Book Review - Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine
I am sure there are better ways of getting to see your kids than dressing up and pretending to be a woman! Personally I see the sub text in this book - he had urges, certain uncontrollable urges to dress as a woman. Which is fine. Live and let live...but don't say it was for the kids....come on....please, he liked the feel of nylon on his legs, the freedom that a frock gives you, the fantastic...

Whose Body? Just gave me a great idea for a reality/celebrity/quiz show! I truly believe it would be a massive hit! Every week, six celebrities are asked to pose nude with a paper bag on their heads.....and then 3 contestants have to guess who they are! The ratings would be amazing.
