Nick and I are campaigning against the “clean feed” under the banner of Stop Internet Censorship. One of the reasons for forming this blog is to support fortnightly meetings, so those who are concerned about the clean feed and the impact it will have can discuss the issues at hand and how to better solve…

Ahh, giftmas grief.
So last night, I decided to put up a festivus pole. I always get very grumpy around this time of year. It’s unbearably humid, I get flashbacks of my glandular fever symptoms which make me feel as if I were moving through mud, and I think most people are just generally struggling to keep up…
Aaaand the winner is….
I have been deliberating over the winner of the Ezibuy $50 voucher for about an hour, and decided to make up little collages to help me! Thank you to everyone who entered; I am really delighted that you had a go at creating a fancy outfit for yourself, and Piaochong and Samedog even put together…
Alannah Hill steals Once Upon logo!
Alannah Hill has completely ripped off the “Once Upon” logotype that was designed by Tabitha Emma for the show of the same name. Yep – that’s the show I was recently part of. I’m pretty shocked, to tell you the truth, because I have admired their dresses for years from afar. Apparently this isn’t the…
OOTDs and a giftmas present for you!
Last night I went to see a screening of The French Kissers (Les Beaux gosses) courtesy of Four Thousand and I decided to pull my forced grin out for you all to enjoy! The film is hilarious, I highly recommend that you catch it – I’m still thinking about it and the cheesy electro soundtrack!…
Wacom Bamboo Touch review
I have a wrist injury from my job as a graphic designer, as you might know, so I’m always on the lookout for pointing devices that don’t aggravate the pain on a daily basis. A few months ago I got rid of the Mighty Mouse that came with my iMac because it has no ergonomic…
Help me pick three to submit to Curvy!
Curvy publishes a book of over 100 female artists, graphic designers and illustrators every year, and each year I am completely intimidated by it. Earlier this year I submitted work for the first time and was pretty dejected when it wasn’t accepted… I guess I am pretty bad at dealing with rejection :P So I…
Creepy TV ads from my childhood
This jingle has always creeped me right out, and now they’re using it in a revised ad (I think with some of the original talent?) People think I’m strange when I start moaning “more, moooore, MOOOOORE, MORE BUTTERMILK” but it’s the ad that’s making me do it. I swear. GOBBLEDOCKS. I was just out of…
Blanket magazine interview and secret goodies!
The lovely Caitlin from Blanket Magazine interviewed me for the Holiday issue, and I was rather chuffed to be in the company of Si Scott and Jessica Hische! I also contributed a very very very limited edition December desktop too! You can buy the current issue or subscribe to Blanket to get all the presents.
Friday Fance: Ridiculously huge hair bows
Today we will be discussing giant hair bows. I know Lady Gaga and Juicy Couture did this last year and at the beginning of this year, but I haven’t seen any giant hair bows in real life until just recently. This morning on Twitter, Marianne expressed fears of regressing back to traumatic childhood giant hair…
