Outfit Post
Something's been going wrong with blogspot lately - it will let me repost images from a URL, but not stuff I've uploaded from my own laptop. I dunno why this is, I've been using JPGs as normal. So I've had to hold fire with the updating and create a good old photobucket account so I can post stuff from there. LAME. I was going to do this outfit post on Thursday but you're getting it now instead. I thought it was quite an average outfit but I got quite a few compliments on it that day so whatdya know...
Jumper from a £3 shop in Manchester's Northern Quarter. Skirt from H&M. Boots inherited from mama Nova. Bag from Buzzcocks gig in Glasgow. I know my room needs a serious tidy - this was the least messy part so I used it as a background. The rest looks as though a kids birthday party has exploded all over it.

So the dancing and music is incredibly annoying (I think) but the sunglasses, stripper shoes, stripes, and furry snake stoles are sssssssssssublime.
Because the Lady Loves... Pam Hogg
Just a few pix to show off the wild and wonderful personal style of Ms Hogg.....
Matchy-matchy with Dame Viv.
In black at Alexander McQueen's Memorial.
At the NME Awards with Bobby Gillespie.
In a gorgeous powder blue coat at the Whitechapel Gallery.
In one of the most fabulous fur coats... one of her own, I think (?)
I'm sure I've posted this picture before, but it's a favourite.

I'm about to embark on making the all important headpiece for my Izzy Blow costume and am in need of some inspiration from her favourite milliner.....

I NEEED a beige/camel coat like this for the Autumn.
A floor-length one would probably swamp anybody who wasn't six foot tall,
so I'd happily settle for a calf-length trench with a nipped in waist.
AMAZING hair.
Hellooo Daphne. This makes me want to get my blonde streak back!
I'm stocking up on silk headscarves and turbans for A/W! x
Les Garcons de Glasgow Offline
On Thursday night, style bloggers Les Garcons de Glasgow hosted another club event, this time at Stereo on Renfield Lane. With a friendly atmosphere, lil ol' me projected onto the walls, and great music provided by Kid Zipper (Menergy), Thunder Disco Club, and Matthew Craig from One More Tune/Cheap n Nasty, a ball was had by all.

I love Princess Julia
from The Gentlewoman
Writer and DJ Princess Julia has been a colourful and chameleon-like fixture on the London club scene since Steve Strange installed her in the cloakroom at The Blitz and she became one of the original Blitz Kids, brightening up the city's nightlife with their outlandish costumes and make-up. By night she partied with Marc Almond and Boy George, while by day she worked in PX, a cult New Romantic boutique in Covent Garden.
Her appearance in the video for Visage's single Fade to Grey was followed by a stint of modelling for designers such as BodyMap, working in the UK and Japan.Julia then launched her career as a DJ, playing monthly spots at Kinky Gerlinky and going on to guest at events all over the UK. She now DJs at the London clubnight Divine Incest and fronts the band Oral Oral.
Alongside Hanna Hanra she put together The P.i.X zine and is currently the music editor for long-running fashion/arts mag i-D.
Visage- Fade to Grey
ISSA
Time for another wordy post. I always get in the habit of updating with some pretty pictures when I can't think of anything to say, but I'll try and summon up some musings today.
Issa isn't a label I know very much about (but things gonna change) but when I was indulging in my main hobby of 'browsing internet for nice pix' I came across their A/W 2010 catwalk collection and boy is it ME all over..... Feast your eyes:
Red lips? Check. Oversized shades? Check. Shiny shiny leather? Check. The classic movie star-style headscarf scaffolded by the towering quiff is so perfect I could maybe squeeze out a small salty tear. At the moment I may be suffering a fringe but in the past I've always been a s.t.a.u.n.c.h devotee of the quiff/shades/lippie combination.
The 'Q/S/L' when combined with the black headscarf reminds me so much of fashion designer/writer/filmmaker/muse Diane Pernet. Her white skin and kabuki-style black mane set off by a veil and impenetrable shades hae become her trademark and made her an instant favourite of mine.
So, even though the end of Summer fills me with dread (even more so this year - this will be my last EVER 'school holiday' as I'm going into my last year at university. Next summer will be filled with the fear and loathing of having to get a job and enter the real world), the appearance of the A/W clothes in the shops never ceases to excite me. I'll be stocking up on headscarves, cape-like jackets, leather opera gloves and layering different textures of black in true goth fashion. I can't wait - and because I live in Scotland I probably WON'T have to wait very long.......
Til the next time I'm feeling verbally inclined! x
