BANGERS & fash.
Like the Wah! nail Q&A, we couldn't fit in all the BANGERS & FASH Q&A in, so check it out below. plus a few pictures from there most resent night.
5. You’ve just held your 3rd event ,how did it go?
We have just recently finished our 3rd show, this time it was a lot bigger than the previous. We had much more designers involved and also had some bigger names appearing on the Dj line-up. Before the show we realized that it wasn’t just about showcasing new artists anymore, we also had a responsibility to give new and upcoming Dj’s a chance to build their profiles. From the beginning we always said it wasn’t going to be just about our own t-shirts, the idea behind the night was about inviting local talent that nobody knew of and showcasing them. Its now more about creating a creative scene then just been part of it.
6. What inspires your tshirt designs?
I cant talk for the rest of the designers but my inspiration comes from studying Graphic Design and seeing some of the dreadful t-shirts you see people wearing from Primark/H&M etc. We all want to create something that is original and hand made, most of it come from thinking ‘What do we want to wear that’s not available in the shops’ so we make it ourselves.
7. Who are your favourite artists / designer of all time?
Lamar & Dauley, Rocksmith, Teenagers in Love then just general designers, Nou Vous, Peepshow Collective, Mike Perry etc.
8. What are the 5 things you can't live without?
Fine Liners
Macs
Food
Water
Air
9. What are your future aspirations for Bangers & Fash?
The next step for us hopefully is to tour it around the country, we have had interest in this from the recent venue we did Bangers & Fash at. So fingers crossed…………
10. Finally, When you think of summer, what are the first things that come to mind?
No student loans.
PLUS BANGERS IS BACK, Friday 11th JUNE
Bangers have collaborated with dollop, to celebrate their 1st birthday and dollops 6th, Its sure it be a massive night with a live fashion show like always and making djs like the lost boyz club, teddy boshanks and doop. If your in Nottingham, be sure to attend. You can see from the pictures above that its a really popular night.

6. Do you find people wanting more and more outrageous nail designs?
People want outraegeous designs at festive period like carnival and halloween, then they want something more subtle for work.
7. What tips do you have for someone looking to break into nail artistry?
Practice, practice, practice.
8. Who is your favourite artist / designer of all time?
My favourite artists are Jenny Holzer and Jeff Koons.
9. If you weren't a nail artist what would you be?
I'm not a nail artist. im a businesswoman.

5 things i need:
My dog,
My sanity

My creativity
My ambition.
11. Finally, When you think of summer, what are the first things that come to mind?

PRANKSTER
While casually flicking through my tumblr dashboard feeds I dissolved this wonderful prank. At Quarter we want everyone to not take life to seriously and always let their youthful side shine through, so we think this prank is perfect. We pretty sure if your a student you are gonna have a few toilet rolling lying because just like us, your to lazy to put them in the bin. so get pranking your housemates NOW.

Radar Detector.
We have to thank Britt from MOOSIC zine (a zine for general moosings on music, lifestyle and cultural happenings) for linking us up to this super catchy tune by darwin deez. The video is upbeat, weird, colourful and features a Quarter zine fav, the inflatable lilo. It also features one essential summer must haves, the disposable camera which are cheap and perfect for festivals and holidays. We just can't get this song out of our heads. You probably won't be able to either.
Make sure you head over to MOOSIC zine. Thanks Britt & Gin.

HOW TO.
While searching cyber space for boredumm busters for you, we stumbled across this cheesy but genius website, HOWCAST, a site devoted to telling how you to do everything and anything. No joke. There are loads of categories to choose from, including how tos like create a classic updo, build a cool sand castle or even how to get money off your parent (one you might need over summer while some of us aren't getting student loan). We have just picked a few of our favourites (and great for summer) how tos just for you. Such a great find.
And just for a laugh, although if you're going on holiday you could use some tip from this :
