World Styles

Another day another photo shoot, this time it took place, rather eccentrically I think, in full view of shoppers in Birmingham with the largest prop this side of Newcastle.

The purple chair and I are  promoting the How to Look Good road show to take place in September 23^rd to 25^th September in the Pavillions Shopping Centre as part of the Style Birmingham Live Weekend hosted by George Lamb.

Decked out in new season John Rocha and enjoying my latest acquisition from Kurt Geiger (a pair of kitten-heel sling-backs finally making their way into my wardrobe) the moment of serenity was challenged, when one helpful shopper pointed out that I had committed the ultimate style faux pas by leaving the lable on the underside of my new shoes.

Ha Ha, I had to take myself off and smack my own bottom, as she twittered furiously of my foolish amateurishness for all to know.I quashed the internet chatter by asserting that Marc Jacobs is considering a new collection of clothes featuring labels sticking out and I was merely ahead of the game.

She said: “I’m really sad.

“Amy changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her.

If shopping at Primark isn’t your bag, but you can’t afford Topshop’s increasingly arrogant prices, you’ll be pleased to know that Forever 21 has finally, finally come to Oxford Street in London.

Last night I got a sneak peak of the shop before it opens its doors to the masses today, and I was seriously, seriously impressed.This store is HUGE. And by “huge” I mean three massive floors of affordable, trendy clothing, accessories and jewelry. (And hats, and make-up bags, and headbands!)

Forever 21 opened its first store in April 1984 in Los Angeles, and now they have stores everywhere from Singapore, to Kuwait, to the Philippines.

This brilliant and talented artist takes old Ford parts and makes robots of various pieces.

The recycled robots are whimsical and set in various curiously funny poses, with each one being unique and a true work of art.

Ford ’51 is equipped and ready to explore your airless moon or mining asteroid. He can even perform extravehicular repairs while in transit.

Ford gets his name from the preexisting handwritten label on his 51 Ford solenoid body.
