"...Maybe they weren't on stilts, maybe it was magic."

Giséle Scanlon, one of my favourite fashion journalists/beauty know-it-alls featured, in her last Goddess Guide book (which I most definitely recommend buying, I have editions I and II) a segement on Vivienne Westwood, one of the most inspiring and incredible fashion designers of all time.
Today I found that she actually recorded her interview and (as she stated in her book) the show that Vivienne herself gave her a backstage pass to as well as letting her view her creative process.
Obviously when I found this video I completely lost my shit and even now I feel all giddy and inspired to read, write and draw.
Here is a compilation of stills that I gathered from Giséle's video, I just love all the colours and shapes of Vivienne's work, and how even though some of it is far out, it is still British (see in the video the fur ensemble with the mod symbol on the model's head) and I love how she reminds me of a wacky Queen Elizabeth I.  Her northern accent also made me proper happy.
I will put the video at the end as well along with a link to Giséle's blog.
Absolutely incredible.




Here is the original video for your viewing pleasure:

Makes me want my bob back. Gorgeous.

Desperately want a cat like this.



But i'll have to settle for rats when I move to Hyde Park next year.

Just recieved random hate from nowhere on Tumblr.

Fucking pisses me off, all those keyboard warriors. Sort yourself esteem out, calling me stupid doesn't make you more intelligent.
Pricks.

The palette used in this painting is dreamy, I love the contrast between the subtle navy with the mustard yellow.
Makes me sad that I gave up art. I'm better at songwriting though, anyway.

Me and our Laura on bonfire night in Hyde Park, Leeds.

We got free sparklers n shit. People were letting off fireworks in the middle of the street a few yards away from us. Int Hyde Park lovely.



Well it's been a long time.

Don't really know why i've come back, but I have.
All of my previous posts are from when I was in 6thform, I am now doing my 2nd year of an English literature degree at Leeds Met.
This is what I look like now (I am in the green skirt) :

Weird what a few years can do isn't it.
As I did before I will be posting any/all of my random writings/songs/thoughts/poetry/images/rants, so yeah.
