Big up the boys

When it comes to following football I'm a bit of a dinosaur, I merry it all along especially when it's world cup time, but to be honest its hard to muster up too many enthusiams especially when England are going to globally embarrass us so much.
I mean I do enjoy watching the fit guys running about the pitch but attention quickly dwindles if I'm in a bar and my eyes wonder across the room to people watch or I just generally distract fraught tense punters whos' next breath relies on the skill of their beloved team.
But I would like to Big up the Boys from wearetheartdept.com for their topical blog showcasing their talents yet again via illustrations of the wonderful sport itself.
Have a butchers ..... http://worldcupglory.tumblr.com/  and enjoy.

Red Dress Couture Ball Charity Fashion show

Just finished a charity fashion show called The Oxford Red Dress Couture ball. This was to help support  H.E.L.P Malawi and 'Teach a man to fish'. These charities are dedicated to helping the lives of children coping with HIV/AIDS in Africa by building schools, medical clinics and providing programs leading to sustainability.
It was held in the beautiful Oxford town hall and had dresses donated from Herve Leger, Issa, Christiane King, Chanel, Vera Wang, John Galliano, Nicole Farhi, Paul Smith and Matthew Williamson to name but a few.
I was really pleased to be asked to do this by James at JN productions as Oxford is my home town.

The Oxford Town Hall before we got our grubby art department hands on it to transform it into a house of fashion.
