In 2011, more than 240,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Thousands of men worldwide will this Movember, the month formerly known as November, lay down their razors and embrace a ‘tache to raise both funds and awareness for men’s health.
So boys, become a Mo Bro by registering here and start getting fuzzy… But will you go for The Chaplin, The Sigmund or The Borat? I obviously would recommend The Gosling...
Last week I was invited to Petersham House for ‘La Petite Mort,’ on the first of three nights of Halloween banquets organized by The Old Vic Tunnels and the newly established Petersham Playhouse. It was a spookily special night out…
I was met by a 12ft stilt walking girly ghoul, carved pumpkins, flame throwing and tarot card reading followed by fantastic performances from Les Enfant Terribles. The fantastic troop of actors frighteningly interacted with their anxious audiences in the dimly, chandelier lit rooms around Petersham House (opened for us to explore at our own peril.) I screached when a meat hacking, psychotic crazy, in blood soaked bandages, jumped out at me from a cellar wielding an axe...
Luckily, a deliciously decadent feast by Petersham Nurseries Michelin Star Chef Skye Gyngell soon calmed me down (wouldn’t everyone find rice pudding covered in drops of blood-red, raspberry compote relaxing?!)
Dancing with my fellow revellers to music by Tankus The Heng followed and I found myself at one point, toffee apple in hand, bopping along with an extremely dapper baboon in a velvet jacket, vintage fur stole and top hat… Hell-a fun night!

This is the elegant, and haunting, short film, created by Paris-based director/photographer Babetter Pauthier, featuring Alexander McQueen’s Autumn/Winter 2011 seasonal scarf collection. Advertising the iconic McQueen Skull, there has never been a more opportune day to invest and wrap up in one of these scarves... Happy HalloMcQueen...

The famine in East Africa has reached desperate heights.
30,000 children have died in just over 3 months.
12 million people are at further risk.
Please watch ONE’s new video below, ‘The F Word: Famine is the Real Obscenity’ which features, amongst others, George Clooney, Bono, Colin Farrell and Bill Nighy, and then sign THIS PETITION putting pressure on the world’s leaders at the upcoming G20 summit in November to focus their attention on this famine and food crisis.
As you may have noticed by now, I am a bit of a magpie when it comes to glittery shoes… They have an extreme magical power over me; no challenge or obstacle in the world seems unconquerable when I have twinkly toes.

After H&M’s successful designer collaborations in the past (Stella McCartney, Lanvin, Jimmy Choo, Matthew Williamson…) I was excited to see the pictures emerge last week of Versace’s forthcoming range for the clothing giant.
I can honestly say there is not one single thing in the entire gaudy range I would wear... And then there is the men's collection which I am honestly surprised is being released on November 17th and not in time for Halloween...
It appears that when it comes to Versace lust, I'd save your pennies for the real thang.
This little piggy went to Jason Wu, this little piggy went to Giles Deacon and this little piggy ran aaaaall the way home... in her Brian Atwood heels.
In the lead up to the release of her new film, ‘The Muppets,’ Miss Piggy has had a fierce, high fashion makeover in American InStyle’s November issue. Wearing custom pieces designed by six hot designers including Jason Wu, Prabal Gurung, Opening Ceremony, Suno, Brian Atwood and Giles & Brother, Miss Piggy looks Hot to Trot...
“Style is about expressing your inner self, capturing your personal ethos, and, most importantly, spending someone else’s money…” said Miss Piggy.
Better start saving up Kerrrrrmieeeeee....
Above: Wearing Prabal Gurung, “I didn’t want to dress Miss Piggy in anything that would take away from her bold personality so I went with a simple, classic dress and neutral colour.”
Above: Wearing Jason Wu, “Her humor, flamboyance and joie de vivre inspired me to design a decadent feathered dress that features her most sensational qualities.”
