LA LA LAND...

WENT TO LALA LAND WITH KELE TO SHOOT HIS VIDEO FOR HIS NEW SOLO PROJECT. WHICH IS COMING OUT IN THE SUMMER. www.iamkele.com

NAR WAS ASSISTING ME ON IT & HELPING TO MAKE THE OUTFITS FOR THE DANCERS. WE GOT OUR SEW ON AT HERS IN THE VALLEY & DROVE ROUND LA SOURCING FOR THE PROJECT. NAR HADNT BEEN HOME FOR 3 MONTHS SO WE HAD A NICE TIME BEING IN NAR-LAND.

GREKO WAS DIRECTING IT & WE HAD OURSELVES A TIME.

JET-LAGGED & UP AT WEIRD O'CLOCK IN THE VALLEY.

HAD A TOOT ON M.I.A'S TRUMPET.

NAR & KELE TOTALLY KILLED IT WHEREVER THEY WENT.

KELE LEFT TO GO ACROSS THE WORLD SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT WE STILL PRETENDED HE WAS WITH US.

TANYA WAS IN LA & SHE CAME TO HANGTIME : )

DID A SHOOT WITH SAM SPARRO FOR HIS NEW PROJECT. HAD OURSELVES A L A U G H!

FILLED NAR'S CAR UP WITH HELIUM BALLONS FOR ELLY ON A TROPICAL VIBE & DROVE TO COACHELLA TO MEET LA CROUX.

BOUGHT ELLY A PRESENT SHE LOST IN 15 MINS.

GOT REALLY HAPPY WE WERE AT A FESTIVAL. SO EXCITED THAT WE STAYED ON THE SAME SOFA ALL DAY AND HAD A LAUGH.

DAVID GUETTA'S SET WAS ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVOURITES.... THE ROBOTS & LAZERS WERE AMAZING.

ME & NAR TOTALLY KILLED IT WHEREVER WE WENT.

LAUREN & VANESSA TOTALLY KILLED IT WHEREVER THEY WENT.

I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE EXACTLY HOW HILARIOUS THIS NIGHT WAS.

THIS WAS AFTER BREAKFAST THE NEXT DAY. WE SORT OF GOT REALLY INTO PALM SPRINGS AND DECIDED TO SPEND THE REST OF THE TIME THERE. I THOUGHT THIS LOOKED LIKE AN OLD FAMILY PHOTO SO I GOT JAZZY WITH THE IPHOTO EFFECTS.

I MET KIDDY AT A METRO STATION IN PARIS AFTER A WESTWOOD SHOW. WE PARTIED. RENDEZVOUS AGAIN IN LALA FOR MORE GOOD TIMES.

NAR MET PAUL SIMINON. SHE'S GOT THE HOTS FOR HIS SON. WE DIDNT GET HIS NUMBER :(

OUR TRIP-HOP TO BRISTOL

NAR HAD BEEN LISTENING TO TRIP HOP ALLLLL WEEK & I KEPT SAYING 'OH THEY'RE FROM BRISTOL' SOOOOO MUCH THAT WE DECIDED TO GO TO BRISTOL. BAILEY SAID HE WOULD DRIVE US SO WE WENT ON A TRIP-HOP HIATUS & SEE MY FRIEND EMILIE & FREDDIE- THE COOLEST KID IN BRISTOL... FACT

THIS IS EMILIE MY BRISTOL B/F

AND INTRODUCING FREDDY. SERIOUSLY COOLEST KID IN BRISTOL 2010...

WE LISTENED TO TRIP-HOP ALLLLLL THE WAY.

MASSIVE ATTACK- ONE LOVE

TRICKY- BLACK STEEL

I USED TO LIVE IN BRISTOL LATE 90'S. WANTED TO SHOW NAR & BAILEY THE TRUE BRISTOL EXPERIENCE. WE WENT TO THE PUB & DRANK CIDER.

THEN WE WENT TO A PARTY IN THESE ARTIST STUDIO SPACES WHERE EVERYONE APART FROM US WAS DRESSED LIKE ANIMALS AND THEY HAD A SHOW WHERE THE ANIMALS WERE WRESTLING IN A BOXING RING. VERY WEIRD. VERY BRISTOL.

SEE... 'I TOLD YOU SHE DIDN'T HAVE A DICK'

WE MET THIS AMAZING SPANISH GIRL CALLED 'ALBA'. SHE WAS OUR HERO OF THE NIGHT.

RONI SIZE REPREZENT- HEROS

THE NEXT DAY WE WOKE UP LATE & MISSED EMILIE TAKING PART IN A SPONSORED HULA HOOP EVENT. WISHED WE HAD MADE THE EFFORT. LOOKED NUTS

IN THE AFTERNOON WE LUNCHED WITH MY BROTHERS 2 HOTTIE MATES HARRIET & JESS. THEY TOOK US TO THIS GREAT CAFE IN STOKES CROFT CALLED 'CANTEEN'.

WE WENT FOR A WALK IN MONTPELIER & MET THESE NICE CRUSTIES IN THE PARK

I PERSONALLY THINK IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A TESCO IN MONTPELIER AS THERE WERE NO SHOPS OPEN AND THERE ARENT ANY CASHPOINTS : (

PORTISHEAD- ONLY YOU... AND ONE OF THE BEST MUSIC VIDDYS EVER MADE. BY CHRIS CUNNINGHAM

TRICKY... SUFFOCATED LOVE

THEN WE DROVE UP TO THE CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE A.K.A SUICIDE BRIDGE.

WE STROLLED AROUND CLIFTON VILLAGE & PRETENDED WE WERE POSH & LIVED THERE. ALTHOUGH MY BROTHER LIVED THE STREET BEHIND THIS WHEN HE WAS A STUDENT & HE'S NOT POSH.

I LOVE GEORGIAN HOUSES. IF I WAS GOING TO BUY A HOUSE I WOULD LIKE TO BUY ONE OF THESE ONES.

THIS IS MY OLD ART COLLEGE I STUDIED MY FOUNDATION COURSE IN BEFORE GOING TO ST MARTINS. IT IS AT THE BOTTOM OF WHITELADIES ROAD. I LOVE THIS BUILDING & 2000 WAS ONE OF THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE.

ON SUNDAY NIGHT WE WENT TO COSIES - WHICH IS STILL MY FAV BAR EVER ON A SUNDAY NIGHT I RECKON. GO TO COSIES- 34 PORTLAND SQUARE.
