^[1]I met Ariana back in 2001. She played the lead in my first ever directing effort, “Thicker than Water ^[2],” and she did the accent as well: Southeast Louisianian ^[3] (nearly impossible for even the natives). She’s since been in several features including “Me without You,” and “Susie Gold,” in theatre, music videos, commercials and on TV.

Anyway, after having been acting away in New York for a few years and returned to London with her smokin’ American boyfriend, she has just launched her own line of handmade, made-to-order designs called “Noodle Designs.” Bangles, cushions, chests, accessories.

You can buy directly from Ariana off Facebook ^[4], or wait ’til the designs are available at Of Cabbages and Kings ^[5] boutique, Stoke Newington.
