Celeb Style Muse | Stevie Nicks

She rocks my world each time I hear her voice... Such a great band, such a great era, such a great style! Need I say more?

Cecilia

When I found the above clip, I almost slid off my office chair :-) haha it raised some eyebrows with my co workers believe me! This would be one of my fav Simon & Garfunkel songs being covered by a gaggle of gorgeous men who are incredibly gifted with more than musical talents! By the looks this is earlier in their career... Love the use of the tree and the esky in the percussion section too!

It's now official... I am completely obsessed with Local Natives... and I mean COMPLETELY OBSESSED! Not only have I fallen deeply in love with their music, I have to admit I have developed a major crush on Taylor Rice!

How could you not adore this young man??? I mean really... the mo, that mouth and the sound that pours forth from it... and how cute is he without the mo in the clip at the top!!!!????

God help this man if I EVER get within about 500m of him!

Song of the Day | Local Natives

Welcome to my new regular feature Song of the Day!


Click the player belowto listen to today's Song of the Day!

I love this song so much... the harmonies make my heart feel lovesick and the sense of yearning is almost too much to bear (especially with all that keening at the start of the song), but none the less I crave the sensation and listen over and over and over again! If I actually let myself be swept away by the music, it brings tears to my eyes every time... such a journey, such an EPIC journey! These guys are pure GENIUS!!!!

On love.....

Crop Art

These very crafty buggers have turned agriculture into art! yay for them!
Using different colours of rice plants these rice paddy's grow into amazing and intricate works of art! Crop Art is taking off in Japan and I love how the image slowly forms as the rice grows under the surface of the water, then busts out and solidifies into a really cool piece of art!!!
very cool....

Underwater love

Trent Mitchell is a local GC boy who is blessed with an amazing ability to capture moments from a perspective that thrills the heck out of my retina's!
His love is waves, clearly a surfer who digs the shit outta mother natures wonderous and gigantic bath!
The colour and saturation of his images are soooo incredible! I love the work he does with film, the digi shots are awesome as well but I would seriously give my left tit for his talents with film!
Plus not to mention he has some great taste, one of the quotes on his website is from one of my fav books, Johnathon Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach... "perfect speed....is being there!"
His gift with a camera, film or digi, is not to be missed check it out kids...

Sooooooo cute!!!
This guy is an absolute genius... he built this home for his family in England... true hobbit style!
If it were mine, I'd have a shitload of fairy lights and hanging plants and wind chimes and pretty stuff!!! I think I would never leave home and always be pottering around the house!!!

Hidden Talents

Emilie is an English Teacher... I think she should be a full time artist!

check her huge Flikr stream here you will not be disappointed I promise!
her love for polaroid was rediscovered only a few years ago... for most of us polaroids are entwined with memories from our childhood, like Emilie, however she became drawn to explore the wonders of instant film again. Thank god she did or we may never have seen images like the ones below!!!






It was though Emilie's stream that I stumbled across the emulsion lift technique...
this completely intrigues and excites me to the point that I want to reshuffle some budget priorities and buy me a polaroid cam just to try this...

The above emulsion lifts are by Abbey Wuthrich and Graham Tait respectively...
oooo its just makes me wanna get my hands on som 669 film a cam and start making things!!!
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
