As my favourite month of the year has been and gone, here are some things I’ve been enjoying in the last four weeks
Game: Assassins Creed 3
Since Ubisoft announced the release of a third Assassins Creed I have literally been counting down the months, days, hours and seconds I will be reunited with my one true love again. Assassin’s Creed 3 is easily my favourite game of the year and been making me unfathomably happy for the last week. I won’t say much more as I’m only half way through it and plan to write a review of it in the next week or so.

Music: Grimes
I’m all about women doing their thing when it comes to music. Canadian artist Claire Boucher or as she calls herself “Grimes” has been rocking my socks of this month. This one woman show manages to create a sound that is throughly her own. Watching her live performances is quite impressive. She often takes charge of every single sound being made, sometimes even holding the microphone between her chin and her shoulder just so she can free her hands to tickle some knarly synth in order to create this schizophrenic, almost oriental beat that leaves you fixated on her every move. Like Die-Antwoord, Grimes is more of an art-project than a one-trick-musical-show-pony. Her video for Genesis is Power-rangers meets the Beastie Boys with some Xena the Princess Warrior themes in there too. She also has sweet style and manages to look a bit anime in some of her videos. Badassery at its best.
Have a look for yourself!
Beauty Product: Kate Moss for Rimmel Lipstick’s
This month, Rimmel launched 7 new lipsticks hand-picked by Kate Moss. I love really dark lipsticks so I picked up No.4 which is a deep plum colour. I love the simple packaging on these lipsticks and as most Rimmel lipsticks, they’re really pigmented and creamy. The purple shade is definitely for the more daring but there are 6 other shades which will suite anyone. I’m not the biggest Kate Moss fan, but these are well worth checking out.
Tv: American Horror Story: Asylum
As a big fan of anything emotionally disturbing, I’ve been really enjoying the second season of American Horror Story this month. Sticking with the same actors from season one, this season is set in a 1960’s insane asylum run by a reformed nun with questionable motives played by Jessica Lange. The story follows the nurses, doctors and patients of the asylum, forever making us question which characters are sane and which are insane. It also has the shockingly attractive Adam Levine guest starring which is never a bad thing. If you like horror and copious amounts of mystery and betrayal, you’ll enjoy this.
