So much to tell from the last few days...um, let's start with Sarah, that's Sarah Lee, ace guardian photographer, first shopgirl now friend....came down the other day with customary Maison Bertaux eclair, which, i might add she always shares with me!! I know eclairs and i get the feeling Sarah's seen a few too, and we're both agreed that this is London's No 1 most wonderful eclair - they have to be tasted to be believed! So first of all this is my portrait of Sarah with eclair, but i love how it looks like she's eating 2 at once! Must be a perspective thing.....
But then we decided to do an impromptu shoot in the dressing room , we had such a giggle, it's such a small space and Sarah was trying to squeeze herself in but not be seen in the mirror, and i was very pleased i touched up the red lipstick when i saw how close-up the shots were! I absolutely LOVE the pictures, love how the dressing room looks kinda spooky and i look deranged....but in a good way!
There's another couple on my flickr....don't want to put too many photos of myself on here...you might think me self-obsessed.........moi?
I was telling you about the Obey delivery we were anticipating with great excitement and it finally arrived on Friday....in fact the Obey boys were wonderful well above and beyond the call of duty as following our All About Eve Babitz gig on Thursday night i still had the drums stashed in Maison B, although you can hardly "stash" a drumkit....anyway simon staggered down the stairs with our delivery and i ended up hijacking their deliveries for a detour to Tin Pan Alley on Denmark St to deliver the drums back to Steve. Thank you thankyou thankyou!!!!! Emma and I started pulling tshirts and hoodies out of the box on my return, and we decided to shoot a couple so you can see how AMAZING they are - and Saturday they already started flying out of the shop, so get 'em while they're HOT!!!!!
Saturday was also a great day, we have a new Saturday girl, Lisa, who's a florist by trade but with the flair of a would-be fashion-designer, we had fun and i showed her the ropes, we thought the day went pretty well, so here's Lisa at the end of her very first day as Shopgirl:
And I also had a visit from Michael H.Shamberg, an old friend of mine...we used to chat about music and stuff in the old days of Shop and i hadn't seen him for years til he popped by the other day, can't wait to learn more about his "Turtle" art project, and fill in the gaps since we saw each other, he bought his ladyfriend a pink tweed Obey cap and left me with some reading matter on "Turtle" to peruse....
Then finally Sacha from Hyde SK popped by with some FIERCE new bags, i'll take some pics of them individually, but this is Sacha as she plonked them all down in front of me, sporting her Eley Kishimoto leopard print mac she bought at Maison B last week, she was enjoying my ipod selection as it seemed to sense her presence and played loads of Eagles of Death Metal...I hadn't seen her since i walked into the showroom in Paris a couple of weeks ago and she was boinging across the floor on a pogostick!!!!
Phew! Pippa xxxxx
