The expression "Under the Radar", when used for a Working Lady generally means that she is on the game, but not actively advertising. The under-the-radar girl probably is doing the job part time, or is living off (a set of) profitable regular(s). It can also be a prelude to retirement from the indus... Comment - Like

Found this gem of an Italian Movie this week.
After the Germans made fun of the profession in the movie Stellungswechsel, it is now up to the Italians.
This Italian comedy with serious undertones depicts the life of a mother-cum-escort. It also has several funny sub-plots about homosexuality, about ... Comment - Like

Here is a hotel that I will avoid, especially after the subtle comments from Lucy Kellaway.
Complete article here (may need to register)
The remark on the fake-bookshelves is the most deadly. After such an observation, I would think I was unable to sleep at all in such an establishment. An... Comment - Like

Marie has a nice description here of how the Empowerment of the job can be addictive.
But she also points out the problem of getting into normal dating while in the job.
With the mentioning of Leeds, and how she describes the start of her career, I am kinda happy I have mainly kept myself ... Comment - Like

I overheard two sets of lyrics today, and they so fit my mood:
I've been to Georgia and California,
and Anywhere I could run...
I have actually been to those places, and to a lot of other locations.
And sure, it was good fun. I love that life.
But something was missing.
Or rather "Someone" was mi... Comment - Like

From my previous post, it is clear what I think is The Best Remedy for jetlag (and she knows who she is).
But while finally catching up with my naughtier part, I came across this good bit by Belle, and I must admit: for makeing me laugh, it was the next best thing to my favorite remedy.

The obligatory apology for not posting...
In the last few weeks, I was too busy with work and I had too much (work-related) fun to keep up the writing.
Live is great fun, but also rather hard work.
Work-life has picked up in a way I had not imagined, and I have been seriously jetlagged a few times. ... Comment - Like

Gillette had a nice item on Cougarification recently.
I had heard the term cougar, but never really investigated its meaning. When I did, I found some Gems of clips and text on youtube.
First, there was this tongue-in-cheek clip that contains An unflinching examination of the behaviour of Cougars i... Comment - Like

There was another Julie Bindel piece in the Guardian recently. I noticed it from the reply by Amanda. (the logo links to a much better Guardian article, hehehe)

Been too bloody busy working and travelling to write, or to even think much. Will comment more on some (news) items later. Gimme time (In the meantime, a lot will already be said and written, so I might not bother anymore.)

She is for Real.
I will admid that I had doubts. The blog and books were written and marketed so well that it could have been a professional writer or a prank. Hence, I never took her in my blogroll.
But it seems Dr Belle (Yes, a PhD!) was for real after all.
On the negative side, it seems she out... Comment - Like

If "the game" is considered a lage economic (government taxable) activity, then we are only progressing a tradition.

It is well known: I do some of my more creative work-writing and most of my fun-writing (this) on long distance trains.
I enjoy that blissfull detachment, the not-quite-real state, that comes with nomadic work.
Various trainrides are already documented on blogs or boardpostings. And I notably remem... Comment - Like
