It’s a Mystery to Me
RCA Secret, the Little Shop of Horrors & Hipstery offer a dash of creative surprise
Aside from tax inspections, break–ins and impressively convincing transsexuals called Mary, nothing beats a slice of oft–forgotten surprise to brighten one’s day. A dash of mystery to put a spring in the old step. A brush with the unknown to turn that frown upside–down.
Perhaps the original ‘creative whodunnit’, this year’s RCA Secret is already peeking around the corner (Nov 13–20). Y’know the one: a wall of beautiful postcards at £40 each, all secretly signed on the reverse: maybe you get a priceless Emin, maybe a pretty–but–less–collectable Ermine.

Should you fancy your creativity even more mysterious then wander Hackney–wards, where Viktor/Silas (even his name is an mystery) Wynd and Suzette Field of The Last Tuesday Society infamy have recently launched their Little Shop of Horrors for everything from two–headed skeletons to antique gynaecologica, with no doubt a few gin–soaked talks in–between.
Of course, if you’re more of a heart–on–your–sleeve, surprise–on–your–chest (and less a formaldehyde and specula) type, then I urge you to check out Hipstery. You pay 17 Euros and tell them your size. They send you an eminently cool, limited–edition, rare as hen’s teeth t–shirt. And you get no say in the matter. At all. See, isn’t surprise wonderful? Even if her name isn’t really Mary.
