Running vs Tweed

Bon-journo, as Del Boy would say! Yesterday was a game of two halves and no mistake. It began at 6am with a rude awakening, a bowl of lukewarm pre-prepared porridge and some mild stressing, all becau...

Poncho chic

Last week, I had the distinct honour of being invited to Future Cinemas much-hyped presentation of Bugsy Malone. The invite came through the fantabulous Bangs and a Bun (thanks Bangalang!) and she go...

Hair today, gone tomorrow

Sorry for that rubbish pun title. But Ive had the chop! It was inspired by the mini shoot I did last week, for which I fashioned a faux bang for the first time in ages. My hair had reached that stage...
