J'adore Paris

Andy and I kicked it up to Paris last Wednesday via Eurostar (by the way which is dooooope-highly recommended) for 4 days.

The weather was great, got to see Jo and Nordine whilst they are living there and met so many amazing people.

Warning: The below images will most probably make you really jealous - better hit up Eurostar website now - start emailing the people you know in Paris and sell that bike you wanted to keep but now can't because you need the cash to buy almond croissants and carby baguettes. Worth it? Hell yes.

Andy and the Eiffel Tower - climbing it is such a trek (well for me, haha) but the view makes it all worthwhile.

Pignon Fixed - still not as many riders as we have in London, but getting there. And their bikes - impressive!

Louis David and his Bianchi

Nordine and his awesome S fork

Starcow - they have Larry Clark t-shirts!!

Pignon Fixed riders on Fri night ride. Get-go...

The Frejus frame I bought - it is absolutely beautiful.

Monos in Cyclope store

Cyclope workshop - pimpin. Tomas has http://www.deezer.com/ crankin all the tunes. For free! Check it.

Louis and Bobby - most enthusiastic canine ever! He reminded me of the dog off of Theres Something About Mary - but way cuter.

David Bowie

So Andy forwarded me a link to his friends blog which got me thinking that I really should update mine -my life is sometimes interesting (not). Which then got me thinking about changing the cover photo. Which then got me thinking about changing the colour-scheme. Which then got me thinking about changes in my life in general (Jesus so much has happened since April ''wonder if the boy likes me'' 2008... lame-o). Which then got me thinking about ch-ch-ch-changes, Which led to the song getting spun in my head. And then I thought of Bowie. In Basquiat. As Warhol. Amazing.




''Can I borrow some moneeey?''




Ew Big Bird. This bit makes me cringe.





Best album cover ever. Well not ever but its up there.




You remind of the babe. What babe. The babe with the power. Ooh new song in my head.

Yeah its true. The anticipation is the best bit. The anticipation of tomorrow. The anticipation of what may happen, what will happen eventually and whether the boy likes me. Very anticipated.

How can one person have so much skill? So impressed - katemoross.com (Photo by Max Gleeson)

I'm always inspired by other inspiration people. Or love hearing their stories to how they got to where they are. And especially if they are willing to tell it - minus the ego. 

Sally A. Edwards and Sarah J. Edwards are the sisters behind Blag Magazine and oh so much more. Read their shiz on colophon2009.com and whilst you're at it, check out the rad website. Its my bible.

Loving my lunchtimes kicking it down to the Truman Brewery...the cheap Cafe 1001 delights cannot keep me away. 

Although, today I satisfied my visual hunger for some amazing illustration and graphic design. 

The current Exhib 'Dunk. Be true', next door to Gloria's,  showcasing the iconic Nike Dunk is definitely one to feast your eyes on. 

Its true though - its amazing how the Dunk has managed to jump from originally a Basketball shoe, to a shoe adopted by Skaters for its flat soles and then in turn a shoe reknowned for the way it can express individualism.

The Exhib is a great celebration of not only the best shoe ever invented, but an amazing representation of the combination of London's most creative people. With amazing illustrative design to engage you.

PS. Toooootally wanna skip to the bad path in the book so I can see which one not to choose. If only life was that simple...sigh.

Definitely no regrets on the Danish

Shit I used to love reading Goosebumps books. For a kid like me, they were scary! And fun. Especially the ones where you choose what paths you take and therefore ultimately choosing your fate. I kinda think now, its totally like life. So many friggin choices. Some good, some not-so good. But can any be bad? I guess you can have regrets, (damn I should of bought fruit salad instead of that amazing danish....) some more important than others, (damn I should have listened when they told me to go to Uni after school finishes...) but then again thats life. And as we all know, we learn from our mistakes and create our own paths of life. It if we hadn't of gone down some of the rocky roads then we may not be the people who we are today. Live it, love it. 

First post...hmm the pressure. Mylo drop the pressure. Yum milo.

So I'm living in London town and loving it. So much random shit happens all the time so thought I'd blog about it to make all you fools jealous! Ok no, it's because my memory is really bad (and I even lost my memory stick..literally..goddamn) so this is so I don't forget all the cool shit I've done.

And I can't forget all the rad people I've met. -thanks Jazzmatazz for introducing me to blogspot. fools/phulls forever xo
