Sparkling Strangeness




When the world around you is turning to dust and you are haunted by the leering faces of Katie Price and Peter Andre giggling inanely at the apocalyptic crapola they´ve created, one must take action - post haste. We at go-reborn have got the perfect strange and wonderful mystery tour to get your hearts beating at a slightly faster rate and your eyes slowly widening like a slow-motion film of a chrysalis opening.


The world has gone to shit - but we at go-reborn have the perfect answer to such hellish happenings, my little cherubic misfits.


If you notice a figure of "sparkling strangeness" with an air of "mysterious greatness", follow him, for he-she has a mission and theme. Follow that dark-robed stranger deep into the bowels of the Princes Street Mall, ideally taking a plunge down the steps by the Balmoral Hotel and diving right before you hit the train station. Follow that black-cowelled stranger into the glittering light palace of the Mall and on your right you´ll see go-reborn in all its splendour.


There really is quite a plethora of thrilling threads by Godiva Vintage, Laura Lees, Totty Rocks, OOPS, Red Mutha, Rowanjoy, Jukes & Proops, Ceilidh Gray, Stolen Thunder, Aware Injustice, Eka, Love Me Again, Orangefishy, Pipless Jam, Owl & Lion - did you get all that?


And our usual bevy of hot-paintin' artists - blog favourite Neil Perry and Edinburgh legend Elph, amongst others, have started a space-themed mural of epic proportions. Each chap or chappess will be given a word to give them inspiration and inspire they will. But more on that later. This mural must be seen. The man with the black visage will lead you to it.


Pop-in, and pop-up, after 4pm on Saturday for Yuletide drinkies and mysterious goings-on involving little people, unicorns and the breath of an elf in the glass jar of time. We await.
