sun sun sun

it's summer so the sun is shinning and sunscreen is needed! any will work.

i am telling you from experience as i spent a fair amount of time on the beach today and i did get fairly burnt in one or two places.

yes i'm being a hypocrite...

however it means i can also offer an insight into good aftersuns, I find nivea moisturizing after sun lotion with aloe vera works wonders.

weather it actually does any good for your sunburn, who knows. but the aloe will be good for your skin even if it does nothing to your burn.

sticking the bottle in the fridge also makes it very soothing.

you can find out more about nivea on their website.

have fun in the sun!

snappy

so here in the Gisland it's perfect Snapper (baby salmon) season so we went out, bought some stinking bait, broke out the old bamboo poles and hey presto!

FISH!

and some corn

that's pretty much it, ciao

Just your average 4 th of July

so we were headed to New York for part 1 of our summer adventure and guess who was in the airport lounge?

mr Dev Patel was headed to Japan i assume to promote his new movie and it was my leetle seester who spotted him first and she wasn't sure who he was at first (having not seen slumdog millionaire or watched skins) but her suspicions were confirmed when two other little ladies went up and asked him to take a picture with them so....

we figured they paved the way for us

and then who would be on our plane but, drum roll please, Matthew Morrisson from Glee!! after making small talk as he was sitting practically in the seat next to us we finally thought it was ok enough to ask for a picture

so, naturally, we did! now my sister and I have renamed fedora's "Matthew Morrisson Hat's" we're working on making it official, i dont think it'll catch on though...

so it was a pretty good 4th of July, and we just about made it to see the end of the fireworks!

Sorry England...

numero duo

so you all know the logic behind my shortie famous person thingy

Natalie Portman is absolutely beautiful and is know for being very petite

the miniscule actress is only 5'3 !!

and was anyone else mesmerized by her spread in V magazine?

I guess it's second nature to look this good when you've been friends with Issac Mizrahi since you were 14 and Zac Posen considers you his muse.

For her 2003 New Year's Pary she wore a Zac Posen dress that had $10,000 worth of crystals sewn into it. I want that gig!!!

and here is Mr Posen with his muse

I love Natalie, she's beautiful, a great actress and has great style

numero uno

if i am entirely honest (which i always try to be), i will tell you that i am not exactly the tallest person in the world. FAR from it! So i was very relieved to find out -with the help if IMDb- that many great actresses who I really admire are not really that tall. Take these two for instance.

This is the two of them at fashion week

Did you know that Mary-Kate is only 4'11 with Ashley being only just 5' ?!?! I feel much better...

So for the next few weeks i will be bringing you (as well as a regular post) many other short -rather, petite- stars to prove that the small of us are not little at heart!

TTFN, Ta Ta For Now!
