THE GREAT FLOOD, and some poetic pictures.

 Hey! After a really hot day here it ended with the uuse (that is usual, for you guys not quite with it). The typical garden variety thunder-storm with weather similar to that on 2012 The Movie. As we were driving into the orthodontist, much like that on 2012, a giant cyclone was following us. The heavens opened up and gave everything to stop me going to that dreaded pregnant teeth hygienist Nazi. But, it seems, nothing with get in my Dad's way of a monthly checkup. On the bright side i love the rain with warm tea, so all is well. Except my teeth. They kinda hurt...

Supermarket Blues

Do we really need.
All this want and greed

Jumbo, whopper, tripled size
Bigger, better, is that all just lies?

I could have my life supersized
Enlarged, with fries, too

But I just like it small,
Thank You.

FRANKIE, danke. Ich Liebe Dich.

Hello! Today i got Frankie in the mail. After sitting at the mailbox for 1/2 an hour it was definetly worth it. In it this month theres the usual. Your fair amount of bearded man, dressed up diana camera's, and the story of a 26 year old terminal patient. Frankie never ceases to amaze with their ingenious, funny, thought-provoking and interesting magizine.


 Daniel Evans gives what he thinks are the best film insults to live by.My personal favourite being: "Stick your drink up your arse Tania. I'd rather swallow razor blades than drink with you. Oh, by the way, i'm not alone. I'm with Muriel." - Muriel's Wedding (1994). 
                                  
Frankie is sponsoring the Australian and New Zealand part of the Diana World Tour, which is a exhibition being held all over the world (including in New York, Paris and London) turning Vintage toy camera's into art piece's. The Australian exhibition will be held at Sydney's Lomography Juust Shoot Shop at Blender Gallery (Feb the 3rd to the 19th),  in Brisbane at 16 Elizabeth Street, Paddington (Feb the 3rd to the 19th) and at No Vacancy Gallery, 34-40 Jane Bella Lane in Melbourne ( Feb 25th to March 11th). For all you Kiwi's there's an exhibition going to be held at The Department Store, 10 Norhcroft Street Takapuna from March 18th to the 31st.
                              


Also about 2 weeks ago i got Frankie's Photo Album. It's full of cute and quirky pictures that make you want to get out there and start snapping! It's available online here or at your local newsagent or bookstore.

Hello! I did this on the same day by the way. THAT'S why i'm wearing the same shirt. Just thought i'd clear that up.  Sorry it's so long! I'll try and link the video i was talking about down the bottom, the qualities so bad on the camera i was using. Also a big shooout out to the first person to comment check out her blog here.




First Vlog! (oo-er)

Hey this is my first Vlog! Oo-er. As for the dancing... i'm sorry you had to see that. I loaded this on Youtube and it said 10 minutes to load and i was like "Fo-sho?" but then it 11 then 20 and now it's saying 12 hours or something... fingers crossed it works ( please tell me it doesn't otherwise) Also! As i said in the video comment (and include your address) and i'll send you a christmas present! Hope your having a great week.

christmas wishlist

                                      






1. Contribute money to World Vision's Smiles Christmas Foundation
2. Lonely Hearts velvet dress from their Winter 2011 Collection " Little Bandits"
3. Diana F+ Camera with flash US$ 99.92 from The Lomography Shop 
4. Black vintage Bike from Papillionaire 
5. SPACES Frankie's new mook (magazine/book) about rad rooms around the World. To buy click here. 
I just like to say that's what i WANT but not what i need. Just like my P.E teacher used to say "You WANT a drink of water, you don't NEED one." I guess the whole idea of Christmas has become so materialistic, weather you're religious or not. But even if you don't believe in God, Christmas is still a time to get together and celebrate how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful country. Most of us have everything we need here, fresh water, food and a bed to sleep in at night. Unfortunately not all of us are this lucky. Did you know 1/3 of the World's population lives in poverty? That's why this Christmas i highly encourage you to contribute to a great cause such as World Vision. This year they have a foundation called "Smiles", especially for making donations at Christmas. This Christmas please think about those who aren't probably as lucky as you. Anyway on that serious note, i hope your having a great day and are enjoying the 30 degree heat!
