Lily Cole, Kate Moss, Agyness Deyn, Kelly Hussey... OK, maybe not, although I AM 5’11 and I could sit about posing all day on a beach somewhere glamorous! Sorry models out there, I know it’s actually hard work – ahem.

If you’ve always had a beautifully shaped eye on the modelling industry then this may be your chance at hitting the big time. Maybe that could be you sashaying from party to party, rubbing shoulders with A-listers and looking stunning on the covers of the magazines. Who knows? Well, if that’s your thing then you’ll be interested to know that Revive Juice Bars are working in conjunction with Storm modelling agency (yes, that’s the famous one) to find …

Anyone who regularly reads my blogs (if not, why not hmm?) will know I recently acquired a taste for Sake (see Just For The Sake Of It). Now prior to this tasting I figured Sake was that horrible cheap stuff that burns the throat, but not so! It’s actually rather nice – especially the sparkling Sake, but then I am a fan of Champers!

So I was really excited to hear that a Sake and Japanese food masterclass is due to be held on Thursday 31st July Sake, hosted by Akashi-tai Sake Brewery at Bincho Yakitori Soho. Ahh my two passions – Sake and sushi.

I admit that, on occasion (usually when I’m ill at home so perhaps a little delirious), I watch antiques shows. And I like the theme tune to the Antiques Roadshow. Come on, hum it – you know you want to.

What I really love about these shows is when your Average Joes come on having found an old dusty heirloom in their garage, only to discover it’s worth insane amounts of money. Awesome. I don’t think my collection of IKEA furniture counts, unfortunately...

This was taken to a whole new level recently when – get this – one of Jimi Hendrix’s old guitars was discovered in a garage in Hove. Seriously. Oh, it gets better. This guitar is iconic. When Jimi Hendrix came to London in 1967 to open his Walker Brothers Tour, he played …

It’s a big weekend this weekend for the ever popular and oh so painfully trendy Mother Bar, as the old favourite turns nine years old. I just couldn’t let such a momentous occasion go by unnoticed, so wanted to take the opportunity to wish Mother a very happy birthday from the View London office.

The Old Street bar has always been known for a rather debauched approach to partying it up Old Street style, ah if only the walls could talk. To help them celebrate in a style that regulars have come to expect from Mother a huge line up is planned for Sunday 13th July. So far DJs Benjamin, Farah and Prince Nelly, Hero and Solaris 100 are all lined up to hit the …

Any Londoner who regularly heads over to Oxford Circus will know the megaphone-laden dude who used to lecture on the streets about finding religion, shouting ‘Are you a sinner or a winner?’ and chastising shoppers for, well, shopping. He even made it into the papers after being slapped with a police order to stop being so irritating.

Of course, lots of people would exclaim, ‘I’m a sinner baby!’ in true lairy Londoner style. And so, it’s little surprise that one venue – the famed Purple Turtle in Camden – is now holding a bi-monthly mini festival called the Festival of Sins, actually celebrating the seven deadly sins.

Fashion shows, fetish …
