Much excitement at Mumsnet HQ this week as Caitlin Moran is joining us on Thursday lunchtime (1-2pm) for a live webchat and to talk us through her latest book, Moranthology.
How to be a Woman was one of the most talked about books on the boards last year, so we're all delighted to hear Moranthology brings more chat on a brilliant range of topics: Twitter, Obama, binge drinking, Amy Winehouse, 'The Big Society', Party Bags and Boris Johnson - Albino Shag-hound. These are just a few of the subjects touched on and make us think she is our ideal guest.
Post your questions to Caitlin in advance or join her on Thursday at 1pm.
Watching the show now.
She went for the DMs and flowery dress then.
I love the way she's trailblazing 90's stuff again. I was never as happy in my clothes as I was in the 90's and it's inspired me to dust off my DMs.
If you do go with the glittery glue Nan, please pop a photo on your profile

Watching her at the Bloomsbury is like reading all the MN Classics threads at once.

buy this one it's cheap, you can build the colour, and it stays on
I used to slaver my eyelids in vaseline and stick holographic glitter to them. I used to be cool.

I'm going to do it, I'm going to go out IN PUBLIC wearing green spangly eyeshadow.
On your head be it!

I like those big palettes of cheap make up that you get from supermarkets at Christmas, the ones designed for aunties to give their teenage neices. There are always a few greens in those.
Only problem is making sure you put the same colour on each eye.

Ooh I think I met Caitlin in London! Have just checked FB and she's a friend of a friend.. I feel very special now 
Nan, you just need to find the right shade of green. One with gold tone to it perhaps? Darker greens are fabulous when a bit more metallic. I have a bit of a thing for green eyeshadow

I thought everyone had slept with Menswear? 
also, for this, I love you a lot - "Moved on to Game of Thrones. LOVING the multi-world. Also LOVING my new imperious catchphrase, "I am Khaleesi", whenever I want someone to buy me a drink. "Khaleesi needs a drink." "Khaleesi is going to the toilet." "Khaleesi has just done a little sick.""

Thanks Nan 
For all my being mean about Menswe*@*r ; I had a t-shirt. And saw them twice. I never had relations with any of them though.

Thank you so much for that link, Nan, I'm really enjoying it.
Missed it all due to bloody work.
I had sex with one of Menswe@r, Simon.

JenaiMarr my twitter name has part of my real name in so it would out me on here 
Ooh - as well as CM's article about libraries there was also her very brilliant, very sad piece on what it was like growing up with parents on disability benefit. Worth reading if you can find it online somewhere, pay wall or otherwise...

Who are you on Twitter, marshmallows? Do I follow you already?
I missed this 
The article she wrote about how dreadful library closures are is the finest piece of journalism I have ever had the privilege of reading.
I can't wait to read Moranthology; I have to wait until Christmas though because my mum's already bought it for me.

Oops that should have said CM was not part of any nastiness that I've seen on Twitter.

I googled it to try & find out the origins of the nastiness I saw on Twitter. Now not entirely sure who started the spat & what it was over, I just saw some really nasty tweets directed at her & assumed she was the injured party.
should concentrate on own life & not worrying about whether certain slebs are friends on Twitter or not.
Either way, CM
