what the 'calendar' f***?

I was walking down Grafton Street last night, all snuggled up in my jacket, minding my own business. Turned to my right seen some calendars, continued to walk, stopped, walked back and realized it wasn't some calendars, it was actually a shop full of them. In fact the shop was called, Calendar Club.

Don't get me wrong whatever your into and all but I instantly thought this was very Talbot St of Grafton. A calendar shop on what I was believed to be one of the most prestigious streets of the world. Especially when the streets rents is one of the highest in the world. I remember the time when Meteor were finding it difficult to get a outing just because of its name, not because money was short.

And now they have a CALENDAR SHOP. What does this mean? Are we going to be expecting a euro shop along the street soon? Please don't tell me the bad times have brought this on.....a CALENDAR SHOP!!! It's a disgrace that this was allowed, I thought my eyes were playing tricks with me, but no, I double checked! Will someone please give me an explanation to this because I just don't get it.

Whats next for Grafton Street?

A shop that sells hearts in all shapes and sizes for Valentines and then some shamrocks for Paddy's Day!

cherly's 'life changing' moment ?

May I just say that Cheryl Cole's life has been life changing a long time before any Vogue cover. Her life was 'life changing' when she got a membership for Girls Aloud, when she married a wealthy footballer and when she confirmed her status as a top celebrity as the newest judge on the X-Factor panel. All these factors have influenced the woman we see and love today.

Her on the cover of Vogue isn't 'life changing' as Heat magazine has claimed. It may be a highlighted milestone in her life but no way life changing. I know Vogue is the fashion bible of the world but it's not like Anna Wintour will be checking out her picture. On the cover of the main Vogue (America's) would have been something to write about but its only the English edition of the magazine, 19 different countries publish their version in total. Her being on the cover of the English version just confirms her climb up the celebrity ladder-thats all! In no way does it do anything got to with fashion and for that reason its not life changing.

Why am I annoyed about this? For her simply being on the cover of the English edition of Vogue does not change her life in any form. Her life has already changed for many other reasons (as listed earlier)other than being the cover girl of a magazine!!!
