Nice firm buttocks!

No, we are not talking about Spike from Notting Hill. Last weekend I ventured to London for a huge white party hosted by Smirnoff at the O2, by huge I mean 10-12,000 people from all over Europe with a strict dress code of white only.

Anyway getting side tracked already, we stayed in a quaint little Radisson hotel on Canary Wharf... a stones throw from the party location. In our room I was fascinated by a piece of metal work, framed using a recess in the wall. The photo really shows the definition clearer than you could see when looking at the piece in person.


It wasn't until we put the room lights on later on that it became clearer.


I thought this was a great piece and could work really well in a high end fashion retail space, very different and great how the definition was then reflected on the wall through the shadow. Impressive use of art, positioning and lighting. Food for thought.

Jelly!

We all know jelly is fun, it is a classic kids party pudding and even the adults have a soft spot for it. It is a fascinating thing, neither liquid or solid but fun too wibble and wobble seeing how far you can push it before it topples over.

However we are not talking your average jelly here, Bompas Parr have definitely taken it to new levels...


As you can see it is pretty epic, not only do they have more than your average jelly mould but the different colours and shades not to mention ones in the form of the 'Gherkin' and below - Buckingham palace.


Its not all about the jelly, they also do Kitchenalia - you've guessed it things for your kitchen but a large part of what they are about is the events and shows they hold. Whether it is a party or corporate event they can tailor it to your needs and put on a party to remember. For instance just look at this - neon jelly!


An amazing company and looking at their many projects from Dining with Alice to the Dirt Banquet you wonder whatever will be next.

Have a good look around, truly fascinating and magical - www.
