Next Week's TV Choices

Posted on by

Seven days of mental cooks, singing and dancing high schoolers and thousands of runners awaits as I take a look at what is worth tuning in for next week.

Monday 19th – One of my favourite shows…of course this is mainly due to the competitions they have every week, The Gadget Show (ch5 20.00) will be keeping us all up to date in the world of tech and presenter Jon Bentley will be seeing what all the fuss is about with the new Apple iPad.

Tuesday 20th – you know that old Homerism ‘a hundred channels and theres nothing on’ never a truer word was spoken about Tuesday’s TV, unless your able to fill your day with music channels (Scuzz, my personal favourite) tune into Channel 4 at 21:00 for Heston’s Titanic Feast, a cookery show that doesn’t try to teach us anything or tell what we should be eating. This week, nutjob Blumenthal will be serving up Antarctic Roll, Camel Burger and a flambéed Iceberg.

Wednesday 21st – Three words…Planes, Trains and Automobiles, if you haven’t seen this I pity you, 20:00 on SkyMovies Comedy this film follows two men trying to get home for Thanksgiving an stars the greatly missed John Candy and Steve Martin when he was still funny.

Thursday 22nd – Now when writing this I planned on giving all you lovely readers one programme per day that you should see, Thursday threw up a conundrum, ‘You Have Been Watching’, channel 4 22:00, presented by the outstandingly cynical Charlie Brooker with a panel including Robert Webb, Jason Manford and Sharon Horgan review the highs and lows of the tellybox whereas over on channel Dave at 22.20 we find episode 6 of the excellent Psychoville….but I suppose theres always Dave ja vu!

Friday 23rd – 20:00…channel 4…GLEE….that’s all you need to know about Friday.

Saturday 24th – To all those who are fans of the Doctor (which I include myself one of) the answer as to whether Matt Smith is as good or better than David Tennant as Doctor Who is still unanswered, although at 18:20 on BBC1 we may find out as the Doctor once again meets the too-scary-for-a-kids-show Weeping Angels, and if your not as much of a geek as me then head over to SkyMovies Showcase at 20:00 for Jack Nicolson’s brilliant performance (and the sinister Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched) in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.

Sunday 25th – Ahh The London Marathon, an epic event pushing people to the limits of fitness, reaching their goals and achieving their dreams, London will be awash with runners, cameras, spectators and discarded water bottles and thanks to BBC1 from 10:00 onwards we can have the best seats in the house, presented by the delightful Sue Barker it gives another chance to play Marathon bingo, man dressed as Nun (tick), three people running as a boat (tick) a Rhino(…)

Emesha launches new collection at Estethica

Emesha is being heralded as the exciting, new sustainable brand to watch – and the collection will be shown for the first time in the UK at Estethica at London Fashion Week.

Emesha is the sporty-luxe label for the woman who does not want to compromise on style and quality. Experimental pattern cutting, draping and crisp tailoring techniques are combined to create clean silhouettes and feminine looks.

The covetable AW10 collection combines strong masculine and ultra feminine elements, representing the ever changing emotions of a woman – with inspiration coming from the emotional extremes of love and hate, happiness and sadness, soft and rough. These feelings are reflected in the mix of shapes, colours and fabrics, combining draping with cutting edge tailoring to all blend into a visually balanced collection.

The collection includes masculine pieces such as cargo pants and romantic feminine draping, with little black dresses to compliment the daywear pieces, all worn rough for an urban chic look. The colour palette includes khakis, blacks, greys, beiges and a touch of bright pink in a range of fabrics from soft silks to hard woolens.

Expert production skills result in a collection with superior attention to detail and the highest standard of quality, a veritable abundance of playful but wearable pieces.

Emesha Nagy founded her label Emesha in 2008 having graduated from the London College of Fashion in 2006 and was selected to show her graduate collection at the Swatch Alternative Fashion Week in London. Her previous experience includes working with Vivienne Westwood and Jasper Conran.

The Emesha label was launched in the United States at Nolcha Fashion Week, New York to exceptional reviews and Emesha Nagy noted as a “One To Watch” by Nolcha.

Emesha is fully committed to environmental and social responsibilities. The fabrics used are 100% natural, therefore fully bio-degradable. The brand’s mission is to always source new eco-friendly fabrics, use sustainable materials and recycle as much as possible. They aim to use recycled paper for letterheads and labels, and promote e-brochures to save paper waste.

Are you an Owl?

Posted on by

Owls. We all know them: pissy little hooters that flutter about at night, caning it on mice and relaying letters for wizards. But are you an owl? Or do you know someone who might be? It’s a growing problem, as our exclusive survey of people and owls showed: fewer than 40% of people who thought they might not be an owl were wrong.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Since 1990 there’s been a forty-fold uptick in owls who don’t know they’re people – a figure that’s more than halved in that time.

So what can you do if you think you might be an owl? First, you should know the warning signs. Can you rotate your head through more than 180° Celsius? Are you blind when you’re born? Can you see in the dark? Do you ever fly into a room, then realise you can’t remember why? If your answer to all of these questions was a piercing screech, you could be an owl.

But there’s no need to feel ashamed. Where once owls were considered second-class citizens, today they’re a staple of fashionable clubs and clothiers, with stars from Alexander Armstrong to Zinedine Zidane lining up to sing the praises of our tawny friends. So thus summer, don’t wear a frown — wear a fr“owl”n!

Glee : Road to Sectionals DVD Launch at Lucky Voice

Posted on by

Two of the Frost Magazine team went along to the Glee DVD Launch. Catherine gives her brilliant rundown of the event:

When I found out I would be going along to the launch of the highly anticipated DVD of Glee: Road to Sectionals I could barely contain my, well, glee. This dissipated somewhat when I released they expected me to sing. Actually sing. Yes , I know it was being held at the amazing and uber cool Lucky Voice but I thought I would be able to just watch everybody else make fools of themselves. No such luck. After a few cocktails. This is what happened….

I arrive at Lucky Voice in Islington and am promptly given a rather wonderful cocktail called “Soho Love” I highly recommend it. It even comes with a love heart sweet. I am less happy, however, when told I have no choice but to sing for my booze. Ah well. They say nothing is free. I am then taken to one of the Lucky Voice rooms.

After the initial terror I do have an absolutely amazing time. Everybody let’s there hair down singing along to all the best songs from Glee. Vanilla vodka & coke slurpees are brought in and there is even a Glee clubhouse prop box so you can dress up with. My friend Blake looks amazing in the blonde wig while Genevieve is awesome on the tambourine.

All the hits from the show are played and you can very easily skip between them as well. Don’t stop believing is a particular hit. If you want a fun night out then I highly recommend Lucky Voice. It was founded by Martha Lane Fox. Even if you hate karaoke you will these nights. Find your nearest and have a gleeful night. Go ahead and jump.

The highly anticipated DVD of Glee: Road to Sectionals hits shops on 12 April 2010 and to celebrate Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has teamed up with premium karaoke bar Lucky Voice to produce the ultimate Glee karaoke night.

With costs from just £20 per person prepare for an unforgettable Glee experience:

London – Sun to Wed £20 per person; Thurs – Sat £24 per person

Brighton – Sun to Wed £18 per person; Thurs – Sat £22 per person
