Alan Measles / Millie Jackson
Having a bit of an odd afternoon, perambulating through the backwaters and byways of the internets. The effortlessly wonderful Waffle, over Belgium way, tweeted that the incredible Alan Measles has a Posterous – and indeed a Twitter account. If you don’t know who Alan Measles is, where the hell have you been. No seriously – … Read more
Today… from Japan to Italy via Soho (Kulu Kulu & Gelupo)
Today was a day off, and what with work being incredibly busy at the moment you would think this would invite immediate frolicking/merriment, but infact I took the neurotic route and felt quite restless and on edge instead. In order to rectify this I decided to go into ‘town’ to run some errands, and ended … Read more
Listening to… Robyns (incendiary) new music.
This is from Robyns upcoming Body Talk Pt. 2 mini-album – the second of the year… the first (Body Talk pt. 1) was great – but pt. 2 sounds IMMENSE – noone does pop quite like Robyn. This video is simple and quite quite beautiful – her music doesn’t need to be tacked up with … Read more
Don’t understand this / Like this alot (Janelle Monae ‘Cold War’ video)
C’est fantastique non? Comme Diana Ross ‘The Wiz’ ?
Nice Things, nay – AMAZING things.
(Civilisation by Marco Brambilla. Consider your mind blown) (Hilarious Japanese trailer from reid p’s blog – amazing) Also the new ‘Cold War’ video by Janelle Monae is pretty intense – single shot, diana-ross-end-of-the-wiz type intensity, tres bien.
Recently… RP/Encore ‘PARK’ 2010
About a month ago I got a call from my über talented art-school friend Reid Peppard, who asked me to shoot her newest collection ‘PARK’ for RP/Encore (the jewellery studio she founded when she left uni). It is always a pleasure to collaborate with good friends, but this was a particularly exciting project because I … Read more

EULOGY MAGAZINE – DEATH IN WAITROSE M and I found this marvellous magazine in Waitrose Winchester the other day. Eulogy Magazine (website here) is being marketed as the worlds first magazine to celebrate life and death – and from a quick flick through it looks like a genuinely interesting concept. Featuring interviews with people like … Read more
5!Marvellous!Things! 17.06.10 → RIP SEBASTIAN H → JABBA CHILD → MS. MATRONIC → SYLVAIN CHOMET → MELTED BOOBS & TRASH
SEBASTIAN HORSLEY RIP August 8, 1962 – June 17, 2010 Death is not a marvellous thing – but Sebastian Horsley was, and today alas he was found dead of a suspected drug overdose – as many have pointed out already this is probably (morbidly) for the best – perversely ‘what he would have wanted’. His … Read more
5!Marvellous!Things! 16·06·10 → CISEAU SISTERS → ARRAZURIZ → MOSSE → YYY’S → TANKER LIVING
SOEURS CISEAU Coming back from London to leafy, middle class, gentrified Winchester, stepping off the train and being confronted by the BIG (very gay) POSTER for the new Scissor Sisters album was amazing. I have already seen the artwork – a stunning Robert Mapplethorpe image from the 1980s – it is just so gloriously suggestive. To … Read more
Shrine |sh rīn| (to Princess Diana & Fergie)
A couple of weeks ago I was asked by the lovely Scarlet Winter to help her out with a project she was mounting at this years Glastonbury. What I think she is staging is a sort of mad tent of curiosities – full of weird objet, performances and general fabulousness. When I enquired as to … Read more

Here is a new idea for how I do things round about this here blog… 5! Marvellous! Things! will hopefully be something I try to do every day (or as often as possible) a roundup of things which I have come across and think are really quite inspiring… 5! Because there will be five of … Read more
