Quote of the day:
"All women are born unique, some are more unique than others!"
Loulou, chairman of Blue Dog Jewellery
It's a dog's life:
We all have good days and bad days, positive times and negative times. I'm normally full of the joys of life - as long as I have my daily dose of love, food and exercise I'm always a happy bunny (so to speak). However 2008 has dealt me more than my fair share of bad days and I'm not talking about the credit crunch. Let's face it -this has been a bad year for my image. The spin doctors have tried to work their magic, but in vain. I have single handedly succeeded in taking the concept of a bad hair day to a whole new level.
First there was the dermatitis on my nose resulting in a biopsy and the indignity of wearing a buster collar to prevent me from scratching myself. This was not a good look when trying out my usual chat up lines in the park. Even my best friends pretended not to know me. No-one wanted to be seen with me - I was so uncool. However, eventually my nose returned to normal, my dermatitis was cured and my natural beauty was restored. I began to regain my composure, proudly strut my stuff again and lapped up the customary praise for my natural good looks.
It is said that pride comes before a fall and it wasn't long before disaster struck again. This time I contracted a skin infection on my hips. According to my vet I have a bony bottom, which makes me prone to skin infections. Personally I have always thought that my derriere was perfectly proportioned. In fact most women tell me that they would kill to have my vital statistics. Needless to say, yet another biopsy followed, together with the compulsory lampshade on my head in case I felt the urge to scratch again. But the worst was yet to come: the treatment included regular bathing (which I hate), a course of antibiotics (which I tolerated because the pills were in a nice girly pink colour) and having my bottom shaved! Well, I didn't know where to look - I was SO embarrassed!
I normally love my daily walks but they became the Walks of Shame. Every time I met someone I knew I had to quickly sit or lie down to hide the bareness of my bottom. Everyone thought I was just being polite by sitting down to talk to them but little did they know the dreadful secret I was desperate to hide. I begged to be walked under the cover of darkness but my requests met with deaf ears!
2008 ended with an operation, and a further round of shaving, as I needed to have a lump removed from my side. Frankly at this stage, there aren't many parts of my body which haven't been shaved. What's a girl got to do to get some self-respect?
So I have decided in 2009 the only way is up! I will have a new attitude to life and will accentuate the positive and focus on my good points. I am still pretty, I am still unique and I am still proud! I always say if you've got it flaunt it!
Here I am looking pretty in pink!
Here are some famous women who lost there hair for different reasons but still look beautiful - they have been an inpiration to me in my darkest hours!
