Lipstick Jungle
I was lying in a modestly proportioned cubicle having my eyebrows waxed and listening to the conversation going on a metre or two away over the partition. It was just after the election. The beautician and her supine client — I think she was having a facial — discussed why they thought voters had lost faith in the Howard government, noted a couple of races in individual seats and moved on to something to do with mortgage rates that completely lost me. Now there is a conversation between women, I thought, that we will never see on screen. Not even with a few lotions and potions and a therapist called Kylie-Demi-Lee to soften the edges. Partly this reflects the ongoing search for a worthy successor to Sex and the City: the kind of show that can launch a cocktail. Shallow Gal»

Harrods of LondonA message from the Chairman of Harrods, Mohamed Al Fayed "The Harrods website will give you a tantalising glimpse of what distinguishes Harrods from any other department store and I promise you, there really is nothing else on earth that can compare with Harrods.

"If you are here to shop, our online store is a click away. We have carefully selected a wide range of luxury products to suit every pocket and taste. The site is incredibly easy to use, absolutely secure and you can trust Harrods to deliver the goods quickly and safely.

"Of course, many people visit Harrods to use its world class restaurants and services, or just to find out more about the store’s colourful history. In that case, let me direct you to the Knightsbridge store site to find out more. You might even be looking to join our staff of skilled employees. A career at Harrods can be highly rewarding and I thoroughly recommend a visit to our recruitment centre.

"I am extremely proud of the improvements we have made to Harrods over the last 20 years and the website is just one of the components of that constant evolution. I hope your visit to this virtual Harrods will encourage you to visit the ‘Palace in Knightsbridge’ itself at some time in the future" Mohamed Al Fayed
