Hello readers, I’m sorry it’s been so long since I wrote regular fashion snippets here…you’ve probably forgotten the sound of my voice by now. Over the past month I’ve been finishing off my degree and doing pesky finals so my fashion tendrils have been a bit lax, but don’t worry I’m back now.
When you’ve been [...]
Ever wished that you could have a different head? Maybe you’d like the chiseled features of Michelangelo’s David, the wide-eyed elegance of Audrey Hepburn, the winning smile of Barak Obama, Marylin Monroe’s iconic beauty spot or Elvis Presley’s upper lip? You’re not alone, there are times when I would like another head. At the moment I think [...]
The famous London Marathon has just passed us by, and with it has passed a whole world of fashion, from freakish costumes to personalised team gear; these days running events are more about sporting fashion that you might think. Some of my favourite fancy dressers from this year’s race included a dashing Rubik’s cube and [...]
They say that as you get older you experience a second childhood. You can see it happening everywhere, we’d rather munch on Party Rings than canapes, wear plimsols instead of lace up shoes and a Sunday afternoon nap is essential. But there’s something new on the scene of childhood revival, in fact it regresses beyond childhood, [...]

Hybrid animals could be looked at as a form of animal kingdom creativity. Why have two separate animals when you could mix two and create one? With artistic vision and a splash of linguistic license, real life animal cross-breeding has resulting in the fantastic sounding ‘liger’, a cross between a lion and tiger, and the ‘yakalo’, a [...]

It’s true, everybody really does know a Dave.
Coming in all shapes and sizes, they’re usually fun guys (perhaps this is because they shorten their name and all name shorteners are instantly cool). T-shirt designers from Balcony clearly know some Daves. They’ve brought out a range of t-shirts called ‘What a difference a Dave makes’, so that [...]

The brief: “to create and manipulate text in a way that it becomes the design rather than just being a part of it”. After launching a new design competition, community t-shirt designers from Threadless have united text and image, and the results are beautiful. With phrases like ‘A Piece of Cake‘, and ‘Pigeons are Rats with Wings’, [...]

On March 13th 2009 there are going to be a lot of Brits wandering about with uncommonly red, not to mention round, noses. Add to this the likelihood that these red nosers will probably be doing something ridiculous like wearing fancy dress to work, having their legs waxed in public (particularly if they’re male), and [...]

Sometimes it’s inconvenient to change your t-shirt, maybe you’re wearing mittens, maybe you’re in a public place, or maybe you simply don’t have another clean one. The trouble with having to wear something all day long is that a day is a long time. After a good three hours you can get so bored of [...]

Personally, I really like peas – they’re small, green and very versatile little things that can liven up any dish, however many people dislike the smallest, most spherical greens of the vegetable world. Peas shouldn’t be neglected though; they have hidden depths: you may think that they’re a vegetable, but technically (well botanically speaking) they’re [...]
