I like pulling faces.

So last weekend (no not that one, the one before, with the heatwave) my great mate Klee came down to London to hang out, and it was lovely. We spent a weekend doing lovely things together.

We went dahn Brick Lane and walked around Spitalfields market, we didn’t buy anything (although I wanted to buy a hunter waistcoat for £15 – Klee wouldn’t let me.)

I surprised her with going to the Zoo. We saw the penguin feeding time. LOTS OF FISH.

We had a little picnic nearby to a canal and used shoes as bottle holders, which yes was my genius idea (using my stupid shoes)…

We went down for a stroll through Camden, I cooked a lovely Spinach and Feta Filo Pie (which was gorgeous btw, I am an amazing host). It was all, as apparently the cockneys say, cushty.

On the following Monday we went to Klee’s friends birthday celebrations where another of Klee’s friends Liv and I pull faces in some photos. I LOVE THESE PHOTOS. I just love pulling faces. Klee’s mega lazer eyes of death were a bit worrying though…

So anyway, the reason for blogging is to let you know I’m alive, rather happy, and rediscovered that I like pulling faces.

Perfect profile pictures? Possible?

I know I have a problem with getting the perfect profile picture, and I’m hoping this guide will help me.

On a side note, I really hope this is a character. If it is, I think he’s got a long future ahead of him.

SHOES!

What girl doesn’t love shoes, and I’m no different… wait, what?…

Seeing as this week is London Fashion Week, I’ve come to evaluate where I stand on a few things and realised I believe men’s fashion is boring compared to women’s fashion. So how can I make my outfits more fun and lively, without compromising my semi-professional, casual freelance attire? I plan to do it with shoes.

These are the shoes I wore today, for the first time…

These glorious gold sparkly DMs I picked up off eBay for less than £10, and I genuinely love them. They are a bit out there and I’m sure I’d suit wearing them more if part of Sink the Pink or something, but I still love them and plan to wear them with my normal clothes.

If I use these shoes, it means I can give my furry pink animal print slip on’s a rest…

So the moral of the story is, shoes are cool… and if you find some amazingly camp shoes size 11 online, send me the link!

Third festival: Green Man, done.

So, I have finally recovered from my last huge festival of the summer, Green Man.

Easily my favourite of all the festivals, not only because they asked me to compere the main stage, and host the radio’s breakfast show every morning… It’s the vibe. It reminds me a lot of Bestival in the early days – not fancy dress and not as silly, but a pure, non-commercial fun-filled festival.

The people that run it (Fiona, Ben and Nush) are amazingly lovely, and run a very tight ship. The festival sold out this year, and it’s a credit to those three, as the festival is something they all really love working on, and you can tell with the production of it all.

I was there, compering and hosting the breakfast show, but also running Green Man Radio with @paulnoble for @popupradio. It was genius, we had loads of people in and it was all great fun. Although, weirdly, none of that is my highlight of the weekend.

My highlight of the weekend was Friday evening, after getting The 2 Bears and Horse Meat Disco in to do a show on Green Man Radio, and being asked to dance for The 2 Bears on stage, in a bear costume. The most amazing, yet humiliating experience of the weekend. LOVED IT.

Anyway, my breakfast shows are now online on mixcloud here. I’ve had lots of fun, photos of me on the main stage are coming to me soon. I can’t wait to see them.

The next festival is a street party in Shoreditch this Sunday called Bookstock. Held by the people that run The Book Club, when they ran a street party for the royal wedding, it was the second largest in London! See you there, I’l be hosting the main stage.

Second festival: Big Chill, done.

So Big Chill was good. Really really good line up (of which they only announced fully two weeks before the festival for some reason) and I heard a lot of the music was bang on.

I say I heard, instead of experienced, because instead of going as a punter, I – alongside great mate Paul Noble, ran Big Chill Radio and the imaginatively named, 1000 capacity, Big Chill Radio Stage.

On the radio we had lots of variety – from Spotify Request Shows (of which I presented one, listenable here) through to Ruth Barnes‘ The Other Woman radio show. From Chris Coco presenting his Melodica show, to 6music’s Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show.

Our stage hosted headliners Bill Brewster, Cutline and Maurice Fulton, as well as Gatto Fritto, Kutmah and Lee Nelson’s Well Good Party with Lee, and Omelette.

It’s been a knackering weekend, and I’ve only JUST recovered, but I am now gearing up for Green Man next weekend, which is going to be amazing. If you have the tickets that allow you to access the site before the festival for a little camping holiday, then I will be hosting a very special edition of my Pub Quiz Show on Tuesday night at the Holiday Inn bar.

See you there!
