Kohl-smudged Titania the hum of other people’s talk soaks the husk brushing her ear, the graze of a look – Les nuites Blanches The moon lets go her absolutes Soul disheveled in Cigarette intimacy
Rastamouse, a new CBeebies show about – well, a stop-motion Rastafarian mouse and his crime-fighting crew ‘Da Easy Crew’ (also a reggae band). Most of the action revolves around cheese, chillin’ and finding out “exactly wha gwan”. ‘Chloe’, the YouTube hit which consists of a man who hysterically impersonates actress Chloe Sevigny as a strange bimbo with a constantly shifting backdrop talking only in references to Balenciaga, Victor & Rolf, and “filums”.
Les Nuits Blanches
With over 450 libraries in the UK threatened with closure, authors and readers alike have been attending anti-cut ‘read-ins’ (pun?) in libraries. Protesters played Monopoly, Connect 4 and “did plenty of reading”. Did you know that eating plenty of veggies will subtly alter the colour of your skin to make you look more attractive?! A recent study says this is the case, so get your carotenoid hat on and you’re eating your 5-a-day for Valentine’s Day. The latest Shakespeare adaptation (or abomination?) Gnomeo and Juliet takes the play to a Super-Mario, 3-D animated, sparkly level.We can’t help but love – and also hate – this film. A new Confession App for iPhone and iPad aimed at Catholics, which is also “not a substitute for confession”. Hmm... There will be no more Guitar Hero games. (Still, maybe people will actually learn to play real guitars?) No More Fitzbillies!! Where are you going to go for nibbles now? Will tourists and family have to content themselves with King’s College Chapel snowglobes for their best taste of Cambridge? Pictured:The best Chelsea bun in the world.
