Brianna's Christening and THE Afterparty at Chez Danoz

The lovely Dann family of Clare, Anthony and Declan recently welcomed a new addition to the family - the lovely little Brianna Dann. Below are some happy snaps from her Christening day - highlights included climbing Mount Dann (aka the driveway); the Lebanese Feast; Dave heading too close to the cliff edge in the backyard (Rush moment!) and the pink cupcakes with smarties and jelly beans - yummo Clare!!

Singstar - "Darling Donovan" Performs!

We recently headed to Taree to celebrate the much anticipated christening of our god-daughter Cassidy. The service was lovely and she was a very good girl (it's hard to stay still for such a long time!).

The next day, we introduced the Donovan's to the wonderful world of Singstar! As you can see from these photos, we have a budding rock star on our hands...

Lunching with Pink Hair

On a lovely Saturday, I headed out to Camden for my bi-monthly haidressers appointment and lunch with Ann-Marie and Nicholas. I had previously had some Burgundy streaks through my hair and thought they looked unique and nice - hence I requested more. Unfortunately, as tragic fate would have it, the blonde seemingly crossed with the red and we had...PINK!!! I naively left the hairdressers with damp hair and no clue until I got home and started to blow dry it...And began to panic. I had pink hair?! Ok, maybe it could be cool?? I caught up with Ann-Marie for lunch and ever the true friend, she assured me it was lovely and looked fine.

I woke up the next morning and decided that this was not the case and booked an appointment with the Joh Bailey hair salon in Bondi. Lots of dosh later...And my hair was blonde again with ever so slightly a hint of pink. Needless to say, I have since sought a new hairdresser.... ;-)

Be gone pink hair! I pose, a relieved blonde again
