What I'm reading now...
I'm currently reading Crocodile Soup by Julia Darling a story about Gert, a museum Egyptologist, who whilst telling us of her present troubled situation (with love and life) recounts her weird and wonderful childhood. There are mouthfuls of beautiful words in the book and it's so descriptive that it's almost like poetry. The chapters are nice and short which I always prefer as a "just one chapter before bed" type reader. It's laugh out loud funny and very clever. Not bad for a book I nicked from a holiday villa. Oh and the cover is brilliant!

Rilakkuma
Here it is. My new obsession after The Moomins. Rilakkuma!! It's essentially the 5 year old in me desperate for a cuddly toy. It's getting a little bit like all the every day objects I need have to have a face!
Bengt Fashion
My friends Sereena and Eva launched their online fashion store last night with drinks and music at the Ideas Generation Gallery in Shoreditch. We were treated to a catwalk show with some gorgeous models decked out in the designs you can buy at www.bengtfashion.com from today! My favourites were the feather necklaces by Carole Gould and the Red Romper Suit by Polly Storm Wilkinson. Check out the site for loads more dresses, accessories and knitwear. Catwalk pics to follow shortly taken by my own fair hands. I got roped in so it was back to the old school for me when the camera was thrust into my sweating palms! Nerve wracking or what.

Music Videos
None of these are particularly new but I have only just discovered them in recent months so I will share with you. If you've got a free 15 minutes check out these music videos. All have some sort of animation or visual affects that make them special and worth a watch. If you want to know more about the video makers I've put their names in brackets.

Some Photos by David Lapachelle
I love the colours and the big production and the fanciful nature that Lapachelle's work offers the viewer. He's not my favourite but I still enjoy the photographs. Mind you, any photograph featuring a giant burger has to be a winner. Photographs copyright David Lapachelle.
dance
One of my favourite repeat viewings on youtube is this rehearsal for the chris brown forever music video. So if you like street dancing you might care to watch it. I'm into the dancing, it's not a great video though. I've given a link to the music video below that.

The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose.
I watched Match Point for the second time last night. The first time was in a cinema in Dijon, France when I had nothing better to do. I really like it although it's not your usual Woody Allen film. It's not full of neurotic dialogue, things seem to be said a lot more by facial expressions. I really like Scarlett Johansson and Matthew Goode in this.
