Cox, Cookies & Cakes.

It's been open for a while, some would say old news...but I visited Cox, Cookies and Cakes for the first time last weekend.

In the heart of London's Soho it's kitted out like a sex shop; the servers are wearing leather aprons with studs, the music is bass blaring loud and neon lights add to it's glam/ seedy vibe.

The cakes are no different...You can choose from the classic cupcakes which are about £2.50 (boooooring!!!) or go for the more design based ones which are £4.00. The designs include a Marilyn Monroe themed one (for the glam ones in your life), a cupcake with flexing arm muscle on the top, cleverly called "beefcake" and then the famous "titty cake" which does exactly what it says on the tin...saucy!


The idea came from designer Patrick Cox who says on his website, he grew up with his mother baking around him and that it had always been an interest of his. I used to lick the wooden spoon too, however he has a little thing called "large amount of capital" and therefor probably easier for him to open a business..one day Coxy, one day!



Next time you're in sunny Soho, visiting the bars, clubs, shops and "questionable theatres", drop in. They make perfect gifts too! Just make sure you keep them upright!...Sorry Martin and Laura!

Oh my Rihanna, it's Cher.

It might be spiteful but there are no words to describe how much I despise this thing...Go away Cher, no one cares...and breathe!

Video WOW of the Week!

The boyfriend and I normally go and see a movie on New Year's Day, it's one of our things that we do. Yesterday we saw Tron 3D. LOVED IT!

I'm secretly (or not so secretly sometimes) quite a techno-geeky person and therefore even if there wasn't a story line I was still going to be impressed with the outfits, gadgets and effects. In fact I can't really remember the story line 100% but the film was still amazing. The lead actor was slightly annoying, he had an overly gruff voice and too many teeth but get past that and it's a fantastic movie that makes you come out the cinema feeling disappointed with normal life and like you kinda want to keep running at a computer until you get sucked in - don't worry I've not tried...today.

A Disney movie and not a Mickey Mouse in sight!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year's eve, that's right, It's the big 2011, my ipad has not been affected by the millennium bug or 2011's equivalent and therefore I present my first post of the year.

I was just going to go back on my blog and see if I had achieved my new years resolutions for 2010, then realised I didn't really make any...result!

This year I am, but I'm keeping it simple and above all achievable; I'm going to start saving and drink more water.

The first just because I should and it's what we "grown-ups' do blah blah blah. The second; pure vanity. Recently, you see, I've been getting the "crap I AM actually getting older" feeling and feel that I should take a little more care. It was the cow on a certain beauty counter, that shall remain nameless (Biotherm) that first kicked the feeling in. She told me that one should start their anti-ageing regime at the age of 25. I nodded, stocked up and left, realising on the tube about ten minutes later with a shudder that I'm 2 years behind already.

I don't want to be one of those queeny mincers that plucks their eyebrows within an inch of their life who's skin colour looks like they help a certain Willy Wonka in a certain chocolate factory but at the same time I don't want to look 50 when I'm actually 30.

Drinking a litre and a half of water a day helps your body keep going but also more importantly makes your skin glow, like a pregnant woman without the pregnancy. Be warned however that if you drink more than two and a half litres, you can drown!? Not sure if that's true or not but I will follow with caution.

You'll be impressed to hear that so far, so good, I'm sat here at my desk avec water by my side, don't think I've gone over my recommended daily allowance yet, this could be dangerous.
