I would go to some TV programme and become a POP star in ten days.No,seriously, I would summon you all to enter an absolutely selfish competition where the best address/phone book designed with some Belle and Sebastian inspiration behind would win the enormous privilege of living in my bag and host my friends and family numbers and adresses,that is.And it would be shown in the most unmissable venues and cocktails and maybe spotted by some fashion enterpreneur who would ask me where I got such an amazing piece and the designer would have made her/his fortune.That is if I finally make it into my dreamt career path, 'philantropist/billonaire'. What would you think Stu could say about some helpful donation to the Scottish Soc.Party?It would be nice,wouldn't it?Or too much fuss?
