Five Dials
Issue 11 of Five Dials begins with a note on lists, and how useful they can be as effective slices of biography, hinting at what's going on in a person's life at the time of list writing.
If I showed you my current list you might dislocate your jaw from yawning so hard ("Remove apostrophe from 'you're'", "Change photo background to white") so I thought instead I'd write a list of the things that went through my head while reading Five Dials:

Description:
Staying on top of trends in fashion isn't so much a chore as a full-time job, which is tough because you need at least another full-time job to fund your desire to buy picnic blankets with sleeves and perfect leather bags. Luckily, the good people at New York based Refinery29 made it their full-time job, supplying us tasty fashion in daily bite-sized portions through their online publication.

Bug & Megs Felt
Bug & Megs are feltophiles. While the other kids were playing ponies, this crafty couple were tinkering with trinkets and fooling with finger puppets. But they soon grew tired of inferior acrylic "felt". They looked everywhere for an Australian supplier of real felt, but alas, none could be found.
WORTHIS bags
The bag. What if this age-old transportation device was individually hand-crafted to order, using hand-dyed and hand-woven organic fabrics? Then it becomes something more than just a bag. It is a musing upon an ancient time, when people transported precious stones and scripts, and not just their iPhones.
The Internetwork
It's true, producing a city guide has a lot of perks. Complimentary tickets, free CDs, drugs, R.S.I., drugs for R.S.I.. But undeniably the best perk of the job is the amazing people we get to meet. People who don't view the world in terms of ‘life' or ‘work' but simply continue to create because they love what they do.
Kleins Perfumery, new online store
Since 1993, Kleins Perfumery has been wafting out onto Brunswick Street, halting passersby in their tracks with the heady aroma of niche fragrances from perfume houses all around the world. With a Grenouille-like curiosity for these "fashionable artificial odours", inquisitive souls stumble in to a scent emporium adorned with vintage wallpapers and florentine chandeliers, under the watchful eye of Top Cat, the homosexually-inclined Kleins feline.
We Are Handsome swimwear
Not since I was a wee bairn have I had such a strong desire to wear my bathers all day, everyday. Back then I was enamoured with a lycra one-piece in a collision of colours, and now, oh look, it's a lycra one piece in a collision of colours.
My affection for these limited-edition togs comes from a more profound place than that though.
