TOO LONG SINCE I BLOGGED

But not as long as a dubstep party. Manara was feeling me. Sweet relief when Faggatronix did their set!



Okay so check out all these really vital vibing people in this video.

"It's emotional music, it's physical music" [Trust that to be Yank who says that btw]
I've spent the last half an hour looking for YouTube videos of people doing dubstep dancing. There are none. For me, this disqualifies Dubstep as real music. Cause there are only documentaries...
People look really weird dancing to Dubstep. A bit like monkeys hang from a tree with the good bits in the music, only their feet are also still on the ground bouncing between the two. Or when the music is boring [a lot] bouncing their heads around like the music is a lot. OMG - the dance is a bit like the funky gibbon that The Goodies did back in the 70's. YGM?


I mean there is this video - but it is more about the squirrel. You get me.


Anyway - I guess someone loved the party as much as I did.

The evening started a lot better though. The day was spend in the Katharine Hamnett studio eyeing of Koffi and Jen as they moddeled for the new webstore shoot shot by Alex Sturrock and styled by my long lost love, Becky Seager. I think we met in another life. Here is Koffi wearing some of my glasses frame from my collection -

WHAT A SMILE!!

This is Koffi and Kesh modelling for the Spring Summer collection that I dragged around Europe with Roxy due for delivery in store February 08. This colourway - Frenchy / Pistachio was a personal favourite.



It is part of my job to check the colours on things now when the samples come back from the printer. If I'm not happy with something, I have to take loads of pictures like this, or ones with rulers and document it all. You should see my MyPictures folder on my work computer. Non stop thrill.

Anyway - after the shoot my ribs were killing me!!! I wore that fucking dirndl [I do have brusies!!!] and Jen had been hitting tennis balls across the studio and I had to climb all over the place to get them again. I went into the West End and met up with my lifestyle coach Daniel Lee. When I had seen him last, he had told me I was 100% prime B-Boy gash only my shoes were all wrong. This time I made more of an effort, only to be told that I had it all wrong. At this revolting party, my shoes would get ruined and it was all about New Era caps. Whoops. I had just given away my STL New Era that Nameless gave me I never really like in the shoot to Koffi...


I thought they might be more lucky for me as they are the Valentine's edition Nike with the love heart sweets printed on the inner sole. Thank God they were not as most people at the party later had dreadlocks. Well I wonder if that is worse than dating a guy who is bald? Never mind - I'm apparently fat - we all have our own cross to bare.

Once the shitty one man band had stopped in Trisha's, the inhouse CD's started getting played. Phil Collins was on so we were all talking about that Cadbury's ad with the Gorilla. My lifestyle coach Daniel was telling me the music he had been listening to before he came out. I told him I had been listening to Li'l Kim. He told me I had failed the 100% Gash test again because if I was really hip hop I would only listen to shit like Phil Collins at home. He had seen a documentary on Ice T [I think it was him... I wasn't taking notes... Hope there is no pop quizz next time I see my lifestyle coach....] who had every Phil Collins record ever.


My lifestyle coach on the Golf Course of life.
We took a nice bus ride back into town past the unfortunately named St Paul's Cathederal. I will never return to Stepney again. Not if you pay me.
The whole thing was eerily like Rephlex raves from 13 years ago when Ed DMX was still making funny music [It's DMX and the Possee!! - LOLZ] and I was just to XXCENCOREDXX XXCENSOREDXX on the back of a tour bus coming back from Brighton. Aaahh Good Times.

Speaking of Possee's

We are the guests of SLASH. DJ Venom didn't really want Philippa and I to play at all, in fact he didn't even bother to tell me I'm playing til the other day. On these grounds I intent to make the evening as excruciating as possible. :)

Another lovely thing friends to for each other:

If you didn't see it on my Facebook already, look what Superduck drew for me! An exquisite portrait of me! All inspired by the 2girls1cup.com video I had recommended to him for viewing delight.
