There is nothing more regal or romantic than a wax sealed letter. Jane Austen tried countless times to come up with the literary equivalent, and despite coming close even she couldn't quite match it. They say wax seals are as old as writing itself, apparently they were used by the Pharaohs to keep correspondence top secret.

1. Cupcakes eaten by Parisians during bread shortage thanks to intervention of Marie-Antoinette
2. The Great Cupcake by Bhavesh Shah (addressing issues of crime and time travel)
3. ‘Camp Cupcake' (minimum-security women's prison in Alderston, West Virginia, where Martha Stewart served final five months of sentence for federal conviction).
Separately Together brings together (well, separately, but together) emerging artists from University of Melbourne and VCA whose work hijacks language and text for the visual arts. Throughout August they will be incubating their most personal thoughts in the exposed glass cabinets of Platform's subway space.
Now don’t call us pansies, but ThreeThousand occasionally enjoys a organic-gluten-and-sugar-free-apple-bran muffin.
The Organic Food and Wine Deli (TOFWD) is Degrave’s answer to the Vic Market’s organic section, but smaller. After seven years in operation last week the store took on a whole new face (and acronym), but thankfully its insides have remained the same.
