COINCIDENTALLY PARIS!
I haven't shown my face on the Maison B blog for a loooon time. So here is a report from me [but let's rewind backwards] with all the news I got to bring.
Last weekend, I was in Paris and as a happy co-incidence, so were Max and Pippa buying for the A.P.C. collection! So it was omlettes and Rosé all round. Pippa and I were DV camera's all up in each others faces cause we are in the middle of making another video for Madame. But here is the real co-incidence: of all the shops in Paris and all the things we could buy - Pippa and I both had gone past the same shop at different times and ogled the same jewellery. Only I was the only one who bought it. Pippa was too gutted for words. I let her have a little turn of them in the A.P.C. showroom. But not too long.
We were also on a mission to find Fifi Chachnil. It isn't on Rue de Chambon any more. And the number isn't the one listed in the Time Out guide. On a MISSION I actually stopped a family with a young grumpy looking baby and a father with bored death eyes to get the mother to listen to the new number on the phone for the new shop and write it down for us... It was worth it! 40% off in Fifi Chachnil!!
Okay and so the week before that, my friends Jacob [from Paperrad] and David were in town with their band Extreme Animals. They are touring round Europe. The first gig was at the Old Blue Last where DJ Brain and Silverlink asked Cassette Playa and I to have a booty dance off challenge. I won. Don't cry Cassette Playa. You can share my glory.
Hmmm... The week before that, it was my friend Thugly's birthday. Thugly is one of the 7 Year Glitch crew. He had cocktails at the Hilton. Here is a pic of internet thug and epicenter of the UK grime scene, Prancehall, ordering off menu and getting one of the most fabulous strawberry daquaris I've seen.
But at risk of being thrown in the Big Brother diary room - maybe that drink is a bit gay? Look at his pinky finger.
The coolest thing that has happened though is Paul B. Davis had his exhibition at Seventeen gallery on Kingsland Road for the last month. It was a lot of new media, computer and video art. Here is a picture of the video Paul made in collaboration with Jacob Ciocci which is in essence two YouTube videos mixed together not using a video editing software, but actually editing the source at code [like all the 000's and 111's and 101's etc] to 'beatmatch' musically and visually Rhiannas "Umbrella" and The Cranberries "Zombie".
It was really cool - the audio mixed perfectly while the visuals were faces of the two different artist morphing into the other in a sea of pixels and distortion.
Okay - so enough from me, I got to get editing video from Paris! Nice talking to you all again!
