Bicycle Rider

By Kate | Published: 30/06/2011

(Photo: A Linus Bike) This morning I’m going for a bike ride. To the post office. To post a postcard with Prince William, Kate Middleton and a Union Jack on it to my friend in Germany. I’ll be dragging my pride and joy, with its squeaky front wheel, broken bell (ssssh, I don’t think that’s [...]

Magnums & Swimming

By Kate | Published: 20/05/2011

We’re just days away from June, just days, and the second J-beginning month of the year means one thing to me: it’s officially summer. To jump straight into summer without pausing to see if the sun will shine, let’s think about swimwear. This summer I will be tanning my mozzerella skin in the tropics of [...]

Are you a ghost story fan? Do you like to be scared half to death by Gothic plots, white shadows and uncanny mists? I do not like ghost stories at all, I scare far too easily, and in fact the other night I was convinced that there was a ghost knocking on the my third [...]

Well, this group are back on the horizon, and this time they’re on the lookout for raw, unadulterated talent. According to their website, Das Monk are hunting for the next visual genius to [...]

Imaginary French Intellectual

By Kate | Published: 24/02/2011

Can you believe that it’s approaching mid-year already? Maybe ‘mid-year’ is taking it a bit too far, but still, it’s almost March – and I’m still using each Monday morning to re-start my New Year resolutions.

Imaginary New Year’s Eve for Homme

By Kate | Published: 29/12/2010

Someone I refer (worringly) a lot to over the festive period once sang these words. All together now: When I was young my father said “Son I have something to say” And what he told me I’ll never forget Until my dyin’ day. He said “Son you are a bachelor boy And that’s the way [...]

Let’s Just Spray it on

By Kate | Published: 27/10/2010

We’re all familiar with the daily routine of spraying. From deodorant to hairspray, perfume (or is that more of a squirt?) to the handy febreze febreze. If your name is Banksy then there’ s a whole lot more spraying going on in daily life. I have to admit, having a sweeping spray is something satisfying, [...]
