An artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs







Graduate Fashion Week


This morning I had the pleasure of watching De Montfort's Graduate show, and I was feeling the inspiration from the minute I visited their lego-themed stand.

Complete with lego tables and little lego men - Retro central!

*Unfortunately I forgot my camera (Due to very professional reasons of course, certainly not due to staying out all night and not making it back home to pick it up) So all photos courtesy of my catwalk buddy and fellow blogger Martina. - http://down-and-out-marto.blogspot.com/

Luckily for us she managed to blag her way backstage to get some extra special shots too so take a peek...










My friends getting ready to watch the show - second row? Not bad, not bad!

If you press me to say why I love her, I can say no more than because she is she, and I am I


Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation.

So a short while ago the lovely people at Diva Magazine decided to do a little feature on me and my work (February Issue).
And I was doing a little reminscing flicking through when I was reminded of the amazing fashion shoot directed by Raven Smith and I immediately ran to the scanner in order to share!

Thick Rimmed Glasses and asymmetrical hair...

So I have a mention on a blog!
Hypster Dykes is fast becoming one of my favourite blogs.
A haven of androgynous skinny girls with shaved hair and vests. Lots of vests. And glasses. What's not to love?

The lovely lady creator of Hipster dykes mentioned my site on her (rather well reknowned now) blog!
Under the post title "Other Blogs which gave me a wetty this week" (If that title doesn't tempt you to take a peek I don't know what will).
I'm practically famous!!! (Well... nearly!)

It's a funny mix of random ponderings (for example "Ways to stay skinny: take speed/crack/heroin"), some beautiful photoshoots, street and party shots, and a lot of pictures of Katherine Moenning. Oh and loads of tits - but shot in black and white with a musing intellectual stare so it's art, right?
If Shoreditch was a blog this would be it.
Warning: Don't read on a a) Fat day or b) A bad hair day - or you may just want to trip on your braces off a very fashionable bridge. (But if you do don't forget to get an arty poloroid of it.)

So throw on your skinny jeans and distressed statement tee, light up a cigarette and take a look at a few of my favourites photos - I'm just off to shave one side of my head...
Oh God I'd kick my dog for that hair.

Eighty Percent of Success is Showing Up

In collaboration with Fashionaires I had a catwalk show at London's Embassy Nightclub a few weeks ago. Presented by Karen Millen and sponsored by OK! Magazine.
I've just gotten back some backstage photos courtesy of make-up artist Rashida Blair.
Here are a few of the backstage shots!


I wasn't meant for this world

It is only Great Men who are Truly Obscene.
If they had not dared to be obscene, they could have never dared to be great.



"Love me or Hate me, you choose?"

The tagline for JOEY M, or 'Joeyeema' for all us bloggers out there.

Aiden from Ziad Ghanem told me about this crazy little blogster, and he has captivated me (A bit like a really fucking dirty carcrash but I'm absolutely addicted none the less).

It is essentially another 'outfit a day' photo blog, but with a difference. You really have to take a look to see what I mean (If only for his rant at a well know fashion designer blog post titled "KATIE EARY IS A CUNT!" including little beauties such as 'Katie Eary is truly a cunt. The End'.


However that was just a little highlight for me, don't let it distract you from the incredible clothing that is on display here. An abundance of Ziad Ghanem's most wonderful pieces, Westwood and Comme mixed with new age designers Raf Simmons, Bernhard Wilhelm, Rick Owens, Rene Gurskov, Philip Lim, with some sexy vintage pieces, random accessories picked up from Japan and a whole lot of America apparel for good measure.
I'm not even going to question how he has so much money, the boy's done that good.

Verdict: Love.
