~ It's taken some time, Siglo, but I'm so glad we finally met. I'd heard so much about your rooftop splendour -  atop of Melbourne's elegant Supper Club and The European with one impressive city view.Your Parisian styled seating got us comfy for the hours of giggles and goss ahead. Your graceful surrounds demanded only the finest wine - that selection of delicious nibbles carried us through those imported vino drops just fine!  Thank you for the fun, Siglo. Let's do it all again soon! ~

Friday's Frock/Punk Cancan

Carrying on with his 'gender bender' play on fashion, Gaultier sent his "Punk Cancan" themed parade down Paris' Couture Fashion Week catwalk. If mohawked beauties strutting their high camp, high punk styled threads wasn't enough, Gaultier topped his theatrically sensational parade off with the most fitting of finales. Dressed as blushing bride (slinky gloves and all) fashion's beautiful boy Andrej Pejic graced the catwalk pushing the concept of androgyny just a tad further. Does this remind you of something?

Pretty in pink

Bling, girlie charm and some handsome stripes for the big day - I found this spectacular combination here.

Accessory, tweed, rolled cuff, oh boy! No matter how many variations of the tailored jacket or rolled-cuff ankle-reveals I witness, I believe my admiration (and silent Hurrah) for the lad sporting his style may never fade.

As my job hunt continues and ability to write dwindles, I'm carrying on with these picture posts... Enjoy!

 I don't think there is much more I can add to the above. I simply like the messages they spell out and wanted to share them with you.

What I can ramble on about it this:
Job hunting = a time where creativity is zapped and every ounce of energy is invested into the relationship between yourself and laptop.

Until I get myself out of job-hunter mode, posts will be coming through a little slower - a couple a week so keep an eye out! Although there will be less of the wordy stuff, the pictures will still be pretty and the links just as wonderful.

I hope normality and I meet again soon. Until then, there will be some serious finger crossing going on from my end. I hope you enjoy the picture posts to come.
Any helpful tips on getting through this job-hunt phase are welcome :)

"People use the terminology 'He's a commercial photographer, he's a fine art photographer, he's a landscape photographer.' I think it's hard enough just to be a photographer. I think that in using the term 'photographer' one should be very careful about what that really means. I grew up in a tradition where being a photographer was a very noble pursuit. You pursued it for the love and the passion, and doing it was a very difficult thing to do. There are thousands and thousands of people who take photographs, but very few photographers, because one has to have an eye, one has to have the vision, one has to have something to say."

- Rodney Smith

As I power through these job-search hurdles my brain power and willingness to sit and write is fading. Job hunting really takes it out of you! With the hope that it will end in a big, bold success soon, I'm taking the pressure off tapping away at my key board and enjoying looking in the direction of every pretty picture around. Photographer Rodney Smith caught my eye with these images...
