Now
don't say you've been missing our daily treats already dear
readers? Well, even junkies need a vacation from the hard stuff,
but like all true addicts, we can't resist tickling your inbox
buds with our weekly Summer bumper fixes every Monday. Packed
with a feature, picks for what's on during the week, and two
great pieces of writing - one from the present, and one flashback
from the UJ archives - it's got everything you need to get through
the next few days until our Weekend Guide hits you on Thursday.

Age
is all the rage. Or at least that's what I tell myself, as I
lie poolside on the roof of Shoreditch House, sipping a glass
of chardonnay, reminiscing about the sweaty raves, impromptu
warehouse parties and three-night debauches that I used to revel
in.
How did this sudden pseudo-sophistication happen? I used to
be known for getting pizzy on free beer backstage at things
like Field
Day (to which I did not receive my press tickets this year),
not fighting back man-tears at the opening
night of Piaf (to which, thankfully, I did receive my unjust
press desserts). Not that I would have gone to Field Day mind.
Nowhere to get a good Old Fashioned.
So instead, post-Piaf, I took up the opportunity to check out
the newly opened members' bar at the photo studio palace, Spring.

STYLE & DESIGN :
All About Me
A boy I dated once admitted he just want to date a girl version of himself. At the time, it sounded, well, a little conceited. And also a little sad - don't settle so low, buddy.
But, to be fair, navel-gazing culture has reached epic levels, with everyone from your lawyer to postman penning a novel (read: autobiography).
