anOtherDay, anOtherDollar

How she longed to get out 

of that dark hall, 

and wander about among those beds 

of bright flowers and those cool 

fountains, 

 but she could not even get her 

head 

through the doorway...

'Oh, how I wish I could shut up 
like a telescope! 
I think I  could, if I only know how to 
begin.' 
For, you see, so many out-of-the-way  
things had happened lately, 
that Alice had begun to think that very 
few  things indeed were really 
impossible. 

XXX-rated PORNDWARF does LEATHER

PORNDWARF, London’s latest circus of eclectic talent, launches with a club night hitting the capital on Saturday 21 November (10pm-4am) at Images - one of the cities oldest strip joints.  With a different dress up / dress down theme each time, it all kicks off with ‘PORNDWARF DOES LEATHER’; the chance for everyone with a lust for unpretentious fashion flamboyance and quirky music from 90’s hip-hop to deep electro to get together in one sweaty leather clad family.  Creative Director from the House of Blueeyes, Johnny Blueeyes himself will be customising leather on-site, worn by the first lucky guests through the door, between 10 – 11pm  - the way only Johnny can.  Plus the UK’s hottest new electro act in sounds and looks, the Bang Bang Club! take to the decks.  Also expect to see dance troupes Hells Cupids playing spin the bottle, Snow White and the Seven...? plus more delights to release all inhibitions.

So why not come and join us...?

CRAFTWORK - Get Your WOOLSWORTH

Something wooly and (w)holey impressive is about to adorn the walls of the Exposure gallery- Little Portland Street W1.

CRAFTWORK 'Woolworks' exhibition (from 15th September) comprises of two large-scale hanging textile artworks in neutral mutton colours. Working in natural wool and aluminum, the two pieces focus on fusing a variety of artistic disciplines to construct something altogether unique. CRAFTWORK adopts an array of techniques to create huge tactile wool installations adopting arts and crafts, fashion design and jewellery.

Wool is twisted into rope to produce natural patterns, bound together with a knotting method and held in place with powder-coated aluminium tubes. The trademark CRAFTWORK pompom punctuates the compositions to emphasise the tactile-textile patterns...

Baaarrilliant.

XXXL (I'm with the band)

After searching for the perfect leather jacket for almost five years, I believe I may have stumbled upon the mother load...

K.T.Z have only gone and Topshop-ed themselves into existence, using the power of the site to sell select pieces to those who are quick enough with the mouse and plastic. 

K.T.Z - KOKON TO ZAI designed by Marjan Pejoski (responsible for Bjork's swan ensemble) is a far cry from bird couture and now deals in relaxed unisex jackets, stripy spandex and a blend of tribal/afrocentric/60s inspired threads all thrown into the design pot for a comfortable fashwaan fix .

As am now broke I shall wait patiently for standard delivery...

He's a "dedicated follower of fashion"...

Iconic Brit label Ben Sherman is on the look out for a new Modfather /Moddess to become a brand ambassador for an entire year.

The style icon search will launch in the Carnaby Street  store (and roll out regionally) with entrants showcasing their outfits in front of the camera in hope of winning a year's worth of Ben Sherman clobber.

The 5 winners will become the official eyes and ears of Ben Sherman youth culture - encouraging blogging onsite for fans to tap in and be inspired.

Paul Weller will never be replaced, but a mini-modfather could be interesting?
