PARIS FASHION WEEK

The recent fire in the Eurostar tunnel had made it a lot easier to change your ticket, thank god we needed to recover after a heavy month. We ended up missing the first 3 nights of fashion week, but we did turn up in Paris revitalized. 

We met up with Chris and Roxie for the best steak with mashed potatoes and a rich creamy bearnaise sauce. We followed that up with vast amounts of vodka. We met up with Annabelle Wallis at the Alexander McQueen party, she was the lovely Lara Bohinc, extremely talented Jewelry designer and now Mum, she looked amazing considering she only gave my birth a few months ago, we were actually meant to play the delivery but were in NY at the time. 

We brought them along to Le Baron where we were playing, and as we have mentioned loads before on this blog, it's one of our favorite places to play. This time we had the Olsen twins boogying down with as always a million hot chicks. 

None hotter though than Angela, who Wade had arranged to meet up with on the dance-floor and she arrived perfectly to tango... (missing scenes)

The next night we went so a Prada dinner after party where we up with Mr Laskey and his lovely friend Eden, who happens to be on the front cover of Vogue this month. We also met up with Finish stunner Ms Annika Stenvall who as ever was "Riot Girling". We left pretty quickly to go to the Paul&Joe party we were playing, but some reason it wasn't really happening, we did get there at 3am, has to be said. But luckily was still a free bar, so we ended up having the best most unpretentious fun. 

By Sunday we were starting to feel the pain, but still tried to steal the Mona Lisa, on touching another painting security was over Wade in millie-seconds. We did have a love bike journey through Paris and believe it or not came across Haders!!! 

That night went to Regine that night for the New York New York party, and it was great seeing Tommy Salah, Misshapes and Spencer Product. We spent most of the time running around the kitchen through these catacombs. Thanks to Dan for letting us stay, but it seemed Laskey had the most fun with a British super model in a strip bar. Dammit. 

FIONN IN TOKYO

A lot could be written of Fionn's 7 week "sabaticle" in Tokyo, but this video and the heart-achingly beautiful tune below pretty much sum it all up.

TIME OUT!!!

So Time Out celebrates 40 this week and one of our favorites girls happens to be one of London's 40 icons. We have known Lily Cole since she was barely a teenager and she has turned into a beautiful woman. You can read "her" interview here. The thing to bare in mind was that she let Wade & Spiky write it for her on a drunk night out, so she might come across a little arrogant, however the publicist obviously censored most of it. Well done Lily by the way.

Also well done to Erol Alkan for making the list. He is definitely one of our London icons and one of the main catalysts for a lot bands, friendships and shag-ons. He has produced 3 outstanding albums this year, Late Of The Pier's perhaps being the finest. You can read the interview here. This is one of the standout tracks from LOTP's Fantasy Black Channel album.

A GENT PROVOKED

Although LFW had been and passed, there was still the Agent Provocateur fragrance launch show to tie us over until Paris fashion week. The thing about lingerie shows is they are always more fun, the girls are more sassy and the crowd really gets into it, this one was very much like that, except the people cheering the most were the celebs like Kate Moss, Kelly O etc. We were fortunate enough to literally be on the catwalk itself and got a lot of good side-boob action. Daisy Lowe opened the show that also featured Jodie Harsh (more on her/him later) and our very own Isabelle, who we first didn't recognize. She looked stunning.

After the papparazzi stampede outside we went down to Sadie "who was only ever hot in Bram Stoker's Dracula" Frost's launch of something or other. It was a new club called Vendome, which could possibly be the worst place in the world. Do not believe what you read in the paper's, the party was SHIT, diabolical even. Suits mixed with some gay 70s carwash dude. Ok, fair enough Kate Moss etc were there, but we could not take more than 15 minutes in the place.

We later played a Creative Awards ceremony party at the Hospital, which was kinda like an office party, but we did go down a treat. Mr Laskey filling in for Fionn on this occasion, doing a stirling job with a little help from Isabelle and Morwenna. It was actually the best party of the night and it was fun seeing George Lamb behind the decks. All in all, quite a weird night, but it was about to take an unexpected turn...

Back at Morwenna and Laskey's house, Jodie Harsh sitting on Wades lap, started slapping him in the face (reason unknown) quite a few times. However, since Wade cut his hair he has been a little more violent and has decided not to take anymore shit from anyone, let alone drag queens (famous or not) and took her/him by the throat and pushed her to the floor where he preceded in pouring the rest of the cheap, yet at 5am in the morning, highly sought after red wine in her/his face. From an outside point of view it must of looked ricockulous. 

Wade would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Ms Harsh for the incident and also wonders if this makes him a wife-beater or not.

PLASTIQUE MAN

We just did an interview with Black Knave, a new website for the fashionably profane man. Check it out here and click the Stunners banner.

MARIE ANTIONETTE

Straight after Fashion week, we headed to Versailles where we were playing Anoushka Beckwith's 21st birthday, daughter of the equally stunning Tamara Beckwith, who is a super hot MILF. We headed by coach with all her friends, a lot of TBs/DBs (Thorough Breds / Double Barrels) for sure, but all sweet. We were definitely outsiders though, so we are glad that Margo came too, with her new boyfriend, who is ace. 

The theme for the party was Maria Antionette and everyone was dressed up and looked amazing, truly a divine way to party. Fireworks, food and champagne set in beautiful surroundings and in the impressive Chateau Villette, where they actually filmed parts of The Da Vinci Code, it doesn't get much better than that. Fireworks, food, champagne and a burlesque performance from our old friend Roxy Velvet made it a night to remember, if only there were a few more Stunners in tow to kick some posh ass. 

The next day was spent drinking by the lake on a beautiful end of Summer's day. The public school and Kazakhstan TV presenter favoured Mankini came out, as did Jamie Burke's guitar (obvs he was here)...

We headed with Margo and Luke to Paris were we ended up in brawl with a taxi driver who even reached for the glove department to get his gun or knife. Then we met up with Chi-Chi and Margo got in a fight with a girl for dancing with her boyfriend. She pushed her on the forehead, then when her friend got lippy, she punched her in the face. Now this doesn't really sound to blog-worthy, except for the fact, that as this was happening the now bleeding girl's birthday cake came out, we all joined in the Happy Birthday song too everyones disgust. But to make it even more worthy on this blog, we were all in our costumes from the night before. 

LONDON FASHION WEEK (A SNORE)

Flying straight from Beatrice Inn to play at Maddox might not of been one of our best ideas, but it was nice to be back, and Wade got to show off his new (lack of) hair. The following night we played the Henry Holland party which was actually quite fun, we had some of our "groupies" in the DJ booth with us, you might recognize one or two. Sophie Ellis-Bextor was looking radiant as ever, and we think she might be bored of her husband, because she was giving off some vibes, but then again maybe more in Anna Barnett's direction. Wades line "You're Fit" went down a treat.

We actually hardly had any CDs left form America by this point, so we ended up borrowing Henry's. We played 4 gigs in 3 nights, jet-lagged out of my minds and sleeping through all the shows. We will be back on form for Paris!
