There are two things sailors really like: looking jaunty and drinking. Oh no wait - there are three things sailors really like. And at least two of them can be indulged in this Sunday at the Carlton. The bar is being transformed into a market, with 15 stalls in the dining room, the front balcony and the back courtyard selling vintage designer duds new and old, glamorous jewellery, jaunty jewellery, shoes and sundry trinkets.

We won't do this justice in an OUT listing, but we can assure you the launch will be full of well-dressed men. It's an exhibition and temporary shop/studio space for designers and artists who care about prodding males to dress better. Curator Geoff Nees has assembled a butt kicking list of participants including Julia De Ville, Sruli Recht, James Cameron, Material By Product, Kano, Leith McGregor, Richard Nylon and Howard Arkley.
Event: Launch
Stimulus: Free booze & Food
In On the Beach, Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner fall tragically in love as they wait for the nuclear fallout that has already wiped out the Northern hemisphere to blow its way down here. Nearly fifty years later that same melancholy vibe of atmospheric doom pervades World's End, an exhibition of thirteen Melbourne and UK artists who aren't here for a good time, or even for a long time - they're here for the End Times.
We all know that 'warehouse sale' is more often than not code for 'ill-fitting, random, last-season consignment stock', and that it could end in tears as you fist-fight over clothes you neither want nor need. You also have to be prepared to bare all in communal change rooms (tip - wear leggings...) and see the physical embodiment of your over-spending as you hand over notes at a cash-only register.
