Enter the Void

I'm very late in blogging about this film. I went to the GFT to see this before XMAS. It's the most awe inspiring piece of cinema I have seen in years. I urge you to see it.

ENTER THE VOID, the psychedelic melodrama by visionary French maverick Gaspar Noé (IRREVERSIBLE, I STAND ALONE), is a cinematic thrill ride that's riveted audiences at the Cannes, Toronto, Sundance and SXSW film festivals. Nathaniel Brown and Paz de la Huerta star in a visceral journey set against the thumping, neon club scene of Tokyo, which hurls the viewer into an astonishing trip through life, death, and the universally wonderful and horrible moments between. An immersive and just plain mind-bending experience.

DO NOT WATCH THIS ON A SMALL SCREEN!

KUBIK Pop Up Club

As someone who works for a nightclub, I know how much work goes into lighting and sound production. I've been to clubs all over Europe and was obviously blown away by Berlin and Barcelona's super clubs. I've been doing a bit of research into club interiors and found the pop-up club KUBIK.

Kubik is a series of dance installations in Berlin and Barcelona. These temporary club venues were outdoor installations created by lighting up reclaimed industrial tanks. They are environmentally friendly and temporary. Unfortunately they have been dismantled but I hope to experience it for myself one day.

Here's a vid of the Kubik club being rigged for a one-off fashion event at Milan fashion week.




Another vid taken from inside the club. I suggest turning the volume down on this one!

Topshop really?

Who doesn't love Topshop? Come on, don't deny it! I frequent the store at least once a week, usually browsing, but often panic buying on a Saturday afternoon. 

I admire how the shop actually reflects catwalk trends in a wearable way without looking too cheap. That was until I saw the concession section on the ground floor of Argyle Street! What the actual fuck? As I glide down the escalators, excited by the prospect of new leather bags and shoes I am confronted by a rack of hideous garments that look not unlike pieces I've seen in the windows of Quiz clothing. Who is responsible for buying at the Topshop headquarters? They need a slap.

I'm sorry but these are the worst dresses in the world and at £60 who in their right mind would even consider trying them on??? Topshop please get rid of these cheap and nasty labels, who are you trying to attract with these items? 

Philip Green.. someone is taking the piss mate.

Gimme some skin

I have major leather jacket envy. I see girls and boys strutting about in amazing jackets and I'm yet to find one that I truly love. I've never been a fan of the shearling craze that has been everywhere this winter so I'm looking forward to that fucking off soon.

I refuse to buy 2nd best so my quest is ongoing till I can afford something that looks like this.

I've always been a fan girl of the Nike Blazer. Here's some that have caught my eye lately.

On the look out for some bling bling.

I'm sick of wearing tat that turns green after a few months. It's time to invest.

Particularly loving the rings on http://www.themaniamania.com/home.php
