PHOTO SHOOT

***Calling anyone who has ever shown an interest in Trash of Camden***

Due to the kindness and AWESOMENESS of Miss Samm.m Agnew (http://sammmagnew.com/), there is a very good chance that Trash jewellery will appear in The Sun's glossy Saturday supplement, 'Fabulous', a week on Saturday (18th Feb). I want to take advantage of this rare opportunity for national exposure and organise a photo shoot to post online beforehand... in order to show the best of what I've made in the past 18 months. Therefore, I am asking for anyone available and keen to get involved to get in touch with me asap-I'll need models, photography-literate individuals and general SUPPORTERS. Also if anyone fancies filming any of it for a little showreel (and has the relevant recording equipment to do so) then that would be fantastic!

Due to my work schedule, the shoot will hopefully take place on this Saturday or Sunday somewhere in Camden Town. I can be available both days. I'm really keen to avoid the main strip down Camden High Street (especially since it's a weekend) so am hoping to situate it in one of the communal parks. Saying that, it would be nice to have a couple of group shots down by the Lock though.

I know it's late notice but I would be so so grateful of any help. Absolutely no experience necessary, only enthusiasm. Details to follow, please get in touch if you're interested.

Muchest of love,

Kate Trash

THE VAGENDA

I'm extremely excited to be part of a brand new collaborative project called The Vagenda which aims to look at the way women are represented in the media.

Check it out at http://vagendamag.blogspot.com/#!/

It was launched late last night (6th February) and this first selection of articles should lay down the gauntlet for what the editorial team is getting at by establishing this forum for writing and photography/images. Some photography articles like 'Stock Photos of Women Looking Remorseful After Sexual Encounters' are not a far cry away from the realms of VICE magazine. Then again, regular feature, 'American Apparel Ad or Porn?' promptly dumps all over any possible 'hipster' vibes you might get from the blog's content. Personally, I love the way that the design of the blog mimics the cutesy colour schemes of certain womens' magazines like Glamour, or indeed 'Glameurgh' as The Vagenda has rechristened it.

I'm told that the impetus behind The Vagenda all stemmed from two friends' all-too valid understanding that women's magazines rarely if ever seem to address things that real women or indeed, more widely, real people, actually care about. The word 'vagenda' was spotted by one of our editorial team as a terrible composite term used to describe a driven female's ambitions. (For a hilarious and yet biting insight into the linguistic epidemic that is the tendency to 'create one word when two (or none) will do', check out Natalie Cox's 'Chiktionary Corner').

Angry and frustrated by the way that not only language but feminity is becoming increasingly marginalised and pigeonholed within this widespread and wholly demeaning phraseology in the media, it was thought that something had to be done so The Vagenda was set up as a means to 'sift through the shit'. 

For a far more eloquent and erudite call-to-arms about The Vagenda's 'agenda', check out original 'Letter from the Editor'.



I'm hoping that my own contributions will look predominantly at the position of women in music and art but I'm aiming to produce other articles too. My first piece is a short essay called, 'Cut: Revising the Influence and Legacy of The Slits'.

At any rate, I'm so honoured to be a member of The Vagenda's editorial team and thoroughly encourage people to have a look at the diverse and genuinely impressive array of material that's been uploaded thus far.
