More Madonna

March 19, 2016

I recently found some more Japanese first pressings.

  • Paul McCartney - Give My Regards To Broadstreet (CP32-5458)
  • Toto - Dune Original Soundtrack (P33P 50011)
  • Madonna - True Blue (32XD-449)
  • Madonna - Like A Virgin (32XD-102)
  • Madonna - Self Titled (32XD-318)
  • Van Halen - 5150 (32XD-435)
  • Tears For Fears - Shout (32PD-37)

I also bought the new Clark album The Last Panthers from Warp Records.

I'm looking for photographs of vintage supermodel Gail Elliott but there don't seem to be that many out there.

Migrant Graveyard

March 19, 2016

A distrubing piece from the BBC today.

This year alone, more than 360 migrants have died attempting to cross the sea between Turkey and Greece. Last year was the deadliest on record for people drowning in the Mediterranean. Some of the bodies get washed ashore in Turkey, and many are never identified.

In the last six months, more than 100 bodies have been laid to rest in a cemetery in Izmir.

Friday

Second one down. Only one more visit and I am done.

A very nice bottle of vintage Chanel Egoiste Platinum arrived today. A sealed 100 ml bottle. Very happy.

Had a twitter message from the supermodel Josie Borain. She was one of the most iconic faces of the 1980s. I've been trying to find her book and without much luck I decided to reach out to her.

First of the last

March 17, 2016

Finished at the first of the three today. It didn't end so badly. Two children (Takata Hinata & Hamamaki Shiho) got upset when they heard the news. I was surprised at that. Maybe I made more of an impression than I thought.

Tomorrow, I finish at another school.

Midweek

March 16, 2016

Spending the evening on resumé writing and letters. I am not really used to writing in Open Office so it's a little slow getting things formatted exactly how I would like it.
