Sexy Beach, Sydney

I was lying at a five star hotel's pool somewhere in Sydney, wearing my tan-through electric blue speedo listening to an iPod nano while sipping apple martinis with Darance at my side. I was pumping out a great genius playlist that had begun with Annie Lennox, Little Bird. Wearing my darkest sunglasses, I was scanning the pool area with my Canon waiting under a bright beach towel. As if the genius playlist wasn't genius enough it was playing just the right song as SHE walked in wearing a wet t-shirt, harboring some sugar cubes. She was wet, hot and dripping all over and all I could think was exactly what Akon was saying:

The way, that booty movin' - I can't take no more
Have to stop what I'm doin', so I can pull up close
I'm tryinna find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful

Damn Girl!!!

Damn, you's sexy beach, a sexy beach!
Damn, you's sexy beach!

Damn Girl!!!

Damn, you's sexy beach, a sexy beach!
Damn, you's sexy beach!

Damn Girl!!!

So I flipped the Canon from beneath my towel, extended my zoom and started shooting.

Happy New Year!

The Fake Sartorialist is now back from his ventures overseas.
Stay tuned for regular updates from now on. Got lots of inspiration during my travels, so get ready for the images that will ensue from my titillated imagination.

Seasons Greetings! Rudolfia, Santa's Helper

Rudolfia used to be one of Santa's little helpers but gave it all up to become the regional Starbucks director for New York. It isn't often that the traces of her former life become visible, but this winters day she just couldn't help cutting some holly leaves and sticking them in her hair just like the good old times.

Wrapping… Fleur Du Male

I'm running off to Paris and New York for the next three weeks, so posts will be reduced over the festive period.

As a special treat and to act as inspiration for your own wrapping exploits, I'll be posting some custom wrapping projects that I've created, to get you into that holiday-gift-giving mood.
Make sure to go back into our archives if your are new to the blog, theres a lot more where this came from.

Fake Sartorialist Card

I created this credit-card sized card for my travels (I'll be off to Paris and New York tomorrow). I've planned some posts for my time away, they will be popping up every few days.

Bill Cunningham, Paris

Mr Cunningham, soon after retiring from his radio talk show he began taking courses at the infamous clown school: Ecole Jaques Le Coq. He took to clowning-about like a duck to holy water.
He now travels the fashion scene as 'the entertainment' after the runway show, but as far as I'm concerned he is better than the show. After this years Victor & Rolf show in Paris, he did a 15 minute mime piece that had Donatella weeping half the time and laughing for the other half, other emotions might have been involved but it was difficult to tell.
Bill isn't even close to throwing in the towel and retiring into a life in luxury with a lithe playboy bunny. He is being billed as the main attraction of the new Cirque de Soleil event: OLDNESS. The show taps into a large market of retired clowns and performance artists and is projected to do well in the economic downturn, with retired clowns asking only half the price of their young counterparts.

When I think I have accomplished something with this blog I just think about Bill and how much he has done through his life. It is then that I realise that I have 50 or so years still to go and I'm terrified of the thought of blogger not existing in the future. Hold me Bill… hold me...

What it Feels Like for a Girl, Paris

Beauty Hell

[Click to see full quality]

My PechaKucha talk went well yesterday. It was a mythical fairy tale that took me into the depths of Beauty Hell (working on the topic; What is Beauty to You). I've recorded the presentation and will be posting it up on here in the future.
*Normal posts will resume for the next week, after which I will be off to New York for a 2.5 weeks. During that time I have some scheduled posts to keep you going through the holidays.*

World Aids Day

I just couldn't go through World Aids Day without making a tribute post for it. It's important to remember the impact of AIDS on the world, especially in the developing world.
