I have had to listen to a lot of jazz shows at work recently. Just by pure aural osmosis you pick up loadsa tit bits of info. Did you know that Louis Armstrong's nickname Satchmo is a shortened version of his original nickname - Satchelmouth? Apparently called so because he's mouth looked like a Satchel? Well I never and Wtf?
I'm gonna start caling Margaux, "Clutchbabo" - why I hear you scream? Cos she has a Bouche like a Clutch Bag of course! So my mind has been finally tuned into the jazz. I even started cracking up in the supermarket when I noticed you could be Loose Jazz Apples. One bit and you'll be banging out a tune on the old joanna like Duke Ellington... Be bap b bo doo wap!
If I could forever wear Nana high waisted, tapered pants I would. Pure love 'em. Something about sherbert lemon colour in the summer too - winner. Last season gladiators still serving me well until they fall to pieces. I predict this will happen half way thru my holiday in Barcelona next week. Watch this space for holiday snaps and bare feet. Also this necklace wish kinda just looks like a rope is in fact made out of recycled shop tags... tried to find a photo of the things on the tinternet but alas no. They are half metal cone thingys sprayed yella and strung together. It's from Cos. It's nice cos it is entirely made from the shops surplus. Captain Planet!
Is it a monster? Is it Pat Butcher? Naw it's a Wild Gorilla! Me and Will spotted it in Notting Hill! Naw japes blud!
And this weird black hole shaped like a man. It's like he just got beamed to another galaxy or sum sheeet!
