    Leonardo Da Vinci: A Life In Drawing @ Leeds Art Gallery

    February 1, 2019

    The 1st of February 2019 marks the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo Da Vinci. Crazy right? He died 500 years ago and yet he’s still known and admired by generations all over the world. To commemorate this monumental anniversary, Leeds Art Gallery has put on a fascinating exhibition of 12 unbelievable illustrations by the Renaissance master himself. I had the pleasure and privilege of attending the Private View of “Leonardo Da Vinci: A Life In Drawing” and I’m so glad I was because the exhibition was phenomenal. To be able to stand so close and really analyse and check every little detail in his sketches. It’s crazy to…

    Victoria Gate Casino’s 2nd Birthday: Drag Queen Bingo

    January 30, 2019

    On Saturday, I had the pleasure and privilege of attending the Victoria Gate Casino’s 2nd birthday as a VIP guest – oooh fancy, I know. And to celebrate their anniversary, the casino decided to bring in the best kind of entertainment around town – drag queens! Yes, we got to enjoy some fabulous entertainment and Drag Queen Bingo. To celebrate their 2nd birthday, the Victoria Gate Casino decided to add a little sparkle and sass to their night with the help of some drag queens and a whole lot of camp comedy. I went alone… because I’m a loner (jokes) but there were a few bloggers in attendance that I…

    New Year New Me – Some Mildly Useful Life Advice For 2019

    January 2, 2019

    Happy New Year folks! Well, 2018 has been a wild ride, I’ve had a lot of ups, I’ve had a few downs but now we’re on to the next chapter. “New Year, New Me” and all that bollocks. I know it sounds cliche to say, but I feel like I’ve learnt a lot this year and I have a lot more things that I hope to accomplish in 2019. But for now, I’m just dicking about with a hangover, remember last night’s fireworks but being too scared to look at them because of Bird Box.

    Our Annual Trip To The Yorkshire Sculpture Park

    November 26, 2018

    Yorkshire Sculpture Parks’ most notorious alcoholic visitors have returned for their annual fiesta! I think our little tradition started maybe 4 years ago for our friend Jamie’s birthday. Each year we manage to take more and more prosecco, wine, cider and snacks because outdoor art should only ever be appreciated while tipsy. Venturing down to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park always feels like a nice little reunion. Our group doesn’t get the chance to see each other very often so it’s nice to come together here. Art is scattered all over the 500-acre land and you’re sure to see a few sheep, ducks and even a few fuzzy cows if you’re…

    Winter Wonderland @ Angelica, Leeds

    November 25, 2018

    The other night I had the pleasure of attending the ‘Winter Wonderland’ event at Angelica on the top floor of the Trinity Leeds shopping centre. For a few years now, Angelica has been one of my favourite hidden drinking spots in Leeds as it’s tucked away quite nicely to those who don’t know of the place’s existence. For those of you who don’t know about Angelica, it’s a beautiful little rooftop bar that makes amazing cocktails with a great view of the Leeds skyline. Anyway, enough reminiscing from me, on with the event! I decided that my partner in crime for the night would be my fellow blogging chum, Elisha Ainsley. Both…

    Being Blocked By Facebook – An Open Letter Of Discontent

    August 1, 2018

    Dear Facebook, please stop deleting, blocking and shaming creatives for trying to express themselves through their art. It seems that now more than ever, people are feeling like they have to abide by some pretty strict, stagnant and shite rules and regulations on various social media platforms. I received a 24-hour ban on my account and I had my blog post removed from Facebook for breaching rules You may remember that the image below was my previous cover photo for the 5th instalment of the ‘Adventures Of A First Time Buyer‘ series. Well, it seems Facebook doesn’t like having fun. Or showing any form of nudity that was allowed on…

    Adventures Of A First Time Buyer – The Unavoidable Summer Standstill

    July 22, 2018

    Unless you’ve been living in a well-ventilated underground bunker without a calendar, you’ve probably realised that we’re in the peak of the summer standstill. As if by some miracle, we Brits have been blessed with some cracking sunshine. Beer gardens are full, people are sweaty and the football has been monumental. This year it seems that most knuckle-dragging turnips have been more focussed on whether or not football will be, in fact, coming home than they have been actually enjoying the weather. If there’s one thing us British folk like, it’s commenting on the weather. But World Cup Fever seemed to have gripped most of us. To be honest, I’ve…

    #StreetStylePolaroids — London Fashion Week Men’s SS19

    June 16, 2018

    Another season is done! I swear each one seems to come around quicker and quicker. This time I was a bit more prepared. I was ready with camera in hand and I brought more packs of film with me for the adventure. I had my trust ‘Taz Cam‘ with me and a hell of a lot of film to accompany. All I needed now was to find some interesting looking people to photograph. The #StreetStylePolaroids are back! Thankfully, London Fashion Week Men’s has an abundance of quirky and colourful characters who are more than happy to stop for a photo (especially when they see that it’s in a Polaroid format). The…

    Goodbye Wardour News – Ripping The Soul Out Of Soho

    April 29, 2018

    For anyone who’s a dedicated follower of fashion, this news will be a bit of a bummer. Wardour News – the fashion magazine Mecca to students and industry professionals alike is sadly closing after 34 years on Wardour Street. This humble newsagent turned publication paradise became a firm favourite to those looking to delve into the printed pages of some of the greatest fashion magazines the world has to offer. Everything from the known additions of Vogue and GQ to the more niche and hard-to-find publications have made their way on to the shelves of Raj Patel’s shop over the years. Raj Patel, the newsagent who favours the fashionable Mr…

    Adventures Of A First Time Buyer – The First Bump In The Road

    April 15, 2018

    So here we are, we’ve only just begun and already I’m stuck. Yep, it was only a matter of time before I find myself getting stressed, regretting everything and curling up into a small ball to cry. But what could have triggered me? I’ll give you a quick run down of the two major factors. 1. The door doesn’t function properly The door has been cracked at the bottom causing it to get stuck when you try and open it. When we viewed the house (twice) it wasn’t like this at all. To make matters worse, the lock now only works from the outside (which I learnt the hard way).…
