Public Lion: The Pimlico Poisoning

Screen shots of Erin McNulty's 'The Pimlico Poisoning.'

The Pimlico Mystery is an uncomfortable story to read. Ecpecially if you're a woman. Needless to say, it was even more uncomfortable to realise that for this project I will have to impersonate Adelaide Bartlett, who in 1886 is believed to have poisoned her husband with large amount of chloroform.

To my astonishment, working on Erin McNulty's 'The Pimlico Poisoning' was more of a delightful positive experience than an emotional wreck.

I had a chance to discover Southend, get to know some strong and intelligent women, sit in cars that are probably older than I am and work with one, soon to be, very successful and talented filmmaker.

Thank You, Erin.

Sincerely,

Your Lion.

My morning.

(Adrian Mesko diary pictures)

Enjoying coffee, long boarding again, hanging out with my natives, going to see The Neighbourhood in London, spending the night chatting with my lovely Jaks, breaking into Battersea Park just for a night walk, working, wearing heels 24/7, modeling, reading books, reading magazines, buying new albums, finding new Spanish places to dine out and buying floral cushions and towels for Dominique's visit.

So that's pretty much my last week. 

Which is why I hope you understand how much I enjoy spending my morning on our kitchen table. Reading Russh, listening to amazing music, drinking orange juice and eating rice crackers.

Let me tell you one thing. London is a wild place full of even wilder animals. Even though I am more than grateful to be a lion here, it feels good to be a cat sometimes. Like this Sunday. 

Table Sunday with my latest discoveries and inspirations.

Film: Lotus Eaters

Lotus Eaters:

Stand Up Against Heart Crime - A Hundred Lovers

Yaaaay! Officially finished my educational year finally.
To celebrate this I am spending my afternoon eating strawberries and watching all possible films. One of them is Lotus Eaters. Written by Alexandra McGuinness this one makes a perfect mindf***k, perfect B&W and perfect cinematography.

And I will blink to you soon, my dears.

Some Spring Counting

While I wear my sunglasses I listen to:

Andy Jay and S-Tee ft. Charlene - Spiralling (L Phonix and Yllavation Remix)

Peer Kusiv - Let Her Go

Midi Matilda - Day Dreams (MyKill Remix)


'But you only need the light when it's burning low 
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow 
Only know you love her when you let her go 
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low 
Only hate the road when you're missing home 
Only know you love her when you let her go'
- Let Her Go

Let's do some exciting Spring 2013 counting:

1. We celebrated Jennifer's birthday. She's 21 now! We went to Namco (to be honest, thought I'll hate it but it was so much fun) and to GBK for dinner. Do recommend trying Gourmet Burger Kitchen.

2. First successful online shopping experience.

3. One shop is now providing me with girly and feminine books daily. So, I'mma read, I'mma read, I'mma read. I'mma take that... (okay, if you don't know how this goes you should listen to this).

4. Finally started my FOUND notebook with a beautiful drawing by my friend Domile on it. I'll try to list my beautiful discoveries daily in order to not forget them.

5. It's getting warm in London. We're talking leather jackets, sunglasses and colourful nails here.

Have a good Thursday - almost Friday day ;)

Hugs and London kisses,

Karolion.

LFW: Richard Nicoll

Richard Nicoll does it again. One of my favorite LFW F/W 2013 collections so far.

Sophistication level that satisfies me. Not too sweet, not too pretty, still really strong and feminine.

LFW: Jean-Pierre Braganza

 Prints, black, white, few other colors and I'm fascinated.

Feminine in its unfeminine way Jean-Pierre Braganza's A/W 2013 collection undoubtedly was one to remember.

'I'm obsessed with the idea that numbers and geometry have symbolic and cosmic value, with the female from being the ultimate cosmic being.'

- Jean-Pierre Braganza

Running out of my hand fingers to name all the reasons to admire this Canadian designer.

Some spare fingers, please.

Elena Crehan

While most of the young London Fashion Week's attendees seem to be with their heads stuck in the clouds seeing those Made in Chelsea characters walking around the Somerset House, I, on the other hand, review this LWF straight from my bed because, what a pity, but I wasn't able to fight the flu any longer.

Having all this time on my hands, I went through those collections that were already presented at LFW.

First collection to catch my attention - Central Saint Martins MA's collection.
It feels strange to see fashion through the eyes of fellow fashion students and designers-to-be. This year, however, MA graduates left me positively surprised as some of the creations were great and inspiring  pieces of art and others stood for something that would definitely go to my 'must-haves' list.

And I'm off for another coffee.
X, Karolion.
