Hair today..Gone Tomorrow

So my hair was right getting on my tits so time for a change. I'm too spontaneous to wait two weeks to have it done by my usual Primrose Hill stylist so I thought I would chance it by going back to the new barbers Sharps in Topman.
If you recall I had a cut from the hammered barber when I was shit-faced at the third floor launch.
Now I have the perfect 80's combination of Corey Haim and Dolf Lundgren from Rocky IV. And I love it.

Monday Monday, can't trust that day!

Monday mornings can be a total drag but not when you're presented with your very own personally signed copy of the new Douglas Coupland.
The lover of one of my associates just happened to be staying at his house in Canada (as you do) and got him to sign me a copy. Much love Mother Fucker.

Loose lips sink ships.

At someones laving do last night upstairs at The Victoria in Mornington Cresent I was hot on the office gossip trail.
I love it when people have a few drinks and decide to purge all the secrets and rumors they have stored up for years to little old innocent, unassuming me. Knolledge is power.

B Store B There

The B Store B Magazine launch held at Kettners was the perfect mix of retro indie tunes, Chambord punch and hotties. Ben Perdue from W.G.S.N. featured in the magazine with a full page facial.

Pretend he just said something really funny!

Not sore after Soar

I sat with Becky from W.G.S.N. at the Tim Sore show after her hard day of papping the trendiest of the trendy at Somerset House.

Me, Becky.

The highlight of the show for me was an awesome 80's boxy shouldered single button linen suit jacket. So Miami Vice, so me. And we sat just behind the legendary Boy George.

Me,George's hat.

Launch at the Haunch.

The Spin launch at Haunch of Venison was dreary. Nothing to see whilst sipping white wine.
However wondering around the gallery without the hordes was tranquil and fun.

Paptastic.

The Brigitte Bardot and the Original Paparazzi photo ehibition closed last night with less than a flurish. The images were intriuging in the fact that you could see so much of the Moss and Shciffer in early Bardot. Creepy, boozy but over.

Wife better?

The Sartorialist's Wife was also in town to showcase her niave illustrations that were somehow linked with Gap!
With the W.G.S.N. Image Team in tow we guzzled down cocktails and giant olives.

Karis, Cher, Jodie and Me

If you happy and you know it sign a book.

I was hanging with Jodie from Chipped Red Nails Yeah as she got her book signed by the miniature and underweling Sartorialist. The champagne flowed but was the only bubbly thing in the room.

Me, Jodie and The Book inscribed "Your name here"

Red wine + beige carpet =!

Dinner party with Mick & Wendy and Sue & Colin was boozy and humerous, especially when Sue got smashed and Colin spilt red wine on the beige carpet. Classic.

Listtastic.

Apparently all 600 people were on the list for the JCDC show. So we ditched and went to the Joiners where I partied hard with Mark, the Creative Director of Smiley Face.

Me, Mark

Shine the shit.

At the opening of Petit Mal you could buy a turd on a chain for £150.

But I found my hair twin who it seemed had also gone and seem the same drunk barber in Topman.

Time and tide wait for no man.

For the first time ever a catwalk show was on time. Ioannis Dimitrousis was missed by many cause he was punctual but that did not stop him eyeing me up in a rather creepy way when we met backstage.

Fatz slag in a cave.

Tits and bling backstage at the Fatzk jewellery and accessories launch. The Opal Lounge grotto made a perfect backdrop for the awesomely religious statement necklaces.

Me and Fatz

No booze no Russell!

As I walked into Reiss on Barrett St. I heard a waiter say that they were on the last bottle of champagne so I grabbed my goodie bag and left.

Do I smell wood?

Grape martinis or Grapetinis slip down like water and thats exactly what they were doing at the Issey Miyake fragrance launch last night.
Hanging with SueBo (a.k.a. Steve Doyle from Buckstyle) in the Conduit St. store discussing the best place to get bow ties I felt my face slipping as the vodka took hold.

Me, SueBo

Topman about town.

Topshop, the biggest shop in the world decided that it wasnt big enough and opened another manswear floor last night. And it was filled with the same old rubbish.
The only new addition is a barbour shop.
Never get drunk and ask a drunk barbour to cut the back of your hair when he doesnt have a mirror to show you it hen he is finished. Especially when they are serving mini pies to you. Way to Sweeny Todd for me.

Emma from W.G.S.N. was on great form as usual.

China may be creative but the books a dud.

The launch for China's Creative Voice book was held in Ping Pong last night and at least half the crowd was only there for the amazing dim sum. Not only was it great but it looked like my hair.

It was awesome to see Usaln again but he was staying away from the food as he had the squits.

The only thing I can say about the book is that my bag is so much lighter without it in there.

I am the one and only.

Whilst you were holed up at home avoiding the rain I had all the attention I wanted at the My Sugarland...Reused and Remade Workshop.
My Sugarland is an awesome shop that combines the best of high end, real vintage and graduate designer clothing and accessories.
The idea was for jewellery designer Bernadette Deddens to showcase her talents and show us how to make beautiful and functional jewellery from old nicknaks and household item.
I arrived to a glass of Rose and owner Zoe Lam talked me through the philosophy of the store. She does not follow trends but gives the best ideas of the season a nod and a wink and then gives the theme a twist of her own.
Not only is the space filled with beautiful items but had an array or curiosities to amuse the eye. Including a porcaline horse and wooden Ramany Gypsy Caravan that have been sold to a Big Issue seller who is paying it off by the week as a Christmas present to his Gypsy girlfriend.
As I was the only person who went to the event all eyes were on me and as requested I had brought a selection of old crap for Bernadette to transfom. And she did.
The one-off bespoke necklace is a combination of old holiday keyrings, Topshop tat, paperclips and chain. Its awesome and even has a function to let you change the length of the piece.
Altogether a great night. I loved being showered with attention and for once it was a pleasure and not a chore to chat in a work related field.

Me,Tetsuo,Bernadette,Zoe

Let's start at the very beginning.

Today we make history. I have been out and about socialising for most of my life and now it is time to put it down for prosperity. This will include the good, the bad and they seriously ugly.
