The Most Bizarre Home Remedies
Currently I have this massive blind pimple on my forehead that could rival any set of antlers on a prime young stag. Ofcourse this is the week I have work experience with a nice little editorial name and an interview gig at the weekend. So no better time for acne to make an unwanted appearance…

Raves: Are They More About The Visuals Than The Music?
Step over the threshold of any sketchy dilapidated warehouse these days and you find yourself either having the time of your life, or fighting for it.

Poem: Brixton
Street stalls stand tall, As the merchants make convo with strangers. Fresh flowers flush the air, Their sweet notes still linger. Food – of all shapes and sizes, A feast for my very eyes. Offering food for thought as to what Else comes from such places of mystery and surprise. The faces are…

Poem – My Red Mustang
