Wheels & Dollbaby

I attended the Wheels & Dollbaby show during Perth Fashion Festival 2010, excited to see the latest collection from local designer Melanie Greensmith. The Wheels & Dollbaby fashion parade is one of the most popular events on the Perth Fashion Festival calendar and is always an instant sell-out. I wasn’t on media, so I decided to leave the 7D at home and take the G10 instead, but my inner photographer couldn’t resist taking a few quick shots while enjoying the sexy show.

The section I was seated in was close to the band, we were given earplugs for protection, which gave the area a music-pit feeling. “Free earplugs?! That’s the strangest thing I’ve seen in the goodie bag so far!” remarked one confused lady seated a row behind me.

Highlights include the gorgeous Tiah Delaney opening and closing the show in leopard print ensembles, the models wearing cute pink robes that everyone instantly wanted to sell a kidney for, girly gingham dresses, dastardly denim, hot leather shorts and the guest appearance of Leah Wood, the daughter of Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie, performing ‘Call Me’ with Mark McEntee. It was a perfect mix of fashion and rock and roll.

I’ll have one of everything, please.

Popsicle Launch

I was invited to the Popsicle launch party on a very cold night at PICA during the Perth Fashion Festival 2010, I took some social shots of the fashionable crowd and designers while sipping on champagne and meeting photographers and bloggers.

Last year Popsicle popped up on a bus, this year it could be found OnWilliam in a duo of shipping containers packed with emerging fashion, jewellery, art & other goodies. The event featured work of various Western Australian designers – such as Lonely 8-Bit Heroes, Bad Hair Mountain, Peppermint Milk, Little Gracie, Kiss Me Quick, Prufrock, Leah Tarlo, Bo Ra, White Square, Lovers and Dreamers, Heart City Design, Ping Pong Diplomacy and Love is my Velocity – it reminded me of a very funky looking pastel tea party.

I wonder how Popsicle will pop-up next year? I vote for bouncy castle.

Perth Fashion Festival 2010

Perth Fashion Festival

It’s that time of year in Perth when everyone on the train looks a bit more stylish than the usual commuters, Perth Fashion Festival 2010 is upon us, causing everyone in the fashion industry to run around like well dressed headless chickens. I was approved as media for a handful of Perth Fashion Festival events and shows, which should give me an opportunity to shoot creations by our talented Western Australian designers and socials of the stylish folk who frequent the shows and events.

The festival begins tomorrow, Thursday September 9th, and runs until Wednesday September 15th, the program includes both free and ticketed events to suit any fashionistas budget. The events and shows I’m looking forward to are…

Fifteen Minutes

Models will glide down the runway in street fashion inspired looks, styled by Emma Bergmeier and featuring garments from Billie & Rose, Zara Bryson, Merge, Planet and Pigeonhole. Cameras, phones, laptops, anything beginning with ‘iP’ that bares an Apple symbol, more cameras and any tech device possible of accessing the internet are allowed at this interesting runway event. I’m yet to confirm or deny wifi status for the show.

Wheels & Dollbaby

It’s no secret that I adore Wheels & Dollbaby. I’m looking forward to this years show more than Christmas, because Melanie won’t make you clean up after you unwrap her creations with your eyes, she’ll just ask you to move on to the after party and have a good time. I’ve already hidden my credit card, I’ll literally want everything that walks down the runway that night.

Supanova Perth 2010

I attended the 2010 Supanova Pop Culture Expo in Perth and had a chance to meet the stars and take some photos while doing media for the day.

Stars in attendance were Summer Glau, Chaske Spencer, Dichen Lachman, Charisma Carpenter, Leah Gibson, Mark Lutz, Daniel Logan (who said “I’ll just call you beautiful”), Lou Ferrigno, Michael Winslow and Justin Randall. The only star I didn’t have a chance to meet was the gorgeous Eliza Dushku, I was late for her Q&A and she was busy doing VIP photos with fans for the rest of the day.

Playing With Balls

Last Sunday the PTUB (Perth Twitter Underground Brigade) crew headed to the North Fremantle Centre for BowlingTUB, where we enjoyed a relaxing afternoon of barefoot bowls, live music, BBQ and beer. It was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Thanks goes out to John Cooke, for organizing the event and cooking up the BBQ in the sweltering heat, and to all the PTUBians who attended.
