Being halfway through the 1872 aquatic sci-fi epic Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, this Hello Sailor function looked to be right up my alley. I was hoping they'd supply all manner of futuristic naval paraphernalia, such as breathable fabrics made entirely from sea-going mammals, and seaweed cigars rivalling the finest Cubans.

As J. Crombie has reported, in a recent poll, nine out of ten men surveyed said they'd much prefer to dip their nuts in napalm than accompany their girlfriends to a vintage fair. But guess what? Melbourne guys love it! This incarnation of Hello Sailor is at the Grace Darling all weekend, and Rochelle says there'll be mens shirts and jackets, with labels including Dior, Balenciaga, Ann Demeulemeester, Comme Des Garçon, Marc Jacobs, Giorgio Armani - as well as some awesome 90s Basketball & Hiphop stuff (Coogi, Boy London, NBA Starter memorabilia).

BRUCE Buy Sell Trade
Today, my dear mother took me to an op shop. Not any op shop, but the greatest op shop in the world. At the beginning I was hesitant, to say the least. I hadn't the energy to scrounge around some damp-smelling hovel desperately searching for a non-moth-bitten jumper or a non-cigarette-burnt skirt.
As we pulled up to the quaint shopping strip of Queens Parade, a clean, neat window display welcomed me.

Perky perky sales shop staff really do suck the big one. I could do without the ones that turn their noses up at me, but even worse are the ones that get all up in ya grill with their prying questions: Where'd you get your shoes from? What you up to this weekend? Have you got the day off today? Where do you work? What size are you? Want to try it on? Ahh leave me alone.
