Hi there crew!

It’s been a looooooooooooooong time between posts and for that I am more sorry than if I coloured your hair periwinkle. Truth is, I’ve been really crazy busy - losing my mind, finding it again, attending lots of fun launches, making sure our beauty pages are fully loaded with only the best booty and then losing my mind all over again...

Unless you've been sleeping under a rock this weekend, you'll be aware that 31 bushfires are taking lives, homes and a whole heap of faith from Victorians. And that's not to mention the fire devastation here in NSW.

This week, our fab work experience student, Liberty, is blogging for you straight from her DOLLY desk about a matter close to her heart: p-p-p-p-p-primer! You see, this stuff helps your make-up stay on all day long. Let's read about it from Miss Primer 2009 herself…

Ahoy readers of the sea! Well, Christmas and New Years have come and gone and plonk I'm back at my desk. Just like that. Nice to have met you endless sleep-ins and lazy arvos by the beach. Sayonara natural sea-salt waves and timely coconut body scrubs. But just because I was on holidays, didn't mean I was off beauty duty...

Dear oh dear! It's just outta control that I’m already at the last week of work! Can’t complain though because I have a whole month of holidays to look forward to! *cue fireworks* Ohhhh the sheer fun that will be had!

In my experience, when you're forced to take the train to work every day, your emotional range is about as wide as Miley Cirus's smile (which we all know, is extremely large!). In between the crowds and a lack of air-con, a gal can do, and think, some crazy things.

Woah, it's been so mad lately. Which is why I've been rather absent from this blog. Slap of the hand for me. Yep, life's been loco lately: having coffee with Aerin Lauder, shopping down Pitt Street with Napoleon himself...

Happy Cup week to you! Clink, clink. Cheers-ing you virtually at least!

So, Schick know you guys are a bit design-savvy, yes, yes some more than others (I did see that drawing you did of me Petunia from Hawthorn, VIC and it was NOT flattering!) But anyway, for all of you (except Petunia) there's this rad competition called Schick Design Chick (www.schickdesignchhick.com.au) in which you can win a course at the Whitehouse School of Design, work experience at none other than the best teen mag money can buy, DOLLY and a summer prize pack with some things Schick think are pretty SHMICK.
