I'm going to see the skin exhibit at the Welcome Collection tomorrow (finally)! Very excited. I saw an incredible collection of waxworks there a while back, and if you live in London--- you really must go! Their exhibitions are always free, and unlike anything you're likely to see anywhere else.
So: make sure you head over before it shuts on the 26th of September!

Besides serving up the VERY BEST coffee in London, the owners Bill and Flick whip up amazing sandwiches soups and salads with some of the most heavenly home-made cakes I've ever tasted. YUM!!
Yes, my love and devotion to Taste of Bitter Love is such that not only are Flick and Bill very close friends of mine (and Jack's) but... they have recently incorporated a little bit of RP/Encore into a recent mural by other TOBL lover and artist Oskar Johanson!
Can you spot the little nod to RP/Encore in this image??
It's sterling silver with 4 microns of gold plaiting (that's a lot---) with 2 rubies set in the ventricles, and a little hole in the back to let light into the backs of the stones!
Isn't it a beaut!?! I'm still working out pricing for this one, but suffice to say it is one of a kind--- There's no way I'll be able to replicate this item. What do you think???
