Blackout RPG Intro – WIP
The excerpt below is from the beginning of the core rulebook that I'm writing, it lays out a little more background on the world in general and a bit about the groups within it. Please forgive any glaring spelling/grammar errors, this is a raw draft copied from a WIP document. Also, WordPress has butchered the formatting in some places, so please accept my apologies if it's all over the place. I just wanted to give a bit of an overview on things to back up my post on reddit. Also at the bottom of the page you can find a very rough first draft of a character sheet that I'm working on.
I guess it's time for me to come clean about what actually happened that day huh?"
Kim Winters eased back in the chair and kicked her feet up onto the makeshift table in front of her, glancing around the room before continuing. "I was in New York City when the Blackout happened. Living in the City you became used to threats not actually amounting to anything, so when the news reports began playing, everyone just kind of ignored it, you know." She paused, as if thinking back to that time. " I can't believe that I was only 17 then, it seems like a lifetime ago. Being the kid that I was I didn't really understand what was coming, although I'm not sure anyone did."
The others in the room sat silently, the only other noise was slight whirring coming from the patched up old digital camera on the tripod behind them. Kim's eyes flicked around the group of 3 before settling back on the camera. "I remember sitting in my parents apartment, my Mom was there, we watched the broadcast on the news together, my father had already been called to base a few days before the threat emerged. They said that the terrorist group was threatening every major city in the US at the same time, they were claiming to have a weapon capable of pushing us back into the dark ages, at least I think that's how they worded it."
A muffled explosion in the distance caused Kim to stop for a second before continuing on. "Funny thing was, no one ever really considered that the threat might come true. As the news broadcast countdown reached zero I remember my Mom telling me that everything would be okay, then it all just went kind black. The TV, lights, my phone, all at once. There wasn't any kind of explosion, or any kind of weird electrical thing, they all just died, all at once."
Another explosion, this time a little closer, further punctuated by the clatter of assault rifle fire. Instinctively Kim checked the magazine on the rifle thrown across her lap before looking back to the camera. "Of course, at that time we didn't know what we know now, my Mom told me that my father would be coordinating the troops on base to help everyone. We know now that wasn't the case at all don't we."
One of the three others in the room, James Anders, broke the silence that hung in the air after Kim's final statement. "I'd heard that the military rolled into New York pretty quickly after the Blackout." Kim simply smiled and nodded. "So you've been staying under the military…. Your Father's radar for just over 4 years at this point?"
Again, Kim checked the magazine in the gun and also, this time, checked the chamber. "Well, first of all, once they rolled into the city he convinced my Mother and I to leave the apartment for our own safety. Everyone knows how quickly the looting started once the lights went out. It was like the dark brought out the demons in everyone. It was about 5 days after he got us on base that I began to hear rumors about the military involvement. History books tell that they declared Marshall Law in almost every major city within 24 hours of the Blackout, saying that they'd return control to the governing bodies once they had things in place. I guess they're still waiting for that, or at least that's the excuse they're using. My Father installed himself as some sort of Governor for Manhattan and its surrounding boroughs. Said he didn't want Jersey though, so that explains why they blew the GW."
Suddenly the bag laid on the floor next to Tom, James' brother, began beeping. He jumped, clearly a little startled and reached inside, pulling out a very patched up GPS navigation system. He looked at the screen, a cluster of dots were moving closer to their location. "Looks like we've got incoming. Scanner shows 5 or 6, it's tough to tell given the concrete in this building."
Kim kicked back from the table and stood up. "Ok boys, time to see what you got, looks like these guys came to take their house back."
Tom grabbed the camera from the tripod, shut it off and stuffed it into his backpack. All of them grabbed their weapons and packs, checking what ammunition they had, no matter how limited. James picked up his rifle and checked the mag, only 3 bullets left. Tom grabbed some of the homebrew grenades from his pack and clipped them to his belt. After they all readied up, Kim turned, throwing the door to the house, firing off a couple of shots through the opening before rushing out to face their attackers head on like she had many times before over the last 4 years….
The History of The World of Blackout
Blackout is a modern day "edge of the apocalypse" story based in the continental United States of America. In late 2019 the country was in the grips of a massive depression, brought on by multiple factors, including a rapidly corrupting government, heavy taxation on simple items and a climate that only promoted "the rich getting richer". Over the course of 2018 and 2019 there was a growing trend of minor domestic terrorism attacked across the country, anything from preventing fuel trucks reaching major cities to the sabotage of railways and other supply lines. However the world was changed drastically on one October night after it was subjected to multiple EMP pulses centered around the major population centers. Originally believed to be the actions of the same terrorist group, it later became clear that it was actually the actions of an organized military coup. The military had fully ensured that all their equipment was fully protected before the EMP's were detonated and no more than a couple of hours post detonation, they deployed to the cities under the veil of supporting the populous after the attack.
It only took a few days before it became obvious that the military had different motives than "assist and aid" as they had originally stated. Very quickly they moved to take control of the cities and made sure to install a governor in each to maintain control. This was not difficult for them to do, due to the fact that most people were still coming to terms with life without electronics or, in some cases, any form of vehicles. The military worked quickly to checkpoint the entries into all major cities, going as far in some cases as to destroy all but one route of access in and out.
Over the course of the beginning of 2020 there begun a quiet uprising within cities, nothing was coordinated, the military made sure that communication between cities was impossible by bringing down cell phone towers and blocking access to the internet. The citizens that were stuck inside the cities took on the nickname of The Subjugated and soon that nickname would become the official name that the Military would use for their uprising.
After the dust settled and the military had taken many of the major cities the rest of the country began to fall into lawlessness. With all major TV stations now being blocked or controlled by the military and the power grids being shut down outside of the cities it meant that the countryside became more of the wildlands. Small town America quickly fell into chaos as the gas stations ran out of fuel, shops ran out of basic supplies and people began to realize that they had to survive on their own.
Mid 2020 marked the arrival of the Private Military Contractors (PMC's) as they begun to realize that there was money to be made in the lawless Wildlands. The arrival of the PMC's coincided with the building of a roving bandit threat throughout the Wildlands. The rebellions within the cities also began to become more violent as groups began to once again arm themselves. The Subjugated began to develop means to communicate between cities by hacking into the now restricted Internet using rudimentary equipment that they had rebuilt after the EMP's.
On the second anniversary of the Blackout The Subjugated coordinated their boldest attack yet and successfully overthrew the Governors in San Francisco and Washington DC and drove the military out. They quickly installed a democratic leadership into these cities and they both became beacons to show that it was possible to fight back. The loss of these cities caused the military to tighten their grip on the remaining cities that they controlled, with New York officially becoming the recognized US capital after the loss of DC.
By 2021 the military had attempted to strike back at Washington and San Francisco multiple times but were never successful due to the fact that The Subjugated now had access to the military hardware that was left behind when they were driven out. This led to them beginning to discover more facts about the Blackout and the events thereafter. It seemed that just weeks after the US blackout the same event occurred in several other countries across the world. Information was scarce however as each country that had fallen had seen it's global internet access shuttered to prevent information getting out.
During this time many of the smaller towns in the Wildlands had fallen under the control of the PMC's and various other groups and ruled them like warlords. This led to the military having to reinforce all convoys that travelled between cities due to increasing amounts of attacks, especially on fuel convoys. Fuel and ammunition became heavily controlled and a local black market between towns built up very quickly.
On the third anniversary of the Blackout the military began their shock and awe assault on San Francisco, the siege of San Francisco, as it became known, took place for 7 days straight, by the time the siege was over there was little of the original city remaining, the loss of life was into the millions and The Subjugated that survived the assault fled the ruins, many were picked up, several killed whilst attempting to escape and a few managed to escape into the Wildlands.
This marked a major change in direction for the military as they became much more aggressive. Any Subjugated that got caught were put into labor camps in the Wildlands. They suffered a major setback to their plans for DC when The Subjugated infiltrated the base where the military were storing their equipment for the siege and detonated a device that destroyed a large majority of the heavier artillery.
2022 is where we are now, the country still sits mired in anarchy, the Warlords rule the Wildlands. Washington DC is the defacto capital of The Subjugated and the military rules the other major cities and the roads that connect them.
The Groups of Blackout
The United States in the world of Blackout is populated by thousands of small groups, but they usually fall into one of three Affiliations. During their adventures your heroes will likely want to pick an affiliation, some groups might prefer to choose a side and stick with it, whilst others might want to "play sides" and try to operate in a grey area between multiple parties. Below you will find a short description of the three major affiliations within Blackout.
The Subjugated
The Subjugated began life as the general populous of the major cities within the U.S. It was originally a detrimental term used by the military to refer to refer to those that lived within the walls of their cities. Deprived of any luxuries that they once took for granted and, at times, denied even the most basic items needed to live, they began meeting in secret forming groups that quickly turned into an underground rebellion. At the present time The Subjugated have control of Washington DC and use the city as a bastion of hope for all others. The former second city of San Francisco is ruined, but there are rumors of a hidden base somewhere within the ruins that might still be operational. The Subjugated have become very resourceful at utilizing items that they can lay hands on to fight back. Many also lend their skills to help rebuild or fabricate new electronics systems to help in the rebellion. Using these electronics, they have been able to breach several military blocks and regain some levels of access to global networks and other items.
The Military
The military are the overlords of Blackout. They control every major city in the country other than Washington DC and San Francisco. The capital of the Military is New York City, it was widely considered to by the capital even before Washington fell, once the government was removed from office. Each city has a governor in control of it. They have maintained restricted access to global networks, preventing the outside world. They control the fuel routes throughout the U.S. and have access to the only technology completely unaffected by the Blackout. Staying on the good side of the military is a good way to ensure your survival in the world.
The Warlords, PMC's & Small Towners
Small town America was ravaged by bandits post Blackout. Deprived of pretty much everything needed to keep them going the country sides between cities became Wildlands. As many areas weren't directly affected by the Blackout pulses, most technology remains intact, however the military was quick to shut down the power grids outside of the cities, meaning that any towns in the Wildlands were affected just the same as the cities. The bandits turned many of the towns into settlements and installed themselves as rulers of their new kingdoms. In some cases going as far as setting up new power grids and defences. Several Private Military Contractors (PMC's) also flocked in, using the lawless countryside to commit raids on convoys and also working as hired guns for the warlords. The PMC's tend to stick to the smaller abandoned military installations as much as possible, hoarding what supplies the can to keep their misappropriated military hardware running for as long as possible As much as you need to stay on the good side of the military, it is impossible to navigate around America at this point without running into Bandit settlements and PMC bases.

I had my last chemotherapy treatment on Tuesday last week (hopefully). I will go in to the hopefully bit shortly...
So many people have said to me 'Oh you must be so happy to have it out of the way'. Maybe I should be. I feel like I should be. But happy isn't how I've felt since Tuesday. I burst in to tears in the middle of town, cried all the way home, screamed and smashed some plates. Smashing plates is quite satisfying until you realise that you actually have nothing to eat off of and need to bugger about replacing them the next day. Since then, I've felt like a bloated, fat toad with horrid indigestion and heartburn and a massive round steroid face. I seem to have ballooned in weight over the last week or so and feel so puffy and uncomfortable I barely recognise myself in the mirror. I can cope with feeling ill, but looking ill and feeling fat, unfit and lethargic I really do no deal with very well.
I'm not sure Tuesday started out too well to be honest. I had to be at the hospital for 9.00am for an appointment for a scans on my bad and good boob, after finding an 'area of irregularity' in it. The letter sent to me was reminiscent of my first diagnosis and almost triggered some sort of flashback, so you can imagine my nerves were considerably on edge by the time I got to the hospital.
After an ultrasound and titty squash, good news was that the good boob was fine. Not so good news was that the tumour in my bad boob hadn't shrunk since October. After meeting with the surgeon once the scans were in, he told me that it is entirely possible that when the tumour is taken out, all they will find is dead tissue. Apparently, when cancer cells start to die, they form necrosis, or scar tissue and that's all that may be left of the bastard. However, there is no way of knowing until it's actually removed. The scans only show a mass and don't differentiate between alive or dead cells. Psychologically it's a bit of a blow - after months of feeling like absolute crap you expect to have some sort of result - indeed there still could be but once again I'm thrown in the pit of uncertainty.
After discussing the results with my oncologist, he told me that in the unlikely event of them removing the tumour and it not having responded as well as they would have liked, there may be the chance of more chemotherapy. Different drugs this time as no point giving stuff that hasn't worked already. Essentially, the chemo is to try and zap any random cancer cells that may have escaped to other areas of the body, such as the bone marrow or liver. Surgery can deal with what is in the breast - the chemo tries to destroy any floaters before they can settle and set up home.
Not the best news, but in one way a bit reassuring that they won't just cast me afloat and there is more they can do. Again, it just adds to the total uncertainty, which gradually I'm learning to deal with. I've accepted I'm never going to know when this whole process will be 'over'. It is impossible to give timescales. I don't know when I will be back at work properly or when I can have a holiday. No - I don't know when I will be 'cured'. I'll never know whether if I go in to remission, whether or not it will come back. I'll never be entirely done with treatment. I'm not sure when I will get some semblance of my former life back, if ever. But enough - I've purged now. I feel slightly better. Maybe. I just need to avoid mirrors for the moment!

According to Demakersvan, 'the miracle of how some industrial products come about, is a beautiful phenomenon if you look at it closely', something anyone would find hard to disagree with after seeing the Dutch design house's recent project, Cinderella Table.
This simple yet elegant design exemplifies the beauty of the mundane while challenging the conventions of product packaging.
Placing emphasis on the aesthetics of the components themselves, which are typically hidden and mystified, Lee manages to successfully bring the design of a lamp back to its bare minimum.

It works and everything, but I'm kind of upset due to the fact that I'd waited over a year to finally got AVICsync to work and come to find out, it wasn't free. You have to buy a yearly subscription. 1st for Connected services: North America - 1year for $15.99 and 2nd Live for HD Traffic: USA and Canada- 1 year for $24.99. I try clicking on it to make a purchase, the price is not as advertise as what on the app. They want $17.23 for 1 year of Connected service and $26.93 for Live HD Traffic.

Matsumoto tailor-made holiadys
The laidback city of Matsumoto is one of the main gateways to the Japan Alps, lying stunningly in the shadow of seven enormous summits, many above 3000m, and the stunning highlands of Utsukushi-ga-hara-kōgen.
In a valley with panoramic Alps views, Matsumoto was given its name by the British missionary and climber Reverend Walter Weston, who mapped the peaks in the 19th century. Matsumoto-jo, the city's striking five-tiered castle, is the main attraction, but there's also Nakamachi, a street running parallel to the Metoba River lined with old white-walled houses, some of which have been converted into ryokan (inns) and shops. This district is also a superb place to sample Matsumoto's famed gastronomy – its soba buckwheat noodles in traditional cafes, alongside beautiful vista views, charming streets and galleries. Relaxed and cosmopolitan, it's also well known for its sake breweries, tucked away among the traditional buildings of its backstreets.
Top itineraries in Matsumoto
Step out of Japan's capital and explore an alpine world of shrines and samurai frozen in time. Board the mighty bullet train, sleep in timber ryokan inns, stay in hot onsen springs and more on this tailor-made journey.

Former governor of Lagos State Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, President Muhammadu Buhari and former national chairman of APC Chief Bisi Akande at Abuja House, London PHOTO: TWITTER/PRESIDENCY
Muslims and Christians yesterday held a special prayer in Jalingo, Taraba State for the quick recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari who is on medical vacation in the United Kingdom.
They converged on the Jalingo Eid prayer ground to seek God's intervention in the President's health. Speaking at the session, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) led by Rev. Baba Yerima, said praying for the well-being of the President is the duty of every "true believer" irrespective of religious affiliation.
He urged the people to always pray for the leaders "because if a leader succeeds his people have succeeded too." Ustaz Ali Babando, an Islamic cleric, told the congregation that the President was ordained by God to solve the country's socio-economic and security challenges.
The Secretary, Taraba chapter of Buhari Support Organisation (BSO), Alhaji Sani Tullu, said the group organised the prayer and a rally to support the President's visionary leadership.

Title: Invincible
Author: Sherrilyn Kenyon
Series Status: 2nd book in the Chronicles of Nick Series
# of pages: 420
My rating: 4/5 stars
From Goodreads
*This is not the first book in the series so synopsis may contain spoilers*
Nick Gautier's day just keeps getting better and better. Yeah, he survived the zombie attacks, only to wake up and find himself enslaved to a world of shapeshifters and demons out to claim his soul.
His new principal thinks he's even more of a hoodlum than the last one, his coach is trying to recruit him to things he can't even mention and the girl he's not seeing, but is, has secrets that terrify him.
But more than that, he's being groomed by the darkest of powers and if he doesn't learn how to raise the dead by the end of the week, he will become one of them…
I don't know why I don't see people reading this series more often because I'm really enjoying them.
As I said with the first review, this world is full of so many different mythical things it's insane but also entertaining. I loved the more development we got with this installation and I hope that with the next books we get even more because with each new book we learn so much about the world and Nick himself.
Now on to Nick and his development which is causing mixed feelings from me. While I think as a person he's growing and developing more, his "magic" is not. We are in the second book into an eight book series and besides the occasionally accidental use of his powers Nick really doesn't use them much. I was hoping he was going to be trained or at least in training by this point and have a larger grasp on exactly what he's doing and where he is going with these powers. He also is falling more and more into the "Chosen One" trope but I don't think it's been a main focus currently.
One of the other problems that I had with this story is that the pacing is really slow. I wanted a fast paced story that drew me in and propelled the plot but this feels more as if it is suffering from middle book syndrome. I still really enjoyed the story and all but this book definitely felt like it was a set up for the next ones.
Overall I really enjoyed this story and wished that there was a little more going on but overall I'm excited to continue the series and see where it goes.
4/5 stars

If done right, a good content development plan will ensure a stellar performance, one in which your website plays the starring role. This all starts with a blueprint, a map you follow to take your website from concept to completion.
Web Content Development: The Basics
Web content development is the process of generating material that supports and promotes your online presence. Throughout the course of developing your web content, you will brainstorm, plan, research, organize, and create content for online publication. And then you'll publish it. For a small business owner, this content should be designed with one purpose in mind: to advance the goals of your business. It usually starts with your website, but web content can include any online content that represents you or your business. It consists of text, images, audio, and video that are accessible on the Internet.
Web Content Development Step Four: The Launch
Building your website and developing your web content requires a series of steps: You start with a concept and then you establish a plan. You build the site and create the content. Finally, you launch. Launches can be elaborate. You've probably seen a store throw a grand opening surrounded by a bunch of a hullabaloo. This is typical of a launch that involves a big release: a new business, a fresh product line, or a radical makeover in brand, products, or services. But most launches are quiet. If the content you created was an article or a series of social Read More
What is Web Content and How Can a Small Business Use It?
There's a lot of talk on the Internet about web content. You should have it. It needs to be good. You can share it, market it, and sell it. Manage and maintain it. Have a plan – develop it. Use it to build your business. Use it to succeed. Plenty of people sell web content and related services. You can hire a web content writer, developer, or manager. You might bump into web content consultants, specialists, or experts. You may even happen across someone who creates and then either publishes or sells web content as their entire business model. But Read More
Web Content Development Step Three: Build
Creating web content for online display and distribution is essential in today's marketplace. More and more consumers are using the web to find and patronize businesses, and if your content is stale (or nonexistent), your business could be in big trouble. Today's post is part of a series on web content development. We're looking at five basic steps in the process of developing web content for small business owners, independent professionals, and entrepreneurs. We've already explored brainstorming and planning your web content. Today, we're digging into the building phase. If you've done your due diligence and completed the brainstorming and Read More

The first question that comes into our minds when we are getting ready to go somewhere special is the following: "How can I dress to hide my faults?" We've all done this – but what Florence shows us in this step is that, perhaps subconsciously, we do the same with our personalities – When we ask "What will I talk about to seem interesting?" we are really asking "What will I talk about to hide my personality flaws?"
Now we might think "What does it matter if it is really me, if I succeed in interesting the person I like?" But in this cute little manipulation there lies a much greater problem that we can't wrap our heads around without completing the step: to seduce, above all else, is to create emotion. This can ONLY happen when we are COMPLETELY ourselves – otherwise, it's like a cake that just doesn't set! The essential ingredient is to reveal our true self – if we don't do this, emotions just don't arise. For sure, Florence would have to agree that putting your best foot forward as far as your appearance is concerned is a sensible thing to do, but to start disguising or altering your personality is a real seduction catastrophe! Step 3 helps us to dig up everything we have within in us that could reach out and touch the other
When you try to seduce someone you like by passing yourself off as someone else, it might work in the short term. But afterwards you might feel unsure that it really made an impact, or regret taking the chance to show your real self, so that a true connection could have started to take shape.
Deep inside, you don't know what you are worth, what you can bring to your other half. You are either playing a character (when you want to seduce) which is too far from your beautiful inner truth, or you blending into the background… and none of this works!
Our self esteem has a massive effect on our relationships. Step 3 proposes that you discover what it is that is really unique about you and teaches you to reveal the essence of your charm so to move forward in your love life.
What I like about this step, it is that it helps us to grow in awareness of our own value and to wake up to the real treasures at the heart of our personality. It's a fundamental step to cross when we look to seduce in the long term.
To impress a potential partner, you have to hide your flaws
I know no one's perfect – why can't I feel more at ease in social situations?

European Concours D'Elegance
Schwetzingen 2001
On July 7th and 8th, near Heidelberg an event took place, which will try to compete with the Concours at Pebble Beach.
Well, the cars will be able,
but the weather? Never!!!
Hopefully the next Concours won't show so stormy and rainy days than we had in 2001...
So, hopefully, we will see more visitors at the next concours!
I created extra-websites for some of the cars, please have a look:
DB4 GT "Jet", 1961
Bentley T1 Coupé Pininfarina, 1968
Lamborghini 3500GTZ Zagato, 1965
Lamborghini Flying Star II, 1966
This Aston-Martin DB4GT Zagato was shown at Schwetzingen,
but the photo I have taken some years earlier, at the
Nürburgring, after a race of historic cars.
An Alfa-Romeo 1900SS, bodied by Ghia-Aigle, in 1956.
Built in 1951, the Alfa-Romeo 6C2500SS Supergioiello.
And another Alfa-Romeo, it's a 6C2500SS Villa D'Este, a model of 1950.
A Park Ward bodied Bentley S2 Continental Drophead Coupé, built in 1962.
Unfortunately this is not an original one.
It's a Bugatti T57SC Atlantique, the original was built in 1937.
In my opinion one of the most beautiful bodies, ever built.
Even if the car is based on an original Bugatti chassis, it's not an original Atlantique, and so it shouldn't be shown on a Concours D'Elegance...
There have to be some Ferraris on a Concours D'Elegance,
this is a 250MM (Mille Miglia), from 1953.
And here we have a 342 America, built in the same year.
(Chassis: 0248AL)
This car was featured in the German car-magazine "Motor Klassik" (3/2000).
Actually it had a 375-engine, because the owner of a very similar car (Chassis: 0234AL),
King Leopold of Belgium complained about the original 342-engine.
He wanted to have more power...
At least as beautiful as a Ferrari, as rare as a Ferrari,
but it's "only" a Fiat.
It's a Fiat 8V.
One of the most impressive cars at Schwetzingen,
the Franay-bodied Bentley Mk VI, built in 1947.
This unique car was featured in "Collectible Automobile", issue 2/2002.
Mercedes was the special-make of 2001.
There were also Rolls-Royce cars at Schwetzingen.
For example, this Phantom I, bodied in 1929, by Barker.
And here, I think we have a Phantom II, but I'm not
If you know more, please email
Last, but not least:
Talbot Lago T150SS "Figoni & Falaschi", 1938

Audrey Hepburn first came to Givenchy to ask him to make her costumes for the film "Sabrina."
Deeda Blair sought out Givenchy after seeing Audrey Hepburn in "Funny Face."
After Cristobal Balenciaga shut down his couture house, he literally took Bunny Mellon by the hand and steered her to his friend, Hubert de Givenchy.
Many of the elegant women of the world, who care deeply about clothes, have put themselves in the hands of Givenchy, whose 30th anniversary as a couturier was celebrated this week at a gala benefit in New York, marking the opening of the Fashion Institute of Technology's "Givenchy: Thirty Years." (The retrospective exhibition is open to the public through Oct. 2.
Givenchy had expected to see Katharine Hepburn when told a Miss Hepburn would be coming to speak with him. "We knew little of Audrey Hepburn in France at that moment, when it took at least six months for an American film to get to Paris," Givenchy recalled in an interview earlier this week. After "Sabrina," Givenchy made Hepburn's clothes for several of her films, including "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Funny Face" and "Bloodline." The friendship has led to some of the designer's best works and the actress' most memorable appearances.
"Audrey knows everything that is good for her. She gives me direction. She is definite," says Givenchy, 55, whose L'Interdit perfume was once owned solely by Hepburn. Later it became the first actress/designer perfume, much in the way Catherine Deneuve and Chanel work today.
"If you want to express yourself, it is difficult to be by yourself," says Givenchy of his friendship with Hepburn and other clients. "You must have people around you who understand the same music. It is like being the chef d'orchestra. They need you but you need them desperately."
"What is exceptional is the quality of everything he does, the material, the sewing," says Bunny Mellon, who confesses she was nervous when Balenciaga took her to meet Givenchy--though the designer quickly put her at ease. "He is unusual in that he adapts to the client's need, the color the client likes," says Mellon.
Givenchy once told Deeda Blair she already owned enough suits and coats and that it was time for her to try something more informal. He suggested a gray skirt and coat with a brown sweater, recalls Blair. "He made me my first French suit, in turquoise wool with covered buttons, and very architectural looking," she remembers. She wore it at least five years, she says, and other Givenchy creations much longer.
She also shopped at Balenciaga across the street. "The clothes were so related that I bought my wedding dress at Balenciaga and found the most unbelievable confection of a hat at Givenchy" that was dyed to go with the dress.
"To be a couture designer is not only to create dresses but to adapt your line to your private customers," says Givenchy. "It is why couture is expensive. You are like a doctor."
The reward, says Givenchy, comes when the customer tells you of the success of the dress. Like the note from Jacqueline Kennedy, who wore his white gown and coat to a dinner with President Kennedy and Charles de Gaulle at Versailles. In the note, Kennedy made a sketch of herself in the coat and related happily that de Gaulle had said she looked like a Watteau. The next day she called the designer to the American embassy to show off how she looked in a pink fitted coat and matching pillbox he made for her.
Then there was the letter from the singer Frederica von Stade: "M. Givenchy. I have the feeling that I sing better when I wear your clothes."
Givenchy grew up in Beauvais, near Paris, the grandson of the art-collecting curator of the Beauvais tapestries. As a boy, the designer loved the fabrics his mother chose and admired designs in the fashion magazines she had at home.
It was Cristobal Balenciaga whose designs he admired most. "For me it represented the architecture, the simplicity of fashion," recalls Givenchy as he walks through the retrospective exhibit, which includes designs once worn by the duchess of Windsor, Princess Grace of Monaco and Princess Caroline, Jacqueline Onassis, Bunny Mellon and Deeda Blair. "It was my idea to knock on the door of Balenciaga with my sketches."
But he was told Balenciaga would see no one. So, at age 17, he took his sketches to the new house of Jacques Fath, who hired him at once. Later, Givenchy worked for Elsa Schiaparelli. "At the beginning I wanted to be a good assistant. I didn't think I had the kind of name good for a couture house--too long and complicated," he laughs.
When he learned enough--"You never finish learning"--he opened a small house, in Paris in 1952. He started with a small collection of blouses and skirts, a far cry from the Dior new-look style that dominated Paris at the time. "It seemed to me to be the future for fashion." But pushed by the critics, he put aside the sportswear for the moment and made a couture collection. It was so successful he was able to open a larger salon on the Avenue Georges V across the street from his idol Balenciaga.
The two became friends. Balenciaga made the unorthodox suggestion that they view each other's collections. "I think that is what a designer and a friend must be," Balenciaga told him. As they sat together at the Givenchy show, Balenciaga gave him pointers. "He told me, 'Hubert, I love your coat but you must give the women more room for comfort. A woman must move very easily in her clothes. It is not enough to have a coat or dress that is beautiful.' "
Givenchy welcomed the advice. "I had never the opportunity to learn the details of making a coat, only to sketch what I liked." There was more advice from Balenciaga: "The dress must follow the body of the woman, not the body following the shape of the dress." Givenchy quotes Balenciaga in French, to make sure the idea is not missed.
Even now, of each new collection Givenchy asks himself, "What would Cristobal think of this? . . . Is this an honest design? Is it more than it needs to be?" Occasionally, he'll ask one of the late designer's employes, who now work for him--like Gilbert, a fitter--if Mr. Balenciaga would like, say, a certain coat. Gilbert usually responds positively.
The tall, white-haired, statesmanlike Givenchy works in the same white jacket that was a Balenciaga trademark. It fits loosely and has huge pockets to hold scissors and pins. The first jacket he ever wore was made for him by Balenciaga, who also made one for Yul Brynner. "Can you imagine having a jacket made for you by Balenciaga?"
Givenchy won't say how big his business is--only that there are ready-to-wear boutiques in 20 stores (including Garfinckel's in Washington), and licensees including menswear, jewelry and perfume. Just added are fabric designs for home furnishings. Interior decor for the Vista International Hotel, planned for Washington, is in the works.
For relaxation, Givenchy retreats to Jonchet, where he owns a 17th-century chateau with formal gardens he himself designed in the manner of one he saw in Venice. He swims laps in his pool with his golden retriever, Sarah. In New York, he visits Studio 54. "I love to dance and I love to see people dance. It is good exercise," says the designer. "It gives you a kind of energy."
Givenchy circles the retrospective exhibit before the opening, checking each garment, adjusting a collar or a belt, fixing a skirt, each time removing his shoes before stepping on the platform where the clothes are displayed. It pleases him that all of the clothes would be appropriate to wear today. "It is unjust to wear clothes just for one season or two," he says, pointing to two similar tunic dresses--one from his current collection, the other made almost 30 years ago. "You must cherish your clothes.

Oh hiya!
So after 10 of the most amazing days in Turkey, I'm back and ready to roll! Despite having a complete break of all phone (bar like an hour of wifi on our third to last day), social media and blog related activities and truly relaxing - it wasn't until half way through the 10 days we found out another royal baby is on the way YAY - I'm glad to have this little slice of the internet back in my control.
As you may have seen, despite my pre-holiday efforts, none of my blog posts managed to go live as scheduled, which is terribly annoying. I managed to publish one but that was all I had time for. I'll make sure they all still go up.
But anyway, where did I go, what did I do? I went to Olu Deniz, Turkey and perfected the art of relaxation. Staying in a beautiful apartment, in a beautiful area, we chilled by the pool, went to the beach (including a place called the blue lagoon), went on a boat trip, tried out scuba diving, saw some ruins of an ancient city, and ate some bloody fantastic food. In fact by the end of the holiday, it's safe to say we didn't have one bad meal out there. Every single meal was fantastic, I mean having olives as part of your breakfast every day - take me back to heaven! It's also really acceptable to eat loads of kebabs because that's what they do best, and they're nothing like the greasy processed doner you get over here, it's all fresh, natural ingredients, in a beautiful hand made fresh pitta or pancake wrap. Get ready for some serious Turkish inspired recipes in the coming weeks, as I can't seem to get enough.
At it's highest, we felt a temperature of 36c, so you can probably believe that I'm pretty happy with my tan situation now. But what I loved the most about Turkey? Despite the amazing cuisine, the weather and landscapes, was the friendliness of the Turkish people. Not once did I ever feel unwelcome or like I was invading, every single Turkish person we met went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and made sure we had a good time, and that really makes it.
I took quite a few cameras whilst I was out there but for now I've only got my phone and DSLR pics so here's just a couple for now and the DSLR ones will go up tomorrow.
I hope you enjoy :)
How have you all been? x

You will no longer worry about wasting fruits at home thanks to his new device created by Taiwanese startup Alchema. The device allows you to connect with a smartphone and make wine and cider with the fruit you have.
The fruit is added to the pitcher with sugar, yeast and water and will be brewed for a couple of weeks. With the smartphone, the users can then decide how sweet and alcoholic their drink should be. It costs around £400, is currently only available in the US, Canada, and Taiwan.
"What better way to reduce food waste at home then by turning leftover fruit into delicious hard cider or wine," said CEO Oscar Chang
