Free booze. Yes, free booze. And it's all thanks to the generous folks at Austins Wines. But wait there's more... a free set of kitchen knives.

Friperie
Heave open the wrought iron doors of Friperie and the collection will cause bladder-tickling, cross-legged excitement. The Smith Street emporium is rustling with full skirted, off the shoulder, boned through the waist and shoulder padded cocktail dresses with lines projecting the bosom and hourglass silhouettes; these pieces must have been whipped off set of Gilda.

Laundry Mat #3
My Beautiful Laundrette? That's a bit optimistic. ‘My rundown student share-house with some washing machines' is a bit closer to the mark. Not as catchy, mind.
Anyway, you know you're in Fitzroy when retro televisions with aquariums inside start popping up. There was one lone goldfish drifting aimlessly in the murky water last Saturday.
