In my late night internet traversings I came across Miss Platnum, a Romanian-German singer who combines hip hop, R&B and folk music. She is beyond stunning, right? This is part of a installation work by Finnish artist Johnna Pohjalainen. When I first saw this picture I did a double take because the scale confused me…

Friday Fance: By the seat of my fance
The Design Files posted photos of Scott Weston‘s gorgeous home and work. The colours are stunning and there’s even a wallpaper by Florence Broadhurst, be still my beating heart. Beautiful sketches by Frank Frazetta, who passed away recently. If I had to write anything about these drawings I would probably die blushing, so I will…
Friday Fance: Dripping with Fance
Love these beaded rosettes! I am pretty inspired to see if I can make myself something similar. Lots of something similar, and cover myself in them! This is from a photoshoot done for Numéro #112, and found via Amy Uhrich‘s blog. I love Elsa Mora, and her work. I don’t know if I’ve adequately expressed…
Friday Fance: Fancify
I’ve seen quite a few triangular shaped rings recently, but this is the most fancy. The turquoise enamel (I’m assuming it’s enamel!) on brass is perfect! The only concerning feature is that flag… knowing me, I would take my own eye out with it. This is strictly for an afternoon of lounging about with friends…
Friday Fance: Prodigal Fance
I don’t think anyone noticed the gaping hole left by the Fance this past two Fridays, but I’m bringing it back. Just for you, my adoring readership who didn’t really miss it at all. Who am I kidding? I just like collecting images of fancy stuff. It’s all for me! This gorgeous photo is an…
Friday Fance: In the schmick of time
I’m curious to know if “schmick” is a word that lots of people use, or if it’s just common to Brisbane. I call things that are fancy and awesome and good looking “schmick” and all my friends and family get it and use it too. Sometimes I call Nick “Schmick” because well, he is. Recently,…
Friday Fance: Ye Olde Fance
So you dyed your hair purple in the 90s to piss off your parents? You weren’t the first one. This hairstyle won first prize at the Hairdressing Fashion Exhibition in London 1935! This is the candy cupboard that belongs to Such Pretty Things. I think my diabetes got diabetes! But still, it’s a joy to…
Friday Fance: Butterflies & absinthe
This photograph of Edwardian actress Phyllis Monkman is breathtakingly beautiful. I wish I had a costume like that to muck around in! I’m not a huge ice cream fan, but I adore how this has been displayed. The flavours include: black sesame, lanvender, melon, sweet adzuki bean, green tea and miso. Photo by M Harrison.…
Friday Fance: A pastel mood
This collection of photos is all pale and pastelly by coincidence because I’m not normally drawn to lighter hues. I am very much enjoying all these things right now though! This is but a sampling of Julie Moon’s lovely sculptural pieces, you really ought to go check her portfolio out! There’s so much stuff I…
Friday Fance: The Colour of Your Fance
I came across The Colour thanks to Mishy, and spent a good 45 minutes browsing through the collection of fantastic Australian creative talent. I thought I’d do an art/ illustration/ design curation of fance based on talent I found through The Colour. Laura La Rayna, a performer particularly noted for her aerial ring prowess. Laura…
