Positive Affirmations – Chicks on speed

Another day another little surprise

Our lovely friend, mentor and fellow Crabbies drinker Ornamental Confier was clearing out his book closet and dropped round to our studio with a surprise for the BITCHY girls – Chicks on Speed – It’s a Project. Every page of the book is sliced up and mishapen as is the cover – it didn’t fit on his shelves so he felt it time to pass on and knew it would resonate with the creative trip we’re on.

This is my new favorite book – my last one was Hell Bound – New Gothic Art. It fits with my messy aesthetic and ADHD approach to things I want to make and do. Every page is filled with images, scrawlings, thoughts, attitudes and the general unbridled ramblings of a mind with creative diarrhoea(right admission time, for some reason nobody in the studio today is able to nail how this word is spelt(we all have days like that right and I’ve had a total brain meltdown and the internet is giving us lots of different answers too – I’m disgusted at myself, sorry Trinity and parents I’ve let you down, that Arts degree didn’t teach me how to spell however if I need to I can say it in Italian and French)

Feel the fear and do it anyway?? - screw self help books, read this

Chicks on speed are a band, a clothing label, a website, a record label and a way of life to aspire to. They all met at Art School in Munich and moved to Berlin to form the band. This book perfectly captures their JFDI(just fkn do it) attitude and is an inspiration to think outside the box and let your mind run free.

I think I want to start doing books on Bitching and Junkfood because there are so many amazing books you just need to have in your life but never find them on Amazon so I’m going to make enquiries – we’ll see how that one goes. Maybe just books I like and rate. Not coffee table books, I hate that phrase. You shouldn’t buy books becuase they make your living room look nice – what if you spill coffee on them? I’m always knocking things over. I’m going to call them hyperventilate books becuase thats what you do when you read them and this book is one of them. There are many more in my mind and on my shelves – there are none on my coffee table. We don’t have one.  I’ve just put down my brown paper bag and my breathing has returned to normal.
