Becky Mantin/Adventure Kid/Paint it Black
Becky Mantin
Becky Mantin has the best hair on TV. Fact.
The former model turned weather goddess has the most amazing haircut, chopped and sculpted like a manga cartoonist designed it she's revolutionising the weather girl hair industry as we speak!
Currently Becky can be seen on ITV weather, prior to that she was an occasional presenter on This Morning (oh the glamour) She's worth more than that though, so watch this space as this is clearly just the beginning of her career....hell, her hair should have it's own show at least!
Adventure Kid
Sometimes things come full circle, back when this blog started I posted a track called I'm from Barcelona by We're from Barcelona here, a wonderful anthem that became the soundtrack to my summer. Well four months on i've found that track reinvented as the soundtrack to my autumn! Adventure Kid has given the happy swedes song the electro pop treatment, vocoderised, thumping, illegible and blip filled, like loading your Comodore 64 on a sunny but windswept afternoon.
Visit Adventure Kid's website here, worth it for the opening tune alone.

Janet Fitch - Paint it Black
Set in and around the 1980's punk rock scene Paint it Black tells the story of Josie Tyrel, a teen runaway and art model, and how she deals with the suicidal end to her relationship with her art student boyfriend Michael. His mother a renowned pianist blames her for everything and slowly as Josie learns to deal with life post Michael she enters into a a twisted and turbulent sharing of loss with her dead partners mother.
Paint it Black is chick lit, but cerebral chick lit, 'Shopoholic buys Prada' this is not.
Janet Fitch debut novel was White Oleander, which was made into a film in 2002 starring Alison Lohman and Michelle Pfeiffer.
