A few things and some DIY l.o.v.e

First of all, check out my war wounds from yesterdays day of filming in a field. I had to do this wierd thrashy conceptual dance. I got totally into it and this is the outcome. My whole body is also pretty much killing me today. motherfuck!

Here are some accessories I wore today.

Rabbit necklace: vintage christmas decoration, Shark Badge: From London Aquarium, Panda: Fingerpuppet, gift, worn in pocket, neckscarf: vintage, T shirt and red courdroy shirt: Both charity shop/vintage.

Lastly, Im doing osme DIY shit AS WE SPEAK. Ya see these yellow skinny trousers?

well I havent worn them in forever, not for like 3 years or somehting, so I thought it was to update them. Basically I dont know if it will work but it will all be fun either way. What Ive done is ive marked two stipes down each side with brown parcel tape.
I then bought some black dylon washing machine fabric dye, and hopefully the tape will be strong enough so that once theyve been dyed I will have a shiney new pair of black skinny jeans complete with rad yellow side stripes. they are in the washing machine as i type... results later...

Fashion Vs Art

Yesterday it so happened I was forced to choose between two of my lifes loves, art and fashion. Yesterday was the one LFW event I had been able to get an invite for. I had also been invited by one of my fine art tutors, Susanne Clausen, to be an extra/performer in a new film project she was making.
In the end I decided to go with the latter. I think Ive pretty much bogged myself down with as much fashion as I can get in the last few weeks so I thought it would be a refreshing change. Im pretty sure I made the right choice. So far filming has been a good experience. Hard work - and Ive got the scrapes and aches to prove it - but rewarding and a good experience. And althought Im not completly sure in my head about the concept of the piece, it is slowly coming together in my head and I can really get into it. Costumes have been made by another of my tutors, Christine Ellison (aka Polly Fibre), and theyre pretty sweet. sort of like long simple tunics in various colours, bright neon aprons, and (my favourite part of the outfit) metallic skull caps with ear flaps. I took a few pictures today, ill try and get some more tomorrow. you get the picture.
Siobhan is also involved in the project.

Check out the Szuper Gallery website for other video projects by Susanne and Pawlo. www.szuper.org

I H8 UNPACKN

true story.

Ive moved back to Reading for the start of a brand shiney new term. fun fun fun except ive had to do a total room switch around due to the fact I have too many magazines to fit onto my bookshelf... at least I can put my actual books back onto it now. I have stacked the mags on my desk. It is to become a drink free zone from now on, I have had too many spills on this desk and I dont think my conde nast could handle it. ALSO I have a few reviews to do once Ive bought a new scanner. AnOther, Dazed and vintage 1988 i-D. fuuuuun.
