Aww bless you, Fiona has a picture of you looking very suave I saw the other week, from the Isle Of White I think... I agree though, having me in that picture of you and Mika in his shocking cardi would just complete it! Hope you're all good :] xx

Why, thank you! It was in honour of Bret McKenzie's bday -aka bretday. (of Flight of the Conchords.) They have the kewlest photoshoots. This is the original (from Under the Radar mag):
This recent one had me in absolute stitches, The Hiphopopotamus and The Rhymenoceros hangin' in the hood:
Hey you, I'm so sorry! I did text you.. Not the same as the real thing, I quite agree. My head was all over the place that day.. MAJOR stress over getting home, resulting in five hours on three buses :[ I'm coming to Westonbirt so we will chat forever then, ok? And let's face it, Winston's hardly competition is he?! Hope you're well lovely, see you soon xxxxxxx PS. Sorryyyyyyyyy :]
