Peaches Geldof is clearly dillusional and I love Nylon magazine and cannot even begin to express my disappointment in their decision to employ her as a columnist. But today she has decided to share more pearls of wisdom with the world through her second column for the style magazine. One of the key aspects of journalism is research; It's the base of all pieces. On this basis I would like to suggest that Peaches looks up what 'fashion' is as clearly she currently doesn't think that it includes Vivienne Westwood, grunge (created by Marc Jacobs) or hippie chic (e.g. boho sported by nearly every British celeb under 25 you can name in the past 10 years not to mention Matthew Williamson).
"Most people who know me know I don’t follow fashion. I mean, I just dyed the tips of my hair blue for God’s sake. I hate stars who look totally overstyled, like Victoria Beckham; give me Courtney Love, with her babydoll nighties and ripped fishnet tights, any day. For me, fashion is about pushing boundaries. Vivienne Westwood once told me that people who aren’t creative or have no love for art don’t dress up, I asked her why people should and she replied simply, “Because it’s fun.” Sage advice. Here are some trends I’m looking forward to in the coming year."
Further highlights include, "Fortunately, this [hippie chic] is still very fashionable," and "Grunge is back. These are comfortable, cozy, and you can take one right off your old man’s back." Bob Geldof - grunge legend.
There are some great comments underneath too showing love to young Peaches:
"MARIA 11/20/2008: i don't follow fashion my ass! if she didn't follow fashion she would have a piece of string around her forehead or be wearing these 60's style clothes! correct me if i'm wrong, but these things ARE in fashion nowadays aren't they?"
"MEGHAN 11/20/2008: -3 stars for peaches claiming she doesn't follow fashion...seriously? who are you trying to impress? nylon is a fashion magazine, you know, and you are writing for them..."
"SHANNA 11/20/2008: The music options seemed sound but the girl hasn't got a clue about fashion!"
"PEACHESISTEDIOUS 11/24/2008: OHMIGOD you dyed your hair blue! How... 2001! Seriously how do you manage to stay ahead in fashion? Well, by stealing stuff mainly I guess, staying ahead of the cops."
"BELLAROSA 11/24/2008: "and dont lisent to the haters what do they know? " Well we know she is a bellend that cannot write, doesn't know music and least of all knows fashion. FYI she is a bit of a joke here in the UK. Does Nylon know that? That you employd someone who has as much street cred as the crew of the Hills? Plus we all know she has loose fingers, is rude and seen a sa spoilt rich kid."
Oh I need to stop. So compulsive though!

Exciting times on Goldhawk Road...Look what just made it's way in to my hands! Haven't had much of a chance to flick through yet but needless to say, I'm pretty excited!
Seeing as the credit crunch is affecting everything, we decided to indulge in a classic British treat of tinned dessert! The chocolate sponge with chocolate sauce was boiled (in the tin) for 35 minutes. It is possible to make the amazing Heinz snack in less time in the microwave but 194 were keeping it old school today.
