Grow Your Own Clothes

"Imagine if we could grow clothing...

BioCouture aims to address ecological and sustainability issues around fashion.

The BioCouture research project is harnessing nature to propose a radical future fashion vision.

We are investigating the use of bacterial-cellulose, grown in a laboratory, to produce clothing.

Our ultimate goal is to literally grow a dress in a vat of liquid..."

This is the BioCouture Press Release. Suzanne Lee is a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Fashion/Textiles at Central Saint Martins. She is heading up a project which basically aims to grow clothing from bacteria. Well, I know there's good bacteria and bad bacteria, but not sure how I feel about wearing bacteria... your thoughts?

Chillin With Ma Gals

Just worked 6 days on the trot and enjoying a well earned day off. Planned to do a couple of washings, hoover, clear out the back room and gut my wardrobe, but spent the whole morning faffing about on the web, eating jam and coconut cakes for breakfast and crying my eyes out watching episodes of catch-up Casualty. Thank god the postman didn't come to the door!
Mildred Pierce (black and white) and Lydia (white Persian-ish) kept me company - one on either side.

Not So Northern Lights

It seems that due to some kind of super explosion of particles, folks as far south as here in Scotland may get the chance to see the Northern Lights tonight. That would be one of my all time wishes granted. In fact, I would cry at such a sight. Good luck everyone!

And for those of you not lucky enough to catch a glimpse tonight - or ever for that matter, here is a wee clip of the lovely Joanna Lumley witnessing the Aurora Borealis for herself.

So my hair's long enough to tie up now - yay! This was the look I was going for on Friday night (Bad Hair Day) but just didn't have enough time to pin it all in place and gave up!

I had plenty of time on Sunday afternoon before heading off to the Electric Frog Street Carnival which started at 3pm. I was in two minds about whether or not to wear my new boots. After all, I was going to a festival in Glasgow - in August - it was bound to rain and I knew I'd be dancing my wee socks off as the line up was bangin', but hey-ho - these boots were made for dancin'!

There are no photos from the event as it descended into chaos pretty much as soon as we arrived. After a half hour set from Factory Floor, the heavens opened and everyone rushed outside the tent to wash the sweat off before grabbing another mojito and continuing the party with Liquid Liquid. Bit of a blur from that point on...

Anyway, despite coming home with god knows what all over my new boots - they looked more like a Jackson Pollock painting afterwards - I managed to rescue them with some warm soapy water and about 20 cotton wool pads - phew!

Here's a wee snippet from Factory Floor - live. A full on sensory experience. Turn the volume up and the lights down - enjoy!
