MR PORTER LOVE ME
It has finally gone live. MR PORTER is here. Now you too can wallow in the injustice of not having enough dosh to buy what would look amazing on you- only too find some obese, mid life crisis, rich HSBC banker wanker snap it up. Maybe its time to consider prostitution. happy drooling (over the products not me and not me as a product. right?).
Friends of Folk Festival: ATTEND OR DIE.
Although I am a big fan of any assistance towards the Queensland flood relief; token gestures from 'the man'; donating a 0.5 percent of profit from, I dont know- a four step hair removal system makes me want to place these people on an overflowing river of disgust vomit.
This is not the case with the third annual Friends of Folk Festival in Brisvegas on March sixth. Let me clarify this, the guys who run this event; The Modern Enthusiasts work for next to or if not absolutely nothing and are donating ALL ticket proceeds to the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal. Not to mention that this festival has a pretty fine line up of Brisbane acts including the always cheerful Gin Club, the Sia -esque Emma Dean and The Flumes. Apart from the music this event has heaps of other events including a selection of Brissy short films including Josh Tanner's amazing film The Foal.
The Gin Club.
Friends of Folk Festival is not part of the new wave of festivals which sees the just- turned -eighteen -set ingesting ecstasy and listening to Kesha. This is about a sense of community and supporting all aspects of Brisbane's local talent in a non for profit context. It's also a chance to mop up some of the mess and get the Vegas going again.
The third annual Friends of Folk Festival is at the Old Museum, Bowen Hills, Brisbane on March the sixth.
FOFF tickets can be brought via the website through Oz Tix.

Desktop Magazine
Now you can catch me blogging it up for Desktop Magazine as well as somenewplace.
Desktop covers a whole range of fun stuff and is really really swish for moments in the day when you want to kill yourself after realizing you resent being stuck behind a computer all day working for the man.

HOT IN THE CITY
It’s time for Sydney -siders to do what Sydney siders do best- a gaudy display of glitter and glossy goodness.
Angus Malcolm, Boys At The Lumina 03, 2011
Mardi Gras season is fast approaching with the kick off of the annual GLBT Mardi Gras Festival (February 19th- March the sixth). Beyond the usual antics, my pick of the bunch is to get your self to the Iain Dawson Gallery on Oxford Street to see the group exhibition Hot in the City.
This exhibition puts together the work of some of Australia’s most exciting emerging artists; Alun Rhys Jones and Dan Gladden who will be joined by UK based photographer Angus Malcolm (of naked calendar fame). Dan Gladden’s works in particular is something to behold, tainted with a hint of fetish; his pre dominantly oil based works are strong and punchy, extremely masculine and sexually charged.
An art exhibition which centres on sexuality is a somewhat tricky issue. These types of exhibition tend to repeat themselves in their content; a white cube full of muscular torsos and artfully placed hand –over- crotch numbers. In contrast to an exhibition perhaps, which celebrates the work of a gay artist through a wider selection of works. It will be interesting to see what Iain Dawson Gallery has chosen to hang for this show.
However it is Sydney. Mardi Gras. Oxford Street.
So I am expecting a lot of exposed flesh...which is in no way a bad thing, especially when coming from the talented new blood of Australia’s creative’s.
Hot in the city runs from the 15th of February until the sixth of March
