FRIDAY TREAT: COCKTAIL TASTING

Dear Jackie,

We at Dear Jackie have been very busy looking for the perfect Joan & Jackie Collins cocktails.

The Twinkle has gold sparkles in it, and it's delicious. What I really like about this cocktail is that some of the little gold sparkles stick around on the face and hands- its as if the drinker becomes more fabulous after having it, similar to how I feel after reading a Jackie Collins novel. However, The Twinkle has champagne in it and we know that you can't stand champagne. Therefor it's suitable for Joan since sometimes you can't stand her! We know how she enjoys sipping champaign with young hunks in her hotel suite. Perhaps you would prefer The Clover Club. It;s fuchsia with a creamy top and is also very delicious. They are both very Joan & Jackie Collins-esque because they are tasty, gorgeous, and never get old.

Will you and Joan be joining us for the party?

ROBBERS AT ROLEX: PLAN FOILED BY KICK ASS OLD LADY (MUST BE LUCKY SANTANGELO)

Dear Jackie,

I think I found Lucky Santangelo! She is a 70 year old woman living in London. ITV call her "Supergran." On Monday she was caught on video kicking ass as she fended off a gang of Moped Robbers with her own little handbag. The lady prevented robbers from stealing luxury watches from this Rolex shop and now four guys are in police custody thanks to her. Buying watches is dangerous business these days!

The lady said, "I know I put myself in danger. But I probably would do the same again." It's obviously Lucky Santangelo, don't you think?

I will keep my eyes peeled for future Santangelo sightings.
What a legend!
