What Ya Doing At The Weekend?

So, it's the weekend what are you up to?
I will tell you what i am doing.
That's where i am going tonight, a talk by Gail Dines and i'm so excited.

I just think this woman is amazing. You can check out one of her websites here. I watched a couple of her youtube videos and she's pretty awesome. If you are interested in this this is another great website www.antipornography.org, its got heaps of resources on it.

Last weekend i checked out the Handmade Show in Oakleigh, Melbourne, to see what my friends were up to there. Pretty cozy venue with a little stage and velvet curtains. I also got to take a picture of this ..rabbit. First i thought it had little boobs but we got corrected pretty quickly by the little artist herself. Those are paws of courz! Didn't you hate that when you were a kid and people didn't know what they were talking about? I sure did.

Cute!

Ok, a picture of my friend Kerri of Vintage Sew And So. I'm afraid she is gonna bite my head off when she sees it, coz she looks a bit angry in it. But she is really a nice lady. She brought her teenage daughter along too. Lucky for her her daughter is really sweet, at that age some girls are lying in a drug induced coma in the street gutter. I won't name any names..
Anyways, that's Kerri and her stall..(my camera is pretty crap with indoor lighting, so this is the only half decent picture).

Love those polka dotted buntings..

Yeah, normally i just loiter around the streets of Melbourne on my weekends.. Last time i ran into this guy.. Dunno, maybe that's what these Melbournians consider to be art/culture? It's fuckin scary!

 

So what you doing? Are there any things you'd like to see or try?

 

I Miss The Freaks

Sometimes i miss NYC. I wish i could just pack up my bags and go there now.
I like the freaks. And i miss them.

Sometimes i see people running around the streets there, shouting or wearing the craziest things or just doing really random shit. I love it. It's so entertaining. 

Even the window displays in the shops are so fun! Old shops, weird shops, random shit. Whatever. I like to just walk around and check out the people and the buildings and all the shops.

Some of the shops look like they're stuck with a window display from like decades ago. Some look like the person doing the window is slightly disturbed.

Ah yeah, and one of the best times we had in NYC was at the Upper East Side at this deli and there were all these cookie old people and i just had such a great time(no photos though, i try to be polite). Man, if i was living there, this would be my local hangout.

Now i have to just scratch all the money together i can so i can go back there soon enough.

What are your favourite places? And why?
