Heroes and Villains…
This week we’ve been feeling all festive (we know there are about 50 days to go til Xmas but we don’t care!)
Big sparkly jingle bells to:
- Ice Skating: the lovely rink at the Natural History Museum has fairy lights and a big tree as well as mulled wine, green and blacks chocolate and the rink itself. Thanks to Amy at Amazing Media for inviting us and here’s Zoe’s footage…
- Snowball Martini: one of the Xmas cocktails at the Mandeville Hotel. It’s like a snowglobe in a glass and tastes like After Eights mints…
- Luke Blackall: thanks for writing the Justin Sandercoe biog for us
And yes, Mr Bling will be in safe hands…
- Marshall: girl band The Kut have an endorsement with the king of the amps and big thanks to their press office for being helpful…
- The nice people working on the train from Arundel to Victoria: how refreshing to have ticket inspectors who are friendly and have a sense of humour!
- Pearl Lowe for Peacocks: we have a selection of dresses in the office that are really cute. Great collaboration
- Matt Wells from DV8: we’re loving working with you. The greatest things are so often the simplest…
- Nic Carrington from Voltz: thanks for coming all the way up from Bournemouth to have lunch with us!
And lumps of coal:
- Gloves and mittens: Dan and I have both lost ours and it’s pretty chilly in the tube train…
- This Dating Coach Guy: check him out… £20 to get all the *advice* he has to offer on finding a man. We wonder how much Sam Young could charge for this service!
- Anyone who thinks it’s too early to put up tinsel: come and hang out in our tube carriage and we’ll change your mind. And bring some mince pies…
This week’s Happy Birthdays: Simon Ward, Rich Hendry and my mum…

My Boutique: snowflake dress
Last week we got all Xmassy what with ice skating and drinking snowball martinis at the Mandeville Hotel so we’re loving this snowy white party dress from My Boutique.

Now the boys have warmed up…
Krakatoa have had a fantastic response to the first five nights of their tour supporting Alabama 3, but it’s only going to hot up even more. This week, the boys are heading to:
The Academy in Oxford
The Kentish Town Forum in North London
Concorde 2 in Brighton
Rock City in Nottingham
The Academy in Newcastle
The Academy in Glasgow
Moshulu in Aberdeen
Tickets are selling fast (or have already sold out in some cases!), but we do have a few spaces for any bloggers out there that would like to go along and review the gig (which really is a night not to be missed). To check out the bands Myspace click here
