Junior C, Man in Pink, LEAMINGTON

Ex-Handsworth boy like me, nice guy JC, braves pink along with a couple of other men I noted today.

Should have snapped them, may sketch one.

T-Shirt on a model, LEAMINGTON

Charlotte models a tiny cropped top with the Ram's head design from the 'Self Hatred' line we are sending to Milan next week to see what happens.

Thanks to her for doing it :)

Seemita Sketch II, LEAMINGTON

Work in Progress.

Actually, the photo is better than a drawing will be, but doing a drawing gives a chance to see why.

Double Yellow, LEAMINGTON

Work In Progress.

I saw her glammy in the Top Cleaners waiting for her laundry. There was a big bad black 4x4 outside parked on the double yellows and had to be hers. So i sat down by the side of the road and considered unpacking and setting up my long lens camera but didn't. I was in position and i had time to get a picture. but didn't fancy doing it without asking her and i had the feeling she'd be a No anyway.

So i watched hard, how she came out and put her clean suit to hang up from the handles in the back of the car.

Self-Hatred T Shirts, LEAMINGTON

Being an ageing hipster it would only be a matter of time before i collaborated with nice deluded folk and made a range of T shirts.

Using the drawings of artist Carl Hoare and the phrases of friends Silvia and Euan here are the women's cut range of vest, tunic, T shirts that we are trying to photograph on Chinese chicks if possible before we send them off to Italian fashion people for their consideration.

Bella of the Bus Stop, STRATFORD-UPON-AVON

This is Bella.

A moment earlier a car just crashed into another one, the only thing of note was the squirting windscreen washer jets that went off after the impact. It looked like crying.

It didn't put us off but gave the twilight time a bit of an atmosphere.

Super-Sim, Hagley Road, BIRMINGHAM

Back with Seemita this Saturday, up off Five Ways!

Sim is a bit famous, people beeped and blew kisses.

She is great too, very natural and fun.

White Knitted Dresses/Black Leggings, Asian Babes, LEAMINGTON

Work in Progress.

Especially noted on asian babes in particular, woolly white short dresses over black leggings, in this case with diamond-ante heely sandals.

She was giving hell to a young man at the time, no point drawing him.

no point whatsover.

Stratford Street Fashion, STRATFORD-UPON-AVON.

Work in Progress.

Left to right, JD Sports type on phone, with over the shoulder JD Sports polythene bag.

Redhead power walking, in shorts, lots of these in Stratford.

Country type in tweed and drill eating ice cream.

Three girls eating chocolate in shorts, sitting next to chemist worker/optician eating McDonalds. Sitting next to couple eating ice-cream.

I need an oriental tourist type and some brummy day trippers.

Little black outfits, LEAMINGTON

I like these little black outfits i keep seeing all over, small and tidy jacket, tiny skirt, heels shiny with a shiny black bag. good with patterned or opaque tights. this one looks particularly good as the flounced hem flicks up on the jacket, giving a more maddeningly good silhouette.

great autumn buster.

Here's Adin in hers. Thanks to her.

Interesting blonde, LEAMINGTON

Here's that interesting blonde from May, who now I keep seeing everywhere and when I do I rifle through my stuff to see if there is a print I can give her, and there never is.

It's getting awkward now especially. Hope to give her a print sometime soon or at least say hello, don't worry.

Massive babe, LEAMINGTON

She was good, she said something like, I only smile when i need to smile. I look glum here but that's me too, I only smile when i need to.

Finely printed at Mail Boxes Etc, Leamington.

Funeral Fashions on the BBC, NEWPORT

Skip through this, about a stylish 16 year old Welsh girl becoming an undertaker.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b014r5wv/Britains_Youngest_Undertaker/

A bit long, a bit flapping around but some victorian style clothing nonetheless.

Low-Fidelity Lesbo-ish Activity, JUSTABOUTEVERYWHERE

Been getting glimpses in cafes, shops on the streets of what might be intimate, innocent instances of 'secret' sapphic scenes.

Will try and photograph this phenomenon.

(I forgot, i had photographed a secret tryst in Milano in May-a hand clearly on a hip(Is ok, is my friend Silvia)!)

Champagne Charlene Part 1, LEAMINGTON

Out on the prowl with the CC aka Janet, in super top hat and tails (Janet's style tip - we'll all be carrying a cane soon) to meet the delightful Leamington Girls ™

And some international ladies too...

... very sweet to meet.

Champagne Charlene Part 2, LEAMINGTON

What a night! Out on the tiles, with a trip to the Opera

Then steppin out with a lass in leather leggings-what a natural!

Bit of pool hustling with Donna in the Duke.

And then onwards with a 6 foot kitten!

Katie, Newhall Street, BIRMINGHAM.

In a charity shop cocktail dress, first seen here.

Shortening Dresses, BIRMINGHAM

Katie raises the hem on Seemita's dress (actually one of Katie's own).

Great girls, on the way to the JQ.

Thanks to them.

Funeral Fashion 2, Jewelry Quarter, BIRMINGHAM

Sadly, another funeral came about. Luckily, I had my camera to photograph Katie in her 60s-ish mourning dress.

Katie wasn't alone, her friend Seemita knew of the deceased and came to pay respects and provide support at this difficult time.

Pre-Season Asian Babes, Cherry St, BIRMINGHAM

Caught short in the hot-cold weather, the hot in the sun, cold in the shadows girls look a bit hot in their knits as they take their breaks in Cherry St.

One power-smoked two cigarettes, and hid herself behind the motorbike paramedic as i think i might have made her a bit uncomfortable with my (i tried to be discrete) looking.

She looked great though, i've seen her around a few times.

If i get the guts to ask to photograph her i will, though makes me nervous thinking about it.

Emergency Biker, Cherry St, BIRMINGHAM

That's Steve (I think) from All New Emergency Bikers, Channel 5.

Who is often on Cherry St waiting for a call out.

Funeral Fashion 1, Castle Bromwich, BIRMINGHAM

Naomi and family, put this together for me really, styled and suggested a beautiful location.

Thanks to her, and her mum Angela.
