So... this post is going to be super camp, like totally SUPER CAMP!
& its all Sky Livings fault... damn them & their Steps Reunion... its bought up my love for Steps, I thought it had died along with the demise of the band itself, but alas it was hidden behind my liking for much more hipster dickhead things.... like Lomography, Lego & the Long Blondes!
But yes, these are my favourite Steps songs.
Yes, camp. But to be honest after watching a load of Steps videos online, the 2 i've posted really aren't that camp in the gand scheme of Steps campery... I don't know why im justifying my choice of Steps songs, as I don't care what anyone that bothers to read this thinks!
I like rambling & tea & cake & knitting & music & Mr Penton....

A POLKA DOT BOW-TIE
I had an adventure today... an adventure all on my own, an adventure to London. Now I was going to try & be totally cultural & go to all my favourites galleries & museums, but alas, something was beckoning me...
I've paid off my Topman account card & thought it wouldn't hurt if I just had a look in the flagship store... so yer, I tried on many things & ended up spending £68 on a floral polo shirt, a pale blue smart-ish shirt & 2 bow-ties. One bow-tie is more a brooch made of tartan felt & the other is glorious, a beautiful pistachio green polka dot affair.... I intend to wear this, alot, as Doctor Who would say 'bow-ties are cool'.
They are indeed.
It could have been much worse, I tried on several coats & jackets, that all fitted beautifully, which is rare for Topman, & the only reason I didn't buy any of them was I couldn't be bothered to lug them around with me!
Right, so after a little shop & a little lunch with a friend, I decided I would be cultural god damn it, so I hoped on a tube & headed to the National Gallery & the National Portrait Gallery. This next statement may shock you... I actually PAID to get into an exhibition!! I never pay to get into exhibitions... but this one was special, The Glamour of the Gods, gorgeous, fabulous, totally camp... black & white photographs of Hollywood stairs in the heyday of well glamourous Hollywood!
Also i've drunk far too much coffee today. Two lattes in London both with an extra shot in, sufficed to say I had the jitters before I got on the High-Speed home, oh & i've just had another coffee...
Tonight, I shall be a HUMMINGBIRD.
