I always love coming across this photo, Club Allegro Fortissimo by William Klein. From my years of musical training (cough, makes me sound more knowledgeable than I actually am!) I think that translates to Club Fast and Loud, which is badass. I have been busy/ overwhelmed in the past month and haven’t organised another Aquaporko…

Performing beauty: Editing out my flaws.
I am a woman. A feminist, a fat activist and a healthy body image advocate. I’m also an artist and a blogger (I struggle to identify myself as a writer) with a pretty significant audience. There are things about me that you might know, picked up from what I explicitly tell you about myself or…
The Axis of Fat hit Southbank.
I am so fortunate to have wonderful local friends who are also devastatingly attractive fatshionistas. A few years ago when I was bemoaning the lack of fat activism in Australia, I was getting to know two of my friends Zoe and Sonya a lot better and out of our friendship we developed the Axis of…
5 Lessons Learned/ 5 Favourites
Amelia Pontes has been doing this thing for the last few weeks called 5 Lessons Learned and 5 Favourites and I really like it as a meditation on the week gone. I might respectfully rip her off and do my own reflection here… and I think it would be awesome if lots of beautiful, self-aware…
New camera!!
We bought a new camera the other day! I’ve been pining for a DSLR for years, and when we came across a good deal (posted by one of our Twitter friends) we basically rushed out to get it! It’s a Canon EOS 1000D, just an entry level camera, but I think it’s a good place…
If you want me I’m painting bows on my nails out in the treehouse.
I love Tumblr for a lot of reasons, but mostly because it introduces me to artists I haven’t come across before. This photograph is the work of Annelise Kretschmer, a German portrait photographer. I love it for the fancy neckpiece/ dress and the expression of the subject because most of us smile for a photograph,…
A few pretty things
The poster I designed for Charlie Mayfair‘s film clip tour. The latest issue of Peppermint magazine with my lettering (and a BUNNY!) on the cover. Other things in my display cabinet… Some iPhone photos
Flowering plants, fanciful people and a fabulous pig
When you saw this pretty piggy did you clasp your hands together and squeal?! That’s what I did. Apparently this is part of a jewellery spread for Vogue Russia featuring Cartier and Chopard. There are some more photos over at fashionologie! (I just hope those earrings are clip-ons…) I’m pretty sure watermelons have the best…
Up on the hill
Wednesday was an Ekka (the Royal Show) holiday for most Briswegians and I wanted to get out of the house for a little while because working at home is great and all but sometimes you want to do stuff outside! We went up to the top of Mt Coot-tha. That’s Brisbane! I wish you could…
An OOTD experiment, including some amazing sunglasses
If you like checking out other people’s outfits, you’ll have come across this sort of photo before. Now it’s my turn to bastardise the whimsical outfit photo! (I’m not hating, I swear!) Yesterday was a day of huge amusement, with all the Lane Bryant/ #teamfance drama so I was feeling a bit playful and asked…
