Sex questions, sulky versus smiley, stubborn men...
Looking forward to having a chat on BBC Radio Newcastle this afternoon about my new book Steamy Sex. We're going to tackle some of the most common questions people have about sex. It's always fun chatting to the presenters at Newcastle - a fab lot!
Lord Sugar's a little trickster making us think that Stella was exiting The Apprentice last night and instead it was sulky Laura. Laura's complained the prog made her look sulky - she has one of those unfortunate down-turned mouths that does look like you're probably in a bit of a mood.
What a surprise that the boys' tactics of getting the best possible bargain won over the girls' approach of just getting hold of all 10 items at any cost. An interesting lesson for all - sometimes keeping it small - but on the best possible terms - is more fruitful than spreading yourselves thin. And come one, simple maths said that the girls were paying over the top for the white Alba truffle.
TODAY’S THOUGHT: let's 'face' it - no pun intended regarding Laura, facial expressions and body language gives people an overall vibe - friendly, dynamic, shy, sulky, etc. A body language tip: if people accuse you of being sulky then relax your facial muscles and study yourself closely in the mirror. If you can tell that your mouth naturally turns down (Stacey on Eastenders played by Lacey Turner has these type of facial muscles - then again anyone on Eastenders would feel sulky!) then practice turning on a little bit of a smile. Just a little regular exercising of those smile muscles and soon you won't look so sulky.
Otherwise you can’t escape the fact that people will judge you as moody.
Going to post a new "your e-mail of the week" a little later - time to get yours in. Click on the "Goldstar" on my homepage.
Eek, had a little disagreement with the hubby this morning. It's a snowy landscape outside our window but he’s still insisting on driving to Berkshire for a meeting this afternoon. Why are men so stubborn sometimes? So when I suggested he at least takes an emergency pack in the car (blanket, water, chocolate bar, etc.) I think he thought I was overreacting to the snow...er, overreacting when people have been trapped in many places around the country?
We’re not talking about a meeting of life and death consequences - it could be postponed. If you're a woman with a stubborn man on your hands e-mail me the situation for your e-mail of the week. Men, eh?
Keep safe and warm, Pam X
