In spite of several setbacks, the launch of Boneyards at the Stussy Store last night was a big success. The store looked great and loads of people turned up for the event. Everyone had a good time. The guys at the Stussy Store did a fantastic job. Special thanks to OTP for helping with the walls ;)
Last night almost everyone from the office went down to Harvey Nichols for the BBC /Ice Cream party. N*E*R*D were to perform a mini-gig for an audience of selected guests (...). I wasn't sure whether to go or not, but then I was curious and decided not to waste my invite. There were free drinks, canapées by Mr Chow and ice cream for everyone. I decided to limit my alcohol intake to avoid any embarrassment amongst work colleagues. The crowd wasn't the best; lots of wanna be celebs in high heels and fashion industry people. Still I had an ok time. The performance by N*E*R*D was actually very good and enjoyed it although I've never been a fan of the band. Pharrell has a great stage persona and can really keep his audience engaged. I think they played 3 or 4 songs. Here are some pics of the night.

Little girls, this seems to say, never stop upon your way, never trust a stranger friend, no one knows how it will end! As you're pretty, so be wise! Wolves may lurk in every guise! Now, as then, it's simple truth, sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth!
