New York has a lot to thank ‘Mean Red’ for… firstly, because they know how to throw great parties featuring amazing artists and secondly, because they’re inadvertently helping people find love in this big ol’ city (i.e. on the dance floor).
I’m lost in my cold coffee smoking a Marlboro Red, distracted by my happiness. This is a report about a girl living in Cape Town for summer and experiencing a new year. It’s about eating blueberry nerds and getting messy on school nights. It’s about laughter, inspiration and popcorn. Like life, it’s about everything and nothing. Perhaps it’s the endless summer that’s got Cape Town caught in a spell, but for once, I’m a part of it…  The ten_do_ten exhibition "Female nude and picture book craft paintching!"

By Jessica Hazel. The Women’s Institute (W.I) was first established in 1897 and now has over 205,000 members in the UK alone. The W.I carries a somewhat frumpy reputation and most people imagine a gaggle of old ladies, who meet each week in the village hall to discuss jam making techniques and various health complaints. This is indeed the case, except for a pocket of women from East London who go by the name of the Shoreditch Sisters, who have been tipped as the most glamourous W.I group in the country. I tagged along one Tuesday evening for the first meeting of 2010.
To us Aussie’s, Tishon is quite an unusual name. We’re more familiar with names like Ben, John, Wayne or Michael. Prior to meeting Tishon, who features in this here little interview, I had never met anyone with his name. And like the uniqueness his name suggests, the 26-year-old Brooklyn-based self-described “graphic designer art director, writer, and oatmeal lover”, who has already worked for clients including Ubiquity Records, Tortured Soul Records and artist Jeff Cylkowski amongst others, is pretty on-point and/or spesh. Tishon has got it going on (we also wonder how many times he’s had to endure that little rhyme… at least it’s complimentary). |
