blink...oh and you missed it

straight from new york magazine, "thirty-five short-lived looks from an attention-deficient decade"

i think my favourite name for a trend has to be the "whale tail". so apt.

run run run gingerbread man

do you remember those adventure books you read when you were younger - the ones where at the end of the page it would say, "if you want to go through the door, go to page 14. if you want to go up the stairs, go to page 18" ?
well...here's the updated version: can you catch the gingerbread man?

obsession + (chocolate * web 2.0)

...that would be this blog right here:

the london twirls project

OK, I could just about accept Borders selling Twirls, but B&Q? Really? But, yes - in a vending machine near the tills, they sell all sorts of chocolates and sweets in what I guess is intended as a way of silencing bored youngsters as they are dragged around, while their parents pick out the particular type of solid wood flooring boards they want for the front room. B&Q is amazing though, it's the perfect shop if you're a serial killer - they sell everything. In fact, I'm amazed any parent would need to resort to bribing their child with chocolate in B&Q - they sell AXES. If that's not enough to make a kid shut the f*%k up, I don't know what is.
