Taking a break

from blogging.

Getting way too busy in life and nobody likes to read a blog that is never updated.

I'm reading more books, talking to more people and living life a little. Then I will return.

Ciao for now.



Thanks to SCOOTER LAFORGE for the photography.

I <3 the Barras

No sarcastic tone here. Its raw, real and you won't see any yuppies.



Photos on flickr...

Glasgow has such an amazing history...I can't quite believe this is Sauchiehall Street in the 1950s...not a drunken student in sight!



There is a great Channel 4 documentary on 80s band Scheme from Easterhouse...its worth checking out. Pre-tracksuits hitting the streets.

Those were the days...

A classic look, pre-surgery, hip-hop producers and struggling for credibility. There’s a greatest hits out end of 09…hope it’s a career spanning one. None of this hard candy pish!



Looking forward to the Marcus Leatherdale edition of ONE Magazine out next week. Marcus was an iconic photographer from the late 70s downtown art scene of NY and took his excellent shot of M in 1983…




Styled by Marcus…pose by Marcus…vision by Marcus – Obv. Before she developed her own.

New Tattoo

End of Exams...

Graduation in a matter of months....

Its Summer...

Can only mean one thing - I want a new tattoo. I'm thinking a skull-tat to go with my newly shaved head.




Thoughts...

Americas Next Top TrannyI

I hate Tv. Despite over 500 billion channels on offer, the quality standard has dropped below belief (Personally I only have a freeview box)...I gotta say BBC 4 is phenomenal. They had a jazz season the past few months and it was probably the best music show I've seen in at least 5 years.

Anyway...the reason I'm writing this is to say I usually go online to watch shows I like. ANTM is one I tend to entertain myself with. The other day...trying to avoid studying...I gave myself a not deserved break and watch ANTM. The phone rang half way though and I had to pause it. When I returned, this is the scene that greeted me.



I literally laughed out loud...Tyra at her best.

Paul Smith

I've always been ambivalent to the Paul Smith fan club. I kinna felt his clothes to be too childlike to be believable, but the fashion tides have turned and you know what, I am desperate for a Paul Smith Classic Suit.







This summer he will be seriously influential in the UK city streets.

Maripol

Maripol, the creative director of Fiorucci and Madonna's ripped wedding dress, rubber bangle look in the mid-80s...is a ledgend.



She is also a polaroid photographer...and my obsession with Polaroid is never ending. So much though, that skint and penniless living in NYC I managed to talk round the manager of Anna Sui in Soho to get her Maripolarama book half price!



I must've bought the book about a year ago now, but it gives me endless pleasure. It has been my bed side companion ever since...thank you for the inspiration.
