hot off the press (or whatever the expression is, it's based on a false premise anyway.)


A midnight field trip sounded like quite the exciting addition to my week, a pleasant escapade amidst portfolio deadlines and general chaoticness of the end of term.
So yea, of course I tagged along when the Varsity team went to see our last issue of Lent printed.

VARSITY: coming to you LIVE from Milton (apparently a place outside Cambridge which is technically still in Cambridge).

Joe and Charlotte admiring the artistic smudges of a failed batch of Varsities.

Lovely illustrations made lovelier, apparently, by impromptu colors
imposed by printing machine.

Joe & ear plugs. In rugby gear.

Fashion, of course, looked fantastic even when fucked up.

My favorite darling, C. Wu with Lara and matching fur coats.

Where C. Wu might've ended in.

Rolls and rolls of paper.

Fascinating - apparently - machinery that changes gigantic rolls of paper.
(video will feature soon)

Lovely little detail in the printing press floor.

Laurie and Charlotte

Happy fashion editors caught between the sheets.
Of paper. NEWSpaper.
Notice the fashion page directly above us.

A proud Laurie invites the praise of his clan.
Notice that he is framed by Varsity Fashion x2.
(yes it's that green sheet you IDIOT!)

Printing newspapers is quite a trippy process to witness
Do not try this at home; do not witness while high.

Newspaper rollercoaster 1.

Newspaper Rollercoaster 2.
You know, the kind where your feet dangle.
Just go to Thorpe Park and you'll get what I mean.
