Museum of Broken Relationships

I've been so excited about this eclectic exhibition coming to London. Anything that promises to tell stories of lost love through the weird and wonderful, is my kind of museum. It's been touring the world (via Croatia) collecting objects and stories along the way, objects that define the 'love legacy' of relationships past. i love the concept of channeling the sadness and/or anger of a break up through creativity. By donating a meaningful object the exhibition hopes to act as therapeutic closure for all involved. You'd think the whole thing would border on depressing, but some of the stories of lucky escapes and intense love are actually really uplifting. There's a story in there that everybody can relate to. Turns out that it doesn't matter who you are, or where you're from, a broken heart is a broken heart. There is something comforting in that. My favourite item? Hmmm, think it's the Spanish scientist voodoo doll...i have a vengeful streak!

oooh the intrigue...what were the words??

it's a me...Mario!

What kind of crazy person goes shopping on a Friday night?? Me that's who! The man needed a second opinion and this was the only free evening we had...not ideal! God bless Urban Outfitters for letting women in the changing rooms. The kind of changing rooms that have space, decked out with comfy sofas and coffee table books. Not to mention super cool, Super Mario wall art! My reward for being a patient shopping buddy...dinner at Polpetto. Well worth braving the shops for.

brick walls

i have a strange fascination with brick walls. Maybe because, as a young girl, when i complained of being bored, my Dad would tell me to 'go bang my head against a brick wall''. Until the boredom subsided, you see?? A little unorthodox maybe but it encouraged me to find less painful hobbies! So anyway, maybe this is why i am drawn to photographing them. Much to the bemusement of passers by, who can't figure out whether i'm seeing something fascinating that they're not, or whether i am just plain crazy. you decide.
