NEW AND FABULOUS IN THE CAPITAL CITY OF STYLE THE LOVELIEST ETHELYN OF THEM ALL Go see 'Goodbye Vaudeville Charlie Mudd', and you'll see the loveliest Ethelyn of them all. Julia Zemiro and a fabulous cast weave a spooky tale of theatre and secrets on the banks of the mythical Swanston River, in 1914. The muddy waters are rising, and the lights are going dim..... We were moved to tears by the sweet, perfect, poignant piano-playing lovestruck sideshow 'coon': Unforgettable. (Bravo Mark Jones). Playing at the Malthouse March 6-28. IT'S THE WORLD'S MOST LIVEABLE BOOK THE MELBOURNE BOOK BRAND NEW 2009 EDITION Okay. So you think you know your city? Right. Charles Swanston. Why the main street for this man? The Manchester Unity Building. Built for ...the Oddfellows? And they were 'odd' because....? Rock Goddess Julia Zemiro has adopted this city as her own. Why? Don't you think you should know? Put your hands in the air and step away from that idiotic international meltdown, and come back to what matters. The future and sanity start right here, at home.

HOME GROWN We love this new florist, PRICKLY PEAR - just opened in Port Melbourne. Fabulous window displays, fabulous flowers. People who really care about what they do and it shows.
