Just in time for the end of London Fashion Week, Google has partnered with one of the UK’s hottest young designers to create what they claim to be the world’s only ‘Really Blue’ jeans.

Designed to match their new Pixel smartphone ‘Really Blue’ edition, they’re the work of Cambridge-born designer Christian Cowan.

What is edging and how do you do it?

At just 22-years-old, the Central St Martins graduate has already designed outfits for some of the world’s biggest stars, including Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, and Miley Cyrus.

A bride who overcame her stammer to read her vows on her wedding day is now teaching her baby daughter to talk.

29-year-old Jennifer Vaughan’s stammer was so bad that she struggled to even say her own name – and, because of this, feared she’d never find love.

She’d never have dreamed that she’d be saying her own vows to her now-husband Ashley Vaughan, of whom she met… Read the full story

Sex is great, but watching someone else do it can be about as erotic as an episode of Homes Under The Hammer.

Porn is boring, fake, and probably to blame for 90% of the bad sex I had in my early twenties.

It also runs a high risk of being unethical, unless you’re willing to pay, which I’m not.

I resent paying £8 for an Uber, let alone £30 for something that isn’t even aimed at me.

Because let’s face it, it’s not.

Ridiculous or real? (Picture: Getty)

The same is true of sex in the movies.

Compared with sex IRL, ‘movie sex’ is a mythical concoction of good lighting, choreographed movements and vagina patches.
