20:30 MONDAY 12 MAY 2008

So busy my head is spinning. My interview with Ricki Lake about her birth politics documentary is in this month's issue of My Child, my interview with Allison DuBois, the bestselling author and inspiration for NBC hit, Medium, is in the June issue of Vive, my essay on the mouth is in this month's issue of Men's Style, and an essay I absolutely love will be published in the July issue of Vogue. On Saturday, I interviewed a superlative American writer - the real thing, natch - and I'm potentially collaborating on a book with a high-profile chum, on top of working on my fifth book and ... something very wonderful (more soon). Otherwise? I nearly had a breakdown this morning when my hairdresser interpreted "streaks" as meaning "significant orange patch that sits atop the head like a toupee". He didn't charge me but I was close to wringing my hands in the cab home. (Alex and Bee recognized me, which made me feel a little better.)
