Playmates on Twitter - Complete List Of Playmate Twitter Accounts


Playmates on Twitter? - oh yes! Playmates in the Playboy mansion apparently do have time to tweet... and here's my list of as many Playmates as we can find on twitter!

Hugh Hefner founded Playboy in Chicago back in 1953. The very first issue had Marilyn Monroe as the centrefold. Since then the cheeky bunny logo has become an internationally recognised symbol and the magazine has featured no end of lovelies within its hallowed pages.

The second issue of Playboy saw the introduction of Playmate of the Month. Since then, each and every month a new Playmate can be found gracing the Playboy centrefold, with one lucky Playmate being personally chosen by Hugh Hefner as Playmate of the Year. The current holder of that accolade is Jayde Nicole, the first Canadian to hold the title in 26 years.

The Playmate Data Sheet appeared in the magazine for the first time in 1977, and tells you everything you need to know about your favourite Playmate such as ambitions, turn-ons and turn-offs. Playmates on Twitter - Complete List Of Playmate Twitter Accounts - Read Full Story

Forest of Dean Wildlife


The ancient Forest of Dean has literally been around for thousands of years. It is known that people exploited the oak trees in the area as long ago as 2000 years. Since then, the forest has been subject to a number of laws which were all primarily aimed at protecting this unique and rich eco-system. Indeed, some of these laws are still in existence today and show no signs of any imminent repeal.

Few, if any, woodland areas across the United Kingdom would be able to compete with the range and complexities of the species of flora and fauna that exist in this forest. The Forest of Dean is known to be home to many mammalian species and these include hundreds of fallow deer and now even wild boar have been re-introduced into the area. The forest is one of the best places to visit for ornithologists as it has peregrine falcons and many other interesting and rare species of birds. Forest of Dean Wildlife - Read full Story

European Cheese -The Top 21 Best Types


Some people are satisfied with throwing a slice of processed “cheese food” onto a bologna sandwich and calling it a day. Sorry to say it, but these people don’t actually enjoy cheese. Real cheese lovers are the folks who would eat a whole pound of camembert cheese without so much as a cracker or a glass of wine to go with it. The only thing that stops from doing that is the fact that we’d be paying for such reckless behaviour with indigestion for the following month.

If you’re a cheese lover, but you’re just getting acquainted with the idea of exotic cheeses and you don’t want to blow too much money on some perfectly aged brie cheese without knowing whether or not you’ll like it, the following list of European cheeses should serve as a nice little primer course.

If you want to know just how much of an impact Ricardo Montalban made in Hollywood, just consider that, when he first arrived in Tinseltown, the studios wanted him to change his name to Ricky Martin, fearing that his “Mexican sounding” name would tip moviegoers off when they tried to pass him off as a dark skinned white guy.

Ghostwriting - My Top 10 Books I WISH They had Hired a Ghostwriter For!


Ten Books we Wish were Ghostwritten

Guessing from the title, you might think this was simply a list of the ten worst books we could come up with. To be clear, these aren’t simply bad books, some of them, in fact, aren’t bad at all. Rather, these are books that maybe had an interesting idea at the core, a great character or two, or a good story, and the only problem is with the writing. In other words, these are books where the author had inspiration, a funny idea, or a good story, but simply lacked the know-how, life experience, or plain old storyteller’s instinct to achieve what they wanted with their work, or maybe they put out a pretty good book, but one that would prove to be a bit of a chore to read through.

In no particular order. Ghostwriting - My Top 10 Books I WISH They had Hired a Ghostwriter For - Read Full Story

Mary Oliver - The History, Accomplishments And Life Of A Poetic Legend


Mary Oliver is not an American Primitive or a lacramose Romantic. Her poetry celebrates the forces and reality of nature. She writes of death and life and the beauty of nature eternal. Oliver notes its spirit, its silence, its wonders.

Whether she is writing about a skunk cabbage, a fox or the blaze of autumn in the sky, she is writing about the reality of nature. There is little about the self-portrait in her work.

Although she revels in the past, there is only a self-realization through the natural world. Mary Oliver - The History, Accomplishments And Life Of A Poetic Legend: Read Full Story
