Miss Pole Dance Australia 2010
Back in October i took some pictures at Miss Pole Dance Australia 2010 at the Enmore Theatre.
I spent most of my time backstage.
While i’m at it, here’s some photos from last year’s competition.
Here’s some video of this year’s competition.
Romance Was Born : RAFW 2009
The last of my fashion week posts is from the spectacular Romance Was Born show at The Wharf Restaurant on Sydney Harbour. As with previous shows from the designers it was extravagant, theatrical, kitsch and featured my old neighbour Pauly.

Miss Pole Dance 2008
A few weeks ago i had the pleasure of spending some time backstage at Miss Pole Dance Australia 2008.
Evidently pole dancing isn’t the sleazy underground pursuit it once was, with this event held at the 2000 capacity Enmore Theatre with most of the audience made up of women.

Expatriate at The Gaelic Theatre

Similarly to the other week when Dappled Cities Fly and Red Riders played the Metro, this was another case of a Sydney band playing a triumphant sold out show in their hometown.
It feels like Expatriate have broken through the trendy [...]
