Play with the city - glasgow

It can be found on bus stops, train stations, on bathroom walls and on the outside of your front door. No I’m not talking about smeared human excrement; I’m talking about Street Art… also known in my vocabulary as; drum roll please- Graffiti.

Scotland saw its first ever “high profile” Street Art exhibition last Saturday and Sunday (6th and & 7th December) being organised by Fusion. The ticketed exhibition incorporated live art creations as well as having art pieces that were for sale. It was organised as part of a major fundraising campaign to raise funds for the well known charity, The Prince’s Trust. “Yeah” always good to do your bit!

Taking place at SWG3 Studio Warehouse in Glasgow, the exhibition showcased the work of some of the UK’s top street artists including Elph, Smug and Gazmac as well as some young emerging talent who work within the media of spray art, illustration, stencil, photo realism, and character depictions. I was there with my Gok Wan looky-likey mate Jonny and a host load of other trendy art critics.

The Street art was amazing and I found some things that really went together. I’m not talking Bread and Butter, toast and Jam. Tequila and weeklong hangovers etc. It would appear that cute boys in skinny white jeans, checked lumberjack shirts and spray cans are also a good partnership. Both turning out some spray can style on the streets and working hard to create some of the hottest Art works in Glasgow’s factory galleries.

The DJ played works till 1pm along with a bar full of red bull and vodka. It was a top night and a big event for Glasgow.

Along with fluttering my eyelashes and pushing the best lines, I never even got a snog from Sam Bates AKA Smug… gutted.

Hopefully Fusion will host another event so I can wear my wonder bra, let’s hope!

If you could see my poor feet—a blistered, corned, scarred mess of impenetrable calluses—you would wonder what the fnck is wrong with the brain of the girl attached to them for subjecting herself to the torture of a pair of five-inch heels that were as expensive as they are uncomfortable. But it’s not my fault—blame the line I stood waiting in to enter one of Glasgows trendiest night clubs November.
Situated in Princes Square; November has an atmosphere where all the kids are hipper-than-hip, ice cool indie babes, with immaculate style, and an impeccable taste in music. An ails of being a café/restaurant during the day turning into a wine bar and cocktail party at night. With a shoulder rubbing crowd, and DJ’s on the dance floor November equates itself to being one of the top venues to party in within Glasgow’s City centre.
November buzzes vibe with its young fans and its resident and guest DJs well into the early hours of the morning. Closing at 1am it allows minimal standing time at the taxi rank outside as you nurse your feet after a hard night of dancing with five- inch heels on and a stylish cocktail in hand.

Coming soon!
