About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Martini girls

The Darling Sisters, Darla and Blossom, separated at birth but now together and having a ball! The Darling sisters are dedicated to style, good manners and individuality.Darla is the Darling Sisters’ resident fashionista and Miss Manners. Her philosophy is that life should be experienced with great shoes and a glass of champers. Oh, and red lipstick and Cuban-heeled stockings. Men should always offer a lady a seat and notice what they are wearing – unless it’s followed by “Is that new, and how much did you spend?”! Darla has been teaching “Charm School” for a couple of years and has met some amazing people. Don’t forget, charm WILL get you everywhere! With her totally gorgeous sister Blossom, Darla tries to make the world a better place to live in.
Blossom is the Darling Sisters' food and beverage expert. Her philosophy is that life is a gift that should be experienced and appreciated with all of the senses. We are definitely here for too brief a time to be expected to tolerate silly restrictive diets, poorly-made cloying cocktails and boorish table manners. Blossom feels very fortunate to live in Australia where we have access to some of the loveliest foods and beverages that the world can offer, not to mention glorious landscapes, clever artists and fascinatingly diverse people. Blossom's idea of the perfect evening is to meet interesting people from across the world while listening to excellent jazz, and clutching an elegant glass containing a perfectly-made extra-dry Martini. Everything seems so much nicer that way.
We are delighted to be joined by Captain Darling, our hero..
Captain Darling is our Geek Culture expert. You may have a mental image of the archetypal geek; fortunately you couldn't be more wrong! Behind his dapper David-Niven-meets-the-Brigadier-from-Dr-Who appearance, the Captain has natural charm and the burning desire to navigate the choppy oceans of cyberspace with true style. From graceful gaming to immaculate IM, the Captain is happy to share his helpful hints. Furthermore, he opens champagne bottles with great savoir-faire: always the hallmark of a true gentleman. The Captain is at his happiest when seated before his computer in his private study with a bone china cup of well-brewed tea or a crystal tumbler of excellent Irish whiskey by his side, and his faithful hound at his feet.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

David Niven (sigh), The Andrews Sisters, Biggles, James Mason, Josephine Baker, Mae West, Cary Grant, Bela Lugosi (oh, that accent!), Lauren Bacall and Glenn Miller.
