Kate Moss accepting David Bowie's BRIT award

Anglophiles unite! No that sounds bad when you say it in some places in Australia! Political debate aside, did everyone catch that ridiculously glorious, over the top, amalgamated moment of music history and fashion clashing in the most crazy way?

I'm talking about Kate Moss accepting David Bowie's BRIT award on his behalf!

Because, you know, only having one supermodel (Iman! what a stunner!) to help with the daily tasks of Bowie-ness ain't enough, I wonder if the British will recall this as a crazily monumental moment in BRIT award history, like Ginger Spice wearing the Union Jack tea towel in the nineties? Maybe it's long reaching Britsh-ness is what enthrals me? 

I think she looked great in a surreal moment of Wow-ness!

Here is a link to a video of the moment, Noel Gallagher makes me laugh! I think Kate looks great in Bowie's iconic rabbit suit

Thoughts? Did only I enjoy this moment perhaps a bit much? I hope not!

'Stay with us Scotland!' 

Pics from Daily Mail, I realise a lot of British really don't like the DM, I do apologise, I love their ridiculousness!

Frida Kahlo was also known for her hand shaped earrings

We often take our hands for granted. I burnt the crap out of mine just the other month and found daily tasks hard. It shouldn't take something not working for it to be appreciated

Beautiful jewellery concept in the age of awful opulence

Brewster McCloud

This post is for my sister who got me onto this film a few years ago. Brewster McCloud (starring Bud Cort of Harold and Maude fame) is a film that has been strangely neglected. I'm not going to ruin it by 'reviewing' it suffice only to say, i like the philosophical elements and Shelley Duvall's first movie was this film, she really is cute in it. It's such a simple concept for a film, obsession with flight, so good.If you like 70's films and clothes and everything, this is a film for you

Mesmerising

Made popular by Loie Fuller read more there. I love that the colours were added later, what painstaking effort! and that enchanting score by Raph Regan keeps the enchantment going until the music sadly stops...
