I Finally Have the Woman of My Dreams
/
I first laid eyes on Melanie in a coffee table book, 'Kitsch Deluxe'. Since then, and for the last five or six years, I've been trying to find her.
I found one of her friends, Nicole, a Jackie O lookalike, also by the painter Louis Shabner. I picked her up at a car boot sale for £20 or so, and she remains one of my favourite prints in the house.
Melanie though, just never appeared anywhere. She would pop up every few weeks on eBay, but always went for anything between £50 and £150, which I just couldn't justify spending when groceries cost so much these days.
About a week ago, about six in the morning, I clicked on my 'Shabner' saved search in eBay and there she was. Starting bid £0.99, Buy It Now £19.99
I would NEVER find her again at that price, so I just HAD to buy her. She arrived today and is as stunning & bright in real life as in the photos.
Now all I need is a Tretchikoff.
The Slayer Christmas Jumper

I was alerted to the existence of this fine piece of apparel by @edwinmcfee on Twitter.
If you want to get one for yourself act fast. Backstreet Merch sold out over night and have just sourced a few more for dispatch around the 14th December.

Mentalist David Meade is Levitating 20ft High at Victoria Square- Right Now

He actually is a mentalist. Palms all sweaty just looking at these photos from Twitter right now.
If you are outside of Northern Ireland, you can still find David's show Make Believe on the BBC iplayer with a quick search.

Tweeting Gloves for Winter 2012
/
Last winter I bought myself these fancy as hell brown leather gloves. I was the bee's knees. Until I realised I am surgically attached to my iPhone, so whether I was waiting outside school for my son or spotting something in a shop window I wanted to photo & price check, the gloves spent more time stuffed in my pocket than on my hands.
Internet access always won over hand cosiness. Etre emailed me with their nautical autumn/winter collection & I immediately spied their Touchy Gloves.
It's the natural evolution of gloves for us smart phone addicts, simply removing the index finger tip & thumb means you can tweet from the bus stop without having to undress your handies.
Sea-faring colour schemes are my favourite, and would also make a great gift for Dads who are notoriously tricky to buy for at Christmas.
