Up!
Drew Starkey
This week’s heart-throb; the dapper young man who gets Daniel Craig more than hot under the collar in Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, out Friday. Essential viewing.
Pass the port
The Christmas port got cool again, by all accounts. CCing Cockburn’s, a front runner of the renaissance, with their tagline: “Forget formality. There’s fun to be had.” Stock up.
Pocket synthesisers
All the rage among the mini Mark Ronsons in town. Basically small, electronic instruments that might make you seem cool at the pub.
Frozen yogurt towers
The status dessert at Gaia, which is celebrating its one year anniversary, is the candied-walnut pudding. An insta-story must have.
Down…
Mocha Mousse
Pantone’s colour of the year for 2025, “a variation of a soft and warm shade of brown”. Are they manifesting another shitty year?
Winter Wonderland toys
Missing out on a seat on the Piccadilly line because it has been filled by some gargantuan polyester panda is not in the Christmas spirit.
Trump’s fragrance line
First came Britney Spears’s Fantasy and JLo’s Glow. Now Trump has launched his line of $199 perfumes called Fight Fight Fight, “for women who fight to win, with strength and grace.” Stick to Jo Malone.
Robbie Williams… the CGI chimp
What in the Planets of Apes is going on with Williams’s Better Man film? Enough with the biopics for a bit; slebs can’t be trusted with them.
