UK MUSIC: SKEPTA – RESCUE ME

Today I watched new afternoon BBC2 show No Hats No Trainers, and rapper Skepta was a main feature on the show. He is an attractive man. I hadn’t really paid that much attention to him before, but that all changed today! Anyway check out Skepta’s latest single Rescue Me which actually sounds pretty good. It also has that mainstream appeal, and will probably go on to become his  first UK number 1 single. The video – Is he supposed to be in []

UK EVENT: CANDY MAGAZINE LAUNCH PARTY – “FASHION SHOW”

While lurking over at Miss Lala Report I came across footage of the Candy Magazine launch party and “fashion show”, that took place on the 18th December 2009. All I want to know is who was responsible for organising this poor excuse of a fashion show, and did the designers Amor Lingerie steal their latest line (Sassy Ass Clothing) off a stall in Deptford market?
