11:24a - well rested - left at Finders Keepers markets, Carriageworks
It's been a little while because I got sick and spent a few solid weeks in bed and then decided to make up for it all when I was up and well. Last week was such fun! I got to go the Australian fashion week with a work buddy of mine. We went for 'work', meaning he had filed a story for it already and these were spare tickets he had. 'Did you bring a notebook??' he asked on the way over, just in case we needed to look like we were working. I saw the TV show, I'd never heard of them before but the show was loud and colourful and we were seated right across from the buyer for womens wear at David Jones so I spent a good deal of the show sending her silent messages to please please please buy the cosmic jumpsuits and playsuits because they were incredible. We went to the Jayson Brundson show next, quite a contrast as it was was very lovely and elegant, despite all the waiting and pushing. I've just finished watching season 2 of Mad Men (sigh!) and it was very Betty Draper appropriate. More jumpsuits, but this time, man-shirt style, my two favourite things combined!!
The next day I found myself interviewing a recently discovered art collective which I very much admire, the Bababa International, stories to come soon. We had initially planned to meet in a park, near a tennis court but our plans got rained out and it was a cafe instead. And suddenly it was Sunday, my favourite day of the week, the start of my weekend and my only full day with Tony. It's formula is always similar and its effect consistent. Breakfast out, retail therapy, gallery/show, trash tv. This weekend I brought home a new baby, a SHINY SILVER MACBOOK and I am so happy. Silly but it is motivating me to work like nothing else. Check out the blog we're co-producing... And watch lots of Arrested Development.
