MISSING! 24 CARAT GOLD LASH CURLERS!
Dear Jackie,
Last weekend Dawn and I were partying in our Palms Deluxe Karaoke Party Suite in Las Vegas. I was singing my best rendition of Puccini's Un Bel Di Vedremo (everyone was in tears) and Dawn was rapping old school N.W.A and we decided that we should organize a Jackieoke in 2010! Wouldnt that be fabulous!
Anyway it was sad end to the day because one of our party guests stole my bathroom pouch which had my 24 carat gold eyelash curlers inside. The thieves are obviously part of the Bling Ring Gang. Las Vegas CSI forensics team are working hard on finding the culprits. I want my stuff back!
Au Revoir,
Sarah

WHITE WEDDING
Dear Jackie,
Remember when I was telling you about the magazine who is publishing my wedding photos? You know my wedding a.k.a. the happiest day of my life? The photos are now available for the everyone look at. The magazine was originally going to give me 30 pages, but they had to include a Rankin feature and Bishi and Flaming Lips so I only got 10 pages. Can you believe that? You can view the complete magazine by clicking here

SWEET CHILD OF MINE
Dear Jackie,
Jackie, Jackie , Jackie. I should have listened to you- see now I am with child. Oh don’t get too worried, I am not pregnant, but I am literary with a child. I met this fresh blooded stud Monday night and have been shacked up since in a grotty Marylebone hotel (Not on Park Lane- Not my standard)
Anyhow, this young boy has become ever so infatuated with me, and now I cannot get rid of him. However fun these young things can be for a night or two- in the long run they are just needy and, as you have said many one time, TROUBLE.
Dearest, do give me advice on how to deal with this. Should I slip him a crisp note, or perhaps ask one of Don’s guys to help me?
Awaiting eagerly advice,
Dawn

LEO FORREST
Dear Jackie,
The other day, Sarah and I were enjoying our usual morning spot of golfing, when suddenly this handsome hunk appeared out of the woods. His name was Leo Forrest and he was quite charming. Coming across as so honest and decent i let myself seduce and soon after we were at his condo practicing our very own version of Putting.
So much joy in this sport. Also excellent for my triceps.
Cant wait for our next game at the resort down in Mexico.
A refreshed,
Dawn

CONTEMPLATION
Dear Jackie,
Dawn and I were on the putting green this morning and we were deliberating about Kant's philosophy, Critique of Pure Reason. While Dawn thought the epistemology of metaphorical delights weigh over the value of reason itself, I simply countered ideology of unknowable existence could not be assumed. Hmmm...
Would love to hear your thoughts on that...

TECHNOLOGY
Dear Jackie,
This is Carson. We have been dating on-and-off for the last three days. He is great, however it frustrates me that he is always so busy when we are together. Making phone calls- doing deals with Tokyo and LA.
Jackie, what are your thoughts on our technology obsessed society? Personally I miss the days when our only means of communications were one-on-one- or just being Pen Pals!
An outraged,

"THE STUD"
...about twelve-thirty, one o’clock they start arriving. Golden-haired girls in cowboy outfits, Indian gear, boots, backless topless see-through dresses. The wilder the better. Their escorts varying from the long-haired mob of rock groups to the latest young actors. Elegant young debs in full evening dress, with chinless wonder escorts. The older society group. The rich Greeks. The even richer Arabs. An odd movie star. An odd M.P. or visiting senator. Anybody famous who’s in town. Young writers, dress designers, photographers, models. They all come to look and be looked at, to see their friends. It’s like a building excitement — reaching a breathless climax at around two A.M. when the room is so jammed you couldn’t get anyone else in except maybe Frank Sinatra or Mick Jagger.
MY SLIM DAVIDOFF LIGHTS
Dear Jackie,
As you know I have been considering giving up smoking lately. Sure, I look marvelous with my Slim Davidoff Light; how my red lipstick marks the filter as I inhale deep drags of expensive smoke. But in this time and age we all should know better. That’s why I got so happy and inspired seeing this add in the latest Vogue. What do you think Jackie?
Yours Truly,
Dawn
