NEW AND FABULOUS IN THE CAPITAL CITY OF STYLE HOPPING MAD? course you are. And they say the galahs are in the bush? Wrong Bush, methinks. Gallery OH, can you believe it?? Are these not the cutest little ladies you've ever seen? All the way from the USA just for the Melbourne Cup Carnival. The ladies are dressed up and ready to go.... ceramic insanities by Robin Van Valkenburg. In store now..... A COOL SCARF THAT'S HOT? Yep - it's easy when it's made from 100% cotton by Melbourne's very own Ella Sanders. Perfect for when you aren't wearing much else - add to a little summer dress, skimpy top and jeans. AND THEY HUNG NED KELLY FOR A HORSE! Can't see anyone bothering with tribute artworks to Alan Greenspan in 100 years time. Just a hunch. Who'da thunk that buying and selling Nothing has its limits? Seems the gravy train can be cancelled, just like the 8.15 from Frankston. Hey, if it means we get a better sense of what's real and valuable, then it's not for nought. Ask yourself next purchase: is this so good, so clever, so meaningful that it will lift my spirits and sustain me? If you don't need it, don't buy it. If it doesn't warm your heart, charm you or make you think, do you need it? Would you give it? Don't buy rubbish, forget mass-produced. Buy art and plant potatoes. MORE NEW BIG NEDS are on their way like the Bush Cockies above top -but they ride outta the gallery faster than you can crash a bank, so be quick. Meanwhile, see more of the new Bush Cockies series here.... (DeadCockiesFly, M. Coote 2008, above) THIS IS THE ONLY kind of precious metal that lasts. You can even leave it out in the rain. If it rains. Park you tan on a gold or silver porcelain ceramic stool this summer. No broker needed. More colours here. If your tan is a litle broad to perch on a stool, then you may prefer the glamourous comfort of black velvet underneath. Just arrived! IT'S COMING, IT'S COMING. Having a fabulous time reconnecting with the city to write this next edition. Bigger and more beautiful than the last, so much to explore, but the deadline looms... You'll be the first to see it.
