80/20 #3 Magic Tricks

This is really cheating a little. I'm drawing what I wore last Friday to go to the Fivedials Bookslam at Wilton's Music Hall, London. It was a fine event at which everyday London hipsters were transformed into the modern version of an audience of Victorian ne'er-do-wells with the magic of some vintage feathers and rhinestones and a little moustache polish ("You're sailors" - Craig Taylor indicates one third of the room -  "...and you over there," - he gestures to the rest of us - "You're prostitutes.").

For what it's worth, I was wearing a very tiny Vanessa Bruno mini skirt I recently bought from the Outnet, and an APC 'mariniere'. I clearly fall into the sailor category. To keep true to the 80/20 project, I'm wearing the same today...

Wish I could have been there!! How was JSF? cringingly sincere and twattish? that's how I like to imagine him.

I think that's the effect of his glasses. I've seldom seen a more sincere pair. He had quite a duelling match with Paul Murray in which the magic tricks kind of took over the literary element. He certainly read some of the less controversial extracts from his book not wanting, I guess, to shower is in chickenshit, blood and guts.
