Ewa Mataya Laurance

Ewa Mataya Laurance or simply Ewa Laurance (born Ewa Svensson, February 26, 1964, Gävle, Sweden, and formerly known as Ewa Mataya) is a Swedish professional pool player, most notably on the Women's Professional Billiard Association nine-ball tour, and more recently a sports commentator for ESPN.

Laurance, nicknamed "the Striking Viking", has been playing pool since she was 14 years old. She moved to the United States in 1981 after competing at the New York City World Championships.



She has authored three books, The Ewa Mataya Pool Guide, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Pool & Billiards, and Quick Start Guide to Pocket Billiards. She has also written monthly columns for Pool & Billiard magazine. In 2004, she was inducted into the Billiard Congress of America's Hall of Fame.

Allison Fisher

Allison Fisher (born 24 February 1968) is an English professional pool (and former professional snooker) player. She won her first world title at the age of 17. To date, she has won over 80 national titles and 11 world titles in total. She even entered the men's snooker rankings, but never progressed into the sport's upper levels. Feeling that she did not receive the same respect as the male players, she moved to the United States to play on the pool circuit. On 18 March 2009, she endorsed the Delta-13 billiard rack and has her own signature series.



For 2007, she was declared the female Player of the Year by all three of the major pool publications, Billiards Digest,Pool & Billiard Magazine, and InsidePOOL Magazine (in each case with Shane Van Boening as her male co-recipient of the honor), and also ranked #1 in the P&B "Fans' Top 20 Favorite Players" poll for that year. She has been the BD female Player of the Year for 11 of the 12 years spanning 1996–2007, including 6 in a row, 2002–2007.
On 8 June 2009, Fisher was nominated to be inducted into the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame.

London Fashion Week....Seventies Hippy-Luxe

Does anyone know who this girl is?? I think I photographed her at LFW last September in the Christopher Kane for Topshop gorilla print dress so maybe she works for Topshop (I took this outside the Topshop Unique show this season). She has the most amazing red hair and freckes (yeah, yeah, I know: I am obsessed!).





p.s. Off to Milan tomorrow. Very worried about finding my way around since I got hopelessly lost in New York (and everyone says it is almost impossible to get lost in New York because it is a grid system....mmmmmm I proved everyone wrong! I have absolutely no sense of direction. I even got a little group of us slightly lost the other day on the way to a show in London). I intend to attach myself like a limpet to Tamu from All the Pretty Birds since she lives in Milan!

London Fashion Week....Ruby

Model Ruby Aldridge.

Ruby walked past me with her scarf draped over her head like this but before I could ask if I could take a photograph, she had removed it. I scurried up and asked if she would mind putting her blankie (yes, I did use that word- arggghhh!) back on her head. And she did :)

London Fashion Week...Lucy

Lucy Williams, fashion assistant at Instyle magazine (UK) (she works with one of my absolute favourite fashion editors, Natalie Hartley). I think Lucy was one of the most photographed girls at LFW, each day she looked gorgeous!

London Fashion Week....Coco Sumner

The coolest kid on the block: Coco Summer. Even the way Coco walks (kind of a swagger) oozes hipness.

London Fashion Week...Jemma

Jemma Tibbals, Junior Fashion Editor at Handbag.com. Adore her gorgeous little checked shirt and her bike: the perfect mode of transport to zip between shows. Did anyone use the Barclays bikes to trek between shows????

New York Fashion Week....Autumn's On Its Way!

Hello giant cement truck going through the back of my photo :)

New York Fashion Week...The Trench

I love this polished look: the trench, the bag and the highest, thinnest of heels. For me, it seems so "New York". It is really interesting to see the difference in styles between London and New York....and I can't wait to see what the girls wear in Milan.

London Fashion Week....Claire

Claire from Young Shields blog.

I met Claire on a blogger's trip to Paris last year, and I am so embarrassed that I didn't recognise her on Sunday when I asked if I could take her photo..... She is all grown up and looking super glam!

London Fashion Week...Poppy

Poppy Delevigne looking utterly gorgeous as always. Love the Chanel boots!

London Fashion Week....Anna Dello Russo

Every time I see Anna, I give a little (internal!) squeal of delight. She always manages to look just so incredible.

London Fashion Week....Yasmin Le Bon

I've never seen Yasmin Le Bon in real life before: she is just so incredibly beautiful and elegant.

London Fashion Week....Burberry Shearling Boots
