I love it when online shopping sites do clever things with their mailing lists, from My-Wardrobe‘s fashion forecast to Asos‘s seemingly weekly discounts, they’re a great way to encourage you to shop when you might otherwise not even think about …

So I’ve been trying to be good. Not morally, mind you, but financially, and avoid buying expensive things – or, you know, any things. The reasons for this are manifold: first off, I’m told we’re experiencing some kind of recession. …

I’ve always had a tough time warming to Tracey Emin. I think it’s because a lot of her work has been so, for want of a better term, anti-feminine. Because she’s been tough, rather than girly; hard, rather than soft. …
