Marieclairvoyant

I have just returned dear Clairvoyant ones from a small holiday in Greece and London a little more nut brown than when I left and much, much calmer. I was wondering through the delights of Spitalfields and Brick Lane on the weekend in London and came upon the United Nude pop up store. My heart went kerthump – clever architecture meets shoe design and moreover the prices where fantastically sale friendly.

United nude was launched in 2003 by Rem D Koolhaas the Dutch architect  and Galahad Clark the British shoe designer and has evolved into a collective of architects, designers, editors, photographers and artists – and they give some really good shoe. Here’s the pair I fell for. It’s called Lo Res and “is part of a new semi-automatic design method …where an object is digitally scanned into a 3D computer model and regenerated into various resolutions. The Lo Res shoe is part of of an automated design revolution.”  Fancy.

Here is a little taster

“I am turning 35 today. As you probably know, 35 is the age when a single woman’s heart explodes like a dream-raisin deferred, and all the petals fall off her vagina and dozens of cats suddenly park themselves in a circle around her cobwebby old hope chest. This is all true. But the one doomsday prediction I thought had kind of evaporated was the idea that after 35 the only baby you can create is the one you see when you pop your Ally McBeal episodes onto the old DVD player. I know plenty of women in their late thirties and early forties who are having happy, healthy, gnocchi-tushed babies. Or at least, I thought I did.” … read more here and tell us what you think should you feel the pressure to freeze your eggs?
