Review/Recensie: LM Lhana Marlet & Marije de Haan 26-30 January 2011, Westergasfabriek, Amsterdam This post comes a little left-field as I don’t profess to be any sort of Fashionsta.

Perquisite & friends | Patronaat, Haarlem
REVIEW/RECENSIE: Perquisite & friends – Patronaat, Haarlem 21 January 2011 Perquisite has been around for some time now, but I’ve known him since the days of Pete Philly & Perquisite.

Lately when I ask my friends to jot down an important date, they whip out their iPhone and go tap tap tap and it’s done. For those stone age creatures out there like me (am I a freak for not having an iPhone?), I prefer and take pride in my paper diary. No, not my...
