Description:
It's swap party time again courtesy of QUT! Come along next Wednesday and revamp your wardrobe the creative and sustainable way. Simply donate up to five garments which you will exchange for a button per piece. When doors swing open, fight your way through the racks of others' donated wares, which you can then ‘buy' again with your sweet button currency.
Event: Swap Meet
Stimulus: Cheap Treasure
The J. Peterman Company
The forgotten art of the sock monkey has been resurrected by the one and only J Peterman. Avid Seinfeld watchers will remember that Elaine worked for the enigmatic Peterman, whose velvety timbre and gift for describing an everyday cardigan was unsurpassable. Killing time on my new favourite blog the other day, I was overjoyed to discover that J Peterman actually does exist, and not only does he exist, he's online.
Grand Scheme Party
Dammnn, ain't nothing finer than a Grand Scheme p-arty! This blowout has free tipples, NY Slice with silver service, a pop-up shop with designer threads at discount prices, a fixed gear bike show, live graff artistes and bangin' party tunes - all for only 5 clams entry. It's gonna be ‘Ghetto Chic' fo shiz ya'll.
APTMNT
The ever evolving Apartment boys can now put another feather in their cap with the launch of their own house brand, APTMNT. The very first collection includes all the staple pieces a young gentleman needs to gallivant around the town: a sweet range of quality shirting, a seriously good pair of jeans, and a chino pant.
Lost Pigeon
There's a pigeon lady who lives across the road from my boyfriend's house. She's a genuine pigeon lady (perhaps Brisbane's only): sitting on her front porch with her walking frame and shawls; her flock of grey feathered children nesting peacefully around her.
Lost Pigeon is not the story of the one that got away (kind of like the Mormon or Amish teenager who escapes the compound).
Limedrop's AW 09 collection
Limedrop's latest, the Autumn Winter '09 Collection is titled ‘The Huntsman'. Now, when we think ‘huntsman' we are forgiven for thinking either of the relatively harmless variety of big, furry, crawly things - that still scare most of us into a congeal state of fear - or men in plaid, found in ‘the woods' with rifles.
My Monkey's Uncle
Attention overly-patriotic Australians: it's time to take down the Australian flags you taped to your car windows for Australia Day. Yes, white Barina parked at McWhirters on Saturday night - I am talking to you. I don't want to get all Sam Kekovich on you, but if you really want to do your country a favour, buy Australian made instead.
