the dangerous type

What do you call people who are cooler than hipsters [think they are]? 

I don't know but its entering dangerous territory.

So you want to be a Journalist/ Writer/ Editor/ Publicist...

This post is dedicated to you (you know who you are!) to inspire you. This is what your life could look like! Let me take you on an imaginary journey through your potential future...

April O'Neil was a reporter from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, possibly the first fictional journalist we were aware of. She was also the only female and totally kicked ass solving crimes and writing stories.

Lois Lane came next, writing her little heart out in to bring Metropolis their Daily News. She was also lucky enough to work with dorky and bespectacled Clark Kent, and was rescued surprisingly often by Super Man himself (for a smart girl she obviously wasn't very observant)

Carrie Bradshaw is the SATC character most like you (with the exception that she writes about love and relationships obviously! Maybe swap that for Miranda Hobbes' sarcastic streak?!?) - is is somewhat messy and a little irresponsible, but loveable and creative. 

This is us taking a break from work/study to people watch and catch up on things, particularly how our philanthropic projects in Cambodia and Africa are going (please note your masculine boots!)

Researching hot topics in the past, present and future!

A good option for your journalistic uniform, when you're on a more professional job!

Stylin' it up old-school (your typewriter is in my wardrobe if you need it)

Getting down to business with more modern appliances.

You and I celebrating at a cool underground party after you finished an amazing piece with great journalistic integrity (well done!), or at a party for an organisation you've been doing PR for.

Another cool outfit you can wear, perhaps on a more casual day.

Last but not least, essential tools of the trade!

Hope you're somewhat inspired xx

Shout-out to Celebrity "Slashies"

Now that Kanye West has brought out a fashion line I'm predicting the continued rise and rise of the celebrity slashie (Actor/ Musician/ Designer/ Model/ Writer/ Etc). Here are a few of my favourites:

Juliette Lewis with her band JULIETTE AND THE LICKS

Zoe Kravitz (Lenny's daughter) with her band ELEVATOR FIGHT
I'm loving this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwwaKufM4WA but I can't find the album :(

The Olsen Twins built an empire on 'Tween' films and expanded to fashion with their lines THE ROW, ELIZABETH AND JAMES, and new T-shirt line, and an book aptly named INSPIRATION.

Kate Moss is a supermodel and mother, has sung with Primal Scream, and has her own perfumes.
