You only have 2 days left to see the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibition at the V&A! And this is why you should drop everything and go! ... I don’t want to give way any spoilers but entering the last room, I felt like a child wondering into a large cave of wonders. Over stimulated from piece to piece towering into obscurity, jaw dropped, hairs on end I wondered through a dream.

Check out my last minute plea to get London folk to see Savage Beauty before if closes tomorrow!!!

Saw a discard Barbie on the train platform. It felt so violent. The lack of dignity she was left in. Face down and naked. I know it's only a doll but for a moment she felt real.

Application in for Made In Clerkenwell. Fingers crossed! Love putting together an application it's a really good opportunity to reflect on what you've been doing and what you are really about.
