Evidence that Light Yagami and Ryuk Exist?!

Three British men were killed tonight in Holland after crashing their getaway vehicle on the motorway. The three fled police after robbing an ATM Machine before meeting their sticky end... Is this the work of Light Yagami and Ryuk?

'Death Note' (2006) is a Japanese film based on the series about Light Yagami, a young man who resents the crime and corruption in the world. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground. The Death Note's instructions claim that if a person's name is written within it while picturing that person's face, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, he realizes that the Death Note is real.

After meeting with the previous owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become "the God of the New World" by passing his judgement on those he deems to be evil or who get in his way.

Something I really want to go and take a peep at in a weekend or two is the Red Light District installation at the National Gallery. 

Hoerengracht (Dutch for Whore's Canal) shines some historical perspective on the NG's 17th century Dutch paintings of scenes depicting love for money juxtaposed with a mid 1980s European Red Light District.  Alongside 'Whore's Canal', a select few from the Dutch permanent collection, including Schalcken's 'A Man Offering Gold and Coins to a Girl' and de Hoochs's 'Musical Party in a Courtyard' will be displayed.

The dimly lit scantily clad mannequins are installed at grimy windows of claustrophobic streets where viewers are forced to walk and peep like a typical client, whilst other mannequins are poised in provocative poses inviting men to come inside. The artists Ed and Nancy Keinholz are hell-bent on recreating the RLD; with seedy music playing in the background, dustbins strewn about, neon signs glaring and client's bicycles neglected in the streets - as they say: in for a penny in for a 'pound'.

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.

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...
