Some photos from last night’s Big in Japan party at Carriageworks.

It was presented by Kirin and Ksubi and featured several Japanese performance artists.

All very odd, very fashionable, very Japanese.

Romance Was Born open a store

Romance Was Born's Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales with Jenny Kee and Linda Jackson

Here’s some snaps from the opening night party for fashion label Romance Was Born‘s first ever retail shop.

It’s a ‘concept store’ in Paddington called Pearl’s Dream and is open for a couple of months until January 31st.

It features many of the items they launched at their stunning show at Australian Fashion Week this year.

The store was officially opened by Jenny Kee and Linda Jackson. A fitting pair to christen the space as it harkens back to the Flamingo Park ‘frock salon’ they opened in Sydney in the 1970s. Romance Was Born’s work is in the same vein too; bold and colourful with an unabashed love for Australiana.

The shop is next door to Romance Was Born’s SOYA mentors Zimmerman in Paddington – at 2A Glenmore Rd.

Here’s what the press release states:

Romance Was Born: “Pearl’s Dream” Concept Store
“The intersection” 2A Glenmore Road, Paddington
26th November 2009 – 31st January 2010

“Pearls Dream” continues on from the “Doilies and Pearls, Oysters and Shells” SS0910 collection. It is a concept store which celebrates the collection and its collaborators.

“We feel so lucky to work with the people we do and Pearl’s Dream encaptulates our full Romance aesthetic. Its about creating our world for the outside world to experience”. Romance Was Born

“Doilies and Pearls, Oysters and Shells” features collaborative works by two Australian artists, Patrick Doherty and Indigenious shell worker Esme Timbery, and also jewellery by Romance Was Born’s accessories designer Paul Bonomelli.

Pearl’s Dream is Romance Was Born’s tribute to the stylish elegance of Grandmas and the olden days whilst exploring their fascination with the sea; that crystalline underwater world where mermaids are the keepers of its mysterious watery secrets. Romance Was Born open up nanna’s glory box worn by the tides of time to reveal long forgotten treasures – glorious old jewels, budgies in a cage, 4711, a fine bone china tea set with a mother-of-pearl glaze, delicately aged lace doilies and other assorted goodies from a bygone era.

Brüno premiere and Time Out Sydney after party

Here’s some photos from the Sydney premiere of Bruno at the State Theatre plus the after party hosted by Time Out Sydney at Zeta Bar in the Hilton.

Shooting these things is simultaneously exciting and mind numbingly dull. Photographers queue for hours beforehand, trying to nab a plum spot in the media pen. Then it’s waiting, waiting, waiting until the talent arrives. Then it’s pandemonium.

This instance was even more hectic as all the photographers and camera crews escaped from their pens to swarm around Bruno as he swanned around the street with his white horse and greeted fans.

After the premiere, Time Out hosted an after-party round the corner at The Hilton. Sasha Baron Cohen was in attendance but i wasn’t allowed anywhere near him. While he laps up the attention in character as Bruno, he’s very private as Sasha and shuns the spotlight.

A party for all

Daniel Boud — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:08:21 +0000

Here’s a few snaps from a party that was held amongst a few of the houses on our street on Saturday.

The street was blocked off because of the road closures caused by the pilgrims march for World Youth Day.

We thought it might be an opportune time to have a party on the street, but ‘the man’ shut us down and moved us into the back yard.

I wonder whether it had anything to do with people dressed in all manner of religious paraphernalia; devils, Hasidic Jews, nuns, Muslims and monks of all flavours.

Munted Punters

It’s been a while since i’ve done party photos, but i was doing some last week and it reminded me of the ugly phenomenon of the munted punter.

The common traits generally seem to be: male, silly hand gesture, often wearing a hat, teeth clenched, overly eager to be photographed.

Hot.

Levity Party at Oxford Art Factory

Daniel Boud — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 06:03:33 +0000

It’s been a bit quiet here in blogland. Work has been relentless and the internet was cut off at home after the greedy corporate bastards at Telstra delivered a $3000 bill. After i was so nice as to be their poster child for photoblogging. Fuckers.

But onwards. Here’s some photos from the Levity Records christmas party at Oxford Art Factory (where else?) last Friday. Levity’s two bands Mercy Arms and Cut Off Your Hands were due to play, but unfortunately Cut Off Your Hands had to cancel after lead singer Nick broke his ankle jumping from a speaker stack onstage in London. Bummer.

In their place The Scare played who, like Cut Off Your Hands, have an unpredictable and wild stage show, with lead singer Kiss spending much of the set in the crowd getting in scrapes. Andrew G loved it.

My social shots plus the odd band photo can be seen in the Levity party photo gallery.

Impromptu House Party

After shooting Live Earth Sydney i arrived home on Saturday to find my housemate had some friends over. It was fairly tame until the lycra outfits came out. It inspired all sorts of dress ups and downs.

Bandits party photos

I went to Bandits for the first time last week, on its one year anniversary.

Lost Valentinos played, people danced, drank, pashed and looked fashionable.

My photos are at NowNow or here at Boudist.

It’s been a while since i’ve posted any party photos, so here’s some that have been sitting on my computer from Halloween last year.

I’m rather overdue posting my photos from Rebel Rebel over a week ago when Louis XIV played with Red Riders.

There’s also now an official Rebel Rebel photo gallery which i set up. It contains photos from every week – not just my shots.

Can someone design-savvy do me a favour please? The current header image (the text that says PHOTO GALLERY) on that page looks rather crap – i couldn’t get the text to anti-alias properly. If someone has the font called Confidential and a copy of Photoshop and can make the font look more like the other headings on the Rebel Rebel site (ie not all jagged like) that would be most helpful. This photoshop file might help. Email me if you work it out.

I knew you guys would come through. Thank you to Olivia for offering to help if i could get her the font, Miriam for giving me the mac font, Tabatha for working out a clever way to do it online, and finally James for putting all the pieces together and giving me the improved .psd that i ended up using. Y’all are the best
