Melanie @ Zen


What to wear? So many clothes!


Zen hoodies, back in stock this year.


My fave shot of the day, lovely.

I love work :) Yesterday we shot a video with Melanie at Zen. She’s real fun to work with! I rattled off a few behind the scenes shots. Click here for more.

Fast & Furious 6


Our display at the official opening night at Reading Cinemas Auburn.


Dem Evos.

I’ve seen FF6 2 times this week. Nuts right? On Monday we had a pre-screening at Hoyts Entertainment Quarter. Narada from Circuit Club once again managed to score a private theatre and we managed to raise $3510 for the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation, and last Thursday night we were invited to set up a display outside of Reading Cinemas in Auburn to celebrate the official opening night. I had the Acquired Taste guys set up their rides and Revhead, a guy I met during the Raise the Sun fundraising party last weekend displayed his bike too.

On the movie: I wanted it to be so bad that it’s good, but in reality they’ve actually made a good action film. I wasn’t sure whether or not I was going to watch it the 2nd time around, but I’m glad I did as I found it way better the 2nd time around than the first. Haha.

PS: Alain’s lengthy review and more pics from the charity screening here and more pics from our set-up at Auburn here.

Raise the Sun Fundraising Party @ Zen Garage


Quality Coffee.


That home-brew vibe.


Hearty food!


50+ bikes descend on Zen Garage.


Popo showed up.


Hey Lassie!


YOLO!


The crowd inside.

To help get Rising Sun Workshop off the ground we hosted a fundraising event at Zen Garage. The event brought the Sydney 2 wheeled community together for a ride, followed by quality Single Origin coffee, hearty food, beers, live bands, a raffle, a live Auction and even a burlesque show!

Loved having these guys over at the garage. Such a different crowd to what we’re used to, but that familiar great vibe. I took a few more photos on Zen.

Caryn & Greg’s Wedding Byron Bay


Obligatory plane shot. I slept all the way as usual (teleporting is my specialty!).


Top Shop has changed! SO trendy now, amazing food and coffee!


Healthy hearty Byron Bay goodness. Made with so much love.


Caryn let Liz, Pete, Nancy and I rent her parent’s Solaris apartment. I’ve stayed in this very apartment when it was first built many years ago and fell in love with this silk painting of a lion fish. Loved seeing it again, and staying there again, such a sweet spot right on the main beach.


The plunge pool outside. Solaris has aged so well.


Dinner at Tree House the night before the wedding gave us all a chance to catch up with faces we hadn’t seen in over 10 years. Was a great night, live music, great food and amazing company (they make a really nice beer in-house too!).


Glorious Byron Bay food. I felt healthier with each bite!


We made it!


David walking Caryn down the aisle with Honey (who stole the show!).


Caryn and Greg. So so sweet.


Poached eggs with sourdough toast + pulled pork and chipotle relish at Bayleaf Cafe.


This poor puppy had to endure the ‘leave the bacon on the nose until told’ trick over and over again.


Pete’s T-shirt. Love it. Can you name them all? I could pretty easily!


Spotted at the airport on the way home.

Had a great weekend up in Byron for Caryn and Greg’s wedding. I went out with Caryn for 7 years. She was my hippy surfer girl. We first met when I was still doing my design internship during my last year of uni and we ended up running a really successful design business for many years (we even kept running it after we separated).

We’ve remained good friends since (I love that), and I couldn’t be happier that she’s met her man, Greg who I thought was a champ from the very first time I met him many years ago.

The wedding was so so sweet. Especially the heartfelt speeches. I’m honoured to be surrounded by such great friends. I’m also so glad I’ve been making the time to get out and do things lately. I impress myself! Once upon a time I was so lazy that I just found it easier to say no than yes, but this year has been a great year so far. I’ve done so much and feel like there’s a whole lot more to come.

Pressies


Jamie’s hand made pressie to me, succulents! I’ve always wanted a succulent garden!


It even came with a spray bottle and this lovely card. She’s a talented cookie isn’t she?!


Richie the home brewer gave me this bottle and it’s delicious as expected (almost smashed it all last night!).


Mum gave me this little dude, and card. I was mad on robots as a kid. still remember the robot B’day cake mum made me, which looked a lot like this little fella!


My pressie to myself. Burton luggage complete with skate wheels. I did want Herschel luggage to go with the rest of my gear, but failed to find a plain black one in time for this weekend’s Byron trip so I settled for this instead.

Been so busy lately, and updating this blog less as less as I’ve been too lazy to take the GF1 out (and instead I’m relying on my iPhone + facebook + instagram). I’m off to Byron today for Caryn’s wedding. Pretty excited! I’ve packed the GF1, will be sure to take a few snaps! :)

Fuel 4 Charity

I’ve spent a part of my life trying to make heaps of money, and failed pretty badly at it (sorry Mum!), but one thing I am good at is drawing a crowd, creating communities and (apparently) social media marketing.

I’ve had a blast working on various passion projects over the years (it’s all I do!) and it’s high time I give back. With the help of good friends, and the greater community, I’m putting on a huge show (one of many to come I hope!) where ALL proceeds will go to charity.

I’d really appreciate it if you could spread the word on your networks, and get in touch with me if you have any suggestions to help the cause. Thanking everyone in advance!
