New Season! Dr Denim Jeans for All, Carhartt @ The Outpost, More Karen Walker Jewellery & More!




Hi Everyone!

Last Sunday I ventured out to a Day on the Green at Mt Cotton and
absolutely adored Tex Perkins & The Dark Horses, The Sunnyboys
(with a CD signing!) and the incredible Elvis Costello & The Imposters.
It's rare to see any of these performers let alone together on one day.
Perfect!




Thank you to the Qantas Magazine for featuring Blonde Venus,
 The Outpost and Flamingo Cafe (amongst other great Brisbane businesses)
 in their latest issue.





Thank you also to Brisbane's Style Magazine for featuring Austin Moro's 
Calypso Clutch on the front cover!




Fabulous designer friends Craig & Karl (Craig Redman & Karl Maier)
have just installed this delicious piece at Sephora's Union Square, NY store as part of a 
permanent installation.
Do a drive by.

New Season! Cheap Monday @ The Outpost + More ;)




Hi Everyone!

I am not exaggerating when I say that every single show
and exhibition that I saw in Sydney was absolutely amazing!
At Semele Walk (the Handel Opera) my hands were gripped to
the balcony the whole way through.
It was the most innovative Opera and one of the best stage shows
I have ever seen.





David Byrne & St Vincent pre-show at the beautiful State Theatre
 
Again, David Byrne and St Vincent were incredible.
Virtually the whole show was choreographed, including their wonderful Brass Band
which gave the performance so much more personality.
They even played three Talking Heads songs This is the Place,
Burning Down the House and Road To Nowhere.
We gave them two standing ovations.


Brooklyn band, E.S.G. had the whole room dancing.


I somehow ended up at the Rolling Stone Awards Party!

 
The Francis Bacon collection at the Art Gallery of NSW was powerful through his
unique eye and his amazing use of colour.




Sky Mirror (2006) by Anish Kapoor at the front of the MCA


Here, I'm with friends Emma Sayer and Erin Dawson in the reflection of the back of the Sky Mirror
 
My Red Homeland (2003) by Anish Kapoor
Sculpture made from red wax with revolving arm that takes an hour to circle and keeps the piece evolving.
 
Marble, resin and bronze sculpture by Hany Arnanious on the rooftop of the MCA.
The cafe there has fantastic food and of course, there's the view...





"Dust" by Cong Lingqi @ White Rabbit Gallery


Charcoal and pencil drawing by Zhang Chun Hong @ White Rabbit Gallery

The White Rabbit Gallery is a privately owned gallery showing contemporary
Chinese art, specifically from the year 2000 onwards.
It is a beautiful four level space housed in a former Rolls Royce showroom
near Central Station in Sydney's Chippendale.
As you walk in, you're welcomed by a quirky gift store and a tea house.
These two pieces above are a little taster of the amazing level of work that is on
show at this wonderful gallery.
A great way to spend an afternoon.
