Bar Raefeli upset by skinny models
Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend is definitely not a fan of the ‘lollipop look’. His Israeli supermodel flame Bar Raefeli says she can’t stand women looking unhealthy, and would always encourage them to eat more.
While this seems an easy thing to spout when you’re in possession of a perfectly curvy yet toned body, Bar does have a point. "I get so sad when I see 15-year-old pale extremely skinny models at the agency looking all shaky and hungry. when will it end?!?!?” she writes on her Twitter page.
Bar also lashes out at women who have plastic surgery. "Seriously, plastic surgery is not helping your impact on young women or your looks," she says.
And despite being voted one of the world's most desirable women recently Bar (25) says she feels sexiest when she’s dressed down. "It's a lot about how you move in your outfit and if you feel comfortable in it,” she says. "I like comfortable clothes - long dresses, jeans, shorts. I like it simple and prefer not having to accessorise a lot."

Over the Teacups
My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?
I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone
Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry
My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
