After more than eight years working on this site, I've decided to finish up planet margeaux. It also means the end of this blog too. All the posts and other content will be removed by 21 January 2008. Thanks to everyone who read anything on here, especially those who took the time to email or comment on the posts. Bye! Dxx

I can't tell you how glad I was to see the back of 2007. A year that for me was punctuated with enormous sadness and loss, amongst some of the most amazing highs of my life. A year that was a complete contradiction. I won't go over the year month by month, but I will give some thoughts on it now that it is over. I loved that I travelled overseas again in 2007. Although China was never on my

Hi y'all Sorry for the huge gap in posts but I have been so busy flogging photobooks and plasticware that I've barely had time to scratch myself. Last night was the work Christmas party and it was a fantastic night that reminded me why I don't socialise with the people I work with. We had dinner and drinks, lots and lots of drinks, at Rambutan on Oxford Street. The food there is just amazing -

There's a new 4 track sampler mix of Kylie's new album that you can download from her MySpace, and it includes a track I've not heard yet, The One. It's been described as the album standout track in several reviews that I've read and now I've listened to it I can see why. It's absolutely stunning. It's about as vintage Kylie as you can get yet it still sounds new and fresh. It's a gorgeous

It's official - I'm time poor. In my schedule this week, I have only one night for me, and me alone. I have no time for anyone else. In between my very demanding and rewarding full time job, Tupperware, Rosie and keeping a reasonable house, I'm bushed! But, can I tell you, I've never been more happy or content. I get such a buzz from all the things I do and I am truly thankful for these

Over the weekend I was lucky (lucky lucky) enough to hear most of Kylie's new album X. I was over a friends place and we popped it on to have a listen. Not quite sure what to expect but can I just say how amazing it all is? She's gone all retro and electro and fabbo on us! To me she kind of lost her way with Body Language (her previous CD) which wasn't a bad album, it just wasn't what we wanted

OMG! A very dear friend of mine just sent me a leaked copy of Kylie's new single 2 Hearts. I bet you're all dying to know what it's like, right? Well, the first listen didn't grab me much, but I'm halfway through the second listen and it's definitely growing on me. It's a mid tempo sexy little romp actually full of catchy little melodies and lyrics. I'm not sure it's going to do the same sort

Hi everyone! Sorry for not updating this thing in weeks, absolute weeks. I got an email from a regular reader who was checking to make sure I was ok. Hi Musical_Devotee! I'm still here - just bloody busy is all :) There's a few reasons for my prolonged absence from here, obviously a distinct lack of time plays the biggest part. I've been a lot more social these past weeks, out nearly every

I LOVE Australian Idol this year! Last night Rich and I went to the 'Live Verdict' show at Fox Studios. You apply for tickets on the site and it's like a lucky draw if you get them so I was stoked last week when they turned up in the post. I would've preferred to have gone to the Sunday night show where they each sing their individual songs, but beggars cannot be choosers so verdict it was. We

Tomorrow (Monday) night for the 'Live Verdict' show. I am so excited about seeing all the boys and some of the girls live on the stage. Hopefully Rich and I will get seats right near the stage so we may even get our ugly mugs on the TV :) I'll try and do a post, post Idol about it all. Dx

Ok, ok, I know it took a while, but finally I'm sober enough to add the photos to the blog. Sorry for the delay but my birthday celebrations have been in full swing. Stuart Kaz Fiona, Ben & Sarah Ian Drew [more photos on facebook]

Just a quick post as I can barely string a sentence together. I had a fabulous party yesterday to celebrate my birthday. Loads of wonderful friends dropped by and helped me get very drunk. There are so many empty bottles around the place which means I have a rotten hangover now. But it was all more than worth it. I'll do a proper post with photos when I am more sober :) Dxx

It's that time of year again where I turn 27 for the umpteenth time :P Actually, this year it's 32! Eeeeekk! I'm gettin old. So, to celebrations, and as usual I've organised a practical orgy of social get togethers so that no matter what you are into, there's a little something for everyone. Sunday arvo is casual, social drinks at mine (email me for details if you wanna come and missed an

I do love the artwork that is produced for the Toybox and Luminere parties - here is the latest for the Sleaze weekend Luminere party at Luna Park, Sydney.

There is nothing like a best friend. Some of us are lucky enough to have more than one best friend to share everything with including silliness. Here are some photos of two of my besties... (I was a little drunk in these, and Rich and I nearly fell over as that second photo was taken, hence my expression!)xx

Hi y'all :) I have a confession to make. I'm addicted to Smiths Cheese & Onion chips smothered in sour cream. It's my 'just in the door from work' snack before i take Rosie out walking. I seem to have it most nights. Woolworths aren't helping by running a regular special of 2 x 200g bags of said chips for only $4. For some reason I always feel something akin to guilt after scoffing half a bag

I had one of those weekends that was pretty good - at times social, exciting, lazy and relaxing. A good mix for what turned into a pretty ordinary weekend weather wise. So, Saturday morning I slept in and then took miss out for a walk like a good daddy does. Then off to coffee at Cafe Nikki on Bourke Street with Matt which was lovely. I haven't seen him or spoken with him properly in several

Hi y'all How's it going? I've been making some minor tweaks to the blog part of the site these past days, cleaning up the labels that I give to the blog posts. I had a fairly long list but I've culled it back to a few main ones. I'll redo the sidebar over the weekend and add them in there so it's easy for you to find particular themes of posts I make. Having a good week, very interesting

His name is Adam and I met him a few weeks ago. After an initial flourish of catching up, things went quiet and I kind of figured it was done with. After a couple of sporadic text messages and phone calls last week, he explained that he's just super busy but did want to catch up again. He called yesterday afternoon about dinner, his suggestion was this pokey, local dumpling and noodle house down

Of yet another weekend! Golly this one came around fast. Friday already! I've planned to do not much this weekend. Probably just hang out with friends and Rosie and take it easy. I should do some house stuff and give Rosie a bath and clean the house and sort out some paperwork and prepare my tax stuff and clean the balcony and cook some yummy food and repot the plant and clean the laundry recess

UPDATE: Yay! It's on - the email announcing the party has just been sent! Luminere @ Luna Park, Sydney; 1pm to 9pm Sunday 30 September. Yippeeee! The boys at Toybox are up to something, although I'm not quite sure what. They've been posting a series of quotes on both their Toybox and Luminere party websites which has gay boys all over Sydney speculating as to what is actually going on. After

It's always lovely to know that people actually read these things so I appreciate enormously the comments that have been left on my blog over the past weeks. It also encourages me to post a little more :P Dx
