Everybody loves the jungle! Except for Vietnam veterans maybe, and those whom The Phantom imprisoned in his Skull Cave in the deep woods of Bengali, and this Panda - ever since the incident.
Well, let's just say that - at the very least - the ladies of Glitzern love the jungle, which is why they've commissioned a jungle-themed exhibition for fashion week.
Japanese dude: Oh hello, can I please have a DVD of locally produced soft porn?
Japanese porn purveyor: There it is man. Over there next to Astro Boy.
Dude: No. It's not.
Japanese porn purveyor: Yeh. It is.
Dude: But there's no pubic hair on the cover! I'm looking for genitals here.
Japanese porn purveyor: You have to imagine the genitals.
The mid-fifties were great for drive-in cinemas, beat poets and swing dancing. But the victims of the Cold War and Soviet Union vs America space-race weren’t so lucky to revel in the PEZ-fuelled, post-World War frivolity of the fifties. Soviet Union scientists were hooked on the idea that living organisms could survive in space.
If you walk down Bourke St Mall at this time of year, you could be forgiven for thinking that Christmas is ultimately a time for shopping. For buying a whole lot of stuff that no one really wants, and that they will return on December 26. Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded that Christmas is also a time for friends, for catching up with the people who have supported you during the year and giving them something they really appreciate – like a drink.
Ignoring by the slightly fruity ! in the title, we are dragging our pathetic, cynical feet to Craft Victoria this week for a breath of fresh, enthusiastic air. This annual exhibition of work by Victoria's most innovative graduating students of craft and design is a big deal.
This is the stuff you'll be wanting to buy in order to impress people next Christmas, so treat FRESH.
For god's sake, Mrs. Robinson. Here we are. You got me into your house. You give me a drink. You... put on music. Now you start opening up your personal life to me and tell me your husband won't be home for hours.
With all the graduate shows on around town at the moment, who could blame us for being, you know, like, in the mood.
Let me ask you:
If a rabbit was to shop for something what would it buy? Carrots. If a monkey was to shop for something what would it buy? Bananas. If a fox was to shop for something what would it buy? Rabbits.
My point is that animals have a desire to purchase items of need and want as much as humans.
