Zanerobe [giveaway]
We’ve been longtime fans of Aussie streetwear label ZANEROBE. The guys have just released their Summer World Series collection — which they describe as ‘Evel Knievel meets Eddie the Eagle’. Whatever it’s called, it’s good timing with summer banging on the door. They had some gear floating around and have chucked our way a male and female summer clothing pack. To go into the draw, all you have to do is leave a comment under this post saying what you plan to do this summer (or winter for those in the north).
Double vote-count if you forward this post onto a mate or two. Winner announced 25 September under this post.

We’ve been long time fans of Aesop, which is making quite a name for itself in the alternative beauty products space. So it was no surprise to hear they’ve entered the fragrance market. True to form, their new range of perfumes are distinctive, unorthodox and intense. Read more
Feiyue shoes have arrived in Australia and I can’t wait to get a pair of these treads on my hoofs. They look like they could be the new Onitsuka Tigers, but with more edge and personality. The story goes that these shoes were big in China in the 1920s, before a brand revival in 2006 got them some traction in Europe. You can join the chat over at their Facebook page or check them out in person via their Australian stockists, Tuchuzy (Sydney), Nique (Melbourne) and Brave New World (Perth). Read more
There’s something magic about being in the same space as those performing at the very height of their field. The Australian Chamber Orchestra have just kicked off their Great Romantics national tour and it was a treat to see them live in Newcastle, Australia for their first show. I’m no chamber orchestra aficionado, but I know good music when I hear it. And the tones played by lead violinist Richard Tognetti are as sweet as you could hope to hear. Can’t hurt having a 1743 Guarneri del Gesù violin under the chin. A tour worth checking out.

Summer….wow….it’s still winter down here in Tassie, despite what the calendar says…snow on the mountain above the city today! So I plan to wait until January and then put a t-shirt on! 
Vega said | 4 September, 2007
I will be having winter in summer — travelling across the USA (complete with skiing!) and enjoying northern hemisphere weather in general. I’m looking forward to escaping sweltering summer heat… maybe I’ll change my tune after I’ve had a second winter this year. 
In other summer plans: a wedding to attend, job and digs to find, and a new year of new fun and challenges and life to begin living!
Rodger said | 4 September, 2007
This summer i am going to figure out exactly what i am going to do in life. I’ve been a graphic designer for the past 5 years, but i think there’s more to life. My new career may possibly be “full time surf bum” – this summer i will learn to surf, i can’t wait.

festivals, mmm………
Sim said | 4 September, 2007
Every summer I relocate my design studio’s office, which is based on my partner’s farm (halfway between Adelaide and Melbourne) to the sunny locale of Beachport, South Australia! Generally I try and make myself work until 3pm and then take my laptop upstairs between the hours of 3 and 4pm to work on the balcony in the sunshine and then knock off at 4pm with a few sauv blancs – all for good measure! Weekends are spent 30 metres away from the house on the beach with my dog Bully! Summer time for me is all about taking in the lifestyle and finding a good balance!
Gina said | 4 September, 2007
This summer I am going to start exercising and get tonned right up so i can strut around in those tiny green shorts!
Peter said | 4 September, 2007
This summer I will be embarking on a journey of self discovery in order to better understand myself, my purpose, and my place within the universe.
That’s what I intend to do. Realistically though, I’ll spend the whole 3 months maintaining my Facebook page.
Dale Hutton said | 5 September, 2007
oh my gash i will throw away all my clothing and chersih such threads dearly for the rest of my life…If i was to win them!!! ZANEROB is a dream come true to a thriftstore loving hospice raider such as myself…plus I live in South Africa where such clothing does not exist!!! This is surely my destiny!!!! So for this Summer im gonna get out of the academic vibe and go rural with some hard work on our family dairy farm and then off to Zimbabwe and Mozambique to work at a few orphanages and hopefully get some beach time in those awesome shotrts!!
julie said | 5 September, 2007
In South Dakota, we are just heading into fall. I’m loving the cool nights and the changing scent of the outdoors. I’m planing on doing some serious sledding this winter
Peg said | 5 September, 2007
I’ll be soaking up the sun, surfing, reading the paper and some good books and downing a few glasses vino with friends and family… and with any luck I’ll be doing all of htis and more in some cool zanerobe gear!
zain said | 5 September, 2007
since i’m from malaysia and it’s like summer all the time here, guess being lame and at work will be my answer.meh.
rain said | 6 September, 2007
meet cool peeps under the aussie sun.
Randy Gerls said | 6 September, 2007
I will be trying to make this baboon’s hand that I got surgically implanted after (another) ice infused blackout, look cool with some gnarly threads !
pacia said | 6 September, 2007
i’ll be either snowboarding or dancing in the rain depending on which coast i plan to spend my Winter up North. If i’m lucky, maybe i’ll get bits of snowboarding/skiing in there on a budget, if not, then i’ll be shovelling snow and sprinkling salt on driveways. Family, friends, food and wine…a definite state of relaxation. Gift-shopping? (unlikely) …
so you see..to keep me in good summery cheer….during dismal wintry days…this lil summer package would be a swell addition to life

ilona said | 6 September, 2007

chuck norris' better looking younger brother said | 6 September, 2007
I’m going to head back to australia, find me a pair of tight fitting short shorts and strut and the beach saying ‘crikey, i’m baking!’
KateB said | 6 September, 2007
I plan to do as I always do., surfing, and everything else that involves hanging out at the beach x
TEZ said | 6 September, 2007
I’ll be mowing that bloody lawn a hell of a lot more than i did during winter (and perspiring a hell of a lot more too). On the bright side of things though, the dog turds tend to dry out and turn that crumbly-powdery white much more rapidly during the summer months….. thus being much more easier on the old snoz when that victa blade goes to work!
naomi said | 6 September, 2007
summer’s all about wearing cotton dresses and hang out wit yo friends in the sunshine, having picnics and eating ice-cream, drinking milkshakes and having waterfights and chasing the boyz around the park and pinning them down to paint their nails fluoro pink.
yeah.
Roni said | 6 September, 2007
sit back under the aussie sun in a sydney park and drink mojitos. simple as that.
Everick said | 6 September, 2007
As it’ll be my 25th in the new year, i’m planning to get together an elite group of friends and family and hit the slopes somewhere in europe and dedicate myself to switching from skis to snowboarding having been introduced to it on the last day a couple of years ago! should be epic!
Anna said | 6 September, 2007
Heading into the fall here in Nova Scotia, Canada. I am getting ready for a long winter giving me plenty of time to work on a new series of paintings and work on my 1971 BSA restoration project! I am usually not so excited for the cold winter months…
cindy said | 6 September, 2007
sweet!
Puno said | 7 September, 2007
This summer I’m going to be visiting my step-dad’s fam fam in Hawaii with my real dad’s fam fam. One would think this could be somewhat of a predicament but not with these people. Oh no! It will undoubtedly be the funniest moment in the fam fam category of my life.
Anna-Marie O'Brien said | 7 September, 2007
this summer, i hope to walk to the end of my street with a surfboard…well, it hasn’t happened for the past summers i’ve lived here, but who knows? i may yet graduate from the shark biscut
Mary said | 7 September, 2007
This summer I’ll be soaking up the sun at Homebake and Big Day Out, checking out the art and music scenes in sydney and newcastle (Australia) and make submission to lost at e minor with my discoveries!!
P.S I fowarded this 3x
Bridey said | 7 September, 2007
I can’t wait for summer! I can come out of hibernation. I’m going to fix my poor surfboard and go surfing. My favourite spot here in Sydney is Nth Narrabeen. But I might also go and visit my Gran in New Zealand. She lives in a tiny town on the west coast of the North Island, its called “Waitara” which is Maori for River mouth. The town sits where the river that runs down from the nearby mountain meets the sea. Its a rugged and beautiful place, and because of the river mouth, it has an amzing permanant surf break. Scary though… only the tough local moari boys ride it, with helmets for the rocks underneath! Maybe I’ll give it a go though… I can’t wait for summer!!
Alex said | 8 September, 2007
i can’t actually tell you how excited i am for summer.
sunburn, frosty fruits and sand caked toes here we come
michelle said | 9 September, 2007
Busting for summer to kick in. Time to hang with good mates, make new ones at the festivals, soak up the Sydney vibe of late balmy nights on the balcony or falling out of nightclubs & spend as much time at the beach as possible. What a rockin’ country we live in!
Bring It On!
Filipe said | 9 September, 2007
Summer huh? Party, and get rid of my moonlight tan, which I think is starting to reflect sunlight into people’s eyes. Ooh, and go to Daft Punk. In fact my summer is defined by Daft Punk.
Anique said | 9 September, 2007
summer lovin, had me a blast, summer lovin, happened so fast…
Brad said | 9 September, 2007
The whole point of summer (or so I’ve heard) is to do away with the planning and just have fun! So I will be: relaxing, drinking excessively, going to as many gigs as possible, and following some roads less travelled.
Mike said | 10 September, 2007
this summer i will be mostly wearing yoghurt.
V said | 10 September, 2007
I am planning to lay around on the beach, looking pretty. And when I have time left over from doing that, I will be lurking around on children’s playground.
No no, I just changed my mind. I’ll be doing the usual thing, working, partying, camping and BBQing.
Caitlin said | 10 September, 2007
go on picnics, make sand sculptures and eat frozen peas.

Luca said | 14 September, 2007
being from Canada, i’m hoping for a snowy winter. (Last year it came way too late for the holidays) so, assuming that we get loads of snow, I will be skating and tobogganing up at my cottage 
Carla said | 16 September, 2007
I love the guys from Zanerobe. Jono – you are a star and love what you have done with the lable. I am planning to spend this summer having a winter. I have just moved to Hong Kong and plan to spend the time exploring the surrounding islands, eating the great food and partaking in the national passtime – shopping. As we are off to Vancouver for Christmas, I think we will have a few days tearing it up at Whistler.
Andrew said | 19 September, 2007
New levels in style from Zanerobe – goodbye St Lenny, Mooks and Von Zipper. Bring on those retro styled rainbow striped Op shorts. Summer means going BIG with wakeboarding, surfing and of course G&Ts

HAVE YOUR SAY
London illustrator Simon Brader’s work is innovative and full of topical innuendo. I love his colour choices in particular, the soft watery washes blending energetically with the more stubborn, edgy textures.
There’s a world-weariness about Two Gallants frontman Adam Stephens. It reveals itself in the Tom Waits-like raspiness that permeates his gin house drawl and in the talkin’ blues narratives that he weaves around his simple acoustic fingerpicking. They are the new superstars of the West Coast scene, majestic showmen in homespun rags.
Listen to the Two Gallants track, The hand that held you down.
Riffing on the idea that ‘eating was tending toward breathing’, Harvard professor David Edwards, in conjunction with design studio Le Laboratoire, has created Le Whif, the breathable chocolate. No chewing, no calories, and it comes in mint, rasberry, mango, and plain chocolate flavors. The product may just be a fancy scratch-and-sniff sticker, but it looks so sleek and design-y.
No, this is not a still from a Dr Who episode. It is, instead, the facade of the Wotruba Church, built between 1974 and 1976 and located in the beautiful Austrian suburb of Mauer, the 23rd district of Vienna. Now, if only all religious buildings were so damn adventurous. It would kinda make Christmas mass more enjoyable. Read more
If animated wall drawings of severed heads and insect men ejecting their brains from their craniums is what people produce when they have too much time on their hands, then we should do their laundry for them and cook them dinner so they’ll have even more time on their hands.
London fashion collective Noi Wear are knocking out some seriously cool garments at the moment, with each range based on a tantalizingly bohemian theme. Check out their online promotion for the Carnival of Fear line, mixing performance arts with straight up fashion. Very tempting to the eyes. Read more

Our celebrity-saturated culture makes many of us irrationally hateful of the faces we see on our TV screens and magazine pages. Good thing there’s Celebrity PunchOut to let off some of that steam.
Karen Caldicott’s clay head models
British born, New York-based model maker Karen Caldicott has been making clay heads for all major US publications over the last decade. Read more
Good thing Kris Kuksi channelled the trauma of growing up with an alcoholic stepfather, his disdain for ‘the typical American life and pop culture’, and his fascination with the macabre into obsessive, baroque assemblages, paintings, and drawings. Read more
