I’m a girl who likes a good sale and I just love the British car boot sales. The
Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair is in it’s fifth year and it’s a fusion of fashion, art and cars! How fabulous is that?
The fantastic art car commissions have been selected by Karen Ashton, who has been putting on bespoke art events for over a decade now. Rubbish Magazine will be turning a black Vauxhall Corsa into a giant designer handbag – I can’t wait to see this! The lovely Natasha Law will transfer her sexy line drawings of delicate feminine shapes onto the contours of a Vauxhall Astra Sport Hatch! William Tempest is selling limited edition mugs – naturally I want one or maybe two of these! Donald Urquhart and Studio Voltaire will transform a Vauxhall Astra TwinTop, covering it in decorations inspired by the cult 1970s documentary Grey Gardens whilst performing “Revolutionary Costume for Today” and encouraging others to join him. it should just be a fun day but be aware of the Rubbish magazine fashion police!!
Address: Old Truman Brewery, 146 Brick Lane, London, E1
Tickets: £3
Opening Hours: June 14th 12-6pm
Public Information: artcarbootfair.com

I attended the opening of Daisy de Villeneuve and Natasha Law’s first
exhibition together exploring
a darker side of friendship and women’s relationships. Really it just feels like girls being girls: we’re not always pretty and nice. We can be so mean, especially when we’re young. The images are open to interpretation – you can make up your mind about the character – I quite like her – she has all sorts of cool things and in one of Natasha’s paintings she has her head in a toilet., throwing up. There is something about this woman that you can’t help but be curious about.
I really enjoyed the exhibition and thought Natasha’s and Daisy’s work went well together: Daisy’s characters are fictional and Natasha’s work comes from her personal memories. Daisy does felt-tip illustrations and Natasha paints – but they both wear shoes!

Courtney and Natasha are both wearing Beatrix Ong shoes – they are also both wearing black dresses with bows and are quite petite. It was great though – instead of throwing dirty glances at one another they were delighted by their mutual good taste – like soulmates!
No Love Lost exhibition is at Elevan from April 1st to May 2nd 2009.
