Hi all! I’m sure anyone who lives in London is aware of the Mayhew home. It’s a fantastic animal shelter. I took Ingrid Newkirk, the founder and president of PETA there once and she was very impressed with it. Well, that says a lot! I’ve rescued a few dogs and a cat from there in my time.

Are you kidding me? Vogue magazine vilifying Brigitte Bardot the minute she died? Vogue magazine, and every fashion magazine in the world for that matter, owes more to Brigitte Bardot than any other human living or dead.
