High Gloss is here!

I don't know about you, but I'm loving all the new online mags that are popping up here, there and everywhere. As a hard-core magazine junkie, I can't get enough, and the newest kid on the block is <a href="http://www.highglossmagazine.com/read">High Gloss</a>. If I happen to go awol for a while, you'll know where to find me - I'll be devouring every morsel. Here's a taste:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipCdmcoCrx5j0RVO8_0kLS4MH0Xk0i35wBwz7za0N630O9aspN2LOosstn1b76cl2Bl7rFtJSI0NJjK3e00U72oBdJVnn-5LsWk-wjRkxKAhf4pu4ohHmHN6JVGVa9aadzMs8EqdRbazc/s1600/high+gloss+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipCdmcoCrx5j0RVO8_0kLS4MH0Xk0i35wBwz7za0N630O9aspN2LOosstn1b76cl2Bl7rFtJSI0NJjK3e00U72oBdJVnn-5LsWk-wjRkxKAhf4pu4ohHmHN6JVGVa9aadzMs8EqdRbazc/s1600/high+gloss+1.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIj-Sw5ZoijCEsnReDfbh8t8X_8qG4GyfUm2zX6c-sCHbZvpJ_2GW1M63aL4vvrWoWCfxtKV5XFBB_Id_00Y67dqwGtp0T3U3AjUJpgTrtc-bhqh3kgawUpMT63UXrISdbIpZGjIhvuTA/s1600/high+gloss+4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIj-Sw5ZoijCEsnReDfbh8t8X_8qG4GyfUm2zX6c-sCHbZvpJ_2GW1M63aL4vvrWoWCfxtKV5XFBB_Id_00Y67dqwGtp0T3U3AjUJpgTrtc-bhqh3kgawUpMT63UXrISdbIpZGjIhvuTA/s640/high+gloss+4.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjmVhDCjIZtqDNZ2IIahnaIBUhJ05WMt9B0Yau0uWCT5abC9RnLOb6GmAEqW_c0tvVo28dZnCPMmNddTy14MbJGEDZkht-4CUFcrFGeM8YrhquMmPb15qQctfpgCjsQtVq0-LzHTW4SkE/s1600/high+gloss+3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjmVhDCjIZtqDNZ2IIahnaIBUhJ05WMt9B0Yau0uWCT5abC9RnLOb6GmAEqW_c0tvVo28dZnCPMmNddTy14MbJGEDZkht-4CUFcrFGeM8YrhquMmPb15qQctfpgCjsQtVq0-LzHTW4SkE/s1600/high+gloss+3.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9AXXAR_liHWCEgthdIEnyf-zqXKoeXC_g6C10I8KgqioVqELCXVjs2tvk649t8ZNoQRzWALUl5oWBYk9lO7wLLdfIscTx0pOb_XDhmM2oXmyMc1TrGe8d3PsBhbaZosWAGRLAeYDLY-Y/s1600/high+gloss+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9AXXAR_liHWCEgthdIEnyf-zqXKoeXC_g6C10I8KgqioVqELCXVjs2tvk649t8ZNoQRzWALUl5oWBYk9lO7wLLdfIscTx0pOb_XDhmM2oXmyMc1TrGe8d3PsBhbaZosWAGRLAeYDLY-Y/s640/high+gloss+2.png" width="492" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> all images courtesy <a href="http://www.highglossmagazine.com/read">High Gloss magazine</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />With all the food analogies in this post, thanks for all your thoughts and emails yesterday. Your encouragement (and stories very similar to mine!) helped no end. You'll be pleased to know I was a very brave girl and took myself off to visit my friendly dentist, who thankfully was not sporting a novelty mask. It seems I've done quite a number on that tooth of mine (probably because I've avoided said friendly dentist for well over a year now) and I'll need to go back again on Saturday. So kids, don't do what I do - visit your dentist regularly and don't be a big girls' blouse about it. Of course, when this tooth is as good as new, I can't guarantee I'll take my own advice :)<br /><br />Enjoy your day everyone, and keep your fingers crossed for our friends in North Queensland. Our thoughts are with you.<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85794/shatay01/57292ae3db79c6d939a1f2a85508a076.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-color: initial !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-style: initial !important; border-top-width: 0px !important;" /></a>

Torture

I'm off to subject myself to untold torture this morning. I broke the corner of my tooth, so now I'll be dragged kicking and screaming to visit my lovely dentist. I know I sound like the biggest sook on earth, but that's not true at all. I'm the survivor of a hellish 30 hour labour, so I'm no stranger to a little pain and discomfort. But after a few bad childhood experiences at the hands of my old dentist, it's a phobia I haven't managed to conquer. Wish me luck. And let's hope he doesn't arrive looking like this joker, or I'll be out of there faster than you can say 'root canal'.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgigv89V8Rn9TCen4VUqkWxSLR8mXdtUwIp30JvIfPL6XHh_UUg7A8UPpWK7HavpID7trvI-2uIIIxDEG_5vTmagKUfAyoPKmU-qsIl3IK83HiPpwtMd4pnCo1B0mLx1euxOHowWugaYcE/s1600/dentist-mask.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgigv89V8Rn9TCen4VUqkWxSLR8mXdtUwIp30JvIfPL6XHh_UUg7A8UPpWK7HavpID7trvI-2uIIIxDEG_5vTmagKUfAyoPKmU-qsIl3IK83HiPpwtMd4pnCo1B0mLx1euxOHowWugaYcE/s640/dentist-mask.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Not funny Mr Dentist, just plain creepy.</span></div><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85794/shatay01/57292ae3db79c6d939a1f2a85508a076.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a>
