Passport Pose

This weekend I treated the photobooth to my company. I was required to send a passport picture off with my police check for my summer expedition.

For anyone unaware, I am off to Massechussetts (apologies if i have incorrectly spelt that, must learn) to capture the summer goings on of a childrens summer camp.

I'm completely on over the moon about the whole prospect of meeting new people and learning a whole new culture.

My police check pic..smiiile!

I LOVE a useless fact!

Just a few that make me ponder!!

ENJOY!!

1. The average lead pencil will draw a line 35 miles long or write approximately 50,000 English words
2. An estimated one billion birds die each year in the U.S. from smashing into windows
3. Rain contains vitamin B12.
4. Honeybees never sleep
5. It takes 12 bees their entire lifetime to make one tablespoon of honey
6. The largest number of children born to one woman is recorded at 69
7. “Almost” is the longest word in the English language with all the letters in alphabetical order
8. The average office desk has 400 TIMES more bacteria than a toilet.
9. In 1945, a rooster by the name of Mike lived 18 months without a head

Dance like no one's watching...

When I first stumbled across this product, 'The Octopus' came to mind, my signiure dance move! I do love to get my 'lanky arms' out and dance like a reet tit, often incorporating some kind of dance off and involving a stag!

'Dance Like No one's Watching' - I tend to do this anyway, but I figure why not tell the world and pay £40 quids for a Emerald Green Smythson notebook, Isn't she gorge..

One day I'll own some kind of Smythsons stationary!!


Various slogans available, all gold stamped.
All can be personalised.

The reworked 1959 Olympus PEN

The PEN E-P1 is a modern digital re-working of the groundbreaking original 1959 Olympus PEN camera.

The original idea was to create a camera that was as easy to use and carry as a pen. The incredibly small size, retro style, and ease of use of the new model are a nod to the PEN’s past. However, D-SLR quality and a host of new features bring it right up to date.

I'd like one the cream Olympus E-PL1.

WAHnails - Uffie listening party

A big thanks to @phreshmentality for the invite to WAHnails (420 Kingsland Road). She is a very talented nail designer who won a competition to go to the studio for Uffies listening party. (Uffie - signed to Ed Banger records and collaborates with Pharrell on one of the album tracks).

Disappointment came when I saw the fashion conscious queue to get my nails done. But the complimentary drink, the company of @phreshmentality and the fact I somehow managed to get my foot stuck in the door of the 423 pretty much made my night.

Down moment of the night, the girl brushing past me in a fox fur coat. Don't. Do. It. Again. Please. Its. RANK. Not cool. And it doesn't make you any prettier!

Check out www.wah-nails.com to see their designs.
Below is one of mine!

Over and out
