Fashion et al Hearts Anita Blay -aka Thecocknbullkid

Shaven hair, 80’s Denim jackets, -and a mish-mash of bold dresses, a classic Mac, rock’n’roll t-shirts, a dash of high street and vintage bits‘n’bobs –yep, musician Anita Blay, aka Thecocknbullkid is marching-to-the-beat-of-her-own-drum. From ‘Goddess’ days in show stopping minx-y dresses to ‘am-I-bothered’ days in whacky t-shirts and skirt combo –you never know what your going to get with Thecocknbullkid. To me Anita is Art -and that’s why I love her; her music and her style….x

My kind of people: Shingai Shoniwa -Noisettes

“Wanting to escape from reality can inspire the greatest and most trivial creative natures in people, -I think escapism is something that connects all of us. Everybody has their own little soundtrack, and I guess I’m trying to make my own soundtrack to my escape plan. I want people to realize that there’s so much more”. Shingai Shoniwa

I dare you to watch Shingai strut her stuff on stage and not 'channel' her the following day. The 'channelling' rarely happens -now, but when it does (a couple of times with -Bjork, Mary J, Santagold, Thecocknbullkid and Aluna) -I just go with it. I am sure that like me, you've had your eye on this fabulous, 'fieceeeeeee' chanteuse. An Anglo -Zimbabwean, Shingai and her band, Noisettes have gone global (good for her -may it keep our Shingai -in Fendi fur coats for the rest of her life). A fashion icon, Shingai and Noisettes are now mainstream (I know guys, -this happened after their latest single ‘Don’t Upset The Rhythm’–was used in a Mazda advert and is now riding high in the charts at number 1. Keep on rocking Shingai, Dan Smith and Jamie Morrison (her fellow band mates). www.myspace.com/noisettesuk www.noisettes.net/

My Kind of People - Thecocknbullkid

There are yummy moments in life when you stumble across the unexpected and it captivates and inspires you (with its greatness/otherness/lushness etc). Fabulous, kinetic and fierce -Anita Blay aka Thecocknbullkid is all that and more. Her latest single “I'm Not Sorry” is too deliciously hot for me to bore you with the usual blah blahs (comparing this chanteuse to past artists like Dinah Washington etc) -all I'm going to say is Thecocknbullkid is the 'Next Big Thing'.
