A LITTLE OF WHAT LOLA LOVES ~
KATE MOSS: THE LATEST!!



April 3 2009: opening of first US Topshop store on
Broadway by Kate Moss & Sir Philip Green (below).

In my third A Little of What Lola Loves spot, I’d
like to share with you, my dear readers, Kate
Moss’s Fall/ Winter 2009 range which has just hit
Topshop stores! Here are a few campaign images.
What do you think? Do you see any must-haves?
Pieces that will go straight on e-bay at three
times the original price?!!

Grey stripe ribbed dress (torn tights not included!)

Here are some more images you might enjoy...









But, dear readers, what’s YOUR favorite
Kate Moss look? And, more importantly,
how might it look on YOU?

Well, to help solve this potential dilemma
and, since this is an Equal Opportunities
site, we’ve asked Messieurs Pitt, Newman,
Owen and Putin
(all hanging over there in
the sidebar) to model one exclusively for us!
And as they say in THE WIRE, "Y’all feel me?"

CREATIVELY GROOMED CANINES OR... ZOMBIES?


Below are some images from so-called "Creative Grooming
Shows" where poodles and other canines are groomed to
resemble pandas, fairies, camels, horses, American football
players, dragons, dinosaurs, chickens, peacocks, even the US flag!

Non-permanent powdered paint is used, the dogs look well
nourished and the maximum prize is just $1000 (£611) which
is hardly the main incentive, given travel, maintenance,
veterinary costs etc. Nonetheless, I still find these images
disturbing. What’s your take?

Panda


Fairy


Jack Sparrow


Horse

Bison

Football player

Flowers

Rainbow


Camel

Flag

Multicoloured Paint


Flowers


Peacock


Chicken

Dinosaur


The owners and the photographer maintain that the
dogs enjoy all the attention. Of course, they have
vested interests. As a (natural!) white Bichon who's
had no "work" done, am I being unreasonable?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

LOLA LOVES spot! (And a bit more outrage...)

LOLA LET LOOSE IN LOS PUEBLOS BLANCOS!



Welcome to PART 2 of our trip, dear readers - this

time inland to Andalucia’s White Towns or Pueblos
Blancos - a series of towns and villages in the
northern part of Malaga province, mostly within
the Sierra de Grazalema and Bermeja Natural Parks.

All the villages are characterised by whitewashed
walls and terracotta roofs.The area has been
settled since prehistoric times, some of the local
caves having ancient rock paintings. Numerous
cultures have left their mark (including the
Romans) but the most influential was that of the
Moors. The narrow, winding streets have a
distinct Arabic feel, though each village has at
least one Roman Catholic Church. The
surrounding countryside is green and pleasant
and tourist activities include hiking, rock-climbing,
pot-holing, horseback riding, bird watching
and just, well, doing nothing! Viva manana!

Let’s begin by driving away from Malaga Airport
where you flew in over Puerto Banus (see sidebar pic!)
and along the coast to our first pueblo blanco, Casares...

and the view from the other side of town...

Let’s wander through its attractive streets...


and here's another...

Then on to pretty Gaucin...

what a great view of its castle, Castillo del Aguila!

Hang on! Let’s stop to do some shopping...

But it’s so hot! What would you prefer: a
coffee, a long cold drink or an apéritif?

Before we drive on to famous Ronda, let’s
pass through pretty Algatocin...

watch out for those goats!

and have a closer look at Bermeja Natural Park:

and even further afield to Gibraltar (in the hazy distance!)

before we finally arrive at Ronda and... lunch!
But first, let’s look at Ronda’s famous Puente Nueve!

and the houses clinging so precariously to the side...

Now let’s go up this street to our restaurant...

Phew! Let’s walk off lunch by hitting

the shops again ... Fancy some ham, anyone?!

Oh, look! A bullfight ad for Marbella! Ugh!

But here’s the real thing:Ronda’s own bull ring!Ugh!Ugh!

Ah! But it’s getting late and you’ve got a plane to catch!

So, let’s return to Malaga via one last pueblo blanco,
Villanueva del Trabuco, situated to the north of the city.

And have a farewell drink in this bar... That was some

joke one of you cracked!! Almost brought the roof down!

But quick! Here’s Daniel with your private plane!

Now, where dear reader, would you like HIM to fly YOU?

xxLOL LOLA:)

PAW NOTE
: Some outrageous pics for you this Saturday! xx
