If you were one of the (nearly) 1400 revellers that came
along to I Used To Skate Once 5 last week -
THANKS FOR COMING!
What an amazing night.
Here is a shot of the queue, which at one point,
went right up to the corner to Brunswick Street.
Also, apologies to those who came, but couldn't get in...

The standard of art was again incredible and so diverse.
You can now also view the full collection on the blog -
http://skateonce.blogspot.com
Better still, you can come and see them all in person
at The Outpost where they will be hanging until the 30th of July.
Thank you to the musicians that played and inspired us too -
Kirrin Cullinan, Secret Birds, Stemford Hiss and Doom Doom.
Thanks again to The Zoo for their amazing support and our
sponsors Carhartt, Seven Skates, Red Bull, Vodka O and Vans.
On the Friday night, I went to Philip Bacon to see Lisa Adams
stunning new paintings.
You might remember Lisa's paintings from the Optimism
exhibition at GoMA -
See her new exhibition here -

I also made it to the new Nine Lives Exhibition which featured
4 visiting Sydney and Melbourne artists, entitled Happy Endings -

Have you seen the Coco Avant Chanel film yet?
I enjoyed it but it certainly wasn't as good as I had hoped.
We have some new season deliveries already!

No need to read your tea leaves my psychic sisters.
Antipodium's gifted designer Geoffrey J Finch had
a vision and conjured up this enlightening collection
of transeasonal delights.
The colour palette is so refreshing and at these prices,
they will definitely disappear before your eyes.
You may have had dejavu with the Kama Sutra dress?
This is a newer version of last year's Sister Hood dress
and is my favourite piece from the collection.
You can wear it hooded, one-shouldered, cowl necked,
strapless, off the shoulder, belted or loose...
It's a really cool piece.
The bareback tank is also a great wardrobe piece.
You can't see the detail in these photos, but the straps
cross over at the back where it dips down really low
so it's quite sexy bare or is interesting layered.
I also love the coated cotton, particularly in the Olive.
Antipodium in-store now at Blonde Venus.
Introducing...

Amber and Ebony designed these incredible accessories for Antipodium's
memorable Spring/Summer Runway show at Australian Fashion Week
in May.
I was lucky enough to meet the girls after the show and now
we are the first store in Australia to stock their pieces.
They are so beautiful and bizarre at the same time, in the
intensity of their size, weight and their incredible gloss finish.
They have to be seen to be believed.
Make Believe currently available exclusively at Blonde Venus.
