PAT BUTCHERED

WHY I'M FRIGHTENED OF HAIRDRESSERS
1. The talking to distract thing makes me suspicious
(chat chat chat next thing you know...bald)
2. They never do what you want
3. arghhh....
i can't take it, i'm gonna cry if i relive the trauma now and i have a hair appointment to get to. so i shall expand on this later

COME ON AND THROW THE DOG A BONE
In times of crisis like this we all need a power tune and for such a grave situation I summon the powers of the great MEATLOAF
combined with the frightening might of Cher and her hi-leg costumes
suddenly everything seems do-able
so excuse me while i pump myself up for the big chop (i haven't had a proper haircut in 10 years... I'm frightened of hairdressers!)
here goes nothing...

WHY MY EARS WILL REMAIN INTACT
1. I've just spoken to Errol's salon and rescheduled
2. who cares about a lost shoe when you're getting your hair did
ah... the world is at right again

WHY I WANT TO STAPLE MY OWN EARS TO THE GROUND
1. I've just woken up and I've only missed an appointment with one of the UK's top hairdressers, Mr Errol Douglas himself!
2. I didn't even get a good night's sleep on my new tiger print sheets
3. I can't find the other leg to this (shoe)
4. I want to screaaaaaaaaaaaaam

STUCK ON REPEAT
there are two songs that have been stuck on repeat in my house for the past 2 weeks, one is actually called stuck on repeat and the other isn't.
here they are
little boots - stuck on repeat (acoustic pyjamas version)
go on her myspace to hear the proper version that i've been playing NONSTOP in my house. my good friend jean charles de castelbajac (an EXCEPTIONAL fashion designer and legendary too while we're on the subject) loves it as well so check him out while you're at it (he's got a london flagship store opening on 5th june!!!).

- - - - - - - - - -
and the second is by a young man by the name of kenna from the startrak camp (the neptunes' label so you know he's from good stock)
as much as it pains me to say this (for i hate the word so very much and typing alone makes me want to punch myself in the face) the song is undeniably 'funky', dare i say groovy even. whatever. who cares about semantics when a song's this good?
saw him at my absolute FAVOURITE london club YOYO a few months ago and he was electric

LISTSSSSSSS.....
i'm always getting locked out - me and keys just don't get along, much like my relationship with phones - so i spent the best part of this weekend hoboing it around and one of the things i realised, other than the fact that i LOVE being a hobo, was that i LOVE making lists. after hours of milling around islington willing my keys would fall from the sky or that some heron would fly down with them in it's beak i decided to compensate for my misfortune by indulging one of my most ridiculous whims. stationary.
i am OBSESSED with stationary, the thickness of a nib, the consistency of ink and indeed the density of paper are always the foremost concerns in my whimsical mind. thus, i went to cass art and bought myself a new notebook and a new set of stabilo pens. as well as discovering that i am rather partial to pen 88s (having previously been evangelical about the fact i only use the thicker nibbed pen 68s) i also discovered just how much i love making lists.
over the course of the weekend i whittled away many an hour writing list after list, racking up a grand total of over 30 pages of capricious columns! just think how many preposterous thoughts were swimming around until that fateful day i bought my mnemosyne note book and set them free (36 pages to be precise)... what a release! i think i shall only blog in list format from now on, such is my love for a list.
so to kick things off here is my inaugural list, whilst live on air on Diesel umusic radio with the metros and the 1965 posse (our 3rd and final show), about 10 things i love about tuesday 27th may (start off with the mundane... it can only get more exciting)
1. that i filmed the 197th and final freshly squeezed (channel 4 breakfast show) with grimmy today
2. that grimmy's hair is blonde
3. that my new favourite nail colour (neon orange) co-ordiates perfectly with my new favourite lip colour morange (by mac)
4. menthols with mitzi (the best make-up artist ever, and also the tiniest too - she's 4ft 11!)
5. the caramel toast i had for breakfast this morning from borough market (thanks georgie)
6. the metro's new jungle inspired tune
7. raf daddy's smily face and sick selection (tuuuuuuyyuuuuunes for daaays)
8. the lovely diesel people refuelling me with sausage and mash with a shoal of peas swimming in a sea of gravy.
9. drinking magners on the amersham arms rooftop
10. seeing my lovely nephew ezra's face everytime i look at my phone
aaaaah i love life! we'll still be on air until 7pm tonight so tune in and list me your favourite things too.
big love
