Fashion Video Wheels & Doll Baby Versus Ellen Von Unwerth = Pin-Up Perfection!

February 2, 2012 - 10:28 am

It’s a rare occasion that two of your favourites come together so wonderfully — & when it happens, it’s worth celebrating.

Wheels & Doll Baby was founded in Perth, Australia, in 1987. The label, with its quirky yet upscale retro vibe, quickly became a celebrity favourite, being seen on the backs (& fronts!) of the likes of Dita Von Teese, Christina Aguilera, Kylie Minogue & Elle Macpherson. It’s utterly unlike anything else in Australia — or, for that matter, the rest of the world. Wheels & Doll Baby do sex-kitten vintage like no other.

So it makes perfect sense, then, that the illustrious label teamed up with famed fashion photographer, Ellen Von Unwerth, on their latest campaign. Von Unwerth started as a model, working the other side of the lens for 10 years before making the switch. Her provocative photographs celebrate the power & mystery of femininity, as well as the potential of the perfect pout!

Cast your eyeballs over the video & pictures below if you don’t believe me! I absolutely love this collaboration: it makes me want to wear red lipstick every day for the rest of my life!

Video Foo Fighters Live #notatcoachella

April 15, 2011 - 2:35 pm

Foo Fighters

Although I sent a lucky team of contributors out to the desert on their own personal musical journey this weekend, I am #notatcoachella. So I’m promoting all the awesome that is happening not there. If you are on twitter, use the hash tag #notatcoachella and you can contribute to the millions of us finding fun elsewhere.

In the meantime, the Foo Fighters are also #notatcoachella this year. And their new album, Wasting Light, was just released like a wild boar into my consciousness. I think these boys are onto something!

Happy Weekend Everyone!

Video Bruno Mars: Just the Way You Are

January 13, 2011 - 2:46 pm

Despite the fact that popular radio has this song on once an hour, I like it. It’s a sweet little feel good ditty that sticks. And the video is equally precious with its unassuming young love in bloom. However, I find it incredibly hard to imagine that the generation listening to Bruno Mars gets the cassette tape reference. Where did they even find a cassette tape player…the Smithsonian?

Regardless, people of a certain age will be won over by this nod to times when your music spun round and round on little wheels of tape. Enjoy!

Video Do This, Not That: When Bad Can Be Good

June 2, 2010 - 4:14 pm

Leslie Hall

If you are on the internet all day “working”, you have already seen both of these videos. The first is by the always flamboyant, Leslie Hall. The former art student, turned bling sweater curator, turned rapping sensation. Leslie knows that tight pants aren’t her friend. She’s what you might call “self ironic”.  Like all great train wrecks you start to watch because you want to see the carnage. However, with Leslie you continue to watch because she’s not really half bad. The fact that she’s embracing her quirks and owning them outright….well its almost inspiring. You want in on the joke. You might even buy the t-shirt.
