Poor Taste Mr Brown

Causing much furore over the last few days Chris Brown has hit back at claims his new tattoo is of a battered Rihanna. The then couple had a well publicised domestic violence dispute in 2009.

Brown's PR team have stated the tattoo is "not Rihanna or an abused woman as erroneously reported.". Apparently the tattoo is based from a MAC face chart for the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration. As someone who used to follow MAC releases closely I will vouch that the face does  resemble the standard face shape and eyes on their face charts.

However, and the following point of this 'however' is one of those "end of story you will not change my opinion by any means as I feel strongly" kind of points, it does look like a beaten women. A skull in genderless this, as can been seen in the photo above, is undeniably a women. This is without a doubt poor taste. To be honest I think this tattoo is bad taste for any person have- each to their own. For Chris Brown who has been convicted of domestic abuse this is a disgusting error of judgement. No matter what this tattoo represents, symbolises or is supposed to depict the cold hard truth that no sane person can deny is that it looks like a women with severe injuries.

Anybody who thinks this tattoo is acceptable I do not respect your judgement and will never value your opinion.

Garage/Campus Opening Weekend

New club The Garage opened this weekend with the bar Campus located underneath it. The premises are somewhat nostalgic for me having previously been a gig venue where I've seen many great bands before it was closed when Mama (owned by the HMV Group) closed all their venues under 1000 capacity. Opening on the Friday me and the girls from work went on the Saturday. It was packed hot and sweaty, just how I like it. Almost impossible to get a drink at the bar though. The venue has not changed at all since its gig days, I think it may have been a club back then as well, however I was below drinking age so I never knew it in that capacity.

Top: £30 Brat and Suzie
Skirt: £14.99 H & M
Headband: £15 Accessorize

I discovered the brand Brat and Suzie in More magazine about a year ago I find their animal tops hilarious. A dog, riding a penny farthing ,wearing a top hat and braces? Surreal heaven to my eyes, it's the world I want to live in where the Squirrels wear monocles and everybody has pocket watches. I would have a smashing time ringing my bike bell at my passing doggy friend.

Unfortunately I can't ride a bike. Back to reality, oops there goes gravity.
Garage already run a successful club in Glasgow which I've been to a few times and loved so I was excited for this. Unsurprisingly the drinks in Aberdeen weren't as cheap but were very reasonable and I have heard nothing but great reviews for Campus. Opening in time for freshers week (17th Sept) I hope this club is here to stay.

We were photo-bombed ! None of us know this lad.
