The Museum of Everything presents Exhibition # 4 at Selfridges


follow the red arrows once inside Selfridges leading you the Ultralounge to see...



over 400 drawings, paintings & sculptures by international contemporary artists for whom creation is not just art, it is language


Exhibition # 4 is art from studios for self-taught artists around the globe



The Windows of Everything -is their re-interpretation of Oxford Street, featuring the royal fixations of Rudy Bradford, the musical letters of Harald Stoffers, the gun-toiting maidens of Giovanni Galli and an original 3D meisterwerk The City of the Future by German visionary architect Stefan Häfner














It is such a great concept and inspiring one as well - to be able to see how creative and capable these artists are and how workshops of Everything made this possible.

Mary Portas & Clarks @ Clarks - Oxford Street

A Collection for women by Mary Portas & Clarks
At 6:30 pm on Thursday Sept. 15th Mary Portas celebrated the launch of Mary & Clarks at the Oxford Street store







Some bubbly while waiting for Mary...








Mary's words: 
 "We honed each detail of the range to make it perfect for every aspect of a woman's lifestyle. We have great shapes - from edgy wedges to elegant courts - that serve up instant style. While they look super-hot, they are also deceptively comfortable. I defy anyone to say they could find a more comfortable three-inch heel than mine - a true shoe revolution!"









Brilliant display











DJ's playing music...





The drinks of the night






"the Mary Mary Quite Contrary" 
(bubbly)






the Virgin Mary 
sea breeze over crushed ice with fresh mint





Chocolate Truffles 
made the waiting be sweeter 





Discovered my new addiction;) one of the milk chocolate truffles had crackling candy filling - a true explosion of glory 





trendy crowd





Meet Mary


Very pleased to have met her, a true lady that appreciates and respects her fans and followers. 
BRAVO Mary!

The Thames Festival September 11,2011

The annual Thames Festival which takes place between Westminster Bridge and Tower Bridge is a must as there are plenty of things to see, do, learn, eat in the many food stalls, and meet people all around the globe on and  alongside the Thames
My iPhone and I were there on Sunday September 11 a very important day to be remembered and remember the tragedy that the Americans and all went through.
I started my tour close to the Scoop (next to Tower Bridge) on th nice sunny day



nice sculpture


the food stalls...


very happy to see David one of the Arancini Brothers serving their amazing now renamed Risotto Balls
They are out of this world or as I like to describe them an explosion of flavours inside a wrap
crisps apples blend in perfectly with their risotto balls and special sauce and then the crispy fried onions kick in...mmmm


Chocolate fondue stand...fancy white or dark?


or milk chocolate?

after choosing what to eat and/or drink nothing like sitting on the grass and enjoying it all...


next to the food stands a petting farm


plenty entertainment for kids...


even a disco shed for them...


puppet shows...


Fancy a paddle?


he went for the how fast can you paddle 200 m challenge...


a band playing....


the crowd listening...


walking around met Michael Mainelli - Lady Daphne one of the most famous London's classic wooden vessels still sailing on the Thames...
I was one of the many unlucky to not make it through the 2 hour journey as I did not reserve on time
will for sure do it next year...
Lady Daphne



kept walking...



gent doing sand sculptures...


like a nice sand sofa

comfortable chairs maybe more than in a regular cinema...


presenting...

the short film...
including Charlie Chapman...



Cannot agree more with the writing...as it is indeed a great  concept


exiting the mobile cinema the attendees needed to do the "Charlie Chapman walk" on the red carpet




not bad...



my journey ended with the closing fireworks...
