best Halloween costume for this year

goes to the living Banksy painting (more pix here too). Nice.

(psfk again)

new band on my radar

Platinum Blonde. Hilarious. I just emailed my good friend Aaron in Canada to ask about the general consensus on this band as they were from Toronto originally (and Aaron is somewhat of a music guru) but hello Spinal Tap. Except for real. I mean check out the name for a start. But they also had some massively awesome glam rock noise tunes like this one here. Turns out Crystal Castles did a pretty tinny version of it just recently but………….they’ve just re-released it featuring Robert Smith and beats me if it isn’t a fricking awesome version. Robert Smith never sounded so happy about not being in love.

Original props in an NME article here. The Wild Palms – ‘To The Lighthouse (Team Ghost remix) and These New Puritans tune are pretty good too. Plus more but I haven’t listen to them all yet. Have to run to a fancy dress party dressed as a strawberry now instead…

massively awesome

I know I use that word (awesome) a lot but this is great. Robocop? Field of Dreams? Hahahaha.

Melbourne’s best macaroons

Apparently macarons (macaroons?) are the new black. If this excellently cool macaroon design at Melbourne Macaron Competition 2010 is anything to go by, the rest of them must have been so great.

Click the pic for article (words not pictures though unfortunately. Mysteriously there are no more pix anywhere..).

(thank you Broadsheet for being as awesome as you so currently are)

oh man. Why do I keep finding amazing fashion websites right now?

The worst thing about committing to pay off your credit card when the Australian dollar is at an all-time high against the US one is that you mysteriously start finding ALL sorts of amazing, really well priced, e-stores from America. The last time this happened I found Need Supply Co. and ended up buying a pair of $200 leggings which have above-the-knee panels of really soft, black leather sewn up the front of them. Goddamn they make me happy. Just not so much so in the payment commmitment plan! (but I’m so happy;) ). The time before? Plasticland and fred flare. Now both I and my friend Sarah Madness have various bits of homewares and shooooooooooes which we don’t need but are totally freaking beautiful/hilarious. This time? I just found this. The boutiques section of Refinery 29. I can’t deal with this amazingness…

(ps. This trail of goodness started from an original link to this amazing skirt from killahbeez, a new and pretty cool North American blog I just got onto).

(pps. Always check out the music sections of these blogs (killahbeez included). They always have great mixtapes for finding new music.)

another one

Just as brilliant! Again from the mysteriously cool Vientes Cuatro Dientes. Haven’t heard of these guys before… Liking this shop.

Click to jump.

(ps. If anyone can figure out how to actually purchase things from these guys, can you please tell me? I’m trying to buy the yours/mine pillows but it’s not letting me! I figured it out. The browser at work just wasn’t working properly! PayPal button clearly visible now)

cute as

Show Me The Word leggings via Vienti Cuatro Dientes. Brilliant;)
