My mom, an exhibition...and a trade me fib!

This Wednesday my mothers solo exhibition 'Pretty, as a Picture' will open at Sophie Canon Gallery. Yep real proud... might even be bragging a bit.
Anyway you should pop along if your in town - Melbourne town. It'll be sweet. She's even managed to get the gallery to take this down.... So booze will be on the list. I think the turn out will be alright however, seems New Zealanders know who she is. I just found this listing on Trade Me...
 'Sarah Smuts Kennedy Candelabra'...what a total fib!

EPAULETTE presents....

This Thursday LA DJ troupe Mad V and Koncept , aka The Villains, are hitting NZ for one show only. (This is an Auckland stop, so everyone else check grab a seat now!) Their remixes of “Daft Punk – Around the world” and “Hot Chips – Ready For The Floor” both hit #1 on the Hypem charts and ViceRecords dubbed them a "party machine, revving up tracks like Bloc Party’s “Hunting For Witches' into full on bangers."  With support from Daniel Farley, DJ Lotion, Meltron, Oscar Nutt and Voguing Dance Troupe...this is going to be one hell of a night, so get yourself a ticket and take Friday off now!

Eavesdrop Listening Party!!!!

There are a few things that I have to give to Auckland. One of them is Eavesdrop. Wandering along, mid week, to attend the Wine Cellar was always a favourite.
Yes mustering up the spirit after a booze-fuelled weekend was sometimes hard, but alas upon arrival memories of migraines and stomach pains disappeared entirely.
Wellington you're swell and I promise I won't be leaving you, but to be honest, in the mid week department, you really don't pull through.
No I don't want to party, I want to sit, and I still want to chatter, listen to music and have a glass of wine...or two...
For all you lucky souls still residing in the City of Sails I suggest you head along this Wednesday. You get to listen to new music, hang out with your friends, play scrabble, eat cheese, win prizes...
I mean really.... why wouldn't you?

my idea of heaven

... you walk into a room and take a deep breath of gin and tonic. Seriously, if someone could start pumping atomized gin and lime through the air conditioner at my work for me? I'd be less of a bitch. In fact, I'd be downright delightful.

Bompass & Parr are English jelly specialists and creators of culinary events.... and they are currently holding a sold out event in London in which an old store front has been turned into "alcoholic architecture".... seriously, a room full of gin-laden fog.

I know, I know! it's sold out! and it's in London! but don't you just love new ideas? Their past events look intriguing as well, how about "scratch-and-sniff cinema"? which might be so-so if the film was say Chocolat but Peter Greenaway's The Cook, The Theif, His Wife and Her Lover with smells of 'dusty books' and 'rotting meat' .... brilliant.

p.s. If you haven't seen that movie. Rent it immediately.

Still Life

ahhhh.... so I can't always think what to blog next.
What if I just take the last topic and ask myself if I could create a blog post that would fit under the same title. Unoriginal?

Vincent Bousserez isn't.
