Viva Retro Re-opening Party - 10/12/09










Whilst I was at Frock Around the Clock I got a lovely invite by Viva Retro's Ian Day (pictured 3rd and 4th) to attend their re-opening party. Situated on North Street across the road from their old store this unit, according to Ian "has a better layout and more space, including a bigger window display." Here you will find a treasure trove of retro furniture, clothing, records, original framed pictures and games. Even TVs to electric organs! A relaxed and welcoming atmosphere is present as you are free to lounge around and the addition of a new coffeeshop means you won't be short of an excuse. Definitely worth a visit!

Hello,

I'm Chiara and I write for an Italian magazine, called MINIMAG (this is our blog: http://minimag-azine.blogspot.com/). Specifically, our magazine is a freee press street style magazine.

We have seen your blog and we have aprreciated your pictures a lot.

We have a column (Observatory from -- in this case -- Belfast), where, if you are interested, we're going to do a review of your blog also publishing some of your pictures (obviously reporting your credits and web link).

If you are interested in it, we only need an answer to this e-mail in order to have a written authorisation to publish your pictures. Then, when the magazine number will be ready, we'll send you the .pdf file or the link where you will be able to find it.

Afterwards, if you wish collabotare with us, we could keep in touch, becuase we're looking for correspondents in several cities for our street style observatory project.

I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Chiara Alaia
