 Elle..

Back in the late eighties early nineties we were making 

latex clothing,( mainly for the Punks and Goth crowd)

through Karen at Forbes Hamilton. Karen knew some-one 

at Elle magazine and asked me for a dress for their front cover

so I made a "little black dress" in gold latex. They loved it and ran

it as their front cover. It was only after we saw the first print that we

saw there was a mistake and instead of a price of £90 it was listed

as £900 and yep, people still wanted to buy it.

I don't know why I was thinking of that time but I ran a search

on google and good as gold, there it was....  .ain't she stunning

The Song & Calls of the Blackcap


.. bet you ain't got one of these outside your kitchen window,
   couldn't   believe my eyes when I saw it. I thought they
spent the winter in other lands but it seems more and more
are staying here all year round.

MARC BOLAN T REX - There Was A Time Everything Was Fine


There was a time everything was fine
You got drunk on the day
Like-a it was wine
And all the children they put flowers in their hair
And all the grown-ups they put daggers  there.... instead...

Poem 33 ... Man oh man

 Man oh man .....                         by Derek Hinks


Man oh man what a mood I'm in

If I had windows I'd  kick 'em in

If I had a cat I'd boil it's head

Then eat it's eyes with a slice of bread

Man oh man what a mood I'm in

They're gonna know where I've bin

They're gonna see a bloody trail

Of bulls balls and sucked dry snail.

They're gonna see puppy's brains

Comin down like tropical rains

They're gonna wish they'd stayed in,

Man oh man what a mood I'm in .....................

Poem 32.......... Time's end..............

 Time's end        by Derek Hinks.


We vowed to love did she and I

Until the end of time.

Now her love is no-longer mine

She has not broken her vow,

For though alone I sit and cry

No matter, for the end of time is now .............

Poem 30.. the morning after..

 The Morning after...   by Derek Hinks


The morning has arrived again

And the mouth is dry.

Sleep restrains the eye from opening.

The ear's are to lazy

To sort out the hazy sounds of the street,

Here today I shall remain, 

I shall not challenge the world today..


Poem 29 Lunar...

 Lunar....   by Derek Hinks.


She has a soft and mellow light

Which even the darkest hour of night

Cannot make harsh with its contrast.

Her very shape is a gentle kind

A shape surely formed by mankind

With looks of wonder in times long past

Poem 28.... Just me...

 ...Just me..           by Derek Hinks


Time and chance are partners old

Space and thought are as the same

Unaware of thoughts I cast the mold

And watch as a universe plays my game.

Orbs of time and spheres of chance

I spin stretch halt or dice,

What visions shall space enhance

What heat the sun or spread of ice

Shall the earth suffer or greet

Who shall conquer or admit defeat?

I am destiny, I am fate, I am life.

Within the skull, behind the eye

That which is straddles the knife

Awaiting the moment they, and my brain shall die...

Amy Macdonald - Shilo (live)

Cable - (eighteen) seventy


...Like all good bands their best work was in the studio,   
so sad that having learnt their "trade" they were about to record
 some great stuff, how great we'll never know and can only guess...
