LAMBCUT WONT GET THE CHOP

OIIIII!!!!  We allow Lambcut to post occasionally under the brunettes log from time to time.

She makes it very clear when its she who is blogging and  not the Brunette. Busted Blonde and The Brunette  think that Lamb Cut is a complete fucktard when it comes to middle eastern politics. We thought that letting her have a rant on here every now and then would mean she would be exposed to other views that may temper hers. But it does not seem to be working. She does have intimate knowledge of the subject and has spent time in the middle east. Strangely she is more  right wing than we are on every other issue. She even worked for ACT in the past.

So if you want to tear her limb from  verbal limb - feel free. She is big enough to look after herself. She is our sister and she can blog on here about Arab stuff every now and then  in the hope it might soften her hard line view  but  be rest assured we do NOT in anyway shape or form agree with a word she says. In fact, we wont even talk to her about ARAB stuff because it bores us and is likely to end in either one of us sustaining a life threatening injury.

So Bustedblonde blogs on anything but politics, the Brunette blogs on everything that isnt about the Middle East and Lambcut is allowed  to blog on arab cuddling occassionally.

And just for everyones interest  - her husband is a very fit pensioner 15 years her senior  (true) and does not need viagra. I checked in the medicine cupboard last time I stayed with them. She just feeds the horny bastard well.


So  in the interests of world and VRWC peace - we will limit her arab cuddling posts to Saturdays and Sundays.

OHH SHOW US YOUR.....

There is an article in the NZ Herald here about this bit part barbie dolly grizzling that NZ men are a bit uncouth.

They are - thats why we like them. Our guys don't do pedicures, or exfoliants and while their attempts to show their appreciation for a good looking chick lack a bit of finesse, they are still confident enough to pay you a compliment.

Now we had cause to walk past a building site the other day in a new flouncy dress.

It stoked memories of our youthful past some thirty five years ago when a saunter by a construction zone would see men fall to their knees and let out all manner of primal screams..

Sadly those days are gone - or so we thought.

As we wandered by, we looked up and there on the scaffolding was a youngish bloke who was definitely trying to get our attention. He didnt say a thing but he clutched his hands to to heart , which for a moment had us wondering if he wasnt suffering a heart attack , then he held out his hands in that age old "my heart is yours" gesture.

We looked around, there were no other girls around and no good looking blokes either. Yip it was for us. So we blew him back a kiss and he fell to his knees and blew one back.

We tossed our locks and grinned all the way down the street.

It was all done without a word, a woop or a holler...

Frankly, at our age we would have been just as happy with a wolf whistle or even a "Ohh yeahhh !!!"

Couth or uncouth - its doesnt really matter, what matters is that we can still command a bit of attention from blokes. It makes us feel good.

And unlike Anna Faris we dont have to do a titty flash to command attention.

BUSTEDBLONDE GOES GLOBAL

OHH my Busted Blonde has been interviewed by Wine Spectator - in the Wine gossip column called Unfiltered..

It has a lovely picture of the Busted One adorned with her Maori Portholes..

CAPRI FOR ME

There is a new restaurant in town and is a good un. Capri is so new that it has yet to get a website and its phone number is a bit hard to find but it had a full house for lunch today which shows the power of word of mouth in the Windy City.

Its sited in Featherston Street opposite D4 on the site of one of our old favourites Copita.

The ironic thing is that the outside awning is sponsored by Veuve Clicquot and it is the signature house bubbles - So up until yesterday we had been avoiding the place.. However today was good.

The decor is stunning - girly, a bit mad, a lot sophisticated and very tasteful.

The chef is Simon who has come over from the well established and well regarded St Johns.

The owner is Andy who was the man about the house at Dockside a few years back.

We decided to try a selection of small plates and we were not disappointed. The tastings are a good size for 2 people to share. So we had sticky ribs. They were sticky melty and divine..

The Blondini ordered up the duck parfait and the salmon tartare.. They were better than the ribs, the parfait was incredibly rich and smooth. The salmon tartare came with croutons, capers and shredded egg.

The final of the quads was a lovely little chicken and porcini croquettes. Perhaps they could have done with a smidgen more porcini. To accompany the meal we ordered a Mt Beautiful Pinot Gris from Nth Canterbury.. It was light and with the range of dishes on offer , not obtrusive. It was off dry, smooth with a hint of pear.

Blondini had a lovely light unoaked chardonnay.. Astrolabe and she declared it very fine indeed.

We finished off lunch sharing a rhubarb and strawberry crumble.. It was huge.. and exquisitely fresh..

The service was also fantastic.

AND THE WINNER WAS

This guy.. it was a bloody good poem..

THE NEXT SEXUAL REVOLUTION?

We think so.

The country is all agog after it was revealed that Pam Corkery was considering doing a reality TV programme on creating a brothel for women .

We are neither surprised nor dismayed by the idea.

Firstly, we need to look at the changing landscape of sexual politics. Its warped due to the intense societal shifts we are seeing. Like the fact that childless couples, rather than families are becoming the biggest cohort in our communities.

And we are becoming serial monogamists - Partners yes but often of short to medium term ( ten years.)

And while sexual interaction once required us to actually meet and engage with people we are now able to indulge in sexual activity without touching or even talking to someone.

Online is where it is at.

And there is a hell of a lot of people at it.

Ask any Broadband supplier about porn peaks.

We chat, we "date" and with skype and other video conferencing we can actually indulge in sexual play without an exchange of body fluids.

We have done a bit of a squizz around the net and everyone, this may come as a surprise , but there is a huge change in the way that pornography is now working on the net.

Once it wasn't free. With online porn it used to be pay as you go.. Or maybe Pay, Come and Go.

Now there is an astounding array of free video porn for the masses. Hours and hours of it on a huge list of sites. Popular catagories, amateur, bondage, lesbian, mature, MILF, soft, hardcore, women, and then you can sub catagorise - so blonde buxom older woman. . Its a sextrix that caters to every fantasy every taste.

Often its in low resolution, often very amateurish but some of it is high quality and some of it is obviously illegal. Girls and boys who are far too young.

Attached to the free video porn sites are the chat and interaction sites that make the porn merchants the money. After the videos wear thin the users can tap into what is a peep show.

You can take a look see first before you commit to an interactive session with a real person.

Its a virtual red light district. And you pay for the one on one or one on many - whatever your fancy.

But still no relationship.In a purely physical sense, sure needs will be met. And its very safe.

However, we are still a tactile species and the need for intimacy and touch is still strong.

So what about the online dating sites?

They are cheap. You start linking up, then you can organise to meet up and that when things can go seriously wrong. There have been murders and rapes and I suspect many women and indeed a few men have had some very bad experiences they would be too embarrassed to take to the authorities because there is still a stigma attached to online dating.

Now one cannot discount the danger of the zipless fuck - the hook up in a dark bar, the frantic mating and the hurried exit in the early hours. But normally there are others who know you are with someone. Its not totally anonymous.

So the idea of a discrete service for women who want sex with no ties but with a degree of safety is a good one. And women now have a new sexual freedom in our changing society.

The cougar phenomenon is a reality. There is a lot of alpha pussy of many ages out there. Sit them down and they will tell you that they would not discount paying for sex. It has value like good shoes, handbags, facials, manicures, champagne, cars.

But like Cactus says, its going to have to be quality. No pile drivers. No two minute tossers.

Nope. What the power pussies will want and demand - is quality. Someone who is carefully skilled in the art of pleasure. Not his. Theirs.

We reckon its an idea whose time has very simply - come.

On and in case you are wondering - we didn't go blind researching for this blog. True.

A STOUT WOMAN WHO LOVED BUBBLES

We wonder how many people will recognise this buxom woman .. she is no less that the Grande Dame herself Madame Clicquot...

BUSTEDBLONDE

Hello all,

I have had a few emails asking why Roarprawn has not been entered in the Air New Zealand Awards for bloggers ( real bloggers). Well as Busted is a little bit of bother which hopefully will be resolved soon, she decided that it would not be appropriate to enter.

However, it appears that Roarprawn could still be a wildcard in the awards which are here

As Busted can't do or say much for the moment, here are our links to some of her best work in the last year.

I like Bustedblondes impressions of Ngai Tahu politics such as this post here. I am Rangitane so I am always interested in what our neighbours in the south are up to.

And I definitely want to hear more about this issue. Scampi may be a tad historical but by Jove it has all the makings of a great yarn.

And who could forget this post about the downside of being a mistress. ( Busted seems to know an awful lot about being a consort) That post spawned an international threat of legal action because some woman claim to own the word Mistressology. The entire VRWC corner of the blogosphere came to her aid and slam dunked the Pommie blogger.

She has such an interesting family. He mother and father seem  to live every day like there will be no tomorrow. This post shows a real soft side to Bustedblonde.

And she has been a very strong supporter of Maori TV. That was apparently one of her most read columns.

She is fervently pro whaling, leaving no room for doubt. She scored a world exclusive piece of footage on the Ady Gil crashing into the Japanese whaling vessel. It was watched on You Tube over 45,000 times in less than 2 hours - before it was taken down - but not before the activists re edited it and put it up on you tube where it was viewed by millions. Busted then put it up again with reworked commentary and today it has been viewed 18,000 times.

So I am sad the Busted never got to enter the Real Bloggers awards and I hope that this list of posts will show that she would have been an admirable contestant.

Toodle Pip

BLOG ROUND UP

The best blog of the week has to be from Cactus with her round up of the Crafar mess. Fascinating.

As you may know, I'm a Brunette but I was in hysterics at a very over protective father go into bat for his freckly mini me Ginga boys on Close Up tonight. It was a silly story but great TV. I have never been the subject of ridicule but poor Busted Blonde used to get a fair old ribbing at school for having large breasts. I don't know how she put up with it.

I am missing her terribly... I understand that she has been approached by Wikileaks to work for them. How exciting!!!!

Toodle pip!

BLONDE ON HOLIDAY - BRUNETTE TAKES OVER

Bustedblonde has taken off for a while and left Roarprawn to me - the Brunette and the American Gardener. ( Incidentally I think he has increased the intellectual depth of this blog somewhat. )

So who am I? Well just a citizen of the New Zealand village. I dine out quite a bit and often with Busted and have a good cellar of NZ Pinot Noirs. So I will write about food and wine and leave the brainy stuff to the Gardener.

So today we were quite excited to see that the new but very charming and erudite Jessie Mulligan has linked his blog Auckland Food Blog to Roarprawn as a blog that contains some interesting information and insights on food and dining out in Wellington.

DISCLAIMER

This woman is not a relation of Busted Blonde . We just felt the need to set that straight...

FAB AND FIFTY

We have set ourselves a bit of a challenge. We have publicly stated that we aim to lose 50 lbs before we are fifty on July 20 - 2010 . Tomorrow is the rest of our life - so to speak.
We have set up a separate blog called Fab and Fifty here - which will chronicle the journey.

So come along for the ride, we reckon it will be an interesting one!

BUSTLESS BLONDE

We are tearing towards one of lifes great milestones - our fiftieth birthday. It hasn't crept up on us, rather its raced up to us and is now jumping up and down like some demented fox terrier demanding attention.

Now we don't really feel even close to 50. More like 42. Not sure why we think 42 - maybe it was the year we grew up a bit and we have plateaued there abouts ever since.

Now with age comes girth. Well for most of us.Charlotte Dawson is very thin. but she has had a bit of work. We are au naturelle. Wrinkles, dimples, bumps, bulges, sags and bags.

Now Cactus has suggested that this country has a problem with obesity - and it has. We fit into that camp. Funny really when we have problems fitting anywhere else. We have about 4 inches to go on our Air New Zealand lap belt before we have to get the fat bastards extension - so its time for some action.

Being big aint easy. We haven't bought a pair of jeans that dont come embedded with lycra or spandex or fitted with elastic waists since we were - 42. They are sort of fat old tarts pull ups. Its a bit like the advert below for the kids cross over nappies. They are pull ups - they are nearly undies but not quite. Well we wear pull ups pants too. Nearly jeans but not quite.

So this is our year of getting rid of a few pounds. We want to lose 50 pounds before our birthday in July .

We are going to use the blog to keep up us honest. There will be a section on the right hand sidebar that will count down to losing 50 pounds.


We will be too embarrassed not to reach our target.. and we are sure that fat hater Cactus will keep us motivated.

So hopefully the bustedblonde will be the bustless blonde.....

Any assistance, advice, ideas, motivation will be well received.

The countdown will start on February 1.

ENOUGH ALREADY !

Right for the second time in the history of Roarprawn we see the need to moderate the comments section of the blog posts. Both times it has occured over Ngai Tahu issues.

Ngai Tahu debate on the Marae is vigorous as it is on the blogosphere but people need to think before they comment.

Sowe will be moderating all comments in the coming weeks. That means you can write what you like but if we feel it it crosses the border we will delete it. If you dont like that then write your own blog.

PORTHOLES

Our father, who is relatively well known for his un PC take on life often refers to sunglasses as Maori portholes. Now cos he is a Maori he can get away with it.

Today we wore our flash 5 year old Maori portholes with pride after they rated a mention in the NZ Herald on an article on Bob Jones.

Our encounter with Jones a week ago is documented here.

However despite the fact that Jones can be a rude and obnoxious old git, we are absolutely delighted he is going to stir up next years Wellington City Council race.
Hell- a bloody loo - ya.

We have been hearing that a good team is being readied. Excellent. We want to see business savvy, creative people who can take the city to the next level.

We also agree with Jone's idea to ban all cars in the central city and turn it into a bloody great promenade and mall.

Wellington local body elections are always so bloody boring and Jones is just the bastard to spice them up. Hell we might even take off our sunglasses to attend the launch..
