SOPHIE SICKY POOS

Let me begin with a big UGHGHGH! Today I am Sophie SICKY Poos and I am feeling terribly sorry for myself! Sore throat, achy all over - what a nightmare! I did manage to leave the flat once though for a quick errand run. I was deeply heartened by the Halloween Spirit around Portobello! Check out the pumpkins above! LOVE IT!

In other LaPoo's News....YESSSS! Parents were in town last week so got in mucho culture and eating. Went to Frieze Art Fair. Have to say I wasn't blown away. However, it did make for excellent people watching. Check out the girl above. Those Lips! Fake? The Fur? Fake again? The pink LV bag. I think we see where this is going. Of course Mr. LaPoo managed to see a real celeb - apparently Jean Paul Gaultier was making the rounds. Figures I wasn't there to snap a pic. Just like last year at Art Basel when Mr. LaPoo almost ran straight into Kirsten Dunst.  TYPICAL!

As far as outstanding meals go....went to Hereford Road one night. Never disappoints. Same with Taqueria on Westbourne Grove. Two words: FISH TACOS. Also had a lovely evening out of the hood at Giovanni's in Covent Garden. Quite a hidden little gem. It was quintessentially Italian in that the service was atrocious, the food was just fine, the waiter managed to recommend a mediocre wine and we still walked out saying what a CHARMING place. Must go back!
