Ballroom Blitz

What a great party theme! A 1940's Blitz Ballroom party, in aid of V Involved - a charity encouraging youth volunteer projects.
I'm a fan of that era's look anyway, and with a cool line-up of bands, including one of my current favourites The Enemy, it almost didn't feel like work. Almost.

St. George's Day

Why is it this country is almost embarrassed to be patriotic? This picture was of a stunt by Umbro to hang their England football shirts out in Carnaby Street as bunting for St. George's day.
When I checked the next day's papers (on St. George's Day) I was amazed by the almost total lack of coverage for what is supposed to be our National day. Personally I'm in favour of any excuse for a celebration, so feel sad for our country that it's an opportunity missed. Come on England, let's celebrate St. George's day - maybe then I'll get a picture used...

Tony Curtis

Tony Curtis was in town to promote his paintings.
He's still got the humour, charm and an eye for the ladies.
And, yes, he did shag Marilyn while filming 'Some Like It Hot'.
Hats off to you, Tony.
