I hear (and YouTube confirms) that for one of this season’s challenges, ‘the girls’ appear in an Enrique Iglesias music video. Probably was a bit of a challenge dealing with playback of his song during the shoot, but I can’t wait to see the episode.
Erm, wait a second. Is Enrique Iglesias actually quite hot? I had no idea. It’s amazing that you can be blinded by music.
Hey. Did somebody have a mole removed?

OK...POUTING?!!! Why oh why has this became a statement of femininity? I mean, apparently the bigger the pout, the more appealing a lady is! Come on...really? So, if diamonds are a girl's best friend, then lipstick must be her soul mate. Even with flawless makeup, most women don't feel complete until their lips are lined, glossed or otherwise coated in color. To get the sexiest pout possible, follow these eight 'simple' steps...
1. Exfoliate. To keep the skin on your lips smooth - we don't want flaky lips do we? YUK!
2. Condition the lips with balm - you have got to keep them soft ladies!
3. Alternate lipsticks from time to time - keep those lips appealing.
4. Treat the first signs of aging - prevent the wrinkles.
5. Use the right liner technique. How to do it correctly: Start with a liner just slightly darker than your lipstick shade and outline the shape you desire (going outside your lip line slightly will make lips look fuller).
6. Protect lips from the sun - burnt lips are just not attractive...plus they are sore!
7. Adopt good habits - ie: don't over lick them!
8. Use the right shade of lipstick - who wants to look like a man in drag???
Are we REALLY going to follow these rules everyday? I have a much better idea! Why not just buy some 'lip plump' from Benefit (to make your lips twice the size) and then slap on some of their lipstick! Ta da - done!
My friend and I couldn't resist trying out a perfect pout...ha ha.
Ok - I'm now going to test you! Who's celebrity pouts are these? (Cover up the answers below - no cheating!)

Just wanted to post this photo! Very random I know but my two friends and I did actually go out like this last night - we thought these glasses would brighten up our eyes!

I'm a firm believer in Karma and I received my fair share this week!
While Shadowing a Keeper at Paradise Widlife Park (which is a fantastic experience by the way) I thought it would be funny to give one of the Monkeys tail a little tug (well a kind of big tug!) We were told not to even stroke them let alone have a pull of their tail, but I don't know what came over me! Anyway, the Monkey hated it and I felt a little bad as it wouldn't come anywhere near me after that!
After leaving I needed to stop at the Petrol Station and put Unleaded petrol in my Deisel Fiesta! NIGHTMARE!! ... So then I was stuck in BROXBOURNE for 3 and a half hours waiting to be rescued by the AA!
**moral to the story**
Don't mess with Monkeys!!!

February 14th isn't the easiest day at the best of times – leaving for work can be difficult when the door’s wedged shut with fuscia coloured pizza ads. But having your relationship status splashed across the pages of a national gossip magazine rates pretty badly on our scale of successful Valentine’s Days.
So, having been rather aggressively described as ‘Bite’s single girls, Amy & Antonya’ in this week’s Heat magazine, allow us to put the record straight: We do, in fact, have a bevy of options this V-Day, some more attractive than others, only the raciest of which involve Haagen Daz and a TV remote. But we do realise not everyone is so lucky, so for those seeking love (or loathing) this week here are our hot tips:
For all the lovers in the house there’s Valentine’s Day; for everyone else there’s ‘The Love Doctors’, AKA Hardcore Romantique. As seen on this week’s ‘Bite’, their dazzling array of pick-up and love advice will deliver you from lonesomeness before you can say “ticket for one, back row please”, with sexy dance moves to match (move over Kerry Katona, this is the celebrity work out video you’ve been waiting for).
If having your love life reduced to rhyming couplets and proposing to strangers isn’t your bag, track The Love Doctors down at their monthly cabaret night, Dr Maglio’s Secrets at St. Aloysius Social Club in Euston. If escapologists, contortionists and human spitfires can’t distract you from the dust gathering in your lingerie drawer, nothing will.
For those who REALLY don’t like V-Day, The Last Tuesday Society are hosting an Evening of Exquisite Misery Valentine’s Special, and no-one does anti-celebration like they do. Expect crying booths, a seminar entitled “How To Deal With a Broken Heart”, and musical performances by bands whose lead singers don’t have dates.
Helpfully, this year’s Valentine’s Day helpfully coincides with London Fashion Week, ensuring wherever you go will also be populated with the beautiful children of St. Valentine himself. Hence a party sponsored by vintage clothing giant Beyond Retro with music by the Broken Hearts descends quickly from dream into nightmare when you realise it’s the after-show party for London-based designer Aganovich (Feb 14th, Queen’s Gate).
Luckily, news just in from the scientific world is that hungry men prefer a rounder woman*, so this might be the week to kill two birds with one stone and bag yourself a chisel jawed hottie and front row tickets to next years’ shows. Alternatively, take a random man to dinner and eat all his food.
Enjoy! Love hearts and kisses,
A&A xx
* It’s true!!! Read and rejoice
Here's my own masterpiece recorded on my phone for 'Overheated Symphony' for the Birds Eye View Festival as featured in this weeks show.
Enjoy

Luck was on my side last week and I found myself in Japan for a few days. Technically I was there for work but I kept my eyes, ears and mouth, wide open for the duration. I flew back full of green tea, miso soup and sashimi.
Going to Japan felt almost like a rebirth. I’m not joking, it’s pretty interesting to understand so little, to be dismayed by brightly coloured snacks! and spend 20 wide-eyed minutes in front of a tube map none-the-wiser.
The demographic is also noticeably less ‘pick n’ mix’ than England, particularly my neighbourhood in Hackney let’s say. So that just made me feel like an even stranger stranger. This delightful but disorienting feeling of foreign-ness was however, assuaged by the graciousness of the Japanese people and their constant willingness to help.
People were very nice to me, we bowed, we giggled, we did karaoke, I marvelled at the shortness of the school girls’ skirts. I drank sake and ate delicious meals ordered by touch-sensor on-table computer screens. Tables full of workers straight from the office, all wearing the same uniform and drinking with the same spirit, but looking decidedly Battle Royale.
I could go on and on, but must now start trawling the net hunting down cheap tickets back to Tokyo.
Hope you’ve checked out the show this week - it’s hottie. Also I’ll be posting some more Japan shots later this week.

If you're up for the freshest fish in Tokyo and are a little jet-lagged, you wouldn’t go wrong heading down the Tsukiji Fish Market. It’s the largest fish market in the world and it got me out of bed before 5am.
Over 2000 tons of edible ocean life is bought and sold in the fish market every day. Apparently that’s £14m worth.
