What The Butler Saw

I'm pleased to report to all my many foreign readers (err..ok, so I may not have any) that Britain is back to its post-global warming, al fresco, sunglasses and bare skin summertime vibe as of TODAY. All the people still in winter coats looked caught-out by the warm sunshine and were extra grumpy on the tube. The shops were packed with girls desperately searching for sandals not yet in stock. It's going to be a long, hot summer - you can feel it in the air.

In other news, with my friend, I'm starting a writers -artists- musicians etc collective..more on that soon. But in brief, the aim is to recreate in London today the creative buzz of 1970s San Francisco/New York! Together, we can do it. Artists unite!

Speaking of 70s San Fran, Aline Kominsky Crumb's been my inspiration this last week - her husband may have a reputation as not quite a feminist, but Aline's definitely a feminist. Her cartoons are just so honest and real. I absolutely adore them.
