Oh I'm feeling v v Christmassy today and I've decided to wrap my pressie's tonight. I'm gonna light the xmas scented candles, crack open the port and play some Christmas tunes, including this Boney M number thats always the top of my list!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Baby its cold outside

Oh I do like to wake up to a snow covered landscape. On the way to work was somewhat dodgy, trying hard not to slip on my ass was not a good look! However, everyone on the street seem more friendly than usual, making eye contact and commenting on the cold conditions - so that was nice n jolly!

It's business as usual at Mama San's. If you 're feeling too cosy and don't want to leave the house ( I don't blame you) don't forget you can order online and we will deliver straight to your door. Easy and hassle free - Lovley!!!

Ricky Powell is cooooool

Basquiat and Warhol - I want this picture so much!

The MAN

I had an amazing night at the old Brighton Music Library last night. Legendary photographer Ricky Powell did a live talk/ slide show with DJ Format supplying the tunes. Ricky talked his audience through a set of amazing celebrity snapshots. These included early Beastie Boys (looking v v young) John Lee Hooker, Run DMC, Andy Warhol,Sophia Coppola, Jean - Michel Basquiat, Public Enemy, Keith Haring.

Ricky is exceptionally humble, down to earth and despite the huge talent in the room the whole affair had a low key vibe with lots of audience participation. He is also funny and the dude obviously still likes to party. The venue is a cold place but there was something quite appealing about the derelict basement and the underground buzz thats fast disappearing in Brighton. My fingers were numb, the toilets were disgusting but it was great and as I walked out I kept thinking to myself "what a life this man's lead - WHAT A LIFE!" Brilliant!

ITS FRIDAY!!!

This is an oldie but still makes me want to dance everytime I hear it!!! Aretha makes it look so effortless, not a key out of tune, and clearly loving it - just incredible. Happy Friday!!!

Love this Love Story

I watched "The Way We Were" again last week. I'd forgotten how fabulous this film was. Streisand and Redford are totally amazing. I love Streisand's character Katie. She is headstrong, intelligent, stands up for what she believes in yet she is vulnerable, caring and sooooo in love with Hubbell. As for Redford - Hubbell, the face of an Angel, but how can one forgive his actions towards the end of the film ? Although I know the ending, I always wish it could turn out differently every time I watch it.

There are so many amazing scenes in this film but I chose this one because it is the first time the two character's engage in a proper conversation and the part where Hubbel ties up Katie's shoe lace at the end is one of the most romantic scenes I have ever seen. Enjoy

ITS FRIDAY!!!

It's my first Friday back, so this week's Friday tune had to be a bad ass one! It was a toss up between The YYY's Bang or this baby. Both wicked tunes but this had the cooler vid. Enjoy. Happy Friday x
