Five things i'm into right now ...

1. Little Boots
With her brand of eletro-pop this young lady is a breath of fresh air. As the music industry continues to be poisoned with winners and contestants from reality television shows, I imagine it's hard for artists like Little Boots to pitch yourself against such competition who have the benefit of the whole country behind them due to their exposure on commercial TV. She works hard, has a great voice, plays numerous instruments and Tweets loaaaads, haha. You must check her out. http://www.myspace.com/littleboots




2. Monkey Nuts
Actually eating some of these bad boys as I write and they are awesome. Spilling out of the bag in their entire pod, I crack and munch. No salt, no added preservatives or anything which is bad for the hips and arse. Nutrient rich, providing over 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients they are full of antioxidants. I could actually sit here all night and tear through a bag myself, hello friday night, a date with a bag of monkey nuts! .. Winner





3. Agyness Deyn
Ok, I know what you're thinking. She's hot right? Granted she looks rather special and has beautiful blonde hair and piercing blue eyes but ...... She's very good at what she does. Sure some of the work she's been involved in has been questionable and a bit "out there", like the naked jumping from a New York block of flats, totally in the buff, a tad strange even by my standards.

One must say, I've never been a huge fan of these stick thin models who seemingly appear out of nowhere and embrace indie rockers but recently I've found them to be totally alluring. Dubbed the worlds next supermodel Agyness is keeping up the trend of exceptional British girls working the catwalks and caemras. Ace work Ms Dean, ace work indeed ... 






4. Flickr
Do you use Flickr? I've always been aware of it's online existence but have never explored the simple photo upload site. The sheer amount of splendid imagery available for you to feast your eyes on is immense. Amateur or professional, people of all ages show off their steady hand, artistic eye and sublime compositions. This online community offers hours of enjoyment. Nothing like an easy Sunday spent navigating my way through a seemingly infinite hedonistic environment. Here's one of my faves captured by the magical eye of a female photographer who lives in Brighton  ... http://www.flickr.com/photos/ndybisz/4034351165/




5. Christmas Knitwear
Time to bust out the woolly jumpers decorated with reindeer's and snowflakes. I've been waiting for weeks leading up to the festive season to dig out my seasonal pullover. Warm and snug, this GAP beauty may make me look chubby but it's totally worth it. And according to the Guardian Fashion editor festive designs on heavy knitwear are making a comeback. Well I never, can you say .... Trend setter? Haha. 




I'm back ...

Some would say I’m joining the blog bandwagon rather late and that I’m behind on the times and more suited to the dated arena of social networking sites like Myspace and Facebook. In honest truth, I began my blogging career over a year ago but have since taken a break and indulged in various pursuits.

A Blogging Revival

Whilst I freelance for various news providers I also have a few days here and there with some downtime. In saying that, why not demonstrate and improve my writing skills by getting back to my blog page and having a wee scribble.  My good friend and former housemate Kat has kept up with her blog for a while now, and when I do have the time to take a peak and a read I find her reflections and stories a-class. So lets see if I can keep up with the rest of you and produce some novel and interesting pieces of work ...

Keep it real,
