Things for the weekend.

This weekend I shall be attending two very exciting events.

Tonight:

ACOFI-inviteThis event, at 123 Bethnal Green Road, will celebrate the launch of Amelia Gregory‘s Compendium of Fashion Illustration. I am particularly excited about the goodie bags as they look utterly splendid (let’s face it who doesn’t love  good tote?) I can’t wait to blog about this one, but in the meantime I must find something to wear…

Sunday:

Brighton Tattoo ConventionThe fourth annual tattoo convention in Brighton.
I attended the convention last year – I was a virgin convention goer back then – and I am a little more excited than apprehensive this time round. Some of the photos from last year are here, I will endeavor to get lots more photos, inspiration and artist info for you. As ever my trusty photographer Looby will be accompanying me, are you ready for this Loobs?

See you at the after party?

Extremely excited about both for very different reasons. Once the weekend has passed expect blogging, pictures and beauty of wondrous contrast.

Mac for life.

This lady should get a lifetime supply of Mac lipstick for this kind of brand dedication. I love her style, I am a Mac girl at heart too.

Any other Th’inkers got cool branded ink?

Rooney Mara for W magazine.

This is so good it makes my eyes hurt.

Who’d have thought this girl dumped Mark Zuckerberg?

The actress from The Social Network is now to star in David Fincher’s film adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Rooney Mara in character as Salander—an androgynous, bisexual computer hacker with multiple piercings and a distinctive tattoo on her back— is too hot for words in this dirty, dark photo shoot. According to W magazine, to prepare for the role of the computer hacker Salander, Mara had her eyebrows bleached, her hair chopped, and her lip, brow, nose, and nipple pierced — all in one ‘intense’ day.
