Neon retrospective
Chris Bracey is a master sign maker and neon art fan, and has been adding to his collection over the past 30 years. With his own personal collection on display in the Gods Own Junkyard neon exhibition, Chris is inviting everyone in the Carnaby area to come and see his unique collection, some of which has featured in several major films.
Neon on screen
From signs saying Peep Show to the classic flashing Girls Girls, many of the pieces on display in the Gods Own Junkyard neon exhibition will be recognisable from the world of cinema. With films such as Eyes Wide Shut, Batman, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Tomb Raider on their credits, these neon signs are almost as famous as the faces of the actors alongside them.

A rare piece of fashion history offers a grainy glimpse into the world of Jeanne Lanvin.
Leggy Grandfather Strikes A Pose!
72-year-old grandfather models women's clothes, becomes internet sensation
What is this, I don't even? A 72-year-old grandfather, Liu Xianping, has become something of an internet sensation after he began modelling for his granddaughter's online clothing store.
Liu's granddaughter runs Yuekou, a partnership between herself and four other recent college graduates. While Liu was helping the girls unpack, "he picked up one piece and tried to give some advice on how to mix and match. We thought it was fun so we started shooting."
"Why unacceptable (for someone like me to wear women’s clothes? Modelling for the store is helping my granddaughter and I have nothing to lose. We were very happy on the day of the shooting. I’m very old and all that I care about is to be happy."
The store's sales have apparently increased fivefold since Liu starting modelling. Netizens have compared Liu to Karl Lagerfeld and expressed jealousy over his slender legs.
