February 4th: London catches up to my hometown. Finally.

"Try not to kill people"

As with most people of a certain age, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was (IS!) a huge deal to me on so many levels, and after discovering this awesome Tumblr called Buffy Outfits I suddenly remembered how much style inspiration my teenage self got from this amazing series. It should come as no surprise that the character I wanted to dress like the most was Willow Rosenberg.
Since I no longer live in the late 90s and now have the magical ability to screencap (oh god remember VHS? remember it? I still have all my favourite episodes on video tape. Thank you BBC.) I can think of no better use of my time than writing a post dedicated my most coveted Willow ensembles.

Let's start with my absolute favourite:

You wish you looked this good after waking up next to a dead body

Winter Solstice

Miniature Merry-go-round

Holiday window displays are serious business in London.

One year later: another Koko post. I sat on my coat this time.

Because I haven't done a music post in a while:

Wednesday I got a last minute pass to photograph Lucky 13 - Memphis Industries' 13th birthday celebration at Koko (read: I wanted to see the Go! Team for free, signed up in June and totally forgot about it afterwards). It was -really- tiring to shoot as there were four bands playing that night and I am lazy. And old. And deprived of sleep (I am typing this at 3 in the morning, I am my own worst enemy).

Luckily all four bands were absolutely wonderful and pretty good bands to shoot, especially The Go! Team - great energy, and such an amazing frontwoman! I was kind of bummed afterwards because I don't think I did as well as usual photo-wise but again...maybe I should consider moving my bedtime to a more reasonable hour so I can be all wide eyed and bushy tailed for the next gig. Maybe that'll happen. Some day. 

So yeah, since I'm a photog..rer..rerer, not a writer, I'll just leave you with some of my shots from the evening!
