My life in inside out and upside down at the moment. But I wanted to share this gorgeous photo of Placebo. It was taken after they won the MTV Europe award for Best Alternative Act. I know that they probably think that awards from MTV are pretty much bollocks, but the look on their faces, and the videos of the taking the piss out of the whole things are priceless. And I really do think that they are happy to have recieved some recognition, ‘After fifteen years’. What can I say, look at them, they’re amazing and adorable. Plus, Stefan’s suit is beyond amazing.

To cap things off, this is me after I valedicted from college:

And this is me with my brand new hair, courtesy of the art director and top colourist of Toni and Guy in Paddington. I love being a hair model.

The Great Race

29Oct09

My brother, James sent me the link to this clip today. It absolutely made my day. It’s the pie fight from the film The Great Race (1965). This was one of our most watched films when we were little. I really want to watch it now. Professor Fate…the Great Leslie…Max. Professor Fate was a maniac and good fun. Leslie was the dish. Max the dumb sidekick. Am I the only person of my vintage/generation whom was brought up on films like this and Genevieve, The King and I and Annie? I remember I went through a period where Annie was the only film which I’d want to watch. Maybe it’s my parents baby boomer Anglo-centric tastes. Regardless, I leave you with the great pie fight…
