Ever wondered if you had a hidden talent…I am still convinced my dormant telekinesis abilities will blossom any second now. American Express teams up with Channel 4 to launch new series Hidden Talent which airs it first episode this Tuesday 24th @ 9pm on Channel 4. I was invited down to take part in a few challenges and test my hidden talent theory, check out the video on the reverse.

I was fortunate to catch up with the good folk at STööKI ahead of their pop-up store today in Boxpark Shoreditch. My first encounter with the three creatives was during their takeover at the Tate Modern with their interactive art installation in collaboration with the Louis Vuitton art’s project. They spoke to Y&Y about their new collection on the reverse.

As soon as we alighted at Limehouse station, I was happy I made my way through typical London weather to take Bangs up on her invitation to the FutureCinema production of Bugsy Malone. FutureCinema bridge the gap between theatre and cinema. Intelligently breaking down the fourth wall normally dislocating cinemagoers from totally immersing themselves in movie before them. Future Cinema aim to explore an entire interaction, which allows you to see your favorite musical in a whole new light. Literally.

As soon as my gang was greeted by the friendly (and cute!) men at customs in Berlin, we knew the city would be all kinds of hash tag winning. The weather was crisp but our attitudes were warm. We were about to make history and no freezing temperatures were going to spoil our plans. We were in town to run the Berlin Half Marathon. Well they were. Due to an injury, I had to head up the cheer squad. After putting my runners ego on the naughty step, I got on with being the best RDC mascot in town! 200 runners from crews all over the world descended on the city and made sure they repped for their hometowns.

Last night Sorapol Chawaphatnakul, former LCF student, showcased his AW12 Collection ‘Iron Grip’ and we were invited to cover the launch by the lovely folks at BLOW PR. The well suited venue for the show was the ‘Old Vic Tunnels’ a series of underground tunnels beneath Waterloo Station which was also used as an underground cinema to screen the UK premiere of Banksy’s film ‘Exit through the Gift Shop’. The decent through the tunnel’s arched ceilings completely covered in graffiti (or as I like to term Street Art) combined with the eerie shadows cast by the spotlights meant myself and the crowd of guests at the drink reception including Boy George, Maxi Jazz and Christian Jessen were buzzing to see the collection…We were not disappointed.

22 tracks has been around for a whole minute now. The Dutch-based music curation website was brought to my attention a few years back by @oi_nico. I didn’t really pay much attention to it since I had bookmarked many music blogs at the time that checked on a daily basis. Who knew the site would blow? It’s now multinational with curators from cities all around Europe and now it’s coming to our glorious city. What better way to get things started than with an event with some of London’s best curators? Including artists, DJs, producers and even our friends over at Pinboard, more on the reverse.
