metallic pink joy

A metallic pink anything is a thing of joy forever

Obsess on something good

What do you want from the autumn/winter season?
What do you obsess about, long for, desire, worship, wish for, yearn for, kill for, adore, crave or fixate on........
Me, I long for a lot of things: a Lang sheepskin gilet with a big cowl neck, a Preen line dress with sleeves like jellyfish, a Margiela shaped yet shapeless big black leather bag....and the list could go on and on and on.

go see this, don't pass go, just go see it

The Concise Dictionary of Dress by Judith Clark and Adam Phillips is a brilliantly composed installation.

Consisting of 11 cleverly chosen pieces set amongst the collections stored within Blythe House, each with a definition that somehow defines yet defies the item or items.

Blythe House is the former headquarters of the post office savings bank, it is a fascinating place, that is interested me as much as the installations set within it.

A mind tingling tour takes you from the rooftops to the coal cellars. I cannot recommend it enough, it challenged me to consider the allness or nothingness of things; the here, the now, the then, the was, the maybe, the history and baggage that items possess, the meanings they might have and do those meanings change when put in a different setting. 

Go see it, your mind will be provoked.

no picture taking is allowed, so buy the book, you won't regret it

My cute dressing table mirror, the hub of everything, bought on eBay & now where (amongst other things) travel monkey sits, when he isn't traveling.
