The wondrous Barbara Ryan of BFR mag is putting on an ace exhibition/event at the Tatty Devine Brick Lane shop until the 3rd of September. & of course SWEAT is part of it! The launch is tonight, but you can pop along anytime to browse the zine library or even bring along your own publication to swap or add. You can also read an interview with her about the exhibition on Dazed Digital here. & you should check out her blog too, innit. I wanted to go down tonight but unfortunately after hours of traveling yesterday I don't much fancy getting a numb bum on the mega bus just yet. But I will make it down soon!

Lovely.

I'm back!

Back from rainy Berlin & sunny Paris with about 20kg extra of clothes (does flying make everyone completely weight conscious about what they buy?). Thank you all so much for the e-mails & recommendations for Berlin, I had a properly wicked time but once I've gone through my e-mails, deleted all the rubbish, put the washing out, checked my bank balance, & taken my film to be developed; I will do some proper posts all about it. For now here I am in front of (I think) the people's theater, or something. I can't completely remember where. Holding a bag full of clothes from Alex's Vintage, my impromptu raincoat from Muji (feeding all those desires I've had for a 60s see thru raincoat inspired by The Doom Generation) & in my gorgeous birthday Antipodium dress.

It's summer!

R.I.PRest in pieces & I'll keep one with me

Just about to tear myself away from Rupert Murdoch crumbling in front of the epic, wonderful Tom Watson to get on a plane for two weeks of holiday, yay! I haven't been organized enough to set up some timed posts unfortunately but in Berlin (photo source) I will have internet so maybe if I can find enough time between constantly updating news websites I can get some posts down! After that I'm disappearing into the ether so... (queue wildly inappropriate word bubble)

Ta ta for now!

Quick post to say I have FINALLY finished tumbling all my favorite looks from the past Resort, Spring & Couture shows over at ICBFASHION.tumblr.com. I know you can pick your own but I like to narrow down my choices for collages/inspiration/overview you know? It also gives me an excuse to flood this blog with more gifs! Mwah ha ha, this time a copycat of another seasons Christopher Kane collection because damn his clothes look good in quick succession, no?

& holy shit, whilst I was painting skirting board & watching prime ministers questions the Murdoch empire took a massive step back! Go us & our signatures & Ed Miliband who is frankly kicking ass right now, along with Gordon Brown, who personally I think should still be PM. I want sturdy moral politicians like him, not slick robotic evil PR machines like who we've ended up with. Looking forward to reading about the Guardian picking apart exactly how Cameron was lying in Parliament about them not warning him, because I am smug in the middle-class way sometimes. I'll go there. Although by pure definition I am not middle-class I read the Guardian, ergo it comes with the territory. Anyway enough of my extremely English internal class war...

It's sunny tomorrow.
