September 30, 2009

Australia, for many Americans, is an unknown and faraway land that in recent years has excelled in the exportation of Hollywood talent. Aside from the spate of truly gifted actors coming out of Oz, let it be known that Australia does two more things exceedingly well: wine and men. The wine is vast and varied; [...]

The Sort-of Expat

September 27, 2009

That’s what I am. Sort of here, sort of there. Half my wardrobe is here, half is there. I like it better here, but my heart (and man) are there. Is he coming here or am I going back there? Thing is, once you’re there, you’re never fully here. So when you’re here, you’re kinda [...]

Aren’t we glad I’m in the U.S. for Red Sydney Day?

September 22, 2009

So the word from Sydney is that it looked like a scene from the Apocalypse today. A freaky sand storm covered the entire city with dust and the sky was an impenetrable red haze for miles. It was so bad that planes were halted, ferries stopped running, and bible-thumpers crawled out of their bomb shelters [...]

There’s something about Mary…

September 21, 2009

Mary Katrantzou, that is. A homegirl, if you will. I just discovered this relatively new (and young) designer, and she is doing the motherland proud! I just looooooove her work… Read more about Mary Katranzou’s spring 2010 collection.
