Animals that made me smile today. (I want a pet)






JKR - Champions of Design

I've thought about printing this out for a bit of holiday reading but decided that it's slightly too sad to be thinking about brands while on a relaxing break. But I strongly recommend that you click the link and read the pdf online. here. Hmmph nothing that I've ever designed in there YET!! ;0)

Someone please go to this on my behalf...

So gutted to not e able to go to this, I love Boom Boom club - and I was only recently saying how I'd love to go to a massive mansion party then wham! This pops up. Arrggghhh-



Passionate Valentines, poetic vintage aficionados or those celebrating birthdays will thrill to A Moveable Feast - White Mischief's first private country house party.
Set in a Grade One listed, 17th-century manor house just outside London, A Moveable Feast will recapture the enchantment of their Hallowe'en "Bluebeard" and "Sandman" parties of 2008/09 but amidst charming grounds away from the bustle of the city. Together with their friends at Boom Boom Club, whose notorious revels at the Old Vic Tunnels wowed London throughout last year, they are peppering ambient performances around this stunning historic Inigo Jones manor house, with dancing in the vaulted stone cellars. Fine food tailoring comes from dining club Penny Fathers, who will fill your stomachs and steal your hearts in unexpected corners of the building such as the Carnal Crypt, the Roasting Yard and the Tableau du Gourmand. For those who can't tear themselves away there are a small number of rooms available for overnight stays followed by breakfast.


Due to the uniquely intimate nature of this event tickets are extremely limited with tickets and rooms offered first-come-first-served in order of payment. Earlybird tickets are £85 per person including food. tickets here

Anchor redesign.











We're outta here...

Saturday we set off to Nicaragua on a fortnight truck drive from coast to coast across volcanic planes and into the wilderness. Here's a quick map of our planned route incase we get taken by snakes and anyone needs to come and rescue us.
Seeee yaaaa

this actually IS amazing and I don't understand it.



1. Stare at the red star on the girl’s nose for 30 seconds
2. Turn your eyes towards the wall/roof or somewhere else on a plane surface
3. Keep blinking your eyes!

Interesting toilets - rubbish bar.

This bar is rubbish - Revolution in Covent Garden, anyway it's had a 'refit' apparently, and the one thing that is interesting is the mish-mash of madness that is going on in the women's toilets. Firstly the door seems to be made out of loads of lego bricks assembled and then glued together, actually that's pretty good. Once inside you are greeted by a hall of mirrors which had girl after girl pushing through desperate to see what their post-christmas ass looked like from all angles - I didn't even dare! My male companion informed me later that the mens is actually a row of brightly coloured buckets. yuk.
  




The wall of mirrors which made me stop to ponder once again the question which has plagued me for most of my adult life - is my parting on the right side? When possibly I should have spent the time wondering instead why I've got such hoofin' massive hands. Verdict - don't go in for a drink, but if you're passing by and need a wee......

Rome in a day and a half.








and the photojournalist Steve McCurry exhibition at the Museum d'Art Contemporanea Roma. I'll admit that I hadn't heard of him before - but his work is well known around the world and featured regularly in National Geographic. If this exhibit comes to London - or you pop over for a day in Rome - then go!
Quite funny to post his beautiful work after my crappy holiday snaps from my phone...
