There is something so Owl and Pussy about pumpkin boat races it makes me imagine a pea green boat, not a round orange boat made out of a large hollowed out vegetable. It is not a complicated process to make one of these bad boys – you essentially hollow out a massive fuck off pumpkin (I know harder than it sounds) and turn it into a boat. Hell yeah some even have engines.

Artist Sharon Baker has created these anatomically correct bread body parts with brilliantly messed up results, from a series called ‘Bread Casts’…
Then there was also “Eat Me” for the Thames Festival in 2006 – an art performance with bread
A performance for which I have cast my body in bread and invite the audience to eat it with me. The body is cut, or sometimes bitten off and shared amongst the audience. Eating it initiates a natural cycle – their bodies transform mine and symbolically reunite me with the environment. The Thames Festival audience responded with unbounded enthusiasm making it a combination of a 60’s happening, a public execution and a feeding frenzy.

The new SS11 collection from Piers Atkinson (who ROCKS my World), La Belle Au Bois, is just amazing – it’s like the best bits of summer rolled into one amazing millinery collection. I wager it will be impossible to wear any of this collection and not be springing about with the joys of the summer like Tigger.

Apologies for mentioning Christmas before Halloween but sod it…
Remember how amazing Pete Fowler’s Hot Chip window looked in Selfridges… well clearly everyone else agreed too as he has been asked to do a series of windows for CHRISTMAS which will be seen from the 28th October in the store’s Duke Street windows.
These illustrations will give you a guide to what they will look like, & I can ensure you once the secret touches have been added these will totally blow your minds. I CAN’T WAIT!!!!

Flaming Lips singer Wayne Coyne has made a poster using his own blood. The singer-songwriter used blood that was extracted from his body with a needle as ink for the poster. “We thought it would be silly to use some chicken blood or something like that” Coyne said… I THINK I AM IN LOVE!

As you already know I adore the work of Piers Atkinson (this link takes to my previous post on his Sex on the Brain collection), and am bursting with excitement that I can wear one of his creations for the EYHO & PP shenanigans next week. This frankly awesome news got me hunting through his website (for the millionth time) where I was reminded just why his work captured my imagination from the very first time I saw it. Items from The Frog & The Princess (AW09) collection shown below really summarise why he nails it for me as my favourite milliner – playful, funny and some even slightly ridiculous all of them are very wearable and destined to make anyone feel rather naughty indeed. I can’t wait!
