smurf graffiti & kissing policemen

I was looking through some holiday snaps & I found this picture that I took in Brighton England. My young cousins were kind enough to take me on a tour of the north lanes to show me a Banksy & this great Smurf graffiti by an unknown artist. Gargamel appears to be wearing some kind of raver shades.

The famous kissing policemen is painted on an old wall in a side lane in Brighton, nestled next to a light pole & a bank of bins. The painting has been covered with plexi glass to protect it from thieves. I'm not sure how its done but apparently people have been chipping Banksy street art off of walls & selling it for a lot of money.

Vintage shopping in the north lanes of brighton England


I totally have my eye on the ice skates in this window display, they would go great with the faux fur display hat & the purple cape.

I was very taken by the stuffed frogs sewn on the shoulder of this dress. I think the name tag says Ernesto.


This display of vintage shoes is like a big bowl of eye candy to me.


Will cowboy boots ever go out of fashion? they are totally versatile, I'm told you can wear them with dresses, shorts & jeans. They look totally hot with a nice bikini & big movie star sun glasses if you are a skinny pop star.
