I talk a million miles and hour, AMS speaks my language, a friend for ages, she is across everything, art, design, trends, basically on the pulse of all things that i find fabulous, oh and we both LOVE the beach. She wears many hats all with Sergio Rossi heels…
What best describes what you do?
Personally am on a quest to unearth original creative talent / objects / stuff. I get off on things I’ve never seen before.
Professionally I consult to creatives & design brands – project managing anything from biz development thru marketing related stuff like PR etc. My new projects are web based. Oh yeah & I’m writing for Inside OUT, HOUSES, DQ (design quarterly) & bunch of others……
Favourite Beach? – one with perfect surf, but either of the 3 I can see from my front door will suffice… am a known ‘beach-a-holic’
Favourite Book? – the dictionary
Favorite place for breakfast/dinner? – when not adjacent to my BBQ or friends’ dining tables it’s M deli (breakfast) & The Corner Store is a hot new dinner fave….
Favourite Movie? – being movie obsessed, impossible to nail it to one. last night re-watched “Picnic At Hanging Rock” by Peter Weir, 1975. Incredibly shot, exceptionally scored & hauntingly beautiful decades later. At school they actually took us for a picnic at hanging rock – we ran through calling “Miranda, Miranda….”. OK we were young. & no-one got lost!
Favourite Blog? – haha aside from yours or mine…..currently loving this the most incredible Dioramas…..inspiring..
What is the best thing about blogging?
Editorial freedom & being able to be self indulgent research like my car fetish.
What’s the worst thing?
Getting something wrong. Boy do they let you know..
Favourite Website?
another trick question. I check 100’s of sites every day. LOVING this found when researching car fetish & the 1972 AMC Javlin with interior designed by Pierre Cardin.
