Dungeons, pandas and accidental spliff
Last night I went to London Bridge to attend the Launch of Panda Studio, where my lovely friend Z was exhibiting a couple of pieces. On the way there I randomly ran into my old work mate, Nat, whose company was having a party in the London Dungeon. How cool is that? I vote for our next work party being in a dungeon!
It was a good thing Z, gave me such good directions since the venue was cryptically called Arch 897 and turned out to be an old warehouse behind a non-descript black door. Everyone was very arty and you could clearly pick out the models and the photographers admiring (and in some cases snogging) each other. I was glad I had gone for an OTT outfit and was wearing my Hawaiian print leggings. Z, I have to say, had the most fabulous strapless dress on. She and I proceeded to get shmangled on white wine spritzers, while admiring the photography, some of the bands who were playing and the occasional photographer.
Z’s pieces were beautiful and I particularly liked one where she had these bubbles that were halfway between eyes and peacock pattern. Hopefully Z won’t mind me putting up this little snippet of work I stole off her blog…
At 11.30 I had to go… since I have to be out of here at 9.45 today. I decided to be lazy and catch the bus from Clapham Junction since my heels were starting to get to me. Not quite sure how but I ended up chatting to two gorgeous boys who had glitter all around their mouths. It turned out one of them had snogged a girl with glitter on her face.. and then they’d snogged each other. Brilliant! One of them then handed me his cigarette… and since I was dying for a fag and had smoked all mine, I took it. I marvel at my own almost impossible naiveté here… especially since I had remarked earlier that could smell weed. I genuinely believed it was a roly… They made some attempts to get me to catch their bus, which takes me sort of close to home but nowhere near as close as my bus so we parted company with massive hugs and they disappeared into the night…
Today I am off to Newquay with Rob, Dom, Lucy, Sanna, Saoirse and Emily for a week. I have decided not to take Frank along, so that I won’t do any work… including blogging. I might work on Edgar, the dragon slayer longhand but that doesn’t even count as work cos it’s so much fun… so see you in a week campers and don’t miss me tooooo much.
