A Man of Simple Tastes


'Don't go to any trouble Mills, but as you asked what I'd like for my special dinner I wouldn't mind one of these....

and then a couple of dozen of these.....

a glass or 3 of this......
and if you really want to spoil me one of these.....

and of course, this to finish the meal off perfectly.'
HAPPY 61st BIRTHDAY EMPEROR MOTH!


I didn't know you when this pic was taken (I was still in Kindergarten!) but I reckon you were gorgeous then & you are just as gorgeous now!

    Oh that is really sweet. He hasn't aged a bit. By the way I love that white skivvie. That is a hard look to pull off and he does it with style.

    Happy birthday MOTH! So lovely to see your face, rather than your back as Millie so often photographs. You look pretty damn good for 61! Hope you enjoy the day with your gorgeous man of the house Millie. Lee x

    Happy Birthday MOTH! Now that I know you're a Virgo (like me) I can understand the extra detail needed in the bathroom from hell.
    By the way - I'm with Jane - the white skivvy is very special.

    Hope he has a happy birthday! I am sure you will treat him well.

    Can you tell me about the earrings on the blog? I am so in love with them. I usually wear the same pair of diamond studs with everything but those have me wanting something new.

    Ah Happy Birthday to your man, my man's birthday was today, fathers day the 6th of September and I too kept him happy with a nice glass of white wine, some oysters and soft shell tempura crab at a nice fish restaurant in Potts Point called Sardine...
    Definitely nice to celebrate a birthday in style with a nice glamourous (yet simple at heart) meal
