Great night in the #SpyingRoom (really!) of the #MorpethArms pub, opposite MI6, talking about #AgentZo for a sold out @pintsofknowledge gig last night 🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♀️
- Love this photo of #DickWhite, former DG of MI5 & head of XX, the WW2 #DoubleCross spy system, on the stairs,
- Also, the pub sits on the site of an old panopticon prison!
Cheers all!

The only classy way of telling you that we’re bringing back my talk on all things toilets: ‘SANITISED! The Political Past and Present of the Public Toilet’ for @pintsofknowledge on October 14th! 🚽💥

We will be in one of my favourite pubs, the Old Queen’s Head @oldqueenshead, and we will talk about all things loos! Think accessibility, sexism, trans+ rights and lots of toilet graffiti.
I honestly can’t think of a better way to spend your wednesday night. Dress up, dress down, whatever you do, come armed with a sharpie.

See you there!

So today I’m wearing…

A Napoleon style jacket.
I kept everything else very plain to show off the jacket. It is the outfit.
I’m also wearing a simple black long-sleeved T shirt and flared jeans but I did add some bronze effect jewellery to match the jacket buttons.
Did you know that it’s also known as a Hussar jacket?
It was originally worn by officers of the French Empire, hence its name, and later gained popularity throughout the 70s and 80s among artists such as Freddie Mercury and Jimi Hendrix.
Every day is a school day!
I wore it to learn more about street art in Glasgow. It was my first @pintsofknowledge event and it was excellent, prompting the question, “what is art?”.
