The Adventures of Me Me - My Life with Fashion and Words

Update


(but I'm still sketching)


This is what it looks like: my only comfort from my viral defeat...a couch, duvet, magazine and my sketchings. I'm hoping to use a couple as my tee shirt giveaway (send your emails info@mercime.co.uk to receive further info). The rest i'm rotating: Scrubs, FashionTV, the world wide web and my phone. In fact I'd much rather leave the phone out since my mouth is the only thing I can breathe in & out from and talking effectively means I'm slowly suffocating myself. I'm on Benylin Cold & Flu (Max strength capsules) but the damn thing seems not to work. Blast! In fact I hate being sick when the sun is alive and well...and shining those few hours longer. Double blast!! My stomach is filled with the air I keep sucking in from my snotty nose so I feel hungry all the time and when I attempt to breathe through my nostrils I feels whips of stings and my eyes start tearing. Sneezing now hurts my throat but I detest it when I feel like sneezing but nothing comes. I'm eating a bananna, drinking hot water, left sketching for research and I've dodgily painted my nails pink (see below).

and decided that these are the colours my nails will wear for the next couple of months:

And that dear gentle people is my update...I have so much more to say but I'm afraid I can no longer go on. Au reviour for now.

Deacon Does Crusaid

     

Who: Giles Deacon (among other celebrities)
What: Crusaid's World AIDS Day Campaign: Think. Talk. Act. Give!
When: NOW

It seems fashions upward mobile designer hearts a good cause, in particular, Crusaid's World AIDS day campaign; Think. Talk. Act. Give! that launched on Friday. He has so generously used his mascot Eek for the tee shirt. The infamous Eek made his debut in Deacons Autumn/Winter '07 Collection and has remained in his collection since. Cilit Bang could not remove him.

In true creativity, Deacon has furthered his charitable commitment by styling his Japanese inspired character in spiked studs, which, as a matter of fact sweetie is a clever and abstract reference to protection. Oh Bon! Je l'aime...scrupulous fashion indeed.

This exclusive Giles Deacon Eek tee is available at www.thinktalkactgive.org for £30 and all the proceeds go to the charitable work of Crusaid...supporting poor marginalised people and communities (in the UK and internationally) affected by HIV and AIDS.

But wait, let's not forget that Crusaid own a charity shop that has made it in Timeouts London's Best Charity Shops list AND has been Mary (Queen of Shops) Portas approved. 'You might just find something incredible' she says. It's no wonder they have an exclusive conscious designer tee shirt.

I say...'Support the cause and look great doing it!'
