The second monthly column is out in “That’s Shanghai” (first one is here)- pandemonium has broken out on the streets as people rush to get a copy, if you are one of those who was injured in the melee than I apologise.

You’ll notice that there’s a photo of a shoe included in the column that I’ve never put online. That’s not because I’m fobbing you off with the dregs, it’s because I made a solemn oath not to have any overlap between the this site and that page.

That, however, is proving tough since I normally see something cool- take a photo, write about it within the next day or so.

Or receive an email of some shoes, sit on them for about 3 months and then soak up all the praise when I think the person who sent it in might have stopped reading. Whichever.

Instead I now have to decide whether something would look better online or printed (i.e. whether I can write 100 words about it, or stretch it to 250).

Maybe it would be better to take an approach where the column is more of a roundup / rewrite / extended Director’s cut with deleted scenes version of the blog?

Basically what I’m fishing for here is comments that say:

Swiss- I don’t care how often you recycle the same old tat.
And what’s more, I promise I won’t tell the editor of That’s Shanghai that you’re doing it. Inshallah
