No doubt you’ve heard of this terrible story of the crazy woman being caught dumping a sweet little cat into a wheelie bin in Coventry.
I thought Keyboard cat needed to have a say on the matter and play the poor little cat off so I created this little video…

Fuck we’re trendy. On Sunday, Lady Worthington and I woke up in the coolest suburb in the UK, drank a cup of delicious stovetop coffee before jumping on our bikes (single speed no less) and headed off to a style blogger yard sale!
We picked up word of the event on the lovely park&cube blog and headed down to see Shini, hoping to see some other blogging friends too. We bumped into the delightful Saskia and Fi of Save our Shoes fame and got, like, 10 meters away from Suzie Bubble. OMG. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Suzie seemed actually quite down to earth and friendly and well.. normal.
Unfortunately, as is the realm of style blogging and this being an opportunity for bloggers to trade in their wares it wasn’t my kinda shopping event… I did however meet Ferry (formerly Bryan Ferry) the Ferret who was very cute and well on the way to a full recovery thanks to his kind new owner. I also luckily won Fi’s Pakistan flood raffle – scoring a pair of Pants to Poverty trunks. Doesn’t get more hipster than that!
first stop. Coffeeeeeee…. boom
Come though? yes please!

and with thanks to jalouse magazine.

I’ve just come back from a great exhibition from the decked project in W1. The show consisted, along with a few free drinks, around 50 skateboard decks of all shapes & sizes that had been given the once over by some seriously tallented designers and artists.
Seems like there is more than one way to skin a cat and more than one way to get creative with a deck. Haroshi’s layered skateboards are transformed “through styles such as wooden mosaic, dots, and pixels; where each element, either cut out in different shapes or kept in their original form, are connected in different styles, and shaven into the form of the final art piece.” uh huh.
They’re very cool, finely crafted and 120% awesomeness. I love their vinyl toy style too. yes please.

Nearly a year to the day, I found and wrote about an amazing short film by Tomas Mankovsky: Sorry I’m late
He was kind enough to send across his new film, a promo made for the band Dancing Pigeons and Diesel called ‘the duel’. It’s a slow burner, and like ‘Sorry I’m late’ it’s absolutely amazing with some very impressive visuals and some even more impressive characters. I really wonder where they cast those guys from..
It’s a very simple idea perfectly executed, just like a great ad. But then I guess it is an ad for Diesel, sort of. Anyway, take a peek, what do you think?

It’s often the most important item in a room and usually the most central. Of our three key daily rituals – eating, working, sleeping – two are performed at one. However, there’s much thought placed into how a table functions, it’s materials and subsequent aesthetics that are the most common variables. A table is usually stuck as a flat surface with four legs.
My previous desk crush, the dutch ‘milk’ may have just been usurped by this one-of-a-kind RD table fashioned out of solid American walnut by London based furniture design start-up Makemei.
It’s unique feature is a “tilted area with a carved out surface is specially designed for displaying literature. magazines and books sit slightly angled, enabling ease of reading but without slipping.” it’s a beautifully subtle tweak to the standard desk design, giving it a redefined focus and purpose.
Makemei was established in 2009 by Camiel Weijenberg & Talenia Phua Gajardo who both met working at Zaha Hadid. Their first products are clearly born out of shared architectural sensibilities and theory; materials are chosen not only for their appearance but the meanings that are imbued within them and the unique properties they hold.
‘Mei’ in Mandarin means Beautiful so Makemei literally means to MakeBeautiful.
So far so good.
