Dirty Granny Launch Party That Ms Darlinghurst. She sure is a kidder. We all have our weird and wonderful phobias. Snails, spiders, feet, but mine is wool. Anything mohair or chunky knit particularly bothers me, but all knits freak me out slightly. So much so, I once went to the extent of asking a date [...]
Tired of another Thursday night shopping at the same soulless shopping centres filled with rack after rack of identical clothes and accessories? Feel like going somewhere fun where you can find a more individual style and meet with a local designer, all while listening to some great music and maybe having a relaxed drink? That [...]

I walked past a church in Elizabeth Bay where the homeless often sleep and found this recently. What an amazing construction! How many good bags did they need to drink to build this ‘bed’? I’m categorising this post under ‘Art’
I have a phobia. It’s strange, it’s embarrassing and it’s legit… I am afraid of wet wool. Just ask the EX-boyfriend who surprised me with a wooly jumper and glass of water one morning. So you can imagine my trepidation when I sat down at Pocket Bar on Sunday for a casual cheese and wine [...]
I remember watching a documentary about Spencer Tunick years ago and being utterly amazed. An unknown artist at the time, he convinced hundreds of people to get completely naked in public, all in the name of art. I always said if he made it to Sydney I’d [...]
