Pickin up stuff for his Detox

I had the pleasure of meeting Tictac last year at an Urban Nerds night. He had an oversize Perspex Marijuana leaf necklace which was a nice ice breaker – no ice on this boy though.

For some reason I always imagine super stylish people are going to be complete self absorbed twats. I have unfortunately met a few that fit the bill but I’m happy to say that Tic Tac is not one of them. He’s gobby for sure and, as I struggle to keep mine shut, I like that. He puts this down to the fact that he stands at 5′3″ so what he lacks in height he makes up for in lyrics. I’m 5′10″ so I have no excuse – might play the paddy card on that one though.

This electro grime boy’s got talent as well as style and has worked with super hot producers like The Real Heat, Frankmusik and Goldielocks.

Last time I bumped into Tic Tac was at Calling All Tribes in the MacBeth. This boy’s got the best tattoos I’ve ever seen – Keith Haring on his wrists and the back of his neck. They’re so good, they made me ill – one of those why didn’t I think of that first moments. I’ve been trying to come up with something equally cool ever since but nothing comes close however I’m feeling scrawly and demented after the Chicks on Speed post so that’s a start. No anchors for me thankyou.

Appropriately for a Monday, the above is a picture of Tic Tac down the health-food aisle picking up stuff for his detox. Top by Kokon Tozai(  a BITCHY favorite), big gold chain, random bangle. Trolley by Sainsburys. Dead nice.
