The famous high-street department store is selling these Aubergine bauble tree decorations and we’re dying.
The cheeky hanging (we’re not sure if it’s to the left or to right) decorations are currently being listed on the John Lewis website and are retailing at £8.
The aubergine has long been associated with a certain part of the male anatomy and has become a staple part of sexting on social media and hook up apps like Grindr.
However, it appears that the designers of the hanging decoration have either ignored this connection, completely ignorant of its day-to-day use – or are very very savvy people.
Apparently, it’s all part of John Lewis’s “Garden Retreat” decoration pack, which the website suggests “surrounding yourself in nature can ease the mind”.
Well quite.
Alongside your Aubergine, you could hang their Corn, Asparagus or Avocado bauble…
Police in London are looking to speak to five suspects after four victims were sprayed with a corrosive substance in an alleged homophobic assault outside a KFC in Brixton.
The attack happened back in January 2019, but following a Crimewatch appeal, Police have released footage of the men they are looking to speak to in connection with the incident.
In total, four people were assaulted with what is thought to be a corrosive substance spray. Detectives are treating the incidents as linked.
The footage, taken from a KFC on Brixton Road, SW9, shows five males police would like to speak to in connection with both incidents.
According to police reports, the attacks happened on Saturday, 19 January, with the first taking place at around 04:00hrs inside a KFC where a corrosive spray was used on two male victims.
The second attack happened just 20 minutes later at a bus stop close to the KFC where the CCTV footage was taken.
The two 22-year-old victims told police at the scene that they had been sprayed by an unknown noxious substance, thought to be a type of pepper spray, in what appears to be a hate crime attack.
Detectives from the South Area Command Unit are continuing to appeal for both victims of the first incident to make themselves known to police to give their account of the assault, and assist with enquiries.
Suspect [1] is described as a black male, wearing a black beanie, grey tracksuit, with dark elbow patches and a gilet-type jacket.
The second suspect [2] is described as a light-skinned black male with a ‘chin strap’ beard and of a tall muscular build.
The third male [3] is a black male who had his hood up, the top had white scribbles on it.
Another suspect [4] was seen wearing a dark navy tracksuit with multiple white stripes on the legs.
The final suspect [5] was a black male and of a larger build than the other men, with curly, short hair, green tracksuit trousers and a black puffa-style jacket.
Detective Constable Amy Cross, of Lambeth CID, the lead investigator on this case, said, “This was a completely unprovoked and targeted attack on at least two members of the public, with a further two victims not yet in contact with police.
“Both the attack and the homophobic motivation of this assault are abhorrent, and I appeal to anyone with any information that could assist the investigation to come forward.”
Anyone with information is asked to conduct Lambeth CID by dialling 101 and quoting reference CAD 1206/19JAN19.
Global star Adam Lambert has released some epic new music… and we’re so here for it.
The 6 track EP opens with his glam-funk hit, “Superpower”, which was released as a single earlier this month and has already amassed over a million plays on Spotify.
Of the EP, he said: “I’ve followed my instincts and intuition more than ever with Velvet, leaninginto truly musical influences from the 70s, early 80s and contemporary pop. It honors what made me want to be a musician in the first place.”
Tomorrow (28th September), Adam will perform with Queen headlining Global Citizen Festival. After completing a huge sold out North American tour with the band, it was recently announced that Queen + Adam Lambert will embark on a colossal UK and European tour in the spring/summer of 2020, to include five dates at London’s’ O2 Arena.
‘VELVET: Side A’ comes four years after the release of Adam Lambert’s last album ‘The Original High’, which reached the Top 3 in the US and Top 10 in the UK and took his overall worldwide sales to over 3 million units. His previous album ‘Trespassing’ was the first album by an OUT artist to hit number 1 on the US Billboard chart. Adam has been touring as the lead singer of Queen (Queen + Adam Lambert) since 2012, including two huge world arena tours which sold out in minutes and gained critical acclaim. In between touring the world with Queen, Adam has been exploring the world of film and TV with a cameo in Oscar-winning film Bohemian Rhapsody as well as voicing character ‘Emperor Maximus’ in animated-live action hybrid movie Playmobil: The Movie.
