Squeamish Bikini is all about the embracing, that’s why we have a squid as our mascot. We need all those arms for the embracing! So with stingy tentacles restrained we welcome Sue to the site to tell us about her experience as a mature student on an Access course.

I was not encouraged to go on to Higher Education, I think my father felt it wasn’t really for women – get a nice civilized diploma in shorthand and typing there’s a good girl. Mostly women were expected to get married, live in a semi and have 2.4 children. That’s just how it was.

After many exclusive magazine interviews, 23 autobiographies and 590 reality TV shows finally we can now learn the truth about Katie Price with the launch of Katie Magazine. Like I was under the impression Pricey wanted to go raven black again hair-wise but from the Katie Magazine launch images I can see she is more platinum than ever.
