DAILY DOSE OF CUTENESS (Victoria)

I was definitely in need of a cute animal fix this morning and the following certainly helped alleviate my Monday blues.

THE END OF PAGE THREE GIRLS? (Sian)

As much of a part of British culture as sausage and mash, turkey at Christmas and Coronation Street, The Sun’s page three girls may be no longer if what Rupert Murdoch has hinted at on Twitter is to be believed.
After receiving a tweet stating that page three was “so last century” he replied saying, “you may be right, don’t know but considering. Perhaps halfway house with glamorous fashionistas.”
So now we just need to see what The Sun’s version of “Glamorous Fashionistas” actually is…
