Writing for Dork Adore means you occasionally get some very, very strange emails pop up in your inbox. Last week, I was sent the press release for an apple-shaped vibrator. I'm assuming it's for those who want a Snow White moment; or for those who want an intimate toy that doubles as a … [Read more...]
Torchwood: Miracle Day – Episode 2 – Dork Review
After a first episode that was universally acclaimed as alrightish, Torchwood resumes with a poisoning, a TV appearance and a clunky melodrama moment at the end. And believe it or not, only one of those features Captain Jack Harkness. So does this constitute an hour of excitement? You’d think so, … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Morf, the domestic goddess of apps

Dork Fashion Icon: Leslie Winkle (The Big Bang Theory)

Torchwood: Miracle Day – Episode One – Dork Review
After a few years off, Torchwood is back to pass the time while we wait for the second half of Doctor Who. And it has been controversially Americanised too – whereas Who merely set a couple of episodes there, the new Torchwood is a co-production with the US channel Starz and (even more fanbaitingly) … [Read more...]
Organise! Flex by Filofax – Review
It might seen a little redundant in this age of technology, but I'm having a love affair with my Filofax. Despite relying on technology for most aspects of my life, I've never got over my habit of relying on handwritten notes to myself: I can only plan things if they're written down in an actual … [Read more...]
Cardboard vacuum cleaner? Neat idea
I'll be honest, I thought nothing could tear my love away from my darling Henry vacuum, but my mind may have just been changed by this new product from Vax.
