Welcome to the Little House
DIY Arts and crafts: With craft and creativity becoming ever more popular, two Glaswegian entrepreneurs have opened the city's first dedicated space celebrating all things DIY.
Circus burlesque: Lipstick and Glitter
Anti-fashion: Mookychick Naddy Sane does a neat line in circus burlesque anti-fashion art videos. Please to enjoy her latest, 'Lipstick and Glitter'!
A Day in the Life of Camden Town
Bohemian London: On arriving in Camden Town, see how many flyers for piercing and tattoo studios you are handed on the walk up to the market - at least twenty. That's a lot of body modification for one town. But there is far more to Camden Town than studded belts and tie dye scarves (although if that's what your dark little heart seeks you won't be disappointed).

Shoes in the City - a footwear love affair
Style: Women have always loved shoes - from Cinderella to Carrie Bradshaw. Imelda Marcos was a vile woman who wrecked her country and spunked its money into the ground... But she did have over 2,500 pairs of shoes...
A pocket guide to the swinging sixties

The small things in life
Kitsch Bitch: There are little things in life, aren't there? The things that are just spank, bash, pinch-your-fantastic-ideas, in-your-face, shit happens BAD things. I'm right, right? Well, it ends here! After wallowing in 'woe is me' for a couple of days, weeks, months... you can once again start to delight, at the end of your dropping-toast-butter-side-down days, in the small things in life. Wispa bars, Dita von Teese half moon nails... and, of course, froth on the cappucino...
The modern girl's makeup box
Opinion: Charlotte Kymberley, resident Mookychick agony sister, has roadtested a zillion beauty products since she was 18.

God bless the beauty pioneers!
Feel the burn: The indie craft store workout
Kitsch Bitch blog:
"My other car is a sewing machine." "Don't blame me, I voted for Etsy." The bumper-stickers for indie craft paradise Etsy.com give some idea of the obssessive nature of the craft community. Mr. APassionForFashion says it's not all bad, though - her craft store trips are giving his indie-crafting wife one hell of a workout.
Knee socks: The joy of socks
Knee socks don't have to be the domain of goths or under-twelves. Think fishnets, angora, polka dots... the knee sock is a non-conformist style saviour and can be worn with anything from jeans to skirts to ball dresses to make the world twinkle again...
Kitsch dating in the fifties style
Ruby Mae looks at the powerful connotations of labelling. Don't be afraid to be labelled as a misfit - most people are. But do have the balls to compliment that Plastic on her shoes...
Plastic people can melt, too

Mission statement
Mookychick believes that climbing trees and riding giant turtles is more fun and girly than worrying about make-up. But if you want to worry about make-up instead of turtles? Fine by us. Be you feminist, kitten, punk, emo, indie, goth, witch, vegan, horror junky, intellectual, christian goth, corset queen, geek, unicorn, sea monkey... be you into alternative style, alternative health, spirituality, comics, manga, j-pop, harajuku or jock culture... we will always love you.
