Lowkey - 'Terrorist?'

Lowkey is relentless. So much respect for this dude. The first time I saw him live he joined Drew McConnell from Babyshambles and I remember wishing Drew would just exit the stage and let Lowkey finish off the set (I wasn't there to see Mr McConnell in the first place, he was the support act). His speech at the Hip Hop History panel for the Octavia Foundation a few weeks back was mad inspiring and if his ridiculous Facebook stats are indicative of his potential for visibility and success, he'll get the bigger platform he deserves.

"The Lesbian Russ Meyer"


I'm on a diet of Vit C and Potter's cough remedy but I fully intend to make it down to The Horse Hospital this Saturday to attend this: http://www.thehorsehospital.com/now/the-gang-girl-film-trilogy/


BBC World Have Your Say @ Southbank

Wears The Trousers HQ were invited down to take part in the interactive radio show World Have Your Say yesterday. The debate was geared around the failing Millennium Development Goals and whether women should take responsibility for ongoing inequality. It was held at Southbank and curated by Jude Kelly OBE, who was all kinds of inspiring. I didn't actually get any mic time - partly out of shyness and partly because the peeps of London Feminist Network were saying most of what I was thinking - but you should totes check it out anyway: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p009nmcx

Shere Hite was there. I had no idea who she was until today, but I liked her white gloves and the way she said what she thought and felt on air with no apology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shere_Hite
