Sis, its 'ground force' silly !!
Sister, yes, I saw Marina on J Wos a few weeks ago - she is beguiling and should go far as a front lady. Needs some good songs tho' !
You are right about Self - I know what you mean with his soporific voice, but it was really the subject I was interested in. There is another tonight, so I will be listening !
Anyway, this is another distraction from concentrating on a drawing, rather set of drawings and a dead line ! So, I will leave you with this - my thus far fav show from LFW (I know it is 'so last month')
http://www.richardnicoll.com/ FYI I like outfits 7, 11, 28, 30, 31, 33 & 34. I can't copy any pics so you will have to look !! Its an obvious 'me' choice - manish tayloring with very femine fabrics. Really like it, and hope the very different proportions and shapes will filter down to the high street and into my wardrobe !
Love you sister xxxxx

Quite frankly yes
Hi sis, been having a listen to Will Self and although I get the gist, well I'm struck by two things
1. His voice warps me into a confused lull (this is not entirely unpleasant)
2. Unfortunately I can safely predict that even after a whole year's enjoyment of 'word of the day' I will still not have such vast a vocabulary as Self - I'm not sure what he's going on about...This doesn't make me thick does it sis? I know Radio 4 is meant to give a little more 'food for thought' but sorry it's a little over my head...Also I do dislike Self's reading voice, he should have learnt the text off by heart and spoke it as a soliloquy with some oomph - he sounds a bit dead.
Sorry
Although yes I agree with the concept of art galleries being our modern day churches, we prey to many different gods these days, the boy to the god of football, you the god of cake and myself the god of America's Next Top Model/Project Runway! No I jest, religion has new meaning and a vast culture - Self sheds light on a fascinating subject, which would be made even better if I the vocab was just taken down a notch, to those with a more modest digestion of the English language.
Any way, here is a fuzzy snap of something I walk past everyday, it was a brilliant bright day today but you wouldn't know it because this was situated in a little basement flat walkway - planted water fountains! They have a little bit of the Garden Force "fill your wellington boots with pansies and muck" about them but only cooler!
Also, did you read Shazia Mirza's column this weekend in the Guardian, reminded me of our dad!
Also current obsession....
unfortunately I'm not sure the rest if the whole album is that great after listening to it over the weekend but she has such fierce deep vocals, there's something quite Tori Amos and Kate Bush about her and I like the cut of her jib!

Do you think we are getting a bit lax sis ?
Been a busy week for both of us, but no excuses to not keep up the chat !!
Listened to such an interesting piece on R4 this week, Will Self with the first Lenten talk in a seris on Religion and Art. I found it fascinating, only 15 mins, and it'll be gone in a couple of days.... listen ! He talked about churches being originally a place to display wealth and demonstrate taste in all, together with being a place for contemplation. Self argues that art galleries and museums are our contemporary churches - I think he has something !
Ruddy love you sis xxxxxxxx

Burberry blues
Sis that truly is a lovely scene of warmth and festivity, it reminds me a lot of the Mystery Jet's set up, quite eclectic, messy but with a great sense that's it's home, a cherished space. I wonder how 'effortless' the scene is?Talking of scene's, these were the stealth shots I snapped for you of the Burberry set up as I jealously walked past on route to work, only a sad sad few steps away.
And you could watch the show LIVE, which I did, except not live but still, with my jaw gaping with the realisation that while I was stressing to complete a spreadsheet at 4pm yesterday, Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Claire Danes, Emma Watson
(obviously) and Mario Testino (All spotted by me starring intently at the front row) were all lapping up the aviator styles stalking down the catwalk...really puts life into perspective!
So watch and enjoy, its quite long but still I quite fancy Christoper Bailey so its...nice. xxxx

Drool
Hi Sis,I love how we are so into completely different things at the moment ! I am dribbling over lovely interiors at the moment. I noticed that there is a new Lonny Magazine (soooo many images have hit my scrap book this weekend) and just found this picture via design is mine by a photgrapher called Johnny Miller. I love the sparseness of his images but the interiors themselves and the general styling is just lovely. I want to live in the pictures !
Mmmm sometimes all I want to do is make things look nice....(heard that before !)
Lots of love sister xxxx

LOVE
Also sis, i'm thinking on the blazer - will do a proper search this week! I would like a denim dress, any ideas?I have a new model crush - Lindsey Wixson. I saw her in LOVE magazine's new ad, it's so damn smoking, Katie Grand is the dream isn't she, I heart Grand!
But Wixson, look at those lips! She is like a real life Barbie doll with an over-inflated pout, I flipping love it and as you can imagine with lipstick - breathtaking, just fabulous!
Not as fabulous as you though
