A pair of very smart spectacles
Ordered a pair of spectacles on Ebay. They were meant to look like Elvis Costello meets Janine Haines, sans perm. Or this. Or maybe even this. They don’t.

READ MOREStuff we like: Home funerals and feminist weddings

Lame. Meanwhile, some columnists are calling shenanigans on the whole “ugly duckling” story. Come on guys: she IS ugly [...]
