"When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there's no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?” - Carrie Bradshaw





Welcome to a blog that delves into the world of debaucherous, frivolous fun. Where Absolutely Fabulous meets Bridget Jones, with a twist of Sex and the City thrown in.


The epiphany for the name came one evening when a sweet taxi man, from Mumbai, was taking my friend and I home after an Xmas party. Having found out we were both single, in his striking Indian accent, proceeded to say, "Why you single in Sydney? You are too much of beautiful! You must come over and let my son cook you a curry." Needless to say, the two of us rolled out the cab with the mirth of those that have been partaking in the consumption of too many alcoholic beverages. It stuck with us, and when I was beginning to put this together I couldn't help but smile and type that question out.

For the last two years I have lived the life of a carefree singleton without any long-term constraints of the modern conformity of a relationship. I have delved into a few weeks with some interesting male counterparts but nothing that has withstood my constant desire for spontaneity and a need for change. I have a restless soul that finds normality something of a fable inhabited exclusively by characters in movies and novels. I have traipsed the globe from South Africa to the Middle East, Europe and now Australia. It has been a whirlwind of activity with a central eye on one element, that of the ultimate hedonistic pursuit.

These posts will be a chronicle of not only my embarrassing and hilarious moments but an opportunity for me to capture the essence of a 21st century woman with the aspiration to strike her own path on this red earthed continent. Always of an enquiring mind, it will offer the opportunity to engage like-minded women on the eternal conundrum that is Love, Life and everything in between.

I want this to strike a chord in you, whether you are single, married, recently divorced or just plain tired of the male species. Please feel free to post your questions, comments and stories and I will happily share them if you so wish
