L is for... La Conspirationniste!

Just a quick one just to ask you to check out mine and my friend JC's new conspiracy blog!

www.laconspirationniste.blogspot.com


It's obviously very different to this blog- more about unearthing the crazy conspiracies in the world and trying to establish the facts and fiction using science and, inevitably, our own opinions.

It's fun and we're having the best time researching it all! If you liked my Masons post, this could be for you...!

L.

C is for... Correspondence.

I'm going to start this post with a quick Note To Self...

Nb: If you're going to get mad at the fashion industry, and consequently your own fashion blog, don't leave the blog on a sour, frustrated note, depicting dead fly eyelashes, vagina necklaces and transvestites in soiled dead rat bikinis. People who have never viewed your site before WILL deem you psychotic. Best just to step away with your dignity.

S is for... Shut up about Fashion Week!

I haven't participated in much blogging of late, for a couple of reasons:

1. My friend JC and I have joined forces to create a collaborative blog unearthing some mental conspiracies (spurred by my recent fascination for all things Masonic!), so I have been working on that for the past couple of days. It's all early stages, so will link you when we've officially launched it. Obviously, it's going to have little to nothing to do with fashion, so if you like some of my non-fashion related posts, maybe you'll prefer this blog? We're very excited to get researching, most of the material we've got already is hilarious!

F is for... Frances Bean Cobain

Have had a bit of a relapse from blogging this week. Not because I have been busy, but because I wasn't really sure what I wanted from my next post. You see, I've been doing a bit of research into photography, as I am thinking about getting a good camera for my birthday, and so, have been seeking inspiration from one of my favourite photographers, Hedi Slimane. I'm also slowly emersing myself into the world of Instagram and Pinterest, so have been seeking material for both of those as well (anyone else involved in those?! They're both slow starters for me...).

L is for... Louis Vuitton Condoms...?!

Yes, seriously.

K is for... Karl Lagerfeld



Funny that this should pop up in my Ebuzzing account, just as I was beginning to wonder to what extreme degree all fashion designers are both egotistical and self-indulgent...! (Have been looking into this for another post, which I will hopefully publish next week...) Couldn't let this one slide...!

So here we have Karl Lagerfeld interviewing himself, (yes, himself) for Net-a-Porter. It's actually quite funny and entertaining, so is worth a watch if you have a spare ten minutes! It's funny, because if this were any other person doing this, then we would all be questioning both his sanity, and that of anyone involved in the production. Dissociative Identity Disorder is the obvious mental health issue that springs to mind (amongst others). But, oh no, it's KARL LAGERFELD, it's not 'split' personality- it's just HIS personality! Love it. In fairness, I am not sure if it was his brain-child or that of Net-a-Porter, but either way, I couldn't see this working so well as a debut with any other designer. They will apparently be doing this with a series of different designers though, so watch this space...

M is for... Masonic.

I wasn't really sure whether or not to go ahead with this post actually, for two reasons: firstly, my agenda for writing this post isn't really fashion-based (I will come to this), and secondly, it is literally a subject that I could go on about for hours, and was worried, should I start, that I wouldn't stop and you'd all think me a psycho.

So I think I'm going to have to play this one by ear, and see if I can hit the 'Publish Post' button at the end ;). I would say 'wish me luck', but if you're reading this, I've already bitten the bullet, so instead I will wish YOU luck in the continuation of reading. Here we go...

C is for... Center Parcs!

This weekend saw our family trip to Center Parcs for Mum's Birthday. Mum, Dad, my sisters, their boyfriends, and I all went, and we stayed in a lovely executive lodge, complete with our own sauna...! Phone signal was dire, but luckily we got onto the wifi and everything was fine ;). Multimedia Medlin did not have a breakdown (thank goodness). I almost did though- as I managed to get to Center Parcs fine, all on my own (nothing to do with that Sat Nav that was on in my car), however, navigating my way to our lodge whilst in the actual 'Parcs' was ridiculous!! It took me approximately 35 minutes and I passed these two boys four times, and by the fourth time, they were actually laughing in my face. 'Oh good', I thought to myself.

R is for... Reiss SS12

FINALLY had a chance to look through the Reiss SS12 look book I was sent through last night! I checked out my friend Butter's post, as she was well in there with getting her blog-on, and was really impressed. Click here to see her post. LOVE Reiss. They've nailed another great collection.

N is for... Norman Parkinson. 'An Eye For Fashion' Exhibition.

MShed Bristol's Norman Parkinson 'An Eye For Fashion' exhibition preview night this Friday was really cool. We had a lovely time. It wasn't necessarily what I expected it would be, not in terms of the exhibition itself- that was everything I thought it would be- it was the event that wasn't really what I expected. And that is in no way meant to imply any negativity- the event was, if anything, better than I expected. The main differences were that it was a lot busier than I thought it would be (good atmosphere), a lot of people had made the effort to dress in the 50's and 60's optional dress code (fun), and instead if it being structured and guided (I don't really know why I thought it would be!?), everyone was free to walk around the exhibition at their leisure (accommodating). Anyway, here's a run-down of our night...
