At the weekend, my sisters and I took my brother out clubbing. He’s just turned 18 and wasn’t sure what to expect. Being the youngest and only boy in our household, he’s been mollycoddled a lot by my mum. She kept nagging him to eat before we went out and told him not to drink anything. She seems to have...

Nicki Minaj had a massive year in 2014. With everyone talking about her big ol’ butt (her words), which was in full view – literally – across the media, it was pretty hard to ignore her.

I first met Audrey when I was on the search for an artist to collaborate with on our new ebook Smash it!. I immediately connected with her work. I mean, I couldn’t stop talking about it – these wacky pictures of girls with swirls of colour on their faces – there was just something so emotive about her style.

So I didn’t fulfil my plan of spending this New Year’s somewhere awesome, outside of my home town and not going into panic mode about where to go and how to spend it. In fact, this year my New Year’s Eve will most likely be spent in my house, trying to stay awake until midnight whilst munching on a takeaway. There is... Read the rest of this post...

I sat sulking last Saturday evening feeling like a mix of Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch. It was five days before Christmas and my holiday spirit was nowhere to be found.
