I am a musician (singer, guitarist and various adhoc instruments) from Melbourne, Australia with a real passion for thrift stores and my tastes meander through from art deco throught to kitchy and mod pieces from the 50's/60s/70's. I love sewing vintage style dresses, creating jewellery and screenprinting tshirts. I love window shopping as much as I do the kind that requires a credit card. Similarly, I love to prepare food as much as I love to eat it-As long as it is vegetarian! I especially love cooking for a house full of friends.

Just too many to list, Music really is the soundtrack for everything in my life: Moloko, Lamb, Sia, Sigur Ros, Postal Service, George Clinton, Queen, Erykah Badu, Smashing Pumpkins, Black Keys, Groove Armada, Underworld, Tower of Power, Beatles and literally every sound in between.

Smoke, Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind, Blood Simple, Rocky Horror Show, Adaptation, Stand By Me, Evil Dead, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Being John Malkovich

Six Feet Under, Carnivale, The Mighty Boosh, Nathan Barley, Buffy, Angel

Sewing/Dressmaking, garment reconstruction, stencilling, printmaking, jewellery making.

I currently subscribe to Frankie and Yen in Australia. I love reading anything related to design, interiors, streetart. manga, fashion and music- but I prefer mags that are a little more independent, creative, edgy rather than mainstream.
