Horseshoes and Handgranades...I mean, Hookahs & Haircuts, Horses too.

Went to the fun and fabulous Camden Town this weekend!  Camden is well known for its MARKETS!  Surprised?!  There are 6 different markets that make up Camden Town each having its own unique style.  We began our journey at  "Coco Bamboo" ~ Caribbean grill type food.  I met my first new friend, Ryan here.  He's a 5 year young Italian boy.  He spoke 5 languages!  His mom works for TripAdvisors and gave us some great tips and information for our upcoming Italy trip.
The Stables was the largest and most colorful of the markets.  Selling clothing from cyber, goth to vintage.  It's a big and beautiful converted Victorian Horse Hospital!

Fun Fact:  Amy Winehouse grew up and lived in Camden Town.  She is a regular visitor.  Charles Dickens, also a onetime resident.

They rent the horse stalls for parties, each differently themed.  I posed as a photographer for the paper in order to capture these photos:

Boy band, I'd say.
Stripper pole stall.

Reprise for hookah time...In the tent~












Lots of entertainment!  GREAT band!
Good Times

Camden Lock is the jewel of Camden town.  Cold Play recently performed here.  ("you know how I know you're gay?!?") (40 year old virgin!)

Kids hanging out, playing scrabble, drinking beer, eating olives and discussing life?!  The boy on the right is a Harvard grad, Philosophy Major~Go figure.
There was a unique underground record store~ specialising in healing, relaxation and serious mind altering electronic music.  A mind/body/spirit bookshop and an organic coffee juice bar.
Ended the night at a rooftop beer garden~

Time for a new do!!!  I like to mix it up in England.  London Fashion Weekend is here!  Stylists are here from all over the world for this mega event!  Went back to Toni & Guy Academy and was assigned an adorable Malaysian 8 year stylist/magician!  Chastine was in the mood to create!  I was definitely up for the challenge. 
 Here's how that went down~

TA DAAAAA! (5 more inches in height, 40 less lbs, I'm ready for the runway!)
SEE YA!
