More 80s memories…

Have been thinking more about the clubs and bars in Darlinghurst in the late 80s / early 90s.
SITE – next door to the Soho club. Monday nights was MADD club hosted by Maynard. Think Tuesdays were Meltdown (??). Friday night was also great but I can’t remember the name. I remember Saturdays being a goth [...]

Positively brimming with Optimism

It’s been a few days since I saw the 80s exhibition at the Powerhouse, but since Monday I’ve had this song in my head, constantly. I can still clearly remember singing along at the top of my lungs with 1000s of other people one NYE at the Hordern seeing off 1988 and welcoming 1989. And [...]

The Eighties

The Powerhouse Museum is currently showing “The 80s are back” – an exhibition that covers all things from the decade. My friend Rebecca had seen the show and told me that it really highlighted that the 80s was “her decade”. I had never considered the 80s as my own – if I had been asked [...]

Je m’ennui

This last few months I have been meaning to get back to my blog. It has been on a rather long hiatus – longer than even I realised. May was the last entry and a lot has happened since then.
In order to encourage myself to start writing again, I challenged myself to a “post-a-day-January”. And [...]

What the world needs now…

…is another post about Heidi and Naked and Witchery menswear.
But what the hell. Here is another one.
A new sport appears to have emerged in outing some new media campaigns as puffery. (here is one example and I bet the smh is livid that they did this)
Now, I am not sure what people are upset about. That [...]

7 deadly things

I’ve been tagged by Dirk to complete the ’seven things’ meme. Unlike Dirk, I DO use this blog to talk about myself, so you will already know I am a fanta drinker, I used to have a crush on Cliff Richard and KISS scared me to death as a kid.
But what you may not know [...]

The year that is about to be a ‘was’

At a Christmas party back in November I was talking to my CEO and MD. We were talking about the year that nearly was and I said that 2008 for me had been fantastic. They both looked at me like I had gone insane. But for me I have a lot to be grateful for [...]

Will someone shut this woman up?

The morning after Obama’s victory, when any sane person was skipping their way to work, in wonderment that good stuff still really can happen, Miranda Devine gave us this; a stupid segway about Obama smoking pot. While most where writing about what this election meant, the things it signalled, the challenges that the new administration [...]
