Hé oui!


Hé oui haha! À Londres, j'ai pissé dans la même toilette que la designer Hannah Marshall durant une semaine sans savoir qui c'était! J'ai découvert son travail (et elle même) des jours plus tard, en étudiant une marque de déodorant!

Connue pour avoir réinventé la "little black dress", elle est, semble t'il, beaucoup critiquée pour sa prétention. Pour ma part, j'ai détesté mon expérience en mode: J'y ai rencontré des personnes superficielles et peu créatives.  En outre, trois petites souris noires travaillaient en retrait dans un bureau de l'édifice chez Juicy Couture (les vrais créateurs). Sous leur couvert timide, ils étaient de loin, les plus sympathiques -et devinez quoi? Marshall en faisait partie-

Keep an eye on the Hot mess!


There is sooo many festivals in London! One among the bunch of the summer festivals is the Hot August Fringe for those who love queer night night!

This 28 of july, I assisted to the"Burn Film Festival" night, the reunification of little performances by cabaret artists and queer community's shorts projection at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.


For all queers lovers, I had the chance to watch screening exclusive materials from Hot Mess, a film on London's alternative drag & performance scene still in production (featuring Jonny Woo, Scottee, Holestar, Beth Ditto, Scissor Sisters, Peaches, Hercules and Love Affair, Pia, Amber) !

The last Tuesday society ou le jour où j'ai sniffé la marde à Amy winehouse


When I first saw it, ( a quick view of butterflies in boxes, fur and bones) I thought it was a stuffed animals shop. But it was stranger then that: people were sitting outside the shop in a round shape, as they were waiting for some kind of particular ceremony. The Last Tuesday Society. Still, i wrote the shop's name down in my little booklet and came back 2 weeks later with the girls.

But what was it?

"The Last Tuesday Society is the place for all the essentials of life that Tesco forget to stock. Quite possibly London’s strangest shop, this store features a wealth of curiosities including such items as shrunken heads, gynecological instruments, creatures in formaldehyde and rabid looking taxidermy." -Sarah Penny (thelondonworld.com)

In fact, this little museum//gif shop is the prolongation of and organization that create public reading and others kinds of strange events. You can read on their website that it's a "Pataphysical organization founded by William James at Harvard in the 1870s and presently run by The Chancellor, Mr.Viktor Wynd and the Tribune, Suzette Field with the aid of The Fellows of The Society" and that "It is devoted to exploring and furthering the esoteric, literary and artistic aspects of life in London and beyond"



Sooo, If you ever wonder to see the biggest mummified human penis, a scalp, strange wood dildos, pussy in formalin, a true fairy bestiary, stuffed cat and puppies for 2 pounds,

This place is for you!!

Before leaving the owner didn't missed the chance to make some cash-money by asking us a big COOL deal: Hé girls! Is any of you want to smell Amy Winehouse pooh? It's 5 quids for a sniff?

London's hidden stages: Wilton's Music Hall


Wilton's is the oldest Grand Music Hall in the World. Opened in 1958, after being a warehouse and survived to 2 world wars, it's now running by few fellows and it produces artistic & cultural events of any kinds.( cinema club, ping pong tournament, comedy, magic show, gigs).

I went to see a movie (BIG, 1988) and 3 littles performances (contortionist, magic, humour).
Was part of the London Comedy Film Festival and we all receive Love Da Popcorn. :)

Its soo crummy and cute. The atmosphere is friendly and local and there is a little bar & restaurant inside. Go there! (at the same time you will encourage the building's restoration)
