Notion Magazine: Issue 56

This one’s a beaut. Although really, every issue is. 

The last issue had the fantastic Azari & III on the cover, this time it’s the equally fantastic Niki & The Dove:

Oh and this is something I wrote:

Christmas jumpers, a free bar, and a rubber vagina.

SO. Last night was the evening of the eagerly anticipated Notion Christmas party.

We all gathered in the office for a few glasses of wine/G&Ts and a general chinwag, before heading over to our standard pub, Mason & Taylor, where we had a candlelit table and buffet reserved for us downstairs. So we ate, had a few rounds, and opened our Secret Santa prezzies which were highly amusing. Somebody gave a rubber vagina (yes, these exist), which proceeded to be scrutinized and thrown around. I personally, love my Secret Santa, because they bought me this:

(They know me well; both the Anadin and Marlboro’s have been used today alone.)

Then we had a painstakingly long one minute walk next door to Rich Mix, which was the most unusual venue I’ve ever been to. As we stepped out the lift, we arrived at a “road” painted on the floor where women were clad in burlesque style bras and a headdress shaking their thangs all over the place to some congo drums and stuff. Then we walked past some policemen/women with some orangey/yellowy pineapple-garnished cocktails on a tray, and THEN arrived in a room that smelt like rubber. All kinds of “food” were served in mini American-style-chinese-takeaway boxes - fish pie, a pork bun, churros… 

It was an unusual evening to say the least. But it was great fun, the music eventually livened up and I loved seeing everyone and had a great laugh. I do, however, have an immense hangover thanks to this wristband…

…which meant “FREE BAR!”, and I recently discovered a massive bruise on my arm the size of a tennis ball, and no I don’t know why. 

NOW FOR THE REALLY IMPORTANT SHIZ:

The new issue of Notion is out now, with Azari & III on le cover. It’s aweseome.

Go buy, go read, go love. Thanks.
