summarising the Sundays

You can always count on the Sundays to deliver some really incisive stories, but several outdid themselves yesterday:

- Cupcakes! We love them! The phenomenon of these diminutive treats was attacked with true journalistic verve, leaving no stone unturned, with the team of journos consulting Professor Richard Shepherd of the University of Surrey, who sheds light on the burning question of why people like cupcakes: "There is also a strong underlying psychological association between these small cakes and childhood." Freudian (The Mail on Sunday).

- Kate Moss wears dresses, has very little to say, mysteriously unbylined journalist concludes, "As Moss says, when asked if she's varied the way she dressed as she's got older: 'Ha! No!' She pauses. Then she laughs. 'I still think I'm 17.' So do we!" And journalist then presumably stabs self in eye with pencil (The Observer).

- Enough revelations in one article to make your head spin: hairdresser Nicky Clarke is heterosexual, employs ladies of the night, is very thrifty (NOTW).
