One of the first celebrity photographers, David Bailey socialized with many of the cultural icons of the 60s – he lived with Mick Jagger, married the legendary French film actress Catherine Deneuve and had relationships with the models Jean Shrimpton and Penelope Tree. Along with Brian Duffy and Terence Donovan, he was one of the ‘Terrible Trio’ – self-taught East End boys who rebelled against the precious style of fashion portraiture as practiced by society photographers like Cecil Beaton and Norman Parkinson. His own fame was confirmed when director Michelangelo Antonioni used him as inspiration for the character of fast-living photographer Thomas Hemmings in cult film “Blow-Up” (1966). Outside the world of fashion photography, Bailey has pursued numerous personal and commercial projects; documenting the streetscapes of London, photographing the people and places of Havana, Cuba, and producing an intimate series of portraits of model Catherine Bailey, his current wife. He has also created record-sleeve art, feature films, documentaries and around 500 commercials.The vigour and variety of his work has made him the subject of numerous exhibitions, including a major traveling show that opened at the Barbican, London, in 1999 entitled “The Birth of Cool”. This handsome monograph provides an overview of Bailey’s career, including works from key monographs such as his debut “Box of Pin-Ups” (1964) and the controversial series “The Lady is a Tramp” (1995). The book, on a photographer whose reputation only continues to grow, will appeal to all photography enthusiasts and students, and to anyone with an interest in popular culture of the 1960s onwards.

Glider with Aerotow – Flying Experience After your first flight you’ll be hooked on this superb sport. Why?

This light-up noise-up Sabre is as close as you can get to a Galaxy Far Far Away. It’s made of durable plastic and it also has a nice rubberised grip so you don’t drop it mid-battle.Achieve total sci-fi cool – not only does the light-up blade make a powering-up noise when you turn it on it also hums constantly and reacts to your swishing with sound effects – you know the sort. And when you do bash it onto random surfaces the colour of the blade changes between red blue and purple. There’s a wealth of different realistic noises that you can delight in discovering (and a mute button thankfully). The Special FX Sabre is hilarious fun to play about with and all the more enjoyable with two. So if you’re getting one seriously think about who else would want one and if you could take them on in a duel. Certain to become the way in which all office disputes are now resolved.

In “Post Everything”, Luke Haines demonstrates that the only way to survive the tyrannical scourge of Britpop is to become an Outsider. The ‘avant-garde Arthur Scargill’ calls upon the nation’s pop stars to down tools and go on strike. We learn the story of Haines’ post-Britpop art house trio Black Box Recorder (Chas and Dave with a chanteuse), we meet a talking cat, two dead rappers (Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur), a mystical England football manager, and a shady transgender German Professor – exponent of a dangerous and radical ‘Beatles denial’ cult and author of “The Theorem of the Moron” (the most important book about rock that you’ve never heard of). Haines even finds time to write a musical for the National Theatre. Blisteringly funny and searingly scathing, “Post Everything” may quite possibly be the first and only truly surreal comic rock memoir. It even contains a killer recipe for scrambled eggs.
