COSMIC WONDER

Inspired by Prometheus, a film very worth while seeing - despite the average reviews.  Watching Michael Fassbender play David is worth every penny of that over-inflated movie ticket.

A Happy Death

AHD - A Happy Death is quite possibly the coolest card co. around, featuring some sharp work from artists such as Billie Justice Thomson (Melb), Mark Drew (Tokyo) and Kyle Montgomery (Syd).  A pretty big incentive to send snail mail magic, and finally an alternative to sending ironic kitten cards (though they do that too).

Umbrella Appreciation Day

The humble Umbrella, Brolly, Parasol, Bumbershoot or whatever you choose to call it has been around since the time of ancient civilisations. Rain, hail or shine it has kept the likes of Cleopatra, Elizabeth Bennet and  Gene Kelly covered. 

In light of this down pour lets show our brollies some appreciation today. 

If Rihanna can do it so can you!

Fiona Hall

Braving Sydney's torrential rain yesterday to visit the MCA's renovated wing - Adelaide based artist Fiona Hall was the standout. Hall is known for her sculptures carved from soap and waste products such as VHS tapes, plastics and sardine tins. Added bonus - she looks like a tougher version of Jane Birkin.

RWB & Jenny Kee: "kindred spirits"

Can you imagine a more exciting creative marriage than Romance Was Born's Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales teaming up with fashion legend Jenny Kee? 

Anna Plunkett, Jenny Kee and Luke Sales

For Jenny's first presentation since 1981, the Romance pair came on board as co-stylists! "We wanted to do something a bit new with Jenny's scarves. We wanted to give the Romance Was Born take on her designs. Jenny loves the way that Anna wears the scarves - that's how it came about," Luke Sales explained.

"We are kindred spirits," Anna added, "We share a certain understanding of creativity and we both have a really natural, organic way of working. Plus we both share a love of colour!"

Anna and Luke had Jenny's designs reproduced on lycra unitards "to contemporise the looks." The unitards formed the foundation for their amazing layered styling.

Favourite looks? "Obviously the waratah," according to Anna, "That design resonates deeply with Jenny and is her totem. Luke and I also loved the pink outfit, with the big Flamingo Park bag, we called her the "pinkie party girl!"

Anna Plunkett adds finishing touches backstage to the Pinkie Party Girl!

We asked Anna for some tips on how to wear Jenny's scarves, "There are heaps of ways! Keep one in your bag because they're great layering pieces. For cold days, or if you're going out at night and you want to add something to your neckline. I love tying them into a turban; it feels glamorous."
