Hussein, you've done it again.


OK I aint gonna lie and say WOAH! at Hussein Chalayan's whole collection (as I have in the past so so so many times), however he is FUCKING good and did not dissapoint. And actually he still managed a few mind blowing gowns at the end of the show... Detail shots at the ready...


sooooo goooddd!!!!!!!!!!







love love love.

PS. fucking missed Live Alexander McQueen!!!! DAMN TIME DIFFERENCE!!!! I had it open on my laptop ready and everything... next time i look, its been and gone!! tsk!!!!! Chalayan has made me feel better though...

oh-oh-oh I'm on fire



^^^ from last night... I didnt take this... but yeah yay!!!!

OH MAN YOU TOTALLY HAVE TO GO SEE BAT FOR LASHES. srsly she is absolutly one of my favourite live performers, she is amaaazing. Her stage presence is like electricity (wow cliche, whatev), and her voice is just as good if not better than on record. And her costume was amazing too. I know thats not really important to her but I mean I guess it does create the whole live experience. basically it was a black long sleeve leotard, which I dont usually co-sign so much as a stage costume since everyone does it and its sort of boring, but she did it way well. like i said it was long sleeve with cool vertical chest panels, cool shoulers and the back was all drapey and sweet as. I dont really know who it was by but it was quite familiar to me. Anyway what made her outfit really special was this amaaaazing sparkly cape she wore over the top. I LOVE CAPES. like really so bad. so that was rad rad rad. and her band was pretty sharp too.
Anyway her music is so good live definately even better than on record. its like tribal with big drums and electricity (did i already say that?) and just awesome awesome awesome. I cant tell you enough how awesome it was. I didnt have my camera (BS) so no pics from the gig until somewhere else does a review and i can steal them.
OH and she did this amazing encore where she did a duet with a recording of herself on video. difficult to explain how cool this was.

Anyway I am just now trying to listen to her again but its a battle.

STOP PRESS!!! just found this recording of her encoure on youtube. its not the best recording but you get the idea yo.



(shes changed out of her costume by now)

more vids from last night: (WAY GOOD QUALITY!)

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...

This season Alexander McQueen will be streaming his SS10 show live on October 6th, 20:15 Paris time.... OK I have no idea what time this will be in the UK. ah you see this is why I keep missing them. Damn my unworldy time difference knowledge. Someone plz tell me the paris-london time difference? Anyways youll be able to watch here: http://alexandermcqueenlive.showstudio.com/
