I went to an exhibition at the Tate Britain for my drawing project (400 years of drawing - very good, I especially enjoyed the David Shrigley (i never know how you spell it) animation of a lightswitch which made me repeatedly turn on and off my own bedroom light) After that me and Lotte were up to Oxford Street - topshop sale! pants for a quid! hurrah! and a Laura Lees dress for half price that I had wanted for aages
Decided to have a market weekend after that, going to Borough market for food (as I always do) then to Spitalfields with my flatmate - Rather smaller than I imagined but nevertheless some really great stalls! Obviously there were those chinese doll things that are EVERYWHERE, but they had some really original ones with conquergear.com with some cute tees...
But my personal favourite was lovefromhettyanddave.co.uk which do
SUPERCUTE handmade stuff out of leather! I bought mr mustache here ( I love him sooo much! and he compliments my tatty necklace)... but they do other
s which I wish that I could buy if I had more money!
On the saturday I went on a looong
walk around Portobello market, I really wanted to find something to buy b
ut found it all a bit too expensive and touristy, and I diddnt find anything I wanted anyway, ahh well was good exercise - On the night Eunie and I went to see Slow Club and Tilly and the Wall at ULU- probably one of the best gigs ive been to as I really love both of the bands and it was just so relaxed but super happy and everyone was just dancing
around having a good time - I would deffinatly suggest seeing either of these two bands, but together it was just amazing! That was followed by a midnight snack at Ed's Diner in Soho! they do the best milkshakes!

Halloween soon! I'm going to see The Mighty Boosh (YAAAAAAAY!!) on friday!!!! aka 31st aka halloween - therefore it demanded a very special costume! which I have been making instead of doing my university work but hey! im being creative and creativity counts in art school! (I hope)
My inital idea was to go a
s the Crack Fox, but I diddnt know how or where to get fake fur and other such problems so i'm going as an eel from the EELS! song :D and eels are pretty scary anyway! It basically consists of me looking a twit in a catsuit with a fish head made out of cardboard! im thinking of creating some sort of tail fin but thats in the making! total cost: £0! found the boxes in the kitchen and already had the catsuit mwhahah!
check it out so far:
The reaction so far has been "what ARE you?!??!" followed by laughter, laughter, and "you look like a monster from pokemon"...so its all good! Its going to be a fun walk around Birmingham on friday then!
If I wasnt going to see the boosh I probably wouldve gone to ghost a go go at Oh My God I Miss You! though...looks amazing! and go on their website for information and a spooktacular tune!
