HM had a mini xmas break in her hometownland and finally caught up with the super lovely VanCity Mayorette Sopho, it had been too long since we'd last seen each other. There were many nights out catching up with old crew, forming secret hate clubs and saying goodbye to G.O.B. (again).

Maybe packed too many pairs


Yes, haters. I got 'em




Sopho!


Big thanks to Silas on the left for making our camera do magic things

I missed Melbourne

Going away for Xmas is sometimes a good idea. Not so good if you're staying at a 'business hotel' where the only facilities they provide is photocopying and faxing. Internet too, but only if you have your laptop (check) and your own dial up account. Ever heard of WIRELESS?

So. apologies for not replying to anyone's emails and not updating the blog. Heaps heaps HEAPS coming in the new year.

Will update soon with holiday action...

Bon Voyage, Murphy.

We'll miss you heaps. Melbourne if you want to say goodbye, we'll be up at Workshop tonight.

Look out Europe!




Welcome him with open arms and open beers. Take good care of him.

Aloha Scrilla

With the holiday spirit in full force, we headed up the stairs to celebrate the coming break, the last Scrilla and MAFIA's birthday. Saw this outside and should have taken it as a warning:




It's hard to refuse when the Melbourne summer is in full swing




Happy Birthday, MAFIA. The cake was sensational!








Poise had beautified the toilets








Almost home time. Jazz, I owe you a pint.



I had a stupid amount of fun. Thanks to everyone that made for a great night.

And I know because of MAYORESS-1

A little something to add to the mix, Mayoress tees dropping in '08.



All your homegirls are biters! Y'all wak, so what's up with that PUNK?

Sneaky peek

Sorry, we're not sharing our new colours with you just yet, but here's a sneaky at something from the new collection. HM drew inspiration from groupies. Not the kind you're thinking of, but the supergroupies of the past. The GTO's, Apple Scruffs, The Flying Garter Girls, Cynthia Plaster Caster...the list goes on.

This one's for our favourite - Bebe Buell, melting hearts the world over (The pendant measures 7cm across):

Play your cards right

New HM stuff is slowly creeping in. Every piece from the Old Vegas collection includes a playing card (used in actual play at Vegas casino's). Check out the Circus Circus card:



Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was based on this casino (though they changed the name to Bazooko Circus for legal reasons). Yes, the revolving bar is still there.

"Quick, like a bunny...hop!"

Chessa - GET IT!

Chester P's new stuff is brilliant!



Go to Chester space to buy it. Get the wax, it's class.

Fabulous!

A big thank you goes out to Chris Mason Stearns and Shea Pollard who took some killer pics for HM in Vancouver. We'll share these with you at a later date. In the meantime, check out their stuff.

Kisses

The Sophette is back from Vancouver for a short visit. Welcome back, baby!
