la vie en rose

This week I've been thinking about:



Rose tinted glasses at Cacharel (by Sonny) - Katharine Ross - The Graduate - sixties eyeliner - d.i.y pink highlights - Anna Karina and the films of Jean-Luc Goddard - the works of Lucy Meyle - a sea of spring roses - the perfection of A Single Man - sixties interiors - Hanneli and her dusty-rose coloured Equipmentshirt - The apartment of Inès de la Fressange by The Selby -R

It's turban Time!

First Scott Schuman, now Time Magazine. The world just can't get enough of the KJ turban!

Gotta love a man with a good sense of tumour

And you thought this bulgy headwear was just a benign trend ey!?

This very sartorial NYC constructionista and his protuberant headwear was today featured by The Man Scott Schuman.

You heard it hear first, this trend is going viral.


(For those living on mars with their fingers in their ears whilst singing loudly, he's the fame behind The Sartorialist. Which is a website on this thing called a computer. Idiot)

Behold the Turban: a lesson of practicality

Every Sydneysider who's with it knows that Kirrily Johnston is Australia's answer to mecca for every self-respecting Man Offender.

It's just something about those long capes, chunky tribal jewellery the size of a small animal and most recently...

Behold: the turban that shits on all the others (all except for this one).



She don't need no man to keep her warm at night

She has succsesfully identified a gap in the market - as no doubt each and every one of us has a deep-seated hankering for headwear that closely resembles a tumour.


This is perfect for my work Christmas party!

I'll be jumping hurdles to wear a turban so large this weekend. It would at least serve the purpose of:
1. Storing my goodies
2. Repelling

I wonder if this is what KJ had in mind? If so, how thoughtful of her, creating something both aesthetically pleasing and PRACTICAL!

I bet girlfriend here is storing all manner of objects up in there.

I speculate turban wearing comes in handy for one (or more) of these reasons:

1: A gigantic head has the added benefit of minimising a body to teensy tiny proportions.
2: By rebelling against social norms she is critiquing the social landscape and oppressive nature in which we live.. (or something...)
3: A small but mighty army of elves have taken up residence within.
4: She's concealing a massive stash of cocaine baby
5: She has an aversion to sex, which she hopes to convey by wearing garments likely to offend men.
6: She's got a South Dowling Sandwich in there. She's either saving it for later or hiding it from her jealous coworkers in the guise of avant-garde tendencies.

Whatever the reason, this is something we want in on!

Out of simple curiosity, we decided to take a leaf out of KJ's fashion pages.



Only inside the confines of home, we promised ourselves.

I'm avant garde chic

KJ would be so proud

But hey, we thought. Since we've gone to all this effort, why not get a bang for our buck and take it to the streets.

We just couldn't resist..

There we were, turban-clad, roaming the streets of Chippendale and making a trip to our local bottle 'O.


We couldn't help but draw stares from passersby and shop owners. Despite this we discovered wearing turbans is addictive... so stay tuned...

In other news:
Will you be my turban wearing man friend?



Are you questioning my taste in men?

You wouldn't be the first...
