More Tobias, Just Because

"I'm afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run if you
will, so I'm afraid I have something of a mess on my hands. "

"Michael if I may take off my pants and pull my analrapist stocking over my
head, I think George Michael may be suffering from what we in the soft-sciences
call "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder", or the "The O.C. Disorder". "

"Gob, I would like to be in your trick and there's someone I'd like to put in a plug for. Or... should I say 4,000 plugs?"

'Time for me to take off my receptionist skirt and put on my Barbara Streisand in the Prince Of Tides ass-masking therapist pantsuit"

"I will be a bigger and hairier mole than the one on your inner left thigh!"

"Or it could be your colon. I’d want to get in there and find some answers."

"Even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up"

"Okay, who’d like a banger in the mouth? Oh, right. I forgot. Here in the States, you call it a sausage in the mouth."

"I will pack your mouth with your sweet, pink mouth with so much ice cream, you'll be the envy of every Jerry and Jane on the block"

Perfumes I would let you buy me

Marc Jacobs - Lola
A true eyesore of a bottle, guarenteed to keep the attention of tripping teenage junkies as above. Musky, light, floral.

Viktor & Rolf - Flowerbomb
I've had my nose on this one for a while now, gorgeous bottle, gorgeous smell. Light, feminine.

Dior - Addict

My flatmate wears this and it makes me want to eat her every morning. Nuff said

Classic crotch

No, not Kanye

Art. Modern art. Yes I know the term evokes thoughts of paper mache shapes dumped in a pile and fingerpainting you could have done better yourself, but modern art is fast on the improve, and a little installation called 'Shoot the Player' is proving, just that.

Shoot the Player is exactly what is sounds like. Masterminds of the project Amelia Tovey and Jonathan Ward set about filming spontaneous, unplugged music videos around Sydney, putting great musicians in iconic locations where you’d never expect them to be.
Each single-shot film is a unique, never-to-be-repeated musical and visual experience. You'll see Bob Evans at Bourke St Bakery, Amanda Palmer in her pyjamas, Kaki King at the War Memorial, Sarah Blasko in a tattoo parlour, and lots more.

Shoot The Player installation is presented by CarriageWorks and will run from the 8th until the 30th of January. For more information check out www.shoottheplayer.com. And did I mention it is FREE? Well it is. Wow!
