This Mini Cooper S Clubman was my set of wheels when in Auckland. A great little car, and thanks to Piers, Kelly and Grant for their help at BMW. And thanks in addition to Kelly for sending back my Italian Job CD, which I left in the CD player. A full review in an upcoming […]
A free issue of Lucire—online now
Each time we put out a Lucire in print, regardless of country, I wonder: do the folks in the countries (such as the UK) where the magazine is not available know what some of the layouts look like? This time around, Laura and I decided we would do a 52 pp. downloadable PDF, containing […]
Glamour UK puts Kate Moss back as Britain’s best dressed woman
How reliable are these readers’ polls? The British edition of Glamour (May 2008) puts Kate Moss at number one for Britain’s best dressed woman, with Agyness Deyn not even making it into the top 50.

Miss Universe New Zealand 2008: talk before you walk
It’s pageant season all right. In the last few days there has just been more discussion here at Lucire about the next Miss Universe New Zealand ?nal, on April 20—about three weeks later than last year’s one. As with 2007, we’ll be offering a prize of a feature that includes the winner. I’ve […]
This photograph was shot for a motoring-and-travel story about the South Island, New Zealand in Lucire no. 26, but it’s one that won’t run in the print magazine as the quality’s not up to scratch. The light is far too strong, but I like the concept: the new Renault Clio meets an old Renault Dauphine. We […]
