To close out Hallo-week-n on the blog, we went out and asked a bunch of folks the perennial chin-scratcher: What does the inside of your body smell like? Folks had some pretty good guesses (we're with the girl who says inside of an ass), but we had a burning itch to know the truth, so we asked a brain- and regular-surgeon to rate each of their answers and see how close they were to the mark. Happy eating!

OK so it's Halloween. We know that English attempts to make a big deal out of All Hallows Eve always wind up looking like wet Wednesdays compared to how seriously the Yanks take it so we decided to trim the fat, axe the pumpkins and just put on a good night at The Old Blue Last. HTRK and Factory Floor will be playing live and Faris from The Horrors will be playing tunes that will probably be at least vaguely spooky. To get yourself in the mood click on.

This time last year I took a train to suburban London to go hang out with a load of druids. The main thing I learned was that druids today are mostly semi-bald forestry workers, therapists, and lonely vets.

in the comments section and you’ll get a quick, tough-love answer from the ancient oracle of the Atu.
Yesterday a couple people asked how it all works. Click below for an

Today we meet William Chambers, 29, a milliner from Glasgow
William Chambers gained a first-class honours degree in textile design at the Scottish College of Textiles in 2002 and set up William Chambers Millinery in 2007. William cites birds and cages as his inspiration, and this is evident in the shape, texture and detailing in his work. William has quickly become a sought-after milliner within Scotland and further afield. He was a nominee in the Scottish Fashion Awards 2008 (Accessory Designer of the Year) and recently featured in The List magazine’s Style Issue as one of “the hottest young designers in the country”, alongside Christopher Kane. In September 2008 he designed hats for Glasgow fashion label Olanic for their Spring/Summer 09 debut collection at London Fashion Week.
