You know life is good when you find yourself with a free pass to hit some of Notting Hill’s most swank-o-rific cocktail bars with a bunch of folks you probably would’ve been hanging out with anyway. Or at least, that’s the rum-happy epiphany I had a few hours (and cocktails!) into last night’s Rum Do with Elements 8.

How Women Are shows that women aren't what you think (sometimes they are men, as in Camrass's films of transvestites). The three women subvert traditionally feminine practices such as watercolour, sewing, and pottery. Why choose these delicate methods? Because with the feather we can tickle the feet of the 1000 pound gorilla in the room (sexism) and perhaps get him to f*ck off.
