My friend Zoe held a clothes swap today for a handful of friends and I was totally unprepared and didn’t bring anything to swap, but gladly took a chance to spend the afternoon with friends. So while I look a bit pouty in this photo, I’d perked up considerably by the afternoon! I wasn’t really…

This Little Piggy went to an exhibition
The lovely Rebecca Murphy has organised This Little Piggy, an exhibition of 25 artists and 25 little piggy banks, and it’s opening on February 12th at China Heights. Indeed, I shall be one of those 25 artists and have vandalised a little piggy in the most loving way. Let me tell you about this particular…
Friday Fance: Crowdfanced
I’ve had a bit of a bummer of a week with some sad things happening that have disturbed my fance. It seems that when I’m busy and sad I don’t really collect many images, so I mostly crowdsourced the Fance this week on tumblr and this is the result… I found this on Tumblr and…
Where I shop online (UK and USA edition)
Following up on yesterday’s Australian edition, I present the UK and USA edition of “Where I shop online”! It’s not as long as the homegrown plus size shopping post because I have grown to love the UK retailers, Yours Clothing and Evans in particular, and give them my custom regularly! I’ve included links to other…
Rotring Rapidograph instructions
Overnight I had an email from Casey asking me for instructions for the Rotring Rapidograph and I thought I’d upload the scans that Kate took for me to assist all the other Rapidograph owners out there that have pens without instructions! Link to hi res image Link to hi res image Happy drawing!
Where I shop online (Australian edition)
I have been shopping online for a few years now, and having a bunch of local plus sized friends who do the same I just figured that it was something that was quite common. I’m always surprised when people ask me if I am hesitant to shop online, because of international sizing differences, the shipping…
ASOS Curve wriggles its way into my heart
The ASOS Curve collection was launched this week and after being initially disappointed in the line and its lack of adventure, I’m now quite seriously pining over a few pieces. What helped were the reviews by lovely bloggers Christina, Gabi and Sakina – seeing their styling really helped me to envision incorporating these basic garments…
My first toy camera
I finally picked up the processed photos from the first roll out of my new Holga! As was expected, not all of them are hits, but I suppose the only way to learn a new camera is to keep using it. The few that worked are quite lovely! First two shots! This was taken in…
Another Saturday in Brisneyland
The last few times we’ve been to the markets I forgot to pick up flowers, but today Nick helped me pick out the blooms! I actually saw the green chrysanthemums and grabbed them but didn’t know what to pair them with. Nick thought they’d go well with some white oriental lilies, and what do you…
Internet Censorship. No sir, I don’t like it.
Yep, the government is still planning to install mandatory internet censorship and I’m still flaming angry about it. Nick and I are part of StopInternetCensorship.org and we’re having a BBQ in Orleigh Park on Australia Day to chat with supporters and other likely chaps about our campaign against the internet filter. If you can’t make…
