Waitress Is Wonderful At The Wolverhampton Grand
The much anticipated musical Waitress arrived at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre last night, and completely wowed the audience, with the cast receiving a standing ovation. Based on the Adrienne Shelly much loved cult movie of the same name, Waitress is by turn, funny, sad, bittersweet and poignant, and despite being full of cakes, pies and baking, it is never sickly sweet. Waitress is the sweetest of desserts, but with the bite of a dash of chilli thrown in for good measure. Jenna works at Joe’s Pie Diner, creating wonderful new pies and desserts every day, using recipes she learnt with her mother as a way to escape an abusive father.…

English Riviera Art Deco
Like bread and butter, and Tom and Jerry, Art Deco and the seaside are a match seemingly made in heaven. Whether this is linked to the mainly white painted, or faience tiled buildings looking better on the coast, or if it is linked to the details that sometimes call to mind ocean liners (porthole style windows, smooth curves and fin details etc), there is no doubt that you find a lot of art deco architecture beside the sea.

Yes! You Can Wear Bodycon!
Bodycon has been a style that has been popular since the late 1980’s, when Amazonian like supermodels such as Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell seemed to pour their perfect bodies into very unforgiving dresses, and the rest of us mere mortals watched and wept, hoping that this trend disappeared very soon in favour of something more flattering. Herve Leger and Azzadine Alaia were kings of this trend, and Robert Palmer had a video full of models/musicians in bodycon with a red slash of lipstick and slicked back hair. It was a sexy look for sure, but for many of us it was one that was best avoided. Bu…
