The Kate Moss Book Party

You know they are a SUPER super brand and star when a big name design like, i donno, Marc Jacobs threws you a party for your book release!
The Part was held at Mayfair Book Shop, which Marc Jacobs owns, and people of the VIP celeb list like Liberty Ross, Florence Welch, Stella McCartney, Alison Mosshart, Boy George, Noel Gallagher, Cara Delevingne, Virginia Bates and Edie Campbell attended the party.
The Book is of all Kate Moss' photos as a supermodel, from day one to present, cut outs the lot!
I wonder if this photo will be in the book, or a photo of her with one of the 76 cocktails she had that night, wow! But know one can lie, she looks amazing in that Gold Dress.

The word "Mum" came from mens slang in the early 19th Century. Men used to call there wifes morons, because they sat around the house doing nothing, there slang word for morons was mum!

"Any time we girls have to go to work the reult, historically, is that we do things better than the oppisite sex. I mean gentlemen will go to all the trouble of keeping office hours and holding Board Meetings and getting Mr Gallup to make a poll, and sending their Public Relations agents to Washington, in order to reach a decision which any blonde could reach while was refurbishing her lipstick " Anita Loos, 'Decline and Fall of Blondes' Vogue 1951

How to wear Clashing Prints

Mis-Achievement

A visiting Artit to my Uni the other day, came to talk to us about what a success she has become since graduating from The University of Derby. Her name, Anoinette Burchill, https://twitter.com/MisAchievement. What she had to say was cool, but i didn't really understan it, it was to do with the theatre and street performances, and she was using that kind of lingo. So as a fashion student it went over my head, so I used my skills and sussed her out by what she was wearing.
The atmosphere in the room when I walked in was excitement but chilled, The Runaway Boys were on in the background and Antoinette was swaying along until everyone was seated. She was wearing a 1950's rockability dress from pulp, such a cool dress. It was black, with red and pink flowers on, but with a contemporary print over the top of naked posed women. She had styled herself with a Black fitted jacket with a pleat over the bum, and she had a top hat on that sat proptly on her wavy hair it had a pink feather on the side.

Her company mis-achievement, is an achievement that was created my mischief. A Quirky Mayhem!

She began to tell us a story of how she got so interested in mischief art. When she was younger, she made a cupcake, not an ordinary one, she made it out of a cleaning sponge, she cut it into the shape of a cup cake, put it into a cake case and put iceing on it and a cherry. She then gave it to her dad to see what he thought.... I would so like to know what happened next! Well She became succesful!
