It's now been a good few day since the end of the G20 in London, and I think I've finally digested this past week's events enough to blog about it properly. From my perspective, there are a few key points I keep coming back to.
The first of which was Douglas Alexander talking about international trade development at the first briefing of the day. I was proud that one of our G20 Voice bloggers, Rowan Davies from

Apparently, today is National Cleavage Day... in South Africa. This holiday has been around since 2002, and is sponsored by Wonderbra. But thanks to Twitter's new "trending topics" sidebar, it's gone from one country's holiday to a national trend.
Samantha Paterson of Wonderbra says that NCD was started to call attention to women's independence and power. "It is a day for women to realise that their cleavage is something unique and that they should be proud of it. It gives women a cha...

As you may have, heard today is the G20 Summit in London, and the First Couple are in London. The Obamas have been making the rounds with the Royals and the Browns, and Sarah Brown threw a dinner for Michelle Obama with a group of "elcectic women" on the guest list.

This morning, at around 8.30am, a bus full of bloggers headed across sunny London for a day of discussion and debate. Since then, there's been an air of expectancy playing out all day. We're still not entirely sure what's going to happen tomorrow as this is the first time bloggers have been given 'inside' access to such a high profile Summit. There's really no point of reference. However, it's obvious that regardless of our different experiences and opinions, we're all going to make the most ...

Feminism is alive and well, but has the women's movement died out? It's true that in the United States, the women's movement hasn't ever been able to recapture the glory days of the 1960s and 1970s, but does that mean its dead? Or does that mean it has changed with the times?

You know on the news how you hear a lot about "snarky bloggers" and how proper journalists and reporters hate how we - bloggers - are irresponsible in what we say and do and don't appreciate the influence that we have?
I have to agree.
For every 10 kick-ass, articulate bloggers, there are about five who have a hard time forming full sentences, avoiding the word "asshat" and spew racisit/misogynist/stereotypical bullshit like it was going out of style.

Headlines on both sides of the Atlantic are aflutter with news that UK Home Secretary Jacqui Smith expensed PORN! Yes, YOU are paying for Jacqui Smith's personal, nasty porn habit!

I do not have any children. In fact, I don't know if I ever will have any children. I feel this way for numerous reason, among those being:
1) I don't really like kids

3) I'm selfish
