Wake In Fright
I’ve just found out some absolutely appalling news – I have something in common with Donald Trump. No, I don’t have a mandarin-hued fake tan and nor is my hair verging on the comical. Turns out The Donald and I both only exist on […]

How do you feel about Pete Evans? You know him – the Aussie chef who is a world authority on everything and is on one of the 15 cooking shows on TV? He recently brought back some very traumatic memories for me. […]
Do you know what I hate? And I mean loathe with a nuclear capacity? There are a few things actually; flat tonic water, anything that requires patience, bean sprouts, people who push in front of you when you’re in a queue and professional cricket […]
Last week I drove my Goddaughter and some of her friends to Schoolies Week on the Gold Coast. I was crapping myself. She’s so smart and beautiful (and like most of her friend’s) looks NOTHING like I did at her age – […]
My Frusband has named his Sat Nav after me. I wondered if it’s because they always have those smooth, sexy voices but it turns out that’s not the reason. Frusband: “She’s called Alex because she bosses me around, never stops talking and […]
One of the things I love about reading biographies and watching biopics is how fascinating people’s real lives are. You couldn’t make this stuff up. And in the tradition of the Crown/Monarchy getting in the way of True Love and pressure to […]
I took only my second Uber ride recently—I’m not adverse to adapting to new things—and it turns out I got in the car of a famous woman. You may have already heard of her Grandma Uber, aka Kathy Raydings? Kathy, 57, has […]
When I was growing up I hated my name because there was a kids’ TV show on the ABC called The Alexander the Bunyip Afternoon Show, so I was teased by other children with the terribly creative name calling of “you’re Alexander […]
For Mother’s Day I wrote a column which really seem to resonate with She Brisbane readers about the “good advice” (i.e. bossing) my mum, Ruth, has dispensed over the years. So, I thought it was only fair I give reciprocal rights to […]
What do you think is the worst thing about the workplace? It’s a hotly contested issue as there are so many repellent things to choose from: People eating fish curry at their desk; Bad personal hygiene; Workplace psychopaths… I could go on, […]
I’ve already outed myself as a Game of Thrones freak – so now I have to confess, I’m also a sports tragic with my obsession sitting on around the same level as GoT. As a consequence, the Olympics for me is like […]
Have you noticed there seems to be a lot of people getting their kit off these days? I couldn’t sleep the other night and was flicking through the channels when I stumbled upon this train wreck of show called Dating Naked. Can […]
One of the topics our panel debated at the recent She High Tea was “Have women got it better now than in the Victorian era?” This provoked some very interesting reactions from both our panellists and the ladies enjoying the morning tea. […]
I fear that English is going to follow Sanskrit and become a dead language. It’s happening now actually. Why don’t we say what we mean anymore? Maybe it was because the federal election campaign went for eight years, I’m not sure, but […]
My iPad broke up with me. I’m serious. It had a psychotic episode and started opening multiple pages at once, jumping between apps, it wouldn’t let me close anything down – nightmare. Given that I recently wrote about how in the future […]
It’s time to ‘out’ myself—my name is Alex and I’m a Game of Thrones (GoT) tragic. There’s a reason it’s the most pirated/watched TV show of recent times – its frickin’ excellent! I have a GoT viewing party each week with my […]
I’m worried about us—as a society—that before too long we, as humans, will no longer be capable of doing much of anything. Let me give you some insights, and yes, brace yourself. Glimpses of the future Shoelaces: Nike announced recently they will […]
I love many things, and a cracking documentary is right up there towards the top of the list. I think it’s because you couldn’t make up some of the things that happen to people in their real lives. That was something I […]
So this happened… Which is really handy as my good friend’s wedding in NZ is coming soon and a moon boot looks great with formal attire. I think I’ve irritated God when I accidentally stole a trinket from the Vatican Gift Shop […]
As a tribute to mothers everywhere, I thought I would share advice my mum has given me over the years and some of the lovely readers’ contributions as well. So for the sake of this column, let’s call it “advice” not bossing, […]
