Behind The Seams.

I'm in the market for a new handbag. Random. But true. Obviously it has to be within budget - but one can drool over the fantabulous treasures of leather...One in particular, is the Chanel 2.55 "In February 1955, Coco Chanel launched a bag that sparked a revolution in the world of luxury goods. The "2.55" takes its name from this date, and remains a synonym for elegance and exclusivity to this day

Cara Walsh + The Big Penis Book

Hmmm...sounds like a DVD you'd find in your local Dirty Den 'esque store, but unfortunately my friends it's not. Cara Walsh is a California native, great chef, good friend and most importantly - a ridiculously talented graphic designer. Cara has spent last two years working at Taschen and has had the great pleasure of designing a number of great books including; Tom of Finland, Neil Leifer, The Godfather Family Album, and the brilliantly titled The Big Book of Penis (not for the faint of heart - let me tell ya).

Proud To Be Mancunian

I'm Mancunian born and bred. I've been in New York City for just over 6 years and whilst I love it, I'm very proud of my hometown. This time last year I was caught up in Election Fever and was back home in England tallying up scores on a US vs UK scoreboard. The UK triumphed obviously. The latest track (Stellify) off former Stone Roses front man - Ian Brown's album is bloody brilliant. The video is set on a grey day in Manchester and leading a marching band, the man of the moment, marches on with the swagger of 10 men through the town center. To many it's a simple/basic video but I've gotta say - it makes me proud to be a Manc every time I hear the track and see the video.
