So I have this Facebook friend. She has, shall we say, modelling aspirations, and frequently posts photos from her shoots.
There are a few classy ones – think long flowy dresses on the beach – but by and large they’re more of the bikinis, cars and leery guy mag ilk. Topless, even with strategic coverups.
It’s equal parts mesmerising and gross, but aside from the pictures, I really enjoy the rest of her status updates. Ever had a similar situation on Facebook? Maybe it’s time I hide her posts.

Blast from the past:
A year ago I asked for your take on the pros and cons of living with friends, and touched on how my dreams have changed over time.
The year before that I indulged in a very decadent day by my standards and talked about my family history and its effect on my money personality. Apparently I was feeling pretty introspective, also writing that post on having immigrated at a young age and tattoos and heritage (and, er, I’d forgotten all about the resolution at the end of that post).
And in 2009 I asked what you’d do if money was no object, contemplated the life of an army wife and counted my relationship blessings.
Hope your weekends are going well!
