maybe i'm developing a little obsession?

(yes, that's "super cupcake"!)

Spiderman, Hogwarts, & Horniness at student protest

I went to the student demonstration against higher tuition fees on November 10 but would like to make it clear that I had nothing to do with the actions of the violent protestors and was horrified at their behavior. There were around 50,000 people there, and the riots were caused by only a minority of protestors. The rest of us wanted things to be as peaceful as possible!!

Here are some peaceful and rather amusing photos from the event!

cupcake + multivitamin = super carey!!!

Happy Halloween

Last Tuesday Society

On the 31st I went to the launch party at the Last Tuesday Society for Lily Vanilli's book The Zombie Ate My Cupcake. Lily Vanilli specializes in cakes that look spooky & grotesque and her cookbook includes "25 deliciously weird cupcake recipes." You can see some of her creations below:

I also spent some time looking around the Last Tuesday Society's "Little Shop of Horrors," a crazy collection of skulls, bones, taxidermy, mutant stuffed animals, and strange books like Sex Instruction for Irish Farmers.

"The Future Can Wait"

A yearly contemporary art exhibition dealing with gothic & grotesque themes. This year's installation was in the cavernous basement of the Shoreditch Town Hall. I was inspired by the beautiful interaction between light and dark, life and death, and love and loss. The show also renewed my obsession with glass.

Liberty fabrics = love!

So I'm completely obsessed with Liberty fabrics. Walking through the fabric section of the store warms my heart. I want dresses made from each of the fabrics below. Maybe I'll pursue a second career in textile design...
