Room 23 is a photography book by Diana Jenkins, photographed by Deborah Anderson. Proceeds of the book go to The International Human Rights Project. The images portray a year in the life of a Beverly Hills hotel penthouse suite, featuring 100 big name celebrities. I adore the images in this book, and what a good cause!!

About an hour ago the results of The Turner Prize 2010 was announced. What a fucking farce! The winner is Susan Philipsz, a Scottish artist who works with sound. She is the first sound artist to win the Turner Prize. Philipsz’s room in this year’s Turner prize exhibition at Tate Britain consisted of her recorded voice singing the 16th-century traditional Scottish song, “Lowlands Away”.

I’m not saying Philipsz doesn’t deserve to win, but there are so many more people who should have won. For example, Angela de la Cruz, who was one of the 3 runner-ups. A Spanish artist who suffered a brain haemorrhage. While in a coma for several months, she gave birth to her daughter. Her recovery has been slow and is unlikely to be complete. Her works show her struggle through her beautiful, destroyed canvases. Her work is deep while at the same time showing a strong sense of humour, as she calls her works “Paintings behaving badly”.

So. There we go. The winner was annouced. That’s it for another year. Ridiculous.

Thoughts?

I never got anything from Wildfox, and don’t know anyone who has. However, that doesn’t stop me looking at their website and lookbooks all the time and wanting everything I see! The it’s new lookbook Wildfox has re-created the Marie Antoinette with an up-to-date twist.

Unless you have lived in a cave for the past few months, you will have heard that Lanvin has created a collection for H&M. Well, just incase you missed it, peep it here. Plus below is the most bestest advert ever.
