Favela Rock 18 (Melbourne)

Birthday celebrations all 'round for Favela Rock 18. I had a stupidly late night thanks to daylight saving kicking in. Just one question - who were all those people? Still, it was a good night.

There was a cameo appearance from the first Mayoress tee. Still a while before you can get your hands on one, but they're coming... these cats will keep you posted. Bitches, get ready.

What's News?

The Hayley Mei collaboration details will be released next week!

The summer collection is almost done, as well as a nice surprise from the Mayoress crew. Anyone heading to Favela Rock in Melbourne this weekend could get a sneak preview.

The Vancouver launch of Hayley Mei is set for late November. Stay tuned Canada.

Don't forget:

Frankie does HM



Frankie has just made my day.

The current issue not only contains Hayley Mei but if you buy a copy in Melbourne, you get a glorius cupcake too.

Stop, collaborate and listen. Ice is Back...

Who's responsible for THIS?



My favourite Vanilla Ice moment (apart from Suge hanging him over a balcony): Vanilla Vs Todd Bridges. See what Willis was talking about.

Claw $ Vandals

I've always had a fascination with peacock feathers. They are even better with little claws on them and in the form of a Nike Vandal.



Buy from clawmoney.com when they drop.

We Came To Party



We were MTV-lebrities on Friday night (thank you, Sanch!). After a tough week, the lure of drinks at a ritzy venue was inviting, more so than the promise of Bam, Tosh, and previews of the new shows that I will never get to see. There were lots of glam dresses and super hair do's, a hilarious VIP section and girls in 'I love Bam' tees serving prawn cocktails.

I could complain about the glams, which is opposed to my kind of classy - a crew dressed in fresh tees who can relax and have a good time without fixing their hair and looking sideways to see who's watching, each to their own, but, "Fuck you" to the 'ladies' who had their bitch-face on because I wasn't wearing a dress, at least I can still walk in my shoes after a couple of drinks.

Thank you MTV, for the quality drinks and having MAFIA rock the party. Pity it had to end at 9pm, I was just getting started.

Jump to Red Hot for pics.

Jehst - Melbourne

Jehst finally made it to Melbourne. Is it just me, or is 1.40am a pretty late set time? The show started on Friday and Jehst didn't hit the stage until Saturday. Note to promoters: Probably no need for a million support acts.

My camera is still broken (there will be no fixing it, fingers crossed we'll have a new one by Favela Rock), pics were taken while we were waiting for the show to start. Soph got a killer pic at the end of the night too. Check Red Hot.

No pics of the show, sorry. Sanch and I were busy up the back looking tough.

Considering the wait, Mayorettes were well behaved

Where's the cheese?

Best food at the moment - Cheese balls.



Pretend they are good for you.

Summer 07/08

Besides working, dreaming about holidays in Feb and planning my shopping route, deciding to be rock and get Maiden tickets, going to magazine launches, having meetings, going to BBQ's, getting the back yard in order, trying to get the online store sorted, wondering how I'm going to get my hands on the best Bjork tickets, hanging with Hamax, sleeping etc... The Summer 07/08 collection IS under way. Can't wait to show you.

We Are Giant's (photo subjects)

Thanks to Miss Brooke who pointed out that a certain Hayley Mei, Mexi and Krakha have thier pics up on Mike Giant's blog via Fecal Face.

Pick us out here.

Ususally I wouldn't hesitate to steal the pics and post them here, but I would feel a bit funny stealing from Giant. You should read the blog anyway, it's a good read. There's lots of fixed gear porn, if that's what you're into.

Oops

So we had some probs with the Press Release on the website, but it's all fixed now. Check it.

We've also managed to get our hands on to some sweet new colours for the summer range. Nice.

Yeeeahhhh.

What does this man do in concert?



For the bargain price of $75.70, you can find out and see Lil Jon live at Billboards. Classy. What? Yeah...ok.

Nice crown.

I Miss You



You said you didn't like Australia and would never come back. I'm thankful that you lied, or forgot.

Yesterday afternoon I received an email from Mike which put my 'hold on to cash to see Bjork in another country' fund into dissaray. Ms Gudmunsdottir (aka Mrs Matthew Barney) will be coming to Australia. If you know me, then you'll know that this is my equivalent to travelling first class to NY to see Wu-Tang (yes, 'Ol Dirty would be there).

The bad news - she's playing the Big Day Out...I'm not a fan of festivals.

The good news - She's booked a 5000 ticket gig on January 23 to be held at the Opera House forecourt. Now I'll have to warn everyone to get the fuck out of my way when it comes to tickets, I will be a very unhappy Miss if I don't get one.

NYE

I was starting to get annoyed with people asking what I was doing for new years. Then I saw this and now I have an answer



Now we can bring it in with style. Keep up with Opulent for details.
