Life Style

I am perspiring profusely. Not the moderate sweat of running for the bus or sitting in the sun on a balmy day. We’re talking droplets making their way down my temple and into my ear, a drenched sports bra, some genuine concern for my hydration levels running through my head. Beyonce’s Ya Ya is thudding out of the speakers, and I realise that while I may still technically be in London, fitness entrepreneur Tracy Anderson has successfully parcelled up her West Coast vim and vigour and delivered it to a subterranean series of marble-bedecked rooms in Surrenne, a wellbeing and longevity members’ club that’s opening in Knightsbridge on April 14, with annual membership at £10k, on top of a joining fee of £5,000.

The hotel’s iconic décor – enhanced most recently with a 2022 redesign by Kemble Interiors – is the epitome of Palm Beach chic. The designers have used a palette that echoes the natural beauty of the area, from the vibrant green palm trees to the blue of the ocean at the beach just a stone’s throw from The Colony’s entrance. It’s a playful, imaginative style that brings a smile to your face at every turn, including new, bespoke de Gournay murals on each floor. Upstairs in the bedrooms you’ll find scalloped headboards, vintage club chairs and maximalist textiles, plus pieces from the shoppable capsule furniture collection created by Society Social for The Colony, made from rattan and faux bamboo.

As speculation swirled over the timing of Fisher and Baron Cohen’s divorce announcement, sources told The Sun that it was, in fact, a long time coming. Perhaps even longer than first thought. “Isla has known for some time the marriage was over, and after some difficult conversations with Sacha, made the decision to consult a divorce lawyer. This was back in early summer, 2022,” the source claimed. Source link

In most cities, they say you’re never more than six feet away from a rat. In London, this is true of Adidas Sambas. With the overpopulation crisis growing and the trainer even seen on the feet of Rishi Sunak, Maddy Mussen suggests some successors Source link

Now, no doubt partially because of the above, you cannot move for political podcasts. They’re everywhere: launching at a rate of about 2,000 a week, feeding off a never-ending Tory psychodrama more can’t-look-away compelling than anything Netflix could ever commission. Will they all survive when politics, come next year, is suddenly quite boring and everyday and Liz Truss isn’t releasing books to take the piss out of and it’s all people doing a reasonably competent job of a job that they also stay in for more than a couple of weeks? Unlikely. We are likely entering the end of this peculiar gold rush and so, with that in mind, let us enjoy these last few pre-election months… and then figure out which ones to keep following no matter what.

On set, using Dior’s Sauvage The Cleanser, The Toner and The Serum, she proved as much. ‘We did so many different looks today — it shows you can change your look completely with your facial hair, from the rugged to that baby face-fresh look.’ She thinks Johnny Depp, famously the face of Dior’s Sauvage, ‘is great. [He has] that kind of earthy quality, but that ruggedness as well is beautiful,’ but has not cut his hair — yet. And what are her three golden rules when it comes to any man set on improving his appearance? ‘The best tip I can offer: take care of your skin, your scalp and get a good scent.’ Source link

A load of old shite that I pay a fortune to store. Name badges, ugly royal memorabilia, a wall of breeze block, a neon motel sign, some old cinema seats, a silicone sculpture of me dressed as ‘Jeff’ (a fictional character from Hello, My Name Is), old cigarette packets, mobile phones, hotel keys, TV guides, religious paraphernalia, fake food, a dry-cleaning unit — the list goes on. This is all with the intention that when I’m dead, someone will stumble upon it and have an exhibition like the one Kubrick had in London; and people will come from far and wide to marvel at my collection of ‘Old Shite’.

New year, new route. For any London Landmarks returners, it’s back to a similar route to 2023 starting on Pall Mall (look out for the red London buses parked up nearby for storing bags) but with the addition of two new landmarks along the way: the Cheesegrater (Leadenhall Building) and The Scapel. The 13.1-mile winding route also passes many of the key landmarks of previous years including Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, Nelson’s Column, the Gherkin, the Shard, the Tower of London and the London Eye.

Taylor-Joy shared a post to Instagram writing, “Two years ago, on April Fools, I secretly married my best friend in New Orleans. The magic of that day is ingrained in every cell of my being, forever. Happy second ( first ) anniversary my love… you’re the coolest N.B yes, those are anatomically correct heart cakes. Yes, I am the vampire Lestat.” Source link
