It's 00:54 on Tuesday morning, I've just got home from working my last day for On/Off at London Fashion Week and I'm absolutely zonked. Over the next week the video team at On/Off will be posting the videos of the shows they hosted which I shall post on here, most of them were absolutely fantastic. I worked Pam Hogg's show today and can safely say it was nothing short of a nightmare, not enough shoes for the models and most of them were arrogant as hell. One was so rude to me that I was tempted to either smash the kettle I was holding into his skull or start to cry. Thankfully I did neither and smiled politely instead, after all, it was Nick Cave's son. Absolute :
P.S. I saw Siouxie's fanny today too! Just to brighten the mood...

I want! Buckle shoes from Bona Drag..and £98. Ah, may have to start my 21st wish list pretty soon.
Every Thursday at Punk on Soho Street, my lovely friend Scott (or Mariella Whippy if you prefer his alter ego) hosts a club night called Your Mums House. Last week he asked me to warm the place up with some cheeky beats so my friend Lauren and I did just that for the dear fee of six beers. By 11pm the place was absolutely rammed, it's well worth going to central to check it out.

Alexander McQueen SS10 & The Armadillo... Can you spot the difference?
'I entered Hypatia one morning, a mangolia garden was reflected in blue lagoons, I walked among the hedges, sure I would discover beautiful ladies bathing; but at the bottom of the water, crabs were biting the eyes of the suicides, stones tied around their necks, their hair green with seaweed.' - Invisible Cities, pg 40

Stumbled across this great blog, there are a lot of nudey shots if you want a little sexy time fun. These are my favourites: (link to site: http://2photo.ru/2007/07/20/footograf_andy_julia.html)
Inspiration for the summer season. I just bought some high waisted stone wash denim jeans, maybe I should rip them to get that 90's yank look down even better.
This tree house is pretty sick. My dad built me one when I was younger, one of the only handyman tasks he succeeded in carrying out ( he still owes me a dollshouse for my 6th birthday). I tried my first cigarette in that hut and carried out missions with friends, sadly over one winter some lone ranger set up camp in it and when i returned after the snow had melted I found a sofa, a set of silver golf clubs and books on how to make bombs. Sad times.
Movie night with Ava, Keelan and Moose. The Amanda Lepore soundtrack was pretty sick and very reminiscent of first year, when we thought we were oh so cool. Maybe not. Didn't get as far as the heroin though, that can be a quest to follow after graduation.

May have something to do with why there are now several ridiculously huge bruises decorating my leg/ass/foot. Fail. Good tights though! Thanks Ava.
This is AMAZING. AND IT'S CHEAP!!!really, it's really, really cheap. Maybe if I leave it up here some kind soul will buy it for me? :) Here is where you can buy it: http://www.econsciousmarket.com/default/women-s/alkemie-large-elephant-cuff.html
I waste far too much time on Polyvore. Just thinking about what kind of goodies I can buy with this loan installment. A pair of dangling lip earrings named after the seven deadly sins would be pretty fucking cool, shame they're around £900.
Koo Koo the Bird Girl and friends made me very happy today...can't really knock a beard like that.
Advanced Beauty by Universal Everything -
I got this for the bf for christmas and thought i'd share it with folks who may be interested in music visualization. The DVD is around £15 but you can probably stream it off the internet, these guys deserve the money though tbh. It's a collection of 18 different artists responding to music visually through computer programming. Clever, clever stuff.
