Last night, we invited our favourite UK bloggers to HQ for a night of dressing up and photo taking! Not only was it really lovely to meet everyone but what could be better than a night full of yummy canapés, amazing outfits and silly poses? After having a good look at all the exciting pieces about to land, our lovely bloggers wandered through the Arcadia photo booth to find an unexpected room packed with all the latest pieces from our AW09 collections. Yes, The Chronicles of Narnia was the inspiration behind that one! Having played dress-ups and styled up their favourite pieces,Alistair Guy was on hand to take everyone's photos. Armed with an array of props, there was some super-cute posing! Take a look at a few of our favourite pics and check out our Facebook page for more.

With the popularity of the Twilight movies, it's come to my attention that lots of young girls want to pork vampires. Teenagers are lusting after Robert Pattinson—who by the way—has a ridiculous last name. Just change it to Patterson and make it easier on everybody. What is all the fuss about? That guy really does look like a vampire. They probably hired him just so they could save money on pale makeup. As a woman who has slept with more than her fair share of idiots and guys who look bad in daylight, I would like to offer some words to these horny young girls: When you're a teenager, most guys you date are dry-humping morons. Let's not make it more complicated by lusting after guys who sleep all day and then wake up only wanting to suck on your neck. That's what college is for. There are two things I stay away from: vampires and animation. I don't like anything not rooted in fact. I won't even eat Count Chocula cereal, but that's because of a black gym teacher I had intercourse with.

Facebook will not allow BitchBuzz.com to have a Vanity URL, but they'll allow groups about rape, beating your wife and hating women to exist. Inconsistancy doesn't even begin to cover it.

The Guardian have a lovely little feature on Kidston, describing how after being diagnosed with Breast Cancer, Kidston quit the interior design business and started up what we know now as Cath Kidston Inc.

“It’s got this perfect combination of content that’s female oriented, but it’s got this geeky-gadget-fashion-sex-feministy sort of awesome energetic feel to the entire site and I absolutely adore it.”

Other times it's because they're self absorbed dick heads who clearly don't understand that every time they announce what perfect thing they're doing with their perfect boyfriend or girlfriend, that the Internet simultaneously barfs in its mouth. 

Do you ever get that feeling when you run into someone that you haven't seen for a while and clearly their attitude towards you has changed for the worse?It's easy to brush that uneasy feeling under the carpet. "Oh, I'm just being silly. _____ knows me! Why would they be weird with me when I haven't even seen them for a long time?"But then that uneasy feeling explodes in your face when said person suddenly goes, "So. I hear you hate Carol/slept with George/told Jenny you never want to see her again and then called her a Fat Demonic Bitch?"Um, hello personal information!It's a really odd feeling when you suddenly realize you're in the presence of someone who has been told complete bullshit about you. And when private details or rumours about you suddenly are brought to light by an acquaintance, friend or sometimes someone you don't even know, it can hit you like a ton of bricks. Especially if it's happened more than once.
