x factor...

OMG! I just read that Stephen Gately of Boyzone fame has died. WTF? I don't swear but omg, I do believe is the phrase to use. He was the short one, I think. Am researching now. Died in his sleep following a drinking session in Majorca whilst on holiday with his partner. RIP.

So it was the first of the live shows yesterday, there are a number of pointers I want to make:

1. The Irish twins look suspiciously like Robert Pattinson. Ok I know I might get hunted down and killed by a bunch of angry teenage girls. But there is a definite resemblance. They are both quite freaky.
2. OMG I can't believe what Dannii said about Danyl's sexuality. If there are doubts you do not voice them on live television. I love the girl and all, she wore an amazing maxi dress with a train last week, I kinda want, NO EXCUSE! You can't do that. There was an awkward silence and Danyl started crying.
3. Plus, they all called him cocky, and the Irish twins aren't??
4. I want Stacey to win, as I just love her. Is an amazing singer and so delightfully... dim? I think is the word.
5. Miss Frank weren't great methinks, but I love the tall girl's hair. Can't remember her name, I wonder if Simon can...
6. The strippers, Kandy Rain, I thought were good. But ok, they did look like strippers, but they got so much stick from Dannii and Cheryl. I said that maybe Cheryl just has a thing against strippers as her husband seems to prefer them to her. I didn't see anything wrong with it and I don't think that they should have bought it up. It's their choice...

I missed the first performance, it was the girl with the cool hair. I think she is amazing. And I LOVE ROBBIE WILLIAMS! As Dolly put it, she is glad that he isn't fighting the grey. Can't wait for results tonight. Actually I can I think, I have more important things to do.

In response to my dream question two posts ago, my friend says that she had a similar one where she owned a cake shop. She woke up very hungry.

Dreams...

So I wake up this morning and I have this huge depression over me for the rest of the day, purely because I had a great dream. I woke up. It wasn't real. Now I have to obtain everything in my dream...
The general gist is that I went into my local branch of Cancer Research. I'm looking at a pile of polyester scarves and then this little old lady comes in with two huge bin bags. I offer to help her and I carry the bags to the till. They are not done up and inside I see a tweed jacket. You might not know that I have a pretty huge obsession with tweed, but I do and am absolutely thrilled it's in this season. Not that it's ever stopped me before. Anyway, sidetracked.
The old lady explains to the till person that the bags are full of clothes that she has no room for but has collected over her long life. Then she just disappears as people do in dreams. Intrigued I ask the till person if I may take a look inside. I pull out the tweed jacket. It's cashmere and cropped but with a pair of tails at the back. It also has a velvet collar. Standing shocked with my sister, I ask how much she wants for both bags. The till person doesn't even look in the bag and says yeah sure you can for £10. So I hand over my cash and walk with Dolly down the high street with two huge bin bags, which by this time have grown to monumental proportions. I get home, the mother is like, Billie, what the hell have you been buying? So I open up the bags...
Inside is a vast amount of clothes. Silk slips, a few tweed jackets, ballgowns, fur coats, a fur muff, full length wool skirts, silk ruffle shirts, cloche hats, opera cloaks, wool capes, cashmere jumpers. And loads of lace summer dresses. All in perfect condition. Then at the bottom is the fur coat Liza Minelli wears in 'Cabaret' (I had watched it the night before, so makes sense.) I was actually in heaven. All this for only £10.
I woke up. I remembered. I nearly cried.
I hate dreams like this. They are amazing until you wake up and then just ruin your day. My friend had a similar one where she was mysteriously given shoes through the post. She has a sliiight shoe obsession, which explains this particular dream. Apparently she woke up shouting, 'Another Jimmy Choo!'
At least the dream was different from my usual, for the last month or two the same guy has appeared, in the background. Thing is he is gorgeous. Quite literally the dream guy. Pale, green eyes, the same coloured hair as Kate Winslet in Titanic. Simply cherubic and beautiful.

Had any similar dreams? The clothes one is always a killer.

Over and Out,
