Going up!
Lucy Bevan
She oversees the sprog-to-Hollywood pipeline, and is currently casting HBO’s new £1.5billion Harry Potter series (ie: star making). Audition tapes need to be in by October 31. If you see her, buy her a pint.
Wallpapered bedrooms
Lots to take away from Tracey Emin’s show at the White Cube Bermondsey. An interiors note you might have missed: Chintz floral wallpaper behind her bloodied bed. To Liberty…
Marmite mushroom shish
John Javier has launched “a menu free of the boundaries of set cuisine” at The Tent (at the End of the Universe). Hold eye rolls until you try the mushroom shish with Marmite glaze, then try serve it up at home. It’s the hottest starter in town.
Heathrow
Louis Vuitton is bringing a little more Regent Street to TW6. God’s work, really. It has just opened its first LV London café in Terminal 2 with French celebrity chef Cyril Lignac.
Going down...
London tornadoes
Honestly. Having read the tail-end of Hurricane Kirk will “batter” us and “isolated tornadoes are possible” I wonder, what more can we take? They can’t keep Saturday getaway trains running at the best of times.
Shackets
Following tornado-gate, we are now in “trans seasonal” dressing territory. It’s balmy and, by mid-afternoon, flooded. Don’t bother with shirt-jackets. Take your winter coat on and off.
Immersive art experiences
“Have you ever dreamt of stepping into a painting?” asks the £20 Van Gogh show. No. Ditto stepping into a sweaty tent with crying infants and 24-year-olds on mushrooms. Petition to ban these in town.
Dad bangs
Daniel Craig is doubling down on a new midlife man flex: growing his locks bob length. I pity poor Rachel Weisz, who didn’t sign up for this.
