CHANEL No 5 PERFUME REVIEW (HUNK)
Dear Jackie,
WOW! Watch this Chanel No 5 expert hunk explain what makes Chanel such a classic perfume. This collector is a true Chanel perfume connoisseur and has dedicated his life to collecting Chanel No 5 perfumes and understanding the chemistry behind what makes this scent so world renown.
"To me Chanel No 5 smells rather cold and aloof, so it doesn't have the personality or warmth of say, a Guerlain fragrance, but nevertheless it htas a distinctive elegant aura of most Chanel fragrances, and it is definitely a very classy scent that everyone should give themselves a chance to try." -domperrier
Who said Chanel No 5 is only for women?

ESTELLA WARREN FOR CHANEL No 5
Dear Jackie,
Did you know that Estella Warren was a champion Olympic Synchronized Swimmer? No, she is not just a pretty face. I love that scene of her in Sly's film "Driven" where she shows off her synchro moves. There were a few years running where Estella had the monopoly on all of the Chanel No5 ads in fashion magazines, I do hope she got paid.
I have a bottle of Chanel No5. I only wear it when I want that extra bit of glamorous. Champagne cocktail in hand, painted nails, hair done, high heels, and a whiff of Chanel No5. Its a great combination that gets me feeling saucy. What's your favorite scent?
I'm loving the run up to Christmas with all the expensive perfume ads on the tube. It gives me that warm fuzzy feeling to see those 20-30 seconds of ridiculous amounts of money spent on advertisement. Perfume sales being one of life's little commodities that makes the world go round. It's a piece of affordable luxury branding that even peasants can afford this time of year.
Merry Christmas!

ROCK & ROLL (CRAVAT HUNK) MICK JAGGER INSPIRED JACKIE COLLINS
Jackie Collins pontificates about The Stud:
Sarah Baker: Tony Blake, The Stud, is a highly sexualized character. Tell us about this sexualized male character in relation to popular culture...
Jackie Collins: I know. Well, he was based on a real life character that ran a discothèque that my husband owned. And that’s what happened, I mean, the women would come in and discuss him like a piece of meat. He was actually having an affair with a very young girl and there was the older woman and I observed the whole thing. He’s an interesting character to write about because- don’t forget, The Stud came out 1969 or 1970 so it was the end of the 60s, the end of an era. The Stud was the guy that women really went after as opposed to guys going after women. It was the time of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Everybody was just becoming famous, the swinging 60s of London.

MARGO IS WALKING IN LA IN 6 INCH HEELS
Dear Jackie,
Have you seen Margo walking in L.A.?
Nobody walks in L.A. but if your chauffeur can't fix the friggin limo then you might find yourself walking down the street in 6 inch heels like Margo, you know? But then after all, you get to see parts of the city that you normally would not see, and its good to be informed of whats going down in the streets.
Don't get mad at it.
Jackie, if you see Margo walking in L.A. why not pull over and give her a ride? I'm sure you two would hit it off like peas and carrots.

PARTY IN THE COUNTRY SIDE (KENTRY SIDE)
Dear Jackie,
When Dawn and I put our heads together we think up really fabulous ideas. On our recent trip to the Kentry we decided that you should join us. We are so much fun we even had a dance party in the Kentry cottage kitchen and the dog joined in. Dawn was practicing her break dancing moves and I was very prudish and reserved in my woolen purple pleated casuals. You would love it. Next weekend?
With love from Kent

THE COUNTRY LOOK
Dear Jackie,
Dawn and I were noticing that the country look is in. Have you noticed that? I mean everything is SO "Little House on the Prairie" these days. Its all bulky sweaters, sweet flowers, lace collars, and double plaits. I'm not totally ready to hang up my shoulder pads for good but temporarily, what the hay?
Yours,
Sarah

MY CHAUFFEUR
Dear Jackie,
On rout to Chinese Opera the car broke down. I cant help thinking that it's Mario's plan to keep me entertained at the roadside motel. We have been stuck in the middle of nowhere for a week. Unfortunately there is no Starbucks but there are plenty of meat buns so dont worry about me.
And Im sure I will make my way back to civilization in no time.
I miss you!
