Ponystepping!

Even though I was conscious of having to get up at the crack of a sparrow's fart on Monday morning for my Paris trip to view Spring A.P.C. (of which more next week when I get a chance to edit my movie!), I had the best time djing and then dancing myself dizzy at the Ponystep party on Sunday night!



Richard might've regretted his choice when we realised the decks weren't hooked up, as NO-ONE except me djs with vinyl anymore! Torches were found, leads untangled then hooked up and finally we were motoring! Matthew Stone, Pedro "Busy P" Winter and Hanna Hanra were also djing....In fact Hanra "Hair" Hanra might be more appropriate! Amazing bleach puff going on!




Caught up with lots of old friends....Here's Cybil Rouge and Link Leisure. Now, they won't thank me for telling you this but I've known them close on twenty years!!!! WTF!!!! When I arrived in London from Coventry in the late eighties, one of the places we used to hang out was Freud's on Shaftesbury Avenue. Link was there alot and we became friends and through him I met Matthew Glamorre and his crowd and got asked to take part in a show they were putting on for Easter at Heaven. Cybil was God, perched topless on a huge scaffolding "skirt" which was covered with fabric with an all over multi-vagina design. The centre of each design was split so that Cybil could "give birth" to various club kids....now we get to my part; on either side of the stage were spinning crucifixes with a girl tied to the front and back in full-on crucified position. The only direction we were given was to atttempt to can-can and SMILE!!!! It was a triumph! And was probably the moment when I realised London was definately for me!


Cassia, Lili and I hung out danced a lot, did lots of kissing...


Great to see Gwen, who really could have a party on her own in a paper bag...

What a beautiful, effusive, sparkling lady!!!
And I got myself snapped by Alistair Allan - how does he do it? I've never seen a bad picture of ANYBODY!

Ponystep.com

I trotted along to Sketch last night with Nahid (actually I took the tube and she glided up in a taxi, she's such a lady!), for Richard Mortimer's launch of Ponystep.com. It's his new project after Boombox and is an online magazine which I think goes live at midday today, so be one of the first to log on!! I think I remember him saying that Ponystep comes from either the catwalk style of Honor Fraser or Iris Palmer, they had a very individual lollop.

Anyway there'll be lots of fashion news and more besides and if it's Richard you know it'll be FIERCE! Here is my favourite picture of the night:

I love Nahid, she's so game!!!! We kept pointing out the cracks and flaws in the pod loos, neither of us has been to Sketch for years, I think the last time I went was for the Zoltar launch! But i think the amenities need a little sprucing up...

Bumped into lovely Pam, I'm singing a couple of songs in her "Slinky Salon" at Valbonne on Thursday night, she has the best hair colour of anyone in London....


I've got to run as I've got a power-plates booked and I'm meeting Sarah and Sonja there, we are going to have buns you can bounce pennies off by summer!!!!
