My Mother told me
If I was goody
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly
My Auntie told her
I'd kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me
A rubber dolly

What do Jade Coles , Oprah Winfrey and Lil Kim have in common?



Today someone said I reminded him of Lil kim , on telling someone else this atrocious/life changing news they said i was more like Oprah Winfrey , time for a style change me think s....

some one later , possibly in guilt , crossed out 'no love' and wrote underneath 'some love' we we're still very much out of everything else though.

people at work



this is Alex , he is Swedish and likes to drink , i have head many stories about Alex , i heard he got drunk at a guy called Stephans house , took his top off and smothered himself in chocolate spread and marmalade , I heard he got so drunk once he turned up five hours late for work and fell asleep , alex is leaving for Sweden soon. Stephan has a laugh like a cartoon super villain. 

the girls at the top are called verity and Eevee, Eevee dosent like having her picture taken because she says in photos she looks like a stalker

she said that when she was at school she went on a trip abroad and in all the photos she stood slightly away from the others to one side as to not be in any of the photos but her attempt at disappearing didn't pay off and now in all the photos she looks like a loser outsider who the rest of the 'crowd' simply didn't want to hang with , she runs a on-line fashion arts etc magazine with her friends called 'ribbed'

the girl next to her is called verity , verity used to work in a 50s diner in France and has recently been dating a boy , when i asked her what this boy looked like she said she didn't really know .. and then she eventually said he was tall , hairy and not exactly attractive. 



kitsch beer


I really like this beer , mainly because of the nautical/anchor element - A drink is so much better when it goes with your outfit.

Gaggle single launch.

photos from performance

























Today i was apart of one of lawrence price's creations with the artist himself and romek , we listened to a radio show about feminism and the army , the camera swarved constantly creating a whirlwinded chracterised approach , we were spectators and actors and now , through being on the 'tv' the camera constantly circled around we were celebritys - when i watched the film back it was like watching three kings , watching a future , watching people interacting and then not interacting , listening and playing and procrastinating and trying to create meaning.

I NEED A HERO





I need a hero 

I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night 

He's gotta be strong 

and he's gotta be fast 

and he's gotta be fresh from the fight 

I need a hero 

I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light 

He's gotta be sure 

And he's gotta be soon 

And he's gotta be larger than life 





style icons 2010



STYLE ICONS

Bessie Coleman above , the first female African American to fly a plane. 

Billie Holiday beautiful and oh so troubled Jazz star.





my misled maternalism


For Christmas my friend Helena bought me a pack of seeds to create Icelandic poppies , I had never grown anything before and was really excited , the packet said it would take three weeks to flower , in doors so long as I watered it regularly and kept it near a window , which I did , It's been two months and this is ALL I have , a small bowl of mould and something which has a small amount of hope to maybe flower.I want to throw it away but the two percent chance that the amazing thing that could happen MIGHT happen stops me. 



things that make you you and make me me.
