Ben Dunne is all sorts of awesome and win. Not only is he WRECKING our heads with his gym ads on radio stations across the country but he has also :

- Been kidnapped by the IRA and held for seven days.

-Was arrested for cocaine possession and soliciting a hooker while on a golf holiday in Florida. He also allegedly attempted to throw himself off the balcony.

- Given large amounts of money to a number of Irish politicians, mainly from the Fianna Fáil party including the then Taoiseach, Charlie Haughey.

-He also ‘knowingly assisted’ a Fine Gael politician evade tax.

What a legend. He is not to be mocked. I mean, who among YOU can say YOU’VE never been caught snorting cocaine off a crack ho’s ass before lobbing yourself off the balcony? (Allegedly) NONE OF YOU, that’s who.

P.S Ben can also be found adjudicating the scores on ‘The Big Quiz’ on Tom Dunne’s show. (Newstalk, Fridays at 11.30am). It may be Ben Dunne. Or it may be an impersonator. Who knows.

P.P.S HUGE thanks to Joe and Sorcha at Newstalk for having us on with Tom this morning - lovely folks altogether!

Erin Wasson is another one of those achingly hip models who make you want to take copious amounts of some hallucinogenic, just so you can create an alternate planet where you, too, look and dress and have as much money as this. Except drugs are bad, so feast your eyes on her lovely shoot for foam  magazine and use that decadent imagination of yours instead…

Erin recently launched her own collection for RCVA, who are another ridiculously coo-el brand, and has also got her own jewelry line. A very expensive one too. Rumi from fashiontoast is also a big fan, Rumi being one of those hip young queens of the style blogosphere, so she must know a little something about a little something. Lesson over..resume normal life. *sigh*

I never really got the Grace Jones thing, til I saw her at Electric Picnic. She really is the ‘Vogue-Cover-Come-To-Life ‘ mixed with prowling panther persona people rave about. She’s just slinky and sinister and fun and demented. I like it, her, and I love these images by Andrea Klarin from a shoot in November, but I wanted to share again as it is just h-Amazing. Do you have an opinion on Miss Jones?
