In which Sarah talks of air-brushing and dinosaurs

Posted by Tania Kindersley.

Forgive feckless lack of blogging lately. I have forty-seven excuses, including guests, men in skirts (always a doozy), deadlines, the cricket, excessively long and diverting conversations with my mother, and a faint sense of malaise possibly due to the lack of discernible summer. But the fact is in the end you are a man or a mouse and there is no excuse.

To make up for my own lamentable lack of content, I direct you to Sarah's coruscating diatribe on the air-brushing issue. As you may imagine, she is quite grumpy.

In the meantime, I send you apologies and shall be back very soon.

Oh, and if you want to see some truly inspiring woman, have a look at this feisty refusenik and her supporters in Sudan.
