Looking for a return to the excesses of human endeavour, flair and excitement?

The Broken Hearts have teamed up with Director and Producer Rachael Castell and illustrator and animator Rob Flowers to create 'Welcome To the Big Top' that'll be screened at the Victoria pub. The short film explores circus culture and feats Carnesky's Ghost Train, Marawa The Amazing and more! God bless Michael and Farah - two colossal iconic figures bid us farewell, and with London's very own Russell Heron biting the dust our cultural circles really have something to mourn about. Check out the Private View that celebrates Russell's collection of works - raise a drink to the fella!

Blogs - our Editor, no other than Patrick Hussey threw himself at the cultural frontline this weekend just been - read about his very frank experiences at The London Festival of Japanese Rope Bondage (yes, there are pictures of bare bottoms and rope) that took place at The Resistance Gallery (def one of London's coolest haunts!) . Infact he went along with RR's Naomi Thompson who volunteered for some action (gasp!). Gagging for it? All a tad too ropey for you? You'll just have to read all about it! Naomi DID survive - and she has taken time to write up her Style tips for July - expect to get in the loop for London's coolest pub, an exhibition on Underwear, Burlesque protests and eco couture among other treats. What a star! Finally, Mr Hussey also popped along to Tableau Vivant where he dined in rather an intimate situation with his 'date' while 'reclining art' was de-robed... another adventure worth its sauce. Ooh, yes! Lip smackingly good.

Notices - A fab new book has hit the shelves:'On The Couch - Tales of Couchsurfing a Continent'! Journalist Fleur Britten’s fifth book is a really zeitgeisty number that deals with community, altruism, honesty, and a viable alternative to the monetary economy - all the things that society so badly needs.
