If you want to take the piss out of Paris Hilton, you have to be original about it. Every second schmuck on the street can get funny with YouTube and Paris does a pretty good job of making herself look silly too. If you want to stand out you've got to rise above the masses. The Motel Sisters and their "sexy art posse of hot talent", which includes Teo Treloar, Gino Ho and Bridie Connell, appreciate this.

Mission Restaurant & Bar
Pre-empting our cry for small bars by opening about a year ago, Mission bravely adopted the mould of a restaurant-come-bar-come-art-gallery. Located on an appealingly innocuous side street, in an old Gothic Revival church sandwiched between former warehouses, Mission channels Lower East Side hidden chic almost too well.

Who likes EDWARD SCISSORHANDS? You do? Well, two Sydney-side artists, Jaki Middleton and David Lawrey, do too. So much so, that they've combined their love of cinema with their love of art. Their newest show, The Wayback Machine, is a collaboration in which, basically, they've created wierd and wonderful installations based on their favourite movies.

You are cordially invited to mingle among ash heaps and millionaires in a den of vast carelessness. Your host? The mysterious debonair otherwise known as: Even Books. The purpose?
