1. The Sophia Webster Mermaid Launderette presentation.
"Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty."

3. This spot-on recreation of Katinka (Milla Jovovich's character) at the Ashley Williams show.

6. The ridiculous life mottos knocking about.
Sadly none as great as the realisation that there's more to life than being really, really, really ridiculously good looking.
