Truly beautiful and captivating colour footage of 1920s London shot by an early British pioneer of film named Claude Frisse-Greene, who made a series of travelogues using the colour process his father William - a noted cinematographer - was experimenting with.
To me it feels like I'm watching a like a moving old oil painting of my fav city.
It's great to see how London has evolved in architecture, function, fashion and most obviously the diversity of its people.
Love love love. I could watch it so many times.

TYRSA for Jordan
I am a big fan of the french illustrator Tyrsa, who has been very busy lately producing work and collaborating with just about everyone - I hope some of it makes it across the channel to London. Follow him on instagram or facebook for visual delights!
Just came across this yum vid with music by a great DJ and friend SUPA!

RHS Chelsea Flower Show
It's nearly Chelsea Time!!!!
Last year I was invited by RHS to attend the Chelsea Flower Show. I'm a floral addict so I had reached my heaven on earth; flowers, sunshine, food, drink and live music. It was so sunny and I totally overdosed on pollen and beauty, it was a great event to welcome the summer and I really couldn't believe that I hadn't attended before, so I made a promise that it would become an annual event from then onwards.
Here's a recap of 2012

THAT AIN'T THE HARLEM SHAKE
In case you've been under a rock or you're just not online as much as I am; please find below the latest internet meme 'The Harlem Shake'. Most people are like "Oh I know the Harlem Shake" but this latest madness makes no sense, has an unknown origin and is nothing like the ACTUAL dance move we all know, love and want to be able to do. BUT due to its randomness and soul-freeing quality its pretty funny.
The Rules:
It is always performed to Baauer song "Harlem Shake" released last year. It involves a group of people acting normal while one person stands up (usually with a helmet on) and hip thrusts while everyone is ignoring this stange behaviour for the intro of the song THEN once the song drops all hell breaks loose and everyone starts 'dancing' one person is usually doing a handstand against the wall, someone is usually topless and crazy shaking is partaken by all.
Its actually an epidemic as last night while on the tube I felt compelled to play the song on loud speaker, stand up and start thrusting - but of course we didn't have enough participants - you always need a headstander.
But what does Harlem think of the NEW Harlem Shake?
