Nan Goldin: Arles…cannot wait! xc

Goldie Hawn: My heroin

Photogeek: http://www.squareamerica.com/

Stefania Paparelli: ‘No such thing as Heather Fields’ try and google it! Pretty pretty, moody moody. Guna get on a train from Arles and find some of these wonderful phenomenon’s. Lavender- doh! Heh heh.




Florence & the Machine: I’m all about the piccas
Tracey Emin:
Egon Schiele: ‘What Klimt wasn’t brave enough to be’

Ballad Of…The Picture Junkie - That is alllll I am…obsessed with the visual

Playsuits…

Don’t we all look like 7 foot tall super models when we slip on our all-in-ones?

The Catwalk shows us how it is done… but, personally, I live in denial that my 5,6″ frame can carry them off.

The world is divided into two kinds of people: those who have tattoos, and those who are afraid of people with tattoos.

When Barbie gets her first tattoo, we know the world has changed. The outrage of parents was heard “Whatever will they bring out next? Drug addict Barbie? Alcoholic Barbie?”

“Tattoos are common and if it leads girls to get one, they might regret it for the rest of their lives.”
“It is dumbing right down - Barbie should be at the high end of fashion not the chav end.”
Is this really what tattoos mean today? Chav, common, drug addicts? I think not.
The idea of a tattoo clad person has changed from a rebellious, trouble maker in to a creative thinker. Hoag Levins explains more http://www.tattooartist.com/history.html
Phone: Check, Purse: Check, Tattoo: Check…
Welcome to the newest must have accessory:


Conclusion: The world is divided into two kinds of people: those who have tattoos, and those who are afraid of people with tattoos. Clearly the frenzied mothers who are distraught with Barbie’s new look, fall under the later. In their eyes, making anyone with a tattoo, scum. Soc an we call Victoria Beckham a narcotic-taking-common-chav? Well maybe, yes but that’s not to do with her tats is it? Discuss.

Welcome to Ballad Magazines music blog! Here we’ll have tips, ideas, links, mp3s and general Ballad thoughts about music.

Ballad is a magazine which aims to be a platform for new talent of all kinds. That is why there is so much random stuff in the magazine. There is basically 1 rule - the work must be good and must be interesting.

You will be able to get issue 1 Ballad Of Mary Maud eminently.

In the music section we have stuff about the record shop crisis, about indie label Art Goes Pop, a discussion of the New Reality for the music industry, your chance to get free music (great music!) from Ten Tracks with a guest curator… we also have tips for new bands - including the raucous Pulled Apart By Horses and the pop sensibilities of Stricken City…

We also have reviews for you!

If you’re interested in writing for ballads music pages, then drop us a message - it’s all about new blood in every sense: [email protected]
