Whirligig Friday

Winter Craft Fayre (also my birthday). Free mulled wine. Sparkle Party. Getting my face painted by Nina, which I was wholly loath to take off when I got home. Belly dancers dancing to Marilyn Manson (bwuh? but kind of awesome). Clothes swap. Lush Cosmetic workshop. Buy Nothing Day at the Art House with lots of tea & cake for non-fixed prices. Accused (maybe the BBC will recover its old brilliance?). Christmas markets. Hepwright’s Vintage. The snow is so pretty + I have a lovely hot water bottle = perfection.

The V&A has a lovely things to do list.

Fashion is not a matter of gender.

A 1984 video about Ffestiniog Railway. I don’t know why I find it so endearing.

Indian gay pride parade draws thousands.

MAC AIDS Fund.

These are seriously pretty pencils.

The Onion’s horoscopes for the week of 30 November.

Karl Lagerfeld’s mythology themed Pirelli Calendar 2011.

There’s also an interview with Riki Wilchins on MetroWeekly. She’s fabulous & exciting. Activism gets me like that. And she has a slightly neglected blog.

Sarah Palin’s brand of “feminism” more popular with men than women.

Sages/Scientists at the Chopra Foundation.

Perle’s high energy performances have to be seen to be believed. Described by some as the reincarnation of her heroine, Josephine Baker; Perle dances with strength, confidence and breathtaking gymnastic agility.
