The Wrath of London Transport

As many who dwell in London, they either suffered the same as me or were lucky enough to have the ability to work from home, but most Londoners Suffered the Wrath of The London Underground!

I know a long of people have been complaining about it today on FB statuses, Twitters and Newspapers and of course the bloggers

Many 1000s of people had to seek alternatives of getting in, bus, trains, boats, cars etc. I wish I was lucky enough to work from home; unfortunately I don’t have Citrix, boss wanted everyone to get into the office and my line of work as a garment tech, I need to measure the samples before they get sent to the customers – and the samples from the factories, of course get delivered into the office  -.-“

I had to mission on the Northern Line – wasn’t too bad until I hit Bank. It was rammed. I couldn’t change as the path to the other station was closed. Along the platform so many people wanted to take DLR of course to Canary Wharf, I was literally walking on the very edge of the platform making my way to the exit. I’m glad I’m not claustrophobic and if health and safety saw the amount of people through the tunnels making their way out, I’m sure they would have a heart attack

Even the bus from Monument to Whitechapel was long. Total journey to work 2hours! >.<”

It’s handy to know someone who works for TFL, was my personal TFL journey planner XD esp for my journey home! 

21st Century Style of Religion

Sundays - the day of rest, day before back to office, family day; however you make your Sundays. I decided to join my friends to check out this event happening in the Apollo Theatre in Victoria, where they show the musical “Wicked”. Peggy was telling me that this is going to be an opera. I thought, why not give it a try as she said in her message it was called “Jesus the Rock Opera”

So as we went into the theatre, I couldn’t believe the venue was really packed in the stalls that is as the balcony was closed. I really didn’t know what I got myself to check out-it was actually Church but with a modern twist. They had a band performing on stage, playing and singing Christian rock songs, pretty catchy I must say, the Vicars didn’t look like the typical old man with the Roman collar, two men more modern preachers

Now this Opera, I was so mislead, it was more a musical! But the performances were pretty good, story of Jesus the disciples, Judas, the Romans and the Crucifixion in 60s dressed costume and modern songs Such as their on take of that’s not my name for Peter denying he knew Jesus, and a Jason Maraz cover, there were a few more but I forgot. I have to admit all those who took part in the performance did a really good job.

I can see why my friends attend The Hill Song Church; it’s quite enjoyable, compared to the traditional Church and singing old hymns with the Organ and having the Holy Communion and such, definitely more modern way of preaching.

This doesn’t make me convert; I will admit it was an interesting experience, but I’m not religious and it isn’t really my cup of tea, so this was a one off thing in the exploring for me this year. 

Gig Up in Shoreditch House

ooh I admit being a bit slack in the Blogging for this post, Bank holiday back in the Shires, attempting to regain the Devon Twang completely winds you down, as the pace down hear is slower compared to the big smoke.

So on the Thursday Just gone, my work mate invited me to a spontaneous gig up in Shoreditch House, members only place can be full of celebrities and socialites. Membership annually costing £1000 pretty exclusive!

So anyway were popped down and ventured onto the 4th floor, "Biscuit Tin" room  where the gig was held. It was quite a nice environment very cosy Lounge like intimate place.

First band as we got there seemed not bad, front man/ Lead guitarist was wearing a pair of Leopard Leggings with tail; pretty interesting and different. Next band that came on, no idea who they were but oh my god, they were making some very ear bleed worthy music screechy electro noise, sounding like an out of this world electro collective, being tone deaf and having a session in a garage thinking it's beautiful music. Was happy they got off.

Next band came along called "Full English"quite interesting rap band mix N Dubz-like, now looking and reading about them, definitely have quite a Goldie Looking chain feel to they with the style of music; being catchy and has humour. This bad were pretty entertaining and easy to listen to especially in contrast to the previous band.

After Full English there was a woman all dressed in a red latex suit, pretty hot but not my choice of fabric. She seemed not bad but the music quality was very meh.

Here's a preview Below of what Full English were like, apologies, I don't know how to rotate the video!

Between this my friends & I wanted to hang out on the roof top bar where there was the roof top swimming pool; alas Bouncer said no.... Members only. Oh Well

Finally last but not least the band who we came to support, Johnny Lazer. Two piece band front man with a huge mohawk and Drummer, playing fun optimistic beats in the genre of electro rock,  very feel good music slowly brought the crowd back into the room

Shame I wish I could've stayed longer but had to leave after 3 tracks, last train home called and Night bussing from East to the South West is a mission!

Overall a good spontaneous gig that was free, and I tried out some pretty yummy organic honey ale! ^.^

Styles that may convert me to Leggings

As Some of you may know, I'm an anti leggings person, checked out on McQueen's online shop @ the sale left over, have to say some of the prints are pretty hot. But price tag is still a bit steep. (need to save monies towards Alexa bag)

The Staple garment for the Wardrobe

Ok So during the weekend I stayed around my friend's place over in East London, good old sleepover; we played Game of Life, Classic Board game quicker version of Monopoly and sang our hearts our with the 21st Century game of Sing Star, I'm proud to say the top scores for Lady Gaga's tunes are still doned by me ^.^ hehehe

The next day with as the girls were getting ready as they had a reservation for Marco Piere White's restaurant over in Battersea, Wendy's Brother was also getting ready and deciding what to wear. I thought I could be of assitance as I can stylize. My God, Danny doesn't have a lot in the wardrobe.

As we were deciding together, I suggested he'll need a shirt as the restaurant is high end, so best to dress smart casual; he only owns a smart black shirt from Ted Baker, not bad I have to say but nothing else? I asked him "what tee you thinking of wearing?" He didn't have a lot, majority of his T-shirts were placement prints with a cartoonish design.... I couldn't see any nice plain simple tees. So we sugessted together, the Yellow tee, goes well with the black shirt, adding brightness to something dark and the print can be hidden by buttoning up hiding the print.

Finally we hit the jeans. I asked him what jeans he was going to wear? Danny replied, "ones I'm wearing now." Mid blue slightly fading washed straight leg jeans. "Haven't you got any dark wash jeans?" I suggested, no was the reply. I had a bit of a heart attack.....

Surely like most women, we own that staple garment that's kept in the wardrobe, the LBD (Little Black Dress), Surely for a man, either a classic white shirt, but surely they must own a dark wash pair of jeans!! "WENDY! You need to take your brother shopping!!" Danny only shops during the sales but rarely shops for clothes and a broke student. If only I worked doing menswear as well and Denim, I would definitely donate a pair of dark wash jeans to him.

My days, no offence to you guys, I know some guys can be absolute lousy shoppers, but even the Average Joe (No pun intended for Nudie Jeans styled Denim) should have dark wash denim jeans doesn't even need to be black, stapled in the wardrobe, hand plant to the face....

Cinema Trends

So Summer is slowly fading.... sadness, we are still out and about, well thouse who have Summer holiday >.<" Lunchtime blogging the only time I can actually blog!

I have noticed this Summer's trend is the Big Screen that is the Cinema. Don't get what I mean, let me Explain:-

The cinema has been such an enjoyable day out, back in the days of the late 1800s people dressed up for the occasion. Bring on the 21st Century, film makers are making that cinema experience more enjoyable with the technology of 3D


Not only cinema experience, but even other novelties of going to the cinema

The beginning of the Summer there was the Urban Starlite Drive Through Cinema Novelty weekend which happened over in East London's Truman Brewery, Large cinema projections dipslayed all around, in parks pubs etc. Somerset House has been one I wanted to go experience, alas I forgot. There are just so many things to do in London you either, have not got the time to fit it or the funding situation! Not to mention the Secret Cinema, where they have the event somewhere spontaneous from a rooftop of a buildin to a farm

http://www.secretcinema.org/ if you fancy regestering and giving it a bash!

This time with the Cinema theme, the Beginning of September for a few week, over in East London's Deptford has a project going through 3 weekends of a Silent Cinema. All kinds of classic films displayed, everyone wearing headphones should be pretty interesting.

If you guys are interested the experience will set you back £10 a ticket, check out the listings ^.^

Something Noticed

One of my chilling out evenings and browsing on youtube, very inspired by the K pop music videos as I admit, these Koreans are shit hot dancers; however there is a major trend which is eww and WTF a they seem to do it at least once in a music video. This thing is touching their lips!!

Seriously they seem to do it A LOT! I was actually Mow liw enough to clock on and snap the evidence:-

Exhibit 1, Super Junior "Sorry Sorry"

I have funny memories of this song as friends rein-act the dance moves, I snapped on this touch lips things that goes on:-

 There's possibly more, but I didn't catch on to it...

Exhibit 2, U Kiss "Bingeul Bingeul"

I've never really heard of this K pop boy band, but like any other, pretty boys who are pretty shit hot at dancing. I clocked in this video, they did the touching their lips movement twice, this song is up tempo and dance moves were really quick and busy!

Exhibit 3, Shinee's MV "Ring Ding Dong"

They're amazing dancers thanks to Roger, it's his assigned ringtone on my phone, they touch their lips quite a ridiculous amount in this MV!!!

I'm sure there are plenty more MV's where these boybands do this movement. After clocking on and realising they do this, I now can't help keeping the eagle eye of seeing it, my experience in seeing these videos has kind of been ruined!!! Sadness but hahaha!!
