GREAT BOOK

                              

THE WINDSORS

My friend gave me these great sweets he bought in Africa (I assume post 1997 quite great they're still using Diana), they'd be the perfect snack for the wedding apart from the fact that they taste like alcoholic plastic.

MMMMM

              

BRISTOL SEA

Forgot about him, stuck on the fridge at Park Street.

APRIL SUN

It's APRIL. 

CHIC AUNT

Obviously hipstamatic makes everything look ridiculously great but she was looking brilliant to start with, such good colours - scarf, earrings, nails, glasses, ring and phone case.

THE SHOES!

are incredible. The rest, not so much. (Old Chanel, photo Scott Schulman)

DEADLINES

What revolting woodchip wallpaper.

It's 02:46 and I still have 1,000 words to go. Tempted to use that three letter sentiment (fumbler without the uber) so beloved of bloggers/idiots everywhere but it would probably be more rewarding to clean my mirror.

MOSCHINO CAMPAIGN

HALF TORERO HALF COWGIRL? 

ALMOST THE WEEKEND!

MORRISSEY LOVES POSING WITH CATS

PRESENTS

Josie saw my post about horsey shirts and found me this for Christmas. It's old Benetton and makes me grin so much, the photo is crap but such amazing colours.

JORGE ELICH

Yesterday I got quite absorbed googling circus accidents, a remarkable number of which involved animals, mostly elephants, accidentally killing people. I eventually ended up finding this eight year old Spaniard who has been taming lions since he was five. Quite amazing?

HIS SOCKS

JOSIE V&A

Josie's outfit blending right into the V&A cafe

I HEART ART

Kate got a great new Moschino jacket, apt for the art student, it says I HEART ART on the back.

MONGOLIA

According to the National Geographic this photograph records a traditional Mongolian death penalty - leaving the accused in a box to die of starvation. I was expecting to see a magician with a saw somewhere in the background.

There's a great selection of colour images from the turn of the century in the Albert Kahn Collection.

TEEN SPIRIT

Apparently the deodorant came first, ouch.
 

AUSTRIAN TAXIDERMY

I went to Austria just before Christmas, Austrians have a pretty amazing sense of interior design which seemed to include lots of dead animals stuck to walls. Taxidermy reminds me of a brilliant Roald Dahl story well worth reading called The Landlady about a devious pensioner with a penchant for beautiful young men. 

MODERN MORTICIA?

REALLY?

There is such a big place in the world for silk bombers but it was definitely fifteen years ago, regardless of what pseudo-political shouter M.I.A would have you believe.

RAW LIKE SUSHI

 
Oh NENEH! I definitely bought this record to look at I don't even have a record player. I can't work out if that makes me a wanker or not

TIME TO LEARN

00:56. I find it very difficult to cultivate a sense of urgency in the days approaching a deadline.
I'm at the beginning of one of those horrible nights of coffee and happily sleeping people in all the other bedrooms.
