Pablo Picasso (1967)

I had brunch at the Sothebys auction house in New Bond Street and was very lucky to have been able to see a preview for the collection of their Contemporary Art Evening pieces, which will be exhibited later on this month. I wish I had taken my G12 camera out with me but I suppose mobile photography proves to be better than I thought.

 Warm Blini with Smoked Salmon and Creme Fraiche

 Summer Pudding with Clotted Cream

 Abstraktes Bild (1991)- Gerhard Richter

 Jean-Michel Basquiat's Untitled and Harlem Paper Side by Side

 Untitled (1981)

This engaging and combative warrior-figure painting is such an amazing Basquiat piece! An interesting artist who addresses concerns of race, identity and mortality through art. He started off as a graffiti artist in the late 1970's in New York City.

 Muletero (1990)  

Corrida or bullfight, recognised to be Miquel Barceló's most important series. He shows the mysticism and importance surrounding the spectacle of man battling with nature. Powerful and dramatic. These photos does not do the painting justice!

Where shall I begin? Well, I had a hot date with Joey, the war horse, at The New London Theatre last night. I have never thought in my life that such a thing like a giant life-sized horse puppet can own the ability to captivate an audience in such an intimate way. War Horse obviously proved me wrong! The War Horse is a thrilling and spectacular production based on the celebrated children's adventure novel by Michael Morpurgo and adapted by Nick Stafford. This sold-out award winning West End show has even inspired mega producer/director/screenwriter, Steven Spielberg, to make a War Horse Movie. The story of War Horse is based on the relationship of a horse name Joey and a boy name Albert. Joey is sold to the British cavalry and shipped to France in the outbreak of World War One, which led to Albert's distraught and his search for his beloved horse. 

The most astonishing factor of the show is the puppets. The wooden and metal built horses, moved fluidly around the stage with such perfection in its' gestures. Each horse is controlled and maneuvered by three puppet masters who would simultaneously and without flaw work with one another. They would also manipulate his or her voice to mimic horse sounds in order to give the audience a truly believable and stunning performance. I take my hat off to South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company who did a magnificent job in bringing magic. The magic of breathing, galloping, charging horses to life on the stage. The automated movement of the horse's ears is my personal favorite! I can only imagine the amount of strenuous and repetitive practice the puppeteers must have gone through prior the opening of the show. It is ventriloquism in another level! Watching War Horse was such an amazing, cry-worthy, exquisitely beautiful and exhilarating experience. A definite must see!

Electric blue can be strong and steadfast, light and friendly. Just like my super hip stylishly awesome Mama walking around London town with her sleek suede electric blue flats.

Oh Betty Betty Betty! For those of you who is unfamiliar with Betty Davis, you must get to know her. Davis wrote and produced all of her own songs in her 1973 self entitled album Betty Davis. She married Miles Davis in 1968 and introduced Miles to Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone. Having influenced artists such as Missy Elliot, Macy Gray and Kelis, Davis telegraphed an ostentatious eroticism years ahead of its time with her ferocious energy, thigh high moon boots and brazenly belting out lyrics about her sexual prowess. Promising to rough you up, seduce you and leave you pleading with more. I'm listening to her 'Anti Love Song' number as I am picking out outfits and looks for tomorrow's shoot. Clara Magazine have asked to profile me for their 'to dress like' article. Betty Betty Betty... you're putting me in a rebellious mood. Hahaha!
