So Daisy Lowe and Pixie Geldof have all been dropped from Select modelling agency. Where are all the new wild young thangs? If anyone dares throw Pixie Lott's name into things - pipe down. You should be ashamed.
Next topic - There's a new film in the works entitled "Beyond Biba - a portrait of Barbara Hullanicki", which as you might have guessed is a documentary centred on the infamous Hullanicki, founder of Biba vintage which was an integral part (if not the epitomy) of the swinging sixties and finally closed it's doors in 1975 under somewhat suspicious circumstances. Hullanicki has since then been quite the recluse, shunning the usual social circuits and disappearing from London. So now we have bio-pics on Coco Chanel, Anna Wintour and Barbara Hullanicki - one word, rhymes with "huzzah".
Also I fully recommend that people read "The Bolter", a biography of Idina Sackville, the flappiest of all flappers who married and divorced five times and was well known for her raunchy parties, which were essentially the equivalent of today's car-key-swaps. In a nutshell she scandalised London society during the first world war and beyond before moving to Africa to continue her sordid escapades. The book is written by her great-great-granddaughter, it really is a gorgeous read.
