… Not a pin up, not a hold up. The title actually refers to my brother’s first ever photography exhibition that opened last night at The Foundry, near Old Street. His work is being exhibited alongside the photographs of three other up-and-coming artists, and though there was a loose sense of a crime scene theme in the basement area* they had taken over for the exhibition, the styles on display were quite eclectic.

Big Brother, the springboard for the late Jade Goody’s success, will soon return to our screens; however, are we all still so enticed by reality TV to justify a tenth series? Do the British Public really want to witness more highly-disturbed individuals all clutching for their 15 minutes of fame?

Ha! Ok, the comping might need a little work…but this is still a shining example of the genius of the Content-Generation Generation…and there’s got to be an insight here for brands. The Gregory Brothers are fiddling with the news after all. Of all the things young, hard-to-pin consumers are going to seek out, cherish and interact with…the news?

As you all know, in fashion one day you’re in, and the next day you’re out.
Jeans, no matter where or when, are definitely must-have pieces in your life for casual or formal occasions. As time goes by, jeans seem to be more and more important in designers’ collections; recall the 09 Fall/Winter fashion shows, from DSquared to Balmain, from Michael Kors to Louis Vuitton, most designers realised the crucial position of this classic item.

Have you ever downloaded a film illegally? Have you ever downloaded a film illegally while thinking to yourself, “If this is any good, I’ll pay for it on iTunes.” Hmm. If you answered yes to either of those questions…you might be a Trysumer. Continue reading ‘Trysumerism’
I love Marmite. On my toast, in sandwiches, in soups, stews and all sorts of wonderful munchies. Marmite is great. Unless of course you don’t like it. And there are few things in the world that polarise people as much as the yummy yeast by- product of brewing. A fact that the company have taken advantage of since the 90’s with their ‘Love It / Hate It’ campaign which has produced some great ads, like this: Continue reading ‘You gotta love it (or hate it)’
I came across this video as pre-requisite watching for my degree. While web 2.0 has been discussed previously on the blog, personally I find technology videos a bit tedious and have difficulty sitting through them. Continue reading ‘Inspiration, Innovation, Information -- Web 2.0′
“I believe that my next 100 days will be so successful I will be able to complete them in 72 days,” Obama said. “And on the 73rd day, I’m going to rest.”
Hilarious? Possibly. Tradition, sure; everyone loves a good roast. But one of the first things that struck me when I watched through highlights from Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ dinner was this side of Obama we haven’t seen a ton of yet -- master of the partisan punchline. Of course, he made fun of himself and the Democrats too…but there were definitely some claws out (laugh-worthy) moments dedicated very specifically to Republicans, past and present. Continue reading ‘Obama: zing!’
To be clear, I really enjoy watching cricket and football (in that order) but I absolutely unreservedly love rugby!
Fifteen strong, sweaty men fighting over a very strange shaped ball with no – absolutely no – whinging when they fall down or are tackled – what is not to love? So when I can combine this with my techie tendencies, interest pretty much reaches fever pitch. Continue reading ‘From the people who brought you the mp3 player ….’
