DOES MY BUM LOOK SMALL IN THIS?

OK, so we're usually all about the designer labels darling, but this new range certainly caught our eye.

George at Asda has launched a collection of "Wonderbum" dresses, designed to flatter whatever your fugure - the perfect answer to any woman who spends her Friday and Saturday nights asking "Does my bum look big in this?".

The specially structured dresses cost just £20 .... leaving you plenty of spare change for that pair of Jimmy Choos you've been lusting after!

SPARKLING TRIBUTE TO ART ICON


From Marilyn Monroe to a can of Campbell's tomato soup, Andy Warhol's creations have become some of the most recognisable images of the 20th century.

Seems fitting then that the godfather of pop art - who famously said: "One's company, two's a crowd, and three's a party" - is now being immortalised by his very own Champagne line. Launched by Dom PĂ©rignon, the new luxury drinks collection has been inspired by Warhol’s unconventional and playful use colour.

We're one of the few bars outside London to be stocking this fabulous range, so why not come in a treat yourself to this season's most stylish bubbly.

Check out the new Champagne launch video here.

THE LEGEND OF ANDY WARHOL

We'll be celebrating the work of one of the 20th century's most iconic artists next week when we throw a fabulous Tribute to Andy Warhol evening. In conjunction with Model Society, we'll be reliving the Pop Art heyday at Mechu on Friday November 26.
To get you in the mood for this spectacular event, here's our favourite facts on the man who famoulsy said we'd all be famous for 15 minutes:

Born Andrew Warhola on August 6, 1928, his parents had travelled to America as immigrants from North Eastern Solvakia.

Warhol's first film was called Sleep which, rather bizarrely, was six hours long and featured on man doing exactly that!

In 1964 his painting Thirteen Most Wanted Men had to be painted over because it caused so much offence ... especially amongst the criminal underworld.

The same year, Warhol launched the infamous Factory - a studio he shared with other artists de jour.

In 1968, ardent feminist Valerie Solanas shot and almost killed Warhol.

Warhol produced the first album by chic 60s band Velvet Underground - he was drawn by their dark and often erotic music.

He died on February 22, 1987, following a routine gall bladder operation. Shortly before his death, he had famously said: "I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment'."
