What I arrived home in/went out in last night:
Spent the weekend trying to cram read Angela Carter, visiting exhibitions, watching Breaking Bad on the internet (bad I know, but where else could we see series 3?) & searching for vintage shops in Paris. Have a giant list composed of writing them from books at work & TFS.
Do you have any tips? I would ADORE some advice from someone who's been recently. I know my basics like Free P Star, Come on Eileen, Kiliwatch & the markets (Vanves, Ouen & Clignancourt) but have been searching for less 'obvious' but sure ones...
Also can't get this song out of my head. Old but still good:

BOOKS
Reading Now -
The Life & Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentlemen
By Lawrence Sterne
One of the first postmodern books. It's a challenge
& a half but well worth the effort if you're into this kind
of thing... A Cock & Bull Story was based on it.

Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man
by Bill Clegg
Memoir of the notorious literary agent with the monster
of all cocaine addictions. Have you read A Million Tiny
Pieces? If not you should, but I figure this'll be along the
same lines... Although maybe Oprah will stay away this
time. I like books about drugs ok?!

The New Decor at Southbank/the Hayward Gallery
Collection of 30 artists who do interior design inspired
installations. It's more art though. This thing below by
Monica Bonvicini was a highlight but it was all good

Hussein Chalayan at the Lisson Gallery
He is perhaps by absolute favorite designer and I
pretty much fell madly in love with him after seeing his
exhibition at the design museum. So I CAN'T WAIT to
see what he does here. I will tell all once I've been

Sorry for the disjointed post. Running out the door to buy flowers to fuel my new gardening obsession (will post pics when it's more perfect!) & then too work & I've got too many thoughts now this summer things started & I have been left to entertain myself.
What have you been up too?
I want to see that exhibition at the Hayward gallery so much, I've been on holiday for about three weeks and haven't been to London once! Not good :(
ReplyDeleteAnd I've been looking out for a (preferably cheap!) American Apparel cape on ebay too, but no such luck.

Still lovin' those shoes and your tattoo.
ReplyDeleteI've been missing you! And staying in and having nights alone with my boyfriend and lot's of good food.
The interior designing thing looks really interesting, I might research it! (We're having an extension and my mum is looking for "inspiration")
