british sea power and colourmusic at the echo
For the fabulous Prefix, of course. British Sea Power were great, as usual. I rather wish we knew people who’d dress like that all the time, haircuts and all.

Our babechka Dita Dimoné turned 21 at the weekend. A celebration ensued; beautiful people rampaged up and down Sunset ’til sunrise.
