We LOVE The Skinny

We do. It's true. We really do love The Skinny. It's Scotland's cutting edge culture magazine - what's not to like about that? We like Scotland and and we sure do enjoy engaging with culture and cultural activity now and again! At present The Skinny is a pretty swell guide to what's going on across Scotland: gigs, film screenings, exhibits, festivals, shopping, eating out... All in there, yes siree. The Skinny people even put our chums The Phantom Band on the cover last month. That was exciting!

Even MORE exciting is that from next month Made In The Shade takes up a blog residence on www.theskinny.co.uk! Waowsers! Now to your list of 'stuff I like to read about in The Skinny' you can add;

1. Interviews & profiles of Scottish designers & makers
2. Vintage lifestyle features
3. Indie shopping guides
4. Articles about DIY culture & indie business
5. Photo-stories about guerilla crafters
6. Crafty how-to tutorials and other bits about making stuff!

These six little items will certainly feature on the all-new Skinny blog but there'll be so much more included besides! We cannot WAIT to get started on this fabulous new project.

We are so excited that we've decided to host a little launch party for our shiny new blog space. The party takes place on Thursday 16th April at Macsorley's Music Bar, (Jamaica Street, Glasgow). We will post all the details of the evening shortly but for now all you gotta do is mark the date in your diaries and get your best vintage get-up out of the closet - ready for an evening of old-time fun! The party gives us a chance to celebrate the launch of the Made In The Shade blog but it also presents a long overdue opportunity for us to thank y'all for your support over the past year! Hoorah!
