It's true, everyone loves a bad boy in a leather jacket

Happy 80th Birthday to Leonard Freaking Nimoy! You’ll always be a week and a day younger than William Shatner!

Now I think I’ll carefully sip a thimbleful of Romulan Ale in his honour.

Last week’s macho murse contest was a challenge, and strangely not ONE contributor mentioned obnoxious body spray, but we’ve finally chosen a winner:

Axe NOT body spray! Probably less deadly

Another new fashion accessory from the fabulous DEXTER line …. Simple, easy ways to transport those akward implements of torture and mayhem. “Is that an axe on your back or are you just happy to slay me?”

Congrats and imaginary swag to Jennie. For our returning champion we have the much more feminine wickedly sharp, drop-dead gorgeous Hadhafang, the sword of Arwen Undomiel from the Lord of the Rings:

now THAT is sharp-looking!

All are ready for a night of glamourous excess, but which one of us should really stop shopping from exotic dancewear catalogues?

As demonstrated by the opposite extremes of Sharon Stone and Liv Tyler, this is a look that the old and young, blondes and brunettes, hasbeens and still relevants can all embrace.  My advice is to start clambering on the bandwagon before it passes you by. Scoff into your coffee mugs all you want but really, how can you ignore the cold hard evidence staring you in the face?

You look impeccably fabulous Liv, but I don’t think that’s quite what your host meant when he asked you to turn up in your favourite shade of orange.
