Sinister: Santa's Little Helper

[Madeleine McNeil]

My darlings,

In a foolish display of bravado I offered my services to Llaura Llew, in her 
guise as Mother Christmas, boss of the Sinister Christmas Gift Exchange. 
Little did I know that she would expect me to dress in tight green garmets, 
prance about, and do her bidding. I look terrible in green!

La Llew is, of course, the Boss, but I will assist with things such as 
holding the cloche hat as the names are drawn, alerting you all to the last 
postal dates, and reassuring you all that money is no object. Llaura never 
says things like this, as she is a slave to the almighty dollar, ever 
fixated on the amount of boys she can bribe to cover themselves in 
chocolate. I, however, as a lowly elf, have more of the common touch.

Do not fear if you are feeling strapped for cash. Sinister is the home of 
the slacking student and the underemployed waster. It's not what you buy, or 
how much you spend, it's the imagination you put into it, and the amount of 
glitter you stick on it. Now is the time to revive your Blue Peter cutting 
and sticking skills! So, don't feel you can't be involved in all the fun if 
you can't afford much. Second hand is the way forward, folks. I, for 
example, am particularly fond of those clocks that one finds for sale in 
charity shops. They never work, they're hideous, but they tell the right 
time twice a day and they make the room look all spangly.

And, of course, you can opt to only send to your country, thus saving on 
postage.

But don't expect me to like, do anything, so don't email me if you want to 
be involved. I am just the comedy sidekick, the one who has to prance in an 
unflattering colour to make the real boss look better. Email the Llew here: 
Lleweth at hotmail.com if you want to be in on the Exchange.

And WHOOT! but isn't How Does It Feel going to be a wonderful night? I'm 
slimming to get into my cordroy mini skirt as we speak. I advise you all to 
come along - not because of chance of seeing me in a miniskirt. It probably 
won't happen, due to the chocolate cravings that overtake a lady in the 
wintertime, but because when I went to HDIF I had a grate time and I think 
others did too. And it will be ace to have a get together at Christmas, so 
we can all get pissed and punch each other just like they do in Eastenders.

Love

Madeleine
