Call me a Cow, and BRAND ME!

Hey guys: you missed me. No, of course not. No worries. I will not be silenced: I'm here to talk about an insightful three part documentary called *drumroll please* 'Secrets of the Superbrands'. If you are interested in Media or marketing or you just want to get a bit of knowledge on how Apple will make you buy the iPhone 5 the day after you bought the precious iPhone 4 (it already sounds old) or how Louis Vuitton covered your eyes and fooled you with sunglasses that are no better or different from D&G (in fact they're made in the same place - SHOCK-BLOODY-HORROR :O) or even how Coca-Cola have duped you into loving every heaven-sent drop of the stuff. A stimulating watch for all! The link is below: ENJOY!

P.S. Make sure you watch it before BBC takes it off iPlayer. :D

Maybe It's Because I'm a Londoner.

I love a bit of London, me. Lol. I have never been out of the UK; the farthest I have ventured is Wales (ever the voyager!) and I am will continue to wallow and bask in my ignorance of any other location other than my sweet LDN!
Have a butcher's hook at what I ADORE about Ye Olde London Town:


Construction That Never Ceases: That's LDN.
Big Red Buses: Trademark.
Us Londoners love a good old shopping trip (let's play Spot The Irony..). We are a Fashion Capital, after all.
The Churchill Arms. Gorgeous Pub, Arrogantly British. We Love It.
We love our chips, we do.
The Late Heath Ledger Etched Into the Pavement in W10 (Londons's a great place to meet A Listers)
Me and my friend with model, Alice Delal, on Portobello Road.
Albert Memorial (1876) in London.
Albert Memorial Statue in Hyde Park
The Historically "Well-Run" Tube: God Love 'Em
My Area
W10















London By Night

Lucky there's a family guy...


I'm not much of a family person, but I am a caring person. It's a maternal type-of-thing (and no, before you wonder, I haven't got any kids, you nosy so-and-so's!) I love my sister and I behave like I am her mother because I care for; it's like she my little baby. Even though she can't express to me her innermost thoughts to her everyday ponderings: I'm sure I'm her favourite...
