No offence to the Beach....

Image
Most of you know that I like to write about my holidays... and a fair few of you have reaped the rewards in the form of personal postcards-So my trip to   Portugal was no different.   Portugal was boring.  I was sold beaches to rival Croatia and the most stunning scenery- But we were basically in the part of Portugal purposely built for the totally tantastic- Endless vacuumed packed resorts and holiday homes with less charm than my most unimpressed face.  We’d hired a car but being driving licence free, I had to rely on the instinct of my friend...Who only wanted to go to the beach.   Every day. He was like some kind of relentless beach Natzi.  I’ve never been stared at so much on a holiday in my life. Apart from in India but that was different. I was wearing a headpiece on the beach, and giant army boots...and sometimes a shawl over my face for protection, but other days even when I was being totally normal, the stares were completely over the top and overly unjustified

Plug Me In, Turn Me On

I've been banned from Facebook again.  Whoops. My mum says I need to stop. It’s like, my 5 th   time now. They keep telling me that if I do anything wrong again that’s it. Wiped off the face of the face…book. I’m a repeat offender you see. Keep publishing indecent material apparently. God knows what I was dreaming about but I woke up and the first thing I did was this. It's a collage not a metaphor. Currently living in an ex mental day care centre and I found a curious collection of informational photographs, crying out for a collage or two.  These pictures of plugs were my favourite. Plug Me In, Turn Me On BANNED After creating another masterpiece, the first person I had to tell was Facebook. It turns out that Facebook can’t handle a few pieces of paper stuck together, crafted simply with an eye for detail and glue. Facebook can handle the hideous sites devoted to woman’s breasts and arses and all manor of other shameful public shows and grotesque acts of the mor

This Is What I Have To Say About That

Greetings. This is my new creation.  It was the hottest day of the year 2 times in a row and against extreme weather conditions, I created a masterpiece headpiece by my alter ego and fashion brain child  Mind like Magpie www.mindlikemagpie.com Mystery revealed. (Fox sold separately)  I was feeling sick with myself for being in a creative void of  empty nothingness.  So for the first time since my departure from the deep dark and damp depths of The Vaults I MADE SOMETHING.  It hurts inside when you have so much to give and get out - For some reason it gets stuck-  And so do you.  So I forced my hand, pulled my finger out and  touched the sides.  IT WAS SO HOT.  SO SO HOT My fingers were sweating so hard I actually had holes in the ends of them.  This is what pulling your finger out looks like. Dear me I love this hat.  Great Green Greatness. Quite an unusual little number.  Bunny ears creating the aura of spring.  My new workshop for &

"Its the first time as a journalist, that I have seen anything like this..." Never could I have comprehended or thought this existed in my mind' Genuine quote from a genuine journalist of London Live. Thanks to  TIME OUT  ,  Le Cool  and  Just Opened London ,  The Museum House Of Death P.V had a simply ridiculous turn out. About a million people showed up and they were queuing from 6.30 to gone 8.30 to get in.  Not very private Private View  It was so busy at 7 they held the door and thrust me onto the stage for the first performance excerpt of SING FOR YOUR LIFE! A musical parody featuring the recently deceased. A cross between X Factor and Pet Rescue... Not one but three performance had to be delivered, helped of course by the extraterrestrialy talented Mr Wacko Jacko:Holistic entertainer extraordinaire ....and a piano man who had arrived just three hours before. The performance itself was a magical blur as 3 talented   mammals took to the
