Trash Humpers

This film by Harmony Korine is out soon. Here's the trailer. I just watched it and found it completely weird yet kinda fascinating. A bit like when Cath and I got stuck in the Guggenheim watching The Cremester Cycle by Matthew Barney. We hadn't got a clue what it was about, yet we couldn't stop watching it, even though it was freaking us out a bit.
I like things that push me out of my comfort zone and make me feel slightly uncomfortable. I suspect Trash Humpers will do this.

Check it out for yourself. 'Trash Humpers' on at the ICA London on July 4th.

Preen for Vogue TV

Here's the amazing duo Thea Bragazzi and Justin Thornton, creators of Preen, talking about their latest collection on Vogue TV.
This clip features the absolutely wonderful Kim Brown, make-up artist and Beauty Editor of Glass Magazine (and my sis-in-law) and Tracey Cant who I've worked with once and was fantastic.
Put these people together and magic happens. I've been to a few of their shows and they are AMAZING.

I'm almost in tears

In 2002 I went to San Francsico and bought a fantastic pair of LEVIs bsed on an original 1970s design. I loved those jeans to DEATH. I wore them so much that the crotch almost dropped out.
They couldn't be worn (too obscene) but I couldn't part with them. They were my perfect pair of jeans and they also cost me a fortune, mind you they were worth every penny.
They sat in my wardrobe until last month, when lack of space forced me to get rid of some 'stuff'. So I chucked them, begrudgingly. I hadn't been able to wear them for about 6 years so it seemed the right thing to do.
So why am I almost in tears? Because I just found this website http://denimtherapy.com/  about 10 mins ago. Look at what they can do!! Look at them fixing the denim!!!!!! OH SHIT WHY DID I THROW THEM OUT!!!!!!!


Festival tip for ladies

Everyone bangs on about Hunter wellies, but did you know that there are also Huntress wellies? They're made for women so they have wider calves. Yes, it's true. Over and out.

Speaking of the 80s

Us ladies have come a long way. Check out these lager cans from the 80s. My dad wasn't a big drinker but he occasionally had a couple of these in the fridge and I remember, despite being 10 or something, thinking WTF?!
They all had names I think. I distincly remember a Linda. 

80s shoes

I was trawling the interweb today at work looking for some video clips to make into a mood film when I accidently came across this and it swung me right back down memory lane. If my memory serves me right I had the pair that are dancing next to the beatbox!
Oh my god, I'd love to have those now. And the black slip on ones on the football pitch with triangular stud detail, fantastic.

RockGroup

A few Ladysquadders hung around in East London on Sunday in the on/off sunshine watching the RockGroup boys do their thing underneath a Heron Tower backdrop. I filmed the whole thing so of course, there's an appearance from Mrs DSC that's sneaked in there.
Nice work boys. The zing of colour was a lovely surprise.
