thanks guys. this is really encouraging feedback. interestingly, the sales i made on my first day yesterday were all to non argentines. the san telmo market is limiting for me though, in contrast to east london, as on brick lane, pretty much everyone was my target audience. yesterday there were...

i will keep everyone posted/informed as and when the sales start/location etc. ashley, thanks for the interest.

citygirl, i will be starting a website for deluxe vintage and doing a couple of sales with a friend of mine hopefully as of this month. the idea would be a pop up boutique with cupcakes etc and music. we will sort out an event page on facebook and set the advertising/self promotion wheels in...

my dad is an olympian fencer and i myself was about to join GEBA this week. i always felt i would be in his shadow if i took it up but my desire to do it is greater. will let you know how i get on. i know beginners fencing is on a friday evening but level 1 (whatever that means) is from 20.15 -...

faina is essentially just chickpea flour mixed with water and a dash of olive oil, salt and pepper and cooked in the oven when it 'sets'. i used to make it back in the UK and it tasted pretty faithful to the faina i've bought and eaten here from pizzerias. i thought i would also mention my...

i have been SO lucky in that thus far, all the films i've seen have been not just good but exceptional. the standards at this festival are set high. i bought 30 tickets but i am struggling - yesterday i was hungover and sleep deprived so missed two films but will list what i HAVE seen so far -...

i think you'll actually find that if you are walking round more residential ('de barrio') and less 'touristy' areas such recoleta, providing you are not dressed like a prime chump you will on the whole be fine walking in the early hours of the morning and not encounter much in the way of hassle...

i'd say look for the tholem spreadable cheese brand which you'll find along side the casan crem and mendicream and other cream and cheese spreads. i remember thinking it reminded me of a softer version of la vache qui rit, and has a similar aftertaste.

en mi opinion es un buen articulo, habla de un tema duro - whichever way you dress it up. forma parte de una realidad de lo que esta ocurriendo en argentina, aunque lo quieras ocultar. me parece que el periodista lo escribio de una manera informativa y sin exajerar los hechos. yo soy anglo...

i've always been tempted to get one up on them and call their bluff but don't have the balls, mainly because i fear the outcome if it backfires. when they say things like 'te quiero cojer/ay mamita/que tetas que tenes/fill blank as appropriate, nonchalantly turn around and say, 'come on then...
