My Autumn’s Done Come

September 19, 2011 by Le Fist

Well, its like tumbleweeds a’ rolling round these parts. Talk about ghost-writing! Yes its been a while for sure. A lot has happened in the last few months since I last clickety-clacked my trusty keyboard. Most of it good. Pretty much all of it good. Moving home, new projects and lots of amazing personal developments. But that hasn’t been the only reason I stopped blogging. To be honest, it had become boring. There’s an information overload out there and it […]

Postcards From Paris 2

October 16, 2010 by Le Fist

1. Le Tango, Rue Maire 75003 Edith Piaf used to sing there. Now a Tea Dance/ Cabaret/ Trash Pop Night is held there every Saturday. Out with the guys last weekend. Lots of odd couples going for it like their lives depended on it. Good to see. They shoot horses, don’t they? “G” could hardly contain himself when the Mariah Carey-esque tranny came out, nose shaded in like Beyonce to slim it down, help it stand out. Great fun! 2. Jeu […]

Diary of a Wedding Dress

October 12, 2010 by Le Fist

Soft_ A few posts back I mentioned that I had been to Cyprus. About 15 years ago I promised a friend that I would design her wedding dress. Earlier this year I got The Call. 1. Pen to Paper It was an open brief. I had total freedom. The thing with wedding dresses, especially if you know the bride quite well, an image immediately forms in your mind. You intuitively know what sort of dress she’ll want. 6th sense, maybe. […]

POSTCARDS FROM PARIS

October 8, 2010 by Le Fist

1. Mickeyland Exhibition. Organised by the A4 Collectif. Raucous mix of the clever, sublime and downright nonsensical. Kitschy fun and very timely. Quite naughty in parts. Witness Corine Borgnet’s Mickey dildo meets Pinocchio. Unfortunately the expo closed last week. 2. Andre Kertész Retrospective. One to definitely see next week. Loves a bit of photographic distortion, me does. 3. Frolic and Frappe “B” getting up to no good in the Powder Room, chez Little Italy on rue Rambuteau. Head waitress Samantha […]

CIRCUS BOOKAZINE

September 28, 2010 by Le Fist

♯1. When I started this blog last year it was out of boredom. I was bored. I was also bored with the slew of “fashion” blogs out there that tried to mimic blogs like The Sartorialist. I’ve always liked writing but hadn’t done much of it over the last decade since I started working as a designer. If I were to write a blog what would it be about? I asked myself. I tend to stay away from the fashion […]

Travellin’ Fist… At it, again

September 23, 2010 by Le Fist

Time flies, doesn’t it? Been a busy bee this end, even though the photo above might suggest otherwise. Yes the words beach, pool and scorching heat ring true but so do chiffon, button-sewing, panic and nervous sweat. Will explain later. Been busy alright. I’ll leave you with this image taken at Larnaca Airport in Southern Cyprus – I never knew they did airports as well… This one’s for “B”

Travellin’ Fist

June 15, 2010 by Le Fist

Just touched down in Paris. Well, rolled in actually. Managed to use up those free Eurostar tickets I got after the Christmas Channel Tunnel Fiasco. Like a true Brit abroad I’m now ensconced in a Brit-owned bistro with free WiFi, drinking German Bier. In Paris. Ah, well, as they say, when in Rome…

Notes from a blogger

April 4, 2010 by Le Fist

Ok, I’ve been doing this for nearly 8 months now. 8 months! I started this blog on a whim – bored one rainy day in August. I have a very short attention span and I guess it was sort of a challenge to see if I could keep it up for more than a month. I’m talking about blogging here. I am also prone to being puerile from time to time! I didn’t realise how much hard work blogging is. […]

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!

Le Fist has been a trifle busy as of late. No, I haven’t been busy doing that… but Mes Wrists have been working hard, let’s just say. Got a few posts in the pipeline, so to speak. Wink wink. This doesn’t make sense at all, does it? LFN TTFN
