went to the design place today. was very big and crowded. 'me and rach spent the whole day telling each other to ask the designers questions so in the end we asked a really nice girl, lynne baillie. she said her inpiration came from fruit. the product was a round cushion for sitting on. it had a sheet of magnet on the bottom, so it could be stored on a metallic board on the wall. v clever.

the star product was the protrusion washing machine. it has a 200 mm phallic protrusion on the top of it. the info poster thing said something like "we know that sex sells and we know that you're a sucker." also something lik e"you probably don't need a new washing machine, and this one washes your clothes just as well as your current one, but you should by this anyway." the designer, robert giles, also made a phallic cream despenser or maker, something like that.

then we went shopping and starbucks and went home. it was much more complicated than that. we went on the northen line at least 3x, the victoria line at least twice and the jubilee line. i got home and fell asleep after rach and i sorted out the billions of postcards we got and her bro she got picked up by her brother.
