Mater July 20, 2012
I would have a nanny, house maid & cook & not get out of bed before 10am. I would have all of my clothing handmade for me, from recycled fabric, made off vintage patterns. My food would be totally delishious, but I wouldn’t put on weight. The nanny would have degrees in both child care, education & psychology. I would live in a beautiful home, but one with minimal energy usage… But you wouldn’t be able to tell from looking at it. My dear hubby would have a stylist & also have a bespoke wardrobe. I would also insist on there being a sports free radio station, only playing music I like. Ho hum, back to reality now.

The hotel pool wherever I am staying would by off limits to the riff raff of course, but more importantly turned into a private beach retreat with imported soft white sand from Whitehaven beach, decidedly not politically correct

I would have the current line up of The Village People, Valerie Perrine & Bruce Jenner on hand to perform scenes from “You Can’t Stop The Music” at my command.

- A distillation of the collective urine of a small bolivian village, fresh daily, to treat my frizzy hair.
- 7 hawaiian pizzas with the pineapple removed and mushrooms added;
- a singular picnic bar with all the peanuts removed and arranged on a gold plate in a star pattern; and

A inexhaustive supply of Smarties (and MUST be Smarties, not M&M’s) with each colour in its own individual bowl. (I think I borrowed that from someone – but can’t recall who – but did love the idea when I read it.
