Went to the launch of issue two a couple of weeks back. The biannual publication focusses on the interaction between fashion and art, something of particular interest to me. The mag is eloquently written, delicately laid out, visually rich and printed on good quality paper. In an industry forecasting the demise of print publication there’s still a lot of us out there who relish turning the leaves of a beautiful mag. As one of them I’ve nothing but good things to say about USED.
Available from a focussed selection of stockists including Artwords, Broadway Market and Rivington Street, Magma in Soho and WH Smith in Harrods and Selfridges – you can find the full list here.
A few highlights from the issue…..

Every so often a new club night pops up that you get excited about. Well tonight sees one of them. It’s a while since we’ve been to a Mark Moore party but you’re always guaranteed a good night. I was invited by the charming Henry Wickettt Padgham last weekend – he’s got a cool tattoo, nice shirts(well he had one on last Saturday so I’m assuming there’s more) and a tiny hooped earring like Bros. You’re always gonna trust someone like that when they say something’s going to be good. Vogue Fabrics is also across the road from my house so it’s as easy as popping out to get a pint of milk.
Also DJ’ing is Princess Julia(no relation to mademoiseel Yulia who I just wrote about), original Blitz kid and Music Editor of ID Magazine. I’ve been told it’s a funk night and I protested that I hate funk which everyone knows, however I do like Curtis Mayfield which I’m aware is a total contradition. I also see that there will be Chicago House which I love – I think I had an argument with Henry about the roots of Chicago House being in funk(I refused to believe it).
Anyhow, our good friend Christopher James, Weknowwhatyoudidlastnight will be taking pictures alongside Disorder Magazine who’ve featured our designs before. One big happy family. See you on the dancefloor. MWAH x

Well it kinda feels like that anyway, I’ve been number-crunching all week and those little chewy fkrs are well stuck in my teeth. I have nonetheless managed to take some time out for thoughts on Halloween.
I’m one of those people who cringes at the thought of themed parties, I don’t do dress-up but according to my friends that’s becuase every day is dress-up. Despite the fact that I don’t do dress-up I’ve now become a bit obsessed – I was dreaming about crushed velvet quilted bomber jackets with gold crests on the back last night(not really sure if it fits halloween or is an AW11 idea). Myself and my housemate Ashley were researching ideas for a party we’re hitting Sunday along with the rest of our raggedy band of troubadours. It’s in our local pub The London Fields(right beside our studio) and the entire place is being turned into a haunted house - the staff even have a prosthetics make-up artist coming so I guess that’s now upped the ante a bit and I might have to do dress up. The theme is Victorian Zombies but we’d like to play around with that a little bit – some of the ideas include glitter ball disco zombie or pregnant hillbilly zombie or myself and Kath could be Evil Twins since that’s what we seem to have become anyway.
Lots of inspiration from East London’s party scene(some of these are just taken on a standard Saturday night!) on weknowwhatyoudidlastnight.com Thankyou to the charming Christopher James for letting me swipe some pics.
I wore pretty much the same as the above last halloween except I had a roe deer animal skull embellished with black Swarovski crystals strapped to my shoulder – I kept it low key but night quite as low key as Shabnam below. Apparently club births are the new home births – I hope she had an epidural.

So I have been in LA a few weeks now and have successfully eaten everything in sight and have gained more freckles then you can shake a stick at. One spectacular adventure included kesh and suzies day out to Gay Pride…Il let the pictures speak for themselves.
Another random observation of Yank life is the ridiculous signs that seem to pop up everywhere I go, see below………
Lady Love......Pure Class
Nice Combination
Direct at least....
I cant figure out which one I like best.....
So yes……random signs……..
Now to ilustrate Gay Pride…..which resulted in me getting stupidly drunk by 4pm and suffering the mother of all hangovers at 9pm…..
Gay Pride indeed
And just to conclude this post…..heres one for you Marion……..
Heres one for you Marion
Until the next post…………..

Greetings.
So for the next few months I hope to bring you a slice of the LA pie (its juicy and fattening) and share with you the crazy and stupid adventures of me and my bestest sister Kesh.
So I arrived after an horrific flight, no sleep for like 48 hours and hungover to hell, but I made it. In true LA style we went straight to eat chicken wings and watch the Lakers game (??) , I stroll in with my goth black maxi dress draped in gold jewellery and clearly did not fit in, the chicken wings were damn good though.
I then arrive at our wonderful magical shack, I love it, its bulit for leprachauns and trolls to live in, but me and kesh are making it work….
Our Magical Shack
For those of you who know Kesh’s blog (http://therealkesh.blogspot.com) you will be familiar with Kitty, for those of you not familiar..here she is:
KITTTYYYYYYY
Kitty is here to protect us from savage mongooses that attack us in the night……….
So I have been here 2 days in total, and have been wasted for yep…..2 days in total. The first night we sashayed over to Moustache Mondays, youve gotta show some tranny love. Those of you unfamiliar with the wonderfullness of Moustache Mondays: this will sum it up……..
WERK
The last few days we seemed to have covered alot of ground: CobraSnake store opening in Hollywood, Art Gallery Openings and the amazing Freak City, all of which have had a free bar.
Tomorrow we are of to the Fabric District to haggle with some cool mexicans……
Anyway thats enough rambling so I shall leave you with some pretty pictures…..
Peace
Suzie (suzzaaaaayyyyyy if you are Marion) xx
Too much technology in one shot....

If you haven’t read it, you’ve probably all seen a tattered copy gracing the dusty shelves at your local library as a kid. And if you’ve never laid eyes on Maurice Sendak’s popular children’s book Where the Wild Things Are (and that’s weird, mind you), then there’s no doubt that by now you’re more than familiar with it this year because of all the movie’s surrounding hype.

I went shopping on 3rd street in Santa Monica this morning…or actually I went returning in Santa Monica this morning. $1000 worth of clothes back to the shelves and hangers where they some days ago caught my eyes and gave me a few moments worth of shopping bliss. Hasta la vista, babies. Nice having known you.
As I am skipping back to my Mountain bike $1000 richer (Obviously by returning clothes for $1000 I can a few days later shop for, say, $500 without the guilt trip as I just made $1000 a few days back! Wohoo!) I pass this girl performing. At first I didn’t even hear the music but the girl herself caught my eyes. Barefoot, in a vintage flower print dress on a mini piano. Her flyers and CD’s were stacked in a beautiful leather hat box and a vintage leather bag. Her music made me smile even wider than I did from the $1000 I just made and I thought it was nice to hear something that did not sound like a newer version of Britney Spears or looked like a cloned Jessica Simpson.
Her name is Eliza Rickman, and I have not heard of her before but am pretty sure we will hear (of) her again. Check her out on www.elizarickman.com she might make you smile too, if not try the return trick.

War, what is it good for – catwalk shows, champagne, camouflage wristbands and eye candy. Great let’s nuke them all!
Last night’s WAR Magazine party provided hot looks in dark corners. Bumped into the ubiquitous Daniel Lismore and his band of troubadours. Last week I sat in a Catholic church, on Soho square. It was nice(yep nice, boring word but churches aren’t really rock n roll) and even though I’m not religious it felt strangely peaceful, not something I can say about any aspect of my life at the moment. I looked at the statues and was inspired by the draping of porcelain fabric. I went home and re-created a jersey version for myself. I’m feeling for monastic style at the moment and Daniel hit the nail on the rust rosary-bead wrapped head. All that was missing was an altar boy swinging an incense burner.

We got these boys to pose and someone else hijacked our pap - u know who you are!
We were trying to figure out who Jack was all night – we never met him. Who is Jack? Jack is everyone that filled an industrial coutyard off Vyner street. We spoke to quite a few of the Jacks who had all collaborated to bring their first A4 issue together – they’re also launching Jack TV soon, we wait in anticipation.

It’s really nice to still have friends in fashion buying cause they earn shit loads of money and can afford to bring me to really nice places for dinner – something anyone starting their own business struggles with.

Another month, another little Monster… the ante clearly stepped up from the last night and not one cheesey Jacko outfit in sight. Never a night for the dull or sheepish, the colour limitations failed to stunt the extravagance of Dublins gorgeous gremlins. As always the crowd were fun, fancy free(actually no you were there right?) and friendly – where else in Dublin could you loose a wallet and have it handed in at the end of the night? Here’s last weekend’s fashion offerings…….
