football Dali & vintage clothing
basic update
The past few weeks I have spent a Saturday at Hampstead Heath enjoying the sunshine with Claire, wandering soho for Agent Provocateur knickers –and ahem jobs… I went to an Arsenal vs. Prague Spartans football game… a friend of Carla’s has a family box, we sat with Will & his fiancé Vaida, his parents, his brother & friends, we ate dinner at half time and were served wine by our private server… not bad not bad at all… Arsenal won.
On Friday Carla & I went to the Tate Modern and saw the Dali exhibition, room after room after room of Dali at various points in his life… I have seen a few Dali exhibitions and this by far tops them all. There was several movies he made, collaborated on or designed… the most wonderful was an animated Walt Disney /Dali collaboration called Destino, it wasn’t completed until 2003 because of financial trouble at the time but I highly recommend it, see it if you can. Then we went to the members only lounge snacked on nibbles and drank a bottle of rose.
On Saturday we went to the noisiest bar with the most interesting drinks in Angel… Tequila mojito’s, Procesco & fresh blueberry cocktails…. For Carla’s friend Elle’s birthday.
Sunday I worked and then Carla and I met in Chelsea & went to a Retro, Vintage, Antique clothing, hats, accessories, shoes jewelry, textile etc. sale. My piece of heaven.
It was amazing, the most fantastic and expensive clothing sale I have ever been too…
I have been working (since Friday Aug 31st) at the dance company I was at in July… I will likely work the rest of this week and hopefully some or all of the following week…
I am still trying to find work in the movie industry, applying to volunteer positions and attempting to write my most excellent cover letter that will convince all the designers I am the girl for her/him. Where am I living? I am living with Carla basically until my room becomes available at the end of the month. Her roommates have been incredibly kind and don’t seem to mind as long as I continue to bake ginger cookies (I finally found where to buy candied ginger & vegan butter!), carrot cake and whatever else I can come up with ~ vegan brownies are certainly next on the hit list…
The only thing missing from my life at the moment is all of you… my friends and family who are so much a part of my daily existence… know that despite the distance and often lack of contact I think of you often xox
Oh & more pics to look at…
