Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of…

December 31, 2009 by Le Fist

Some photographs I took on my first ever trip to New York. I was struck by how familiar it all seemed, like a movie set. Kind of unreal or hyper real? I’m quite into architecture and cityscapes and I was blown away by how beautiful she was_

“Glee”, Season One – Fox Channel

December 31, 2009 by Le Fist

The Sweetest Thing_ This is the best show since The Wire. I absolutely love this! Definitely warms the cockles and leaves you feeling well… quite gleeful, really. Tender, funny, clever… could go on forever! Its like the final, logical outcome of generations of celluloid Teen America. It draws the line from Grease, Fame and Hairspray through to screwball comedies like Porky’s and more recent films such as High School Musical. The songs are brilliant, acting solid, characters loveable, script ingenious. […]

Stompin’ At The Halloy

December 31, 2009 by Le Fist

Good enough to eat… One mad, bad weekend in Belgium. The Chateau Halloy, just outside of Brussels. 20 friends. A proper sit down dinner. Pride, Pastis and Prejudice. Two Napoleons. A lot of fur. A crazy-assed pair of Henry Holland tights. And one mad, bad pair of sparkle-encrusted Louboutins… Me and my Louboutins

More From The Obsessive Compulsive: The Desktop

December 30, 2009 by Le Fist

As white as the driven snow…Clean lines. White on white. Minimal, simple and oh, so chic. Just the way I like it. The lovely white folder icons can be downloaded from http://www.samuco.net/SW/. Look for Coloured Folder Creator Pro. About $5. Go on… Just click the command button + i key on the desired folder you’d like to change to open up the information panel. Drag the new folder art of choice onto the folder icon on the top left hand […]

Haven’t Got the Balls Really

December 29, 2009 by Le Fist

Some random pics of a billiard table, some balls and a few cues. Don’t play the game. Useless at anything involving balls. Well, almost! But I like the colours. Quite nice, no?

Resident Evil

The Face of Evil: Nicky Hambleton-Jones

December 29, 2009 by Le Fist

Be very afraid… Ba‘al Zebûb As mentioned, in an earlier post, I’ve been watching reruns of 10 Years Younger on Channel 4 on Demand (online streaming.) For those not familiar with the show its basically a make-over show. Our Nicky (presenter of  series 1 – 5, Myleene Klass took over series 6 with less spec-tacular results) basically stalks her prey, downtrodden women who’ve lost their mojo on the fringes of society, and transforms them, with the help of her sidekicks, […]

A Breath of Fresh Air

December 29, 2009 by Le Fist

Feeling decidedly scroogish, I headed off to Dulwich Village on Christmas day to join a very good friend of mine, her family and her Italian fiancé [stra bello, lui] for lunch. Working a killer look I was – Armani dinner shirt with grosgrain bow detail on the collar, nude silk cardi, embroidered scarf, dark denim and schoolboy shoes. Looked fierce, I must say. Lunch was a bit of a let down we all agreed. I mean, cold Christmas pudding?  Anyway, my […]

Valerie: A Festive Vignette

December 24, 2009 by Le Fist

Well Sometimes I Go Out, By Myself, And I Look Across The Water. And I Think Of All The Things, Of What You’re Doing, And in my head I Paint A Picture. The Zutons, Valerie, from ”Tired of Hanging Around”  2006 24th December, 2009. Hampstead Heath, London. A Georgian townhouse. Nondescript in a street full of Georgian townhouses, all immaculately kept. Christmas lights from Heals twinkling expensively from tall, expensive windows. Hushed. Organic turkeys pre-ordered months ago from an organic farm […]

Jingle Belles: Merry Christmas!!!

December 23, 2009 by Le Fist

‘Tis the season to be jolly, etc, etc. How best to celebrate than by paying homage to fashion’s Literary Golden Girls? The Trinity: Sarah “La Mower” Mower [style.com], Suzy “La Quiff” Menkes [The International Herald Tribune], Cathy “Whats the 501s” Horyn [The New York Times]? Gawd bless ‘em. Where would we be without their kind, soothing and sometimes reproachful but always insightful words? Eh? I wait with bated breath for a whole new year of reviews and critiques. Take it […]

Paint The Town Red: Christian Louboutin, Paris

December 21, 2009 by Le Fist

I must say,  the Christmas windows have been a tad bit disappointing in the City of Lights. Galleries Lafayette: Le Shocking!! I mean, super tacky. Worth the trawl through the scrum to make it to the food hall, though! Yumm! Anyway, I just had lunch with a darling friend of mine – my second lunch of the day; all I seem to be doing is eat, eat, eat! Anyway, she’s done the most beautiful window artwork for Monsieur Red Soles. […]

More From the Boulevard

December 21, 2009 by Le Fist

Yeap, they did it again. €9:50 for a coffee and an Earl Grey. I really need to stay away from expensive cafes… Old habits die hard.

Rage Against The X-Factor

December 18, 2009 by Le Fist

About bloody time, that’s what I say! Just downloaded Rage Against The Machine’s Killing In the Name without even listening to it first. Might be jumping on the sonic bandwagon but me does not care, sweets. The Chronicles of the Desperate Climb of a Tweeny Twerp called Joe Mcelderry. Blaaahhhh. Enough of this senseless aural torture, of having to listen to glorified departure lounge music Every. Bloody. Crimbo. As some whiney, desperate newly crowned “Star” gives their bloody tonsils a […]

Yesterday it Snowed Something Serious

December 18, 2009 by Le Fist

In gay Paris at the moment and I took this picture yesterday morning sat outside a cafe at the Palais Royale, drinking an exorbitant ["word of the day"] coffee and a ‘tartine’ – plain buttered bread, to you and me. The dirty rotten scoundrels! €6,50!!! Daylight effing Robbery!
