John Lewis Christmas Advert 2018 – ‘The Boy and the Piano’
Christmas is just around the corner! And you know what that means? Yep, it’s the season for Christmas Adverts to start dominating television once more. So of course, there’s one brand on everybody’s mind as the holiday season rolls around – John Lewis. The John Lewis team have spent the past few years being one of the big staples of the British Christmas tradition. We all gather around the log fire (well, iPhone screen) and we pop on the video and watch with glee. And they’re all pretty good. Well… Apart from #MozTheMonster from last year – that advert was a bit shite, but I won’t get into that. John…

Aquaria ‘The Winners Tour’ @ Tunnel, Leeds
On Monday night I ventured down to Tunnel to see the RuPaul’s Drag Race season 10 winner Aquaria live in Leeds. I wasn’t working today so I thought it would be a bit of a spontaneous adventure. I quickly hopped in the shower, got dressed and headed into town just before the show started. Now, I’m sure a lot of you are aware of the ‘dress code’ scandal that happened 2 days ago where Aquaria went off on a huge tirade about a bouncer not letting her into Heaven in Liverpool for wearing tracksuit bottoms. I understand the bouncer’s reasonings and I can see why she was annoyed. But rather…

RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars 4 – Meet The Queens
Thank the gay gods in heaven above, RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars 4 is coming just in time for Christmas! There has been much speculation, debate and intrigue as to who the next group of All Stars queens would be to grace our screens once more. But I can now confirm which queens we shall be enjoying this season (and we don’t have long to see them in action). Best of all, the season will be starting on the 14th of December! Now, I don’t want to get my hopes up too much – as a Drag Race fan, that sounds quite shitty, I know, but All Stars 3 really…

We only have just under one week left to wait for the Moschino x H&M collaboration to hit the stores!

“Thou Shalt Spend” – Halloween 2018 as Ashley Tisdale circa 2004
I’m currently laid in bed as I write this blog post, I’m ever-so-slightly hanging out of my arse despite getting a full English breakfast at Wetherspoons. However, last night was a rather fun night. Why? Well, because it was our Halloween night out of course! And I have to say, it has left me feeling a little bit tender today. As you know, I do love my fancy dress and this year would be no exception to the rule, but what would I go as? This was something I pondered over for quite some time. Last year I went out dressed as circa 2004 Michael Jackon and I was pretty…

Mini Golf @ Roxy Ballroom, Leeds
Time for a little review, last night I had the pleasure of being invited to play a game of mini golf at Roxy Ballroom on Boar Lane, Leeds. Of course, this was just a short walk from my office in town so I thought why not. It’s not like I was putting myself out there too much! Shit puns over, on to the review! I was invited by the Pink Gorilla Promotions team in Leeds to come and have a swing (sorry) at the new indoor mini-golf course. Naturally, I said yes, I mean, why not… It’s been a while since I played and I thought it could be a…

Jinkx Monsoon Is Cursed: Leeds
For those of you who know me, you will know I am a fond lover of the art of drag. As a child, I was fascinated by Dame Edna Everage and as I got a bit older, Lily Savage’s dirty jokes grew on. But back then, drag was still somewhat taboo, it was fun to watch, but nobody wanted to actually ‘befriend’ a drag queen, they were strange men who dressed up as women for fun – and for a lot of people, they believed it was for some form of sexual gratification. However, drag has had a massive change, it’s not cool, drag is now a lifestyle. Drag queens…

Light Night Leeds 2019
Last week I decided to venture out and explore my city in the dark, sounds ominous, but this is no Jack the Ripper blog post. It was Light Night Leeds 2018 and they certainly upped their game from last year! Thankfully, I knew where most of the locations for the artwork was this year which certainly helped. For those of you who don’t know, Light Night Leeds is a mini art festival of light-based sculptures, digital art pieces and videography. It’s a really nice event that lets you explore parts of the city centre that you might not often venture to in order to see some pretty light displays at…

Karl Sells Chanel On The Seashore And Chanel Karl Sells Is SS19 I’m Sure
Not for a very long time has a show gripped me so much that I felt obliged to write about it. I’m serious! Yes, Chanel does have the budget of dreams, but you can see why the brand has the money it does after seeing their beautiful presentations – and this one is a whole new level of phenomenal. Chanel is known for their spectacular catwalk presentations and their Spring/Summer 2019 show completely changed the way a fashion show is presented. They built a beach inside Paris’ Grand Palais – a beach! Chanel is known for their spectacular catwalk sets and this, of course, is no different. But the luxury…

Harry Styles for Gucci Cruise 2019 – Farmyard Animals Welcome
If Harry Styles holding a chicken in a St Albans chippy wasn’t enough for you, fear not. Harry’s back again with a whole load more farmyard animals. Why? Gucci teamed up again with Harry Styles and photographer Glen Luchford to snap the Gucci Cruise 2019 tailoring campaign. For those who know me, you’ll know Harold has a place in my heart – I love his fashion decisions but I do very much miss the long hair. But I’m not here to discuss life choices, I’m here to talk about Gucci. As I said earlier, Styles previously starred in Gucci’s AW18 tailoring campaign and now he’s back again for the Cruise collection. Let’s…
