Red Door Burlesque!
Posted upon the 28th of March, 2007
MELBOURNE suffers no dearth of quality cabarets, but Red Door Burlesque has really captured my eye. Hosted by both the Hi Ball girls and one of our favourite performers, the quite excessively talented Marawa, Red Door are offering table seating, cocktails and a show featuring dancing, comedy, Marawa’s maginificent flying trapeze and a stream of […]
More of the Stately Homes
Posted upon the 27th of March, 2007
My good co-student chum Meaghan van Loenen was kind enough to contribute some of her photos from our tour of Labassa. Thank you, Meaghan! These really are marvellous. I love the gumleaves tickling the towertop. Labassa is a curious house – I rather think the potential of the Aesthetic and Art Nouveau elements in the […]

Every month, on a chosen Saturday, everyone in the world should dress up their fanciest, following a theme, and pool their images for a global carnival of glamour and fun! This Saturday is the second i.D.U.D., and […]
A note-ette from the editor
Posted upon the 13th of March, 2007
Hullo, readers. I’m afraid I’m laid out rather long with a dreadful head cold – I was planning a little piece on natural beauty but in my present state of mind I fear it would be about my ears by the second paragraph. To be fair, though, my ears are quite interesting things. As it […]
