TIGERLILY SALE // GET ONTO IT!

VER$ACE'S PALACE CAN BE YOURS

Have some extra coins? You're in luck, Gianni Versace's South Beach home is up for sale for a cool $125 million, making it the most expensive home for sale in the U.S.

Since Gianni Versace was murdered on the front doorstep of the mansion in 1992, it has been home to entrepreneur Peter Loftin, who restored the property to its former glory. The enormous beach estate boasts 10 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and fresco embellished courtyard,as well as the mosaic-tilled outdoor pool lined in 24-karat gold!









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).







A little...

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!

Stay dry kids

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.
