Aaaah

It may be April Fool’s Day, but personal freshness is no joke. Take for instance the classic disaster – you’re jogging in the Serengeti, or 3000ft over the Atlantic, or caught short in Balthazar and nature calls, big jobs. What’s a gal to do? You can’t hold on, you can’t carry a bidet in your minaudiere and all too often dry toilet paper simply won’t cover it. In the past you’d just have to hope for the best, and burn your knickers when you got home.

Softly does it

Softly does it

We all love a good yarn, but there’s yarn, and there’s yarn. When we came across Bemboka on a whistle stop trip to Sydney recently it was with a sharp intake of breath and long exhale of ooooh.

Bed, the bosom battlefield

Bed, the bosom battlefield

It’s every gal’s nightmare. You awake from a peaceful, joyous dream where you own every single shoe in Michael Lewis’ new season, to find your embonpoint looks like a bomb has gone off in your nightie. A creasy cleavage is just no good for sexy times with the old ball and chain, and wave goodbye to wearing your wraparound DVF for that important breakfast meet. But what’s a gal to do? All the StriVectin in the world won’t help those grand canyons. Wrinkles down your cleethorpes are simply unavoidable for gals whose cups runneth over. Or are they…

The perfect pick up

The perfect pick up

Do you do Kudu? You bet your bippy you do when it’s fresh from the Tusting’s tree. While a jaunty jetsome long haul means we’re slaves to our suitcases, we’re repeat offenders for a chic weekender and nothing fits the bill like the divine Tusting Explorer
