The Days of Early September
We should be starting this month off on a high, after all, not only is September Nicola's month in the Girls Aloud calendar, but she also gets to be a solo cover girl, as the new issue of FHM has five different covers allowing you to pick your favourite Girls Aloud member. As a result of this we fully expect to have difficulties finding a copy of Miss Roberts' cover, although only because her edition will naturally be the most popular and it definitely will not be down to them printing hardly any of her version because they don't think it will sell as much. Right? Right.
The problem is, though, that we're not happy despite those glorious ginger gifts. Instead we're feeling quite down and depressed. The reason for our misery isn't that Jamie Cullum is still alive, although that isn't helping matters, but is down to this news item that was filtered through the Scissor Sisters board and eventually turned up over at Popjustice. The person reporting this had been to CD:UK to see the Sisters perform, on the same day that Girls Aloud were doing an appearance, and they state the following:- "The ginger one was always on her own, they just leave her. She kept walking around randomly going into the wrong rooms". Shocking, we know. We're not entirely sure how accurate this story is, especially given that the integrity and accuracy of the reporter must be questioned as they followed up that quote by saying "It was funny" instead of stating that this tale is surely one of the most tragic and depressing in human history. We feel a great need now to find her, hug her and tell her everything's going to be alright. To prepare for this we've been practicing on our red-haired mannequin that we definitely didn't steal from a skip outside a shop and we feel that we'll be able to cuddle her with just the right mix of tenderness, concern, reassurance and subtle bum feeling.
