Muse and Views.....Inspirational people and moments .

Angelina designs and launches a transparent face shield to assist the deaf.

A Mask of the Future...for the World of Today.

"I couldn't hear my brides and they couldn't see themselves so I set about solving the problem.This is what we came up with... A totally new concept in face covering. A hybrid, bridging the gap between mask and shield, to take us from virtual crowds to real connections. A mask of the future for the world of today. 

From me to you ...VYZA"

Tim Walker at the V & A

​

The incredible work of photographer Tim Walker is currently on exhibition at the V & A museum , London.

​

Titled 'Wonderful Things', it takes you through his uniquely creative process of imagining and creating the scenes for his work.  Often chaotic and surreal, his passion for his subject is never in doubt. This exhibition also includes 10 new commissions drawing on the archive from the V&A’s unique collection.

The Wizard of Oz - 80 Year anniversary

​

Incredible to think that 80 years ago Judy Garland immortalised the role of Dorothy in this MGM colour spectacular. Only 16 years old when she made the film and fitted with a corset to hide her bust! Despite 5 failed marriages and heart break through out her life Fred Astaire described her as "The greatest entertainer who ever lived".

Asylum Steampunk Festival

​

What started out as a science fiction sub-genre back in the 70s has now grown to a full blown subculture today. Drawing its inspiration from19th century industrial steam powered machinery and the works of H G Wells (The Time Machine) and Jules Verne (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea), the look is distinctive, elegant and Victorianesque. The largest festival of its kind is this weekend at Lincoln Castle
