La Vie En Rose

Not knowing much about Edith Piaf and getting quite annoyed by the song that was used on the Specsavers advert, I was invited to learn more and watch the Biopic movie of this Parisian lady's life.

It was absolutely amazing. Visually beautiful, fashionably stunning and pleasant on the ear. The film starts at the end and skips back and forth from her childhood to her life growing up, left by her mother, raised in a brothel, taken back by her father who forces her to entertain a crowd in the street for money, which is where she learns she has the most wonderful voice at the age of 9. The story carries on through her life, loves and to her liver failure.

Not giving too much away, but the whole film is both inspirational and tragic, and keeps your emotions busy throughout.

Now I feel as if I know Edith Piaf and want to go and sing my heart out all over town. But I won't, don't worry! 

Watch it!

Killer Heels..

I tried these on and have fallen for them, i would probably fall in them too, but I think a hospital trip would be worth it!
John Galliano Autumn/Winter OOOOOOooooh 9..

Wooden Bolts..

These are two boys that sing and play instruments and I like the way they do it, so listen to this and keep your eye out for gigs in London, Sheffield, Leeds and anywhere else they can travel to.

Tits and Arse...

I definately want to go to London's Fashion & Textile Museum to see what was going on down under in the ol' days and make myself feel better about the pain and struggle that I have with underwear and to see what they went through, as well as setting the Glamour for us lot now!!
"The exhibition presents a visual demonstration of how female underwear has evolved as women’s role in society changed. It encompasses the changing trends from the ‘flatten it’ to the ‘push it up’ to the ‘let it all hang out’! "
A decision that pops up (and over) everyday..

Opens June 12th!

WALLPAPER* MAGAZINE...

...Will soon be launching the July Issue with a 20 page story of the Erotic House inspired Soft Furnishing photo shoot on which I assisted Francesca Burns with the styling.

The story was an idea from legendary graphic designer Peter Saville and shot by Nick Knight, a photographer that I have been following ever since I bought my first issue of Vogue.

So being involved with this project was quite a privilege. 

The whole shoot was filmed and shown as a live feed to the ShowStudio website, where you can find interviews and behind the scenes footage.

What Did I Just Say...

Just seen that Dazed & Confused are reading it and lovin' it!!

I tell thee... He's a good un'... Keep your eyes out.

Comic comic comic comicameleon..

Here is a man who is quite fancy with a pencil in his hand, a cahon between his legs and pretty much anything that he touches!!

Tom J Newell is the talk of the (London and Sheffield) town with his finger in a few artistic pies since the launch of his new well awaited comic, PICTORIAL SHOWBOAT.





This is a hand drawn, 18 page, tonal comic created with hardcore love for things you may know such as Biggie (Notourious), MF DOOM, street art, folk, meaningless pictures and chez referencing plus loads more that I forget about. It is worth reading through a good few times so that nothing is missd!!

My faves, Urban Street Artists, Santa Cruz, Pull Out Poster (Centre fold) and .. well all of it actually...
