So I finally saw Hollywood Costume at the V&A after narrowly getting tickets on the last night! Despite the hilariously schmaltzy captions reading: 'the designer must know who the character really is ' (you're telling us the obvious), it was a very interesting exhibition. I was like wow, I'm within a few feet of Indiana's whip, Dorothy's slippers and Keanu's funny leather outfit.  Among some other great ones was The actual Darth Vader suit, (ahhh) Audrey's Breakfast at Tiffany's iconic dress and Austin Power's velvet suit with the frilly lace cravat. But of course that was not it. I also popped in to the ultimate cookie shop, Ben's cookies. They make the cookie of all cookies. The cookies are a treat, with a cakey texture and doughy centre. So as you do, I enjoyed them afterwards with a cuppa using the gloriously intellectual Wuthering Heights mug.
