Read MoreI’m at the mall. An American term. Actually it’s Chadstone. Mecca for merchandise. One of the leading shopping centers in the world and an Australian commercial icon. Promoted as ‘the fashion capital’, it’s not hard to see why. Chadstone swells with a throng of people. Self-conscious about what they are wearing, how they look. A […]
Read MoreWhat is it about young men? They just can’t take their hands off it. They love the intense. The detailed. The more maybe plausible, the more wonderful.

Read MoreVanilla Products vs. Nouveau Rich. New, Vanilla Coke. I can see myself, lying in bed. So stoked I can’t sleep. Desperately waiting for dawn.
