Yes folks, its that time of year again. The time when all of the Europop world battle it out to determine who will be the most extravagant, tacky, bizarro representative of Europe. The Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final. This year’s extravaganza will be hosted by Azerbaijan, a little known country with a song about dates. This is what happened last …
I just spent the weekend in Melbourne and managed to catch some excellent Next Wave shows while I was there.

I’ve been meaning to get my butt down there for a while so I was happy that I finally had a …
Check out Clairy Browne and the Bangin Rackette’s awesome doo-wop/soul music video, filmed in Geelong Prison. By all accounts they are a marvelous live act, and the Melbourne group are touring nationally in a couple of weeks! The lowdown on Sydney shows – they’re playing the Brass Monkey in Cronulla on Thursday 24 May and Good God the following night. …

Thought I’d share a nude I recently sketched up at the Sandringham sketch club, using borrowed pastels. Hope you like it. :)

Only one week to go until the phenomenal ‘Land of Timania‘ hits the Standard on Oxford Street, Sydney! This Tim Burton themed burlesque night is put on by the one and only Gallery Burlesque and is set to titillate the manic fans and intellectual admirers alike. I’ll be there performing a Burton-esque poem by Kira Carpenter, ‘Encounter With A Monster’. …
