Hello! It’s my second last day in Melbourne and I’m actually writing this from the past. I hope Future Natalie is having an excellent time! Today’s Fance has been curated by my fantastic friend Memily, who has exceptional taste and is a fellow practitioner of the fance. This mer-lady in was sourced from Abigail’s treasures.…

Friday Fance: Leveling up your fance
When case-making caddisflies are in their larval stage they gather material around them to build a protective housing. Hubert Duprat wondered if he could control the materials surrounding caddisflies so he could turn them into little jewelers, and it worked! These cases are made from gold flakes, semi-precious and precious stones as well as the…
Love for naKIMuli
I came across naKIMuli via the fabulously talented Nikki of Decadent Industries. NaKIMuli’s designer Tennille is a wonderful bright spark, designing crazy awesome clothing for people who don’t mind showing off their bodies in fabulous body con garments. The most refreshing part? She does a plus size line as well! HORAH! I’m expecting big things…
Friday Fance: We Can Fance
The Queensland State Library has a flickr account that they constantly update with more and more vintage photographs of life in Queensland. I am fascinated by it, and loved this particular photograph. A commenter pointed out that the photo was entirely staged as none of the fruit are mature enough to pick and the woman…
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…
Friday fance: fance of the now
Trilogy was listed as one of i love typography’s favourite fonts of 2009, and with 103 variants it has incredible flexibility. This sample demonstrates some of that fancy flexibility! Shannon Fricke is one of my favourite stylists. I love the way she uses colour and pattern! This cute cardboard bedroom suite was posted on Tumblr,…
Friday fance: The Fance Is Back In Town
The Fance is back! I’m going to start curating Fance posts from the images that I collect on my tumblr, if y’all don’t mind. 2010 is looking fabulous and busy and finding extra content is getting to be a luxury these days! V Loves U Just The Way UR spread by Terry Tsiolis This shoot…
The Friday unFance
Sometimes things are just the opposite of fance, and they make me grumpy. This is a post dedicated to a few of those things! Censorship is a terrible direction for the Australian government to go, and I am very disappointed and worried about the future. The clean feed is claiming to be about protecting children…
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…
Friday Fance: Shiny things
I very nearly didn’t submit my report today because I just didn’t feel like it. Instead, I put on some music and squeezed out some fance! ⇒ Incredible needlework by benjibot, asking all the hard questions. Who DID die and make you Mr. Fancy? Hmmm? ⇒ For a while I was completely obsessed with the…
