Or more specifically - Robert Redford and Mia Farrow in the movie. Swoon.

A call to bring the world together...
Perhaps you would like to consider affirming the Charter for Compassion over here?
So much potential to make the world a magical place...

Page Me!
Quite a few weeks ago now we went to the opening night of this exhibition. I have been meaning to mention how great it was - the photos were fabulous and they had a whole candy bar of old favourite sweets at genuine prices - 40c got me a can of pasito, a packet of fags/fads and a major sugar come down. I also picked up a couple of packets of the ole love heart lollies for 20c a piece, which taste just like those little pink fluoride tablets we used to get as kids.
We were gushing about how they are all old school and not at all different from how they used to be, except, what's that? EMAIL ME?
Seems I'm living in the past!
The Gangsters' Ball!
Remember how ages ago we got tickets to the Gangster's Ball? Well it was last night and was heaps of fun! I got my hair done up in some 1940s victory rolls by Kat, the gorgeous gothic fusion belly dancer at Wildilocks in town and didn't it turn out incredibly well!? I also indulged in a pair of fluffy, feathery Shu Uemera eyelashes for some uberglam - divine!

Retro Corner
Our apartment seems to be recessing through time starting in the back corner and spreading forward. There seems to be a lot of dark wood and orange featuring at the moment, and my latest impulse lust have Telegram map hasn't helped!
I do like how the corner has history though - the lamp came from a particularly dodgy little junk store in Collingwood in which the proprietor also sold Chopper's collection of paintings.
The cabinet was found for $20 underneath a pile of pallets at a going out of business sale, brought home, sanded and varnished as a place to store all my fabric stash.
I'll never make it to the Melbourne Cup BBQ today if I even begin on the couch's long and hilarious story.
The stunning white vase from Dinosaur Designs was an engagement gift from our dear friends in Sydney.
The tikis were purchased at the Pagan Pleasures tiki exhibition night held recently at Outre Gallery - the HTB has a thing for Tiki Chic.
And the wooden Hawaiian sailor? Well, that's what happens when the HTB heads unattended to the Op Shop with $2 in his pocket. Revolting.
Edit: Loving my timing here, there must have been some forces at work! After posting this I went and checked Pip's blog and realised that this post fits perfectly with the latest "my place and yours" - Blog HQ! I blog from the comfort of my big orange velvet couch and now here it is for all to see!

Brisniland Weekender!
Spent the weekend enjoying the humidity of muggy ole Brisniland. Was beyond lovely to get up there and see everyone, especially considering it was the birthday of one BFF and the last time I will see another BFF before she and her boy head off on their amazing 9-10 month adventure (we tried to convince her it was ok to have a baby out of wedlock and that she didn't have to go on 'holidays' for 9 months, but she's still sticking to her story that they actually are going adventuring??)
What do you get a beautiful friend that's travelling light for a year? Well, we decided to all stitch a little bit of love into a patch for her pack so she can carry it with her everywhere she goes!
Patches aside - Brissie just isn't Brissie without a loooong lunch of tapas and cocktails - divine! We missed you though Al!
I'm just stoked I got to debut my dream - two feathers in one ear. Bliss!

Best. Youtube. Ever.
Pete says this should be retitled "Alana sings 5 octaves on the piano". Sorry Almeister. But it's hilarious and you know it's true! I love you!
I love my HTB
Look at the present he gave me to celebrate quitting my shitty job! A series of pictures he went out and took today just for me! He is so sweet and I love him so!
