Anorexia. Been there, done that, bought the size 6 t-shirt. Yawn. Anorexia is totes passé. It’s all about taking pills that give you anal seepage now. Or compulsive zumba. Who are the women who zumba compulsively? How do they hide it from their loved ones? Oh you think your work mate is […]

Both the brevity of life on earth and the mortal expense of cinema tickets behove me to urge you to not spend your time and wage upon seeing Ridley Scott’s much anticipated Prometheus. It is bad. The script is bad, the story is bad. Charlize Theron is criminally underused. Guy Pearce has been made-up, […]

“Being single can be amazing”, or so eHarmony would like us to believe. A strange opening gambit, perhaps, for an advertisement for a dating service promising to have all us hapless singles married off before our ovaries give up and we are left to sit alone with only the company of the late night shopping […]

There is a bottomless multitude of things that annoy us all about the Daily Fail, from their recent adoption of American spelling to perving on underage girls. But this one has been nagging me for a while – perhaps partly because I’ve also seen it spread like slow-growing warts from the pages of the Fail […]

Today’s media is all-pervasive. Mainstream media, in all its forms, from broadsheets to adverts, is perpetually telling us things. And what they are telling young women constantly is this: be afraid. Be afraid of dying alone, be afraid of getting fat, be afraid of being poorer than your friends. We are told that […]

Dear Misses Lucy I’ve been working at this PR company (I can’t tell you which one, because of confidentiality, but it’s kind of a big deal. I don’t want to boast, but if I could tell you who I work for, I’m pretty sure you’d be impressed) for a couple of years now and I […]

My local Tesco’s separate their magazines into ‘Women’s interests’ and ‘Men’s interests’. Presumably just in case my ovaries don’t automatically direct me on a nuclear mission trackpath to choose cupcakes and TOWIE and I accidentally buy something I couldn’t possibly be interested in – like Private Eye or The Economist, or The Spectator.

“Superheroine is the new black, and it’s been a stellar summer for strong, sexy and totally kick-ass female role models on the silver screen. But while Jennifer Lawrence’s weight dissection was so last season, it’s now all about the Black Widow. Scarlett Johansson – actress, activist, model and all-round superbabe – provided a little […]

The Duchess of Stepford and the Kate Effect Nobody likes a disclaimer but I am beginning with one. I realise this is not the most appropriate time to write a piece like this, particularly with the Diamond Jubilee and all. But I am a tall, thin female with brown hair, I get a blow-dry now […]

With miniature-flag-waving ceremonies and who’s-got-the-worst-claustrophobia-in-this-crowd competitions fast approaching, being Queen has never been hipper. Those pastel jackets! Those pastel hats! Those pastel shoes! It’s fair to say that Liz is the biz. Unfortunately, although here at Any Women’s Magazine Ever we’ve been banging on at the royal Press Office for an exclusive interview for months […]

I recently stumbled across a study that claims waitresses who wear red lipstick get more tips from men than those who don’t, due to red lips being associated with ‘heightened sexual arousal’. Aside from the health and safety implications of being served hot food by horny waitresses, it’s surprising that those […]
