And then, out of nowhere, Mark Owen appeared

I was out filming Goks Fashion Fix idents the other week. We were on the street, watching the filming and then suddenly Mark Owen from Take That appeared and asked if we had a catering van and if he could get a coffee and other general chit chat.

Nice fella. Very surreal random experience.

The best door handles in the world EVER

On Thursday night, the lovely Missy invited me to a private party at Proud Caberet. We took over the loos while we applied glittery eyeshadow and tweaked our makeup. Missy really burlesqued it up in a basque, the hot chick!

Such a good night, my favourite was the Marilyn Monroe lady, she was very stunnning.  And the door handles, genius.

Let's all go here again Ladysquadders.

Brick Lane rainy day out

Highlights from a rainy day in Brick Lane with the lovely Barrie Cradshaw.
Swedish Lunch at Fika with a glass of Elderflower wine.
Bag spotting.
Vintage 80's stonewashed denim buying.
Cheeky cocktail in the Hookah Lounge.
Gossiping and giggling.
Straw beret, a right result from Beyond Retro. I tried on a black, silk tuxedo style jumpsuit but then decided not to buy it. Then I got home and there was a designer one, practically the same, in Vogue for £175. Damnit. Vintage fashion fail, I should've just bought it.

Just got back from seeing this

Four Lions, Chris Morris's new release. If you get a chance, go see it. It's funny, not as Chris Morris-controversial as I thought it might be, but it was also quite heartwarming and pointed out some great failings as well as warmth of human beings as well as being a huge comment on the 7/7 London bombings.

Happy Election Week!!

Hi Ladysquadders! This week the nation votes for the person leading us into the next 4 years. Still not sure who to vote for, but happy to see all the candidates are working hard to try to sway us!

Today Nick Clegg is campaigning in our local area. Each Friday for the past 3 weeks all the candidates have been interviewed by Jeremy Paxman in the new offices next to Vodafone HQ in Paddington where I work. Luckily both buildings have floor to ceiling windows and I have a great zoom on my phone. I got a birds eye view of David Cameron being quizzed. The best campaign I've seen this week is in the window of Coco De Mer in Covent Garden. They were campaigning for the General ERECTION! I definitely think that's one I'd vote for! ;-)

Konnichi-wa Lady Squad!!

Thanks Rach for setting this up.. Still getting the hang of this, not like my fellow seasoned bloggers.. I just need to make sure to write about my adventures and fun stuff I find!! :-)

Latest adventure: Japanese classes. First lesson yesterday and am mortified that the teacher ONLY speaks and writes in Japanese! I thought it was supposed to be a beginners class!! I guess a bank holiday weekend full of homework is on the cards!? Dammit!!!

Past month adventures.... It's a little bit late to blog about it, but went to the world premier of Clash of the Titans. Fun, boozy night. Shame about the film.... :-p

Whiskey Fumes

So last night we went down to Village Underground for the Cutty Sark Sessions night. The Hit & Run London Crew, featuring founding member Brandy Flower,  were in full force pulling limited edition Tees for the crowd. The queue for the tees was so big, I think the organisers underestimated the powers of the H&R as they had to stop the printing for a while because the line was blocking the stage where Asian Dub Foundation were playing.

Ladysqaud attendance was good last night as we smuggled in Barrie Cradshaw. LucySitDown wasn't sitting down but was having a good dance and frequent bar visits, as we all were, what with free Cutty Sark cocktails up for grabs.

Whisky fuelled conversation highlights included the plan to all be in next years Gumball Rally (a boys car 'The Sausage Squad' and a girls car 'The Ladysquad'), being photographed in Semi-nostalgic (Where did Hugo buy that camera?), the formation of Caucasian Fag Foundation and other such ramblings.

Barry Cradshaw and myself managed to keep it sensible and left at a reasonable hour. Some others preferred to stagger in at 3am with half bottles of whisky in hand. All in all a great night, lovely folks, lovely times. Just don't hold a naked flame up to the Rock Group members this morning.

A big shout out to the security guy who was lovely and let me get in the right places to get photos, and to the H&R 'iron' featured looking hot in the photos below.

Nike Music Shoe

So I reckon that I've got enough sneaks to do my own version of this. I'm just lacking the big fuck off speakers.

It's our Pete!

Here's the lovely Mr Hellicar and his partner Mr Lewis talking about their recent OneDotZero installation they did for the Roundhouse in London.
Unfortunately, this film doesn't contain any of Pete's crap joke repertoire. Which is immense and mainly works around bad puns which are so bad it's fantastic.
Click here to take a look at all their other projects. I shall now spend the rest of the afternoon pondering how I can use them in some advertising. Hmmmmmmmmm. These fellas are very very talented and clever chappies.
