Happy Friday Dotties! What a Wintery week it was! I am so looking forward to bunking down inside this weekend- I have knitting, cheese fondue and a few good cocktails on the menu. I am pretty sure I was made to live in the 1950s for all my love of the charm of the era, but you can bet I love the modern technology of electric blankets!

Winter is certainly not making the Polka Dot blogs any less busy – we have been packed with posts from ear to ear this week, so let’s round them up!

We get a lot of casting calls and vet which ones we pass onto you pretty heavily. Channel Seven is casting for a new show about couples in  “diverse, multicultural or socially progressive relationships that believe that against all odds they are destined for one another.” They’re looking for relationships that might be interracial, interfaith with big age gaps or other issues that may cause struggles. The end result of the casting will be a documentary that creates awareness of different cultures, values and ways of life.  To apply, visit this link.
