I'm It

Sazzel dazzel aka or false glitter has tagged me i must now reveal 6 random facts about me (oh god this is bound to go wrong and require a serious amount of therapy for me)

1) I didn't speak until i was 4 years old 
There was nothing wrong with me apparently i never said anything for years i just shook my head my first sentence was at one of my mums parties she was talking to me in another language and i asked why she couldn't just speak to me in English instead things went downhill from there with me and mum.

2) I went to all girls schools till I was 18 
This explains a lot about me I hated boys when i was younger and now boys hate me excellent !

3) I wanted to be something different when i grew up
I went to uni and did a degree in history of art and classical studies i had dellusions of curating awe inspiring shows at the tate then i realised i actually need to eat and the closest i was getting to a museum job was the gift shop. Then I enrolled onto a drama course but the constant probing about my childhood put booo method acting , i left went traveling around australia and came back to work at MOre magazine i realised that it wasn't quite my idea of a rip roaring time and fell into a job at tatler and thats where it all started. 

4) I'm a pessimist who loves to daydream 
the glass is always empty  if you ask me I'm quite the morbid one but i daydream constantly every day my head is filled with stories they usually involve boys, cakes, and clothes sometimes when its really good i dream of boys buying me cake and clothes YUM .

5) I suffer from pretty boy syndrome
Its quiet frankly a disease pretty i suffer badly every boy I've every fancied has been classically good looking you know like those boys in the gap ads, I've been know to follow pretty Adonis looking boys down the street   and randomly take pictures of them (see the last ponystep i went to) whenever i get to meet one of these beautiful boys i go into complete idiot mode often telling inappropriate jokes and then i try to explain them smooth 

6) I've had my heart broken once 
never again I'm a once bitten 15 times shy kinda girl 

Right i tag discotheque confusion (she'll say something cool and witty), style bubble (like she's got time for this shizzel) and it was supposed to be funny ( because she is )

Today I've been .....



 Reflecting on this year I seem to be doing this a lot, earlier on this year  I did a brief (and painful) internship at interview magazine in new york , for some reason i really wanted to live in there its kinda a home away from home, i still love the place its just that my feelings have altered on the fashion side. On one of those hideous days  at work we did a huge shoot on up and coming New York artists the portraits were shot by Craig mcdean who I saw very very briefly at the lift that was the closest i got (sigh) anyway enough about that. My point was each of the artists photographed where each asked to give a short interview which took place in the fashion cupboard (ps its not a cupboard its a whole floor!!!!) Katherine bernhardt was super nice I loved her honesty plus she wasn't bitten by the "I'm so cool and different I'm an artist  whorship me & guess what i live in williamsburg " bug that seems to infest that city anyone who knows new York knows exactly what I mean. 

One of the many things I learnt about this industry is that fashion is well..... fashion where ever you go its like school its full of peeps who never go tiered of being mean to one another. somedays i love being in school playtime is fun but other days i just don't wanna play with anyone.

Ps kb's  paintings are above awesome awesome

A liitle piece






That's the name of the new project by Marque the  idea being that artists & designers contribute a square ( see pic's above) to a giant quilt that will be shown in London and new york and then auctioned off to the highest bidder (hmm i could really do with a new quilt) all the money raised will go to homeless charities shelter in London and Bowery mission in America.

apparently there's a VIP viewing on April 9th and then a public display on till the 15th @ the Huntington project space.
