Visionaire in the Basement
A few months back, VISIONAIRE packaged up 50 issues and sold them for US$150,000. Unless you are some Trump-like character, there is no way you will ever afford one, let alone 50, of these ridiculously beautiful publications (which have come as light boxes, toys and vinyl sound under the watchful eye of Testino, Kawakubo and Jonze).
Ooga Booga
What one place can you score: mix tapes made by Calvin Johnson, furry dolls by Mike Kelley, claymation DVDs by Ian Svenonius, limited edition Maui and Sons reissues, and copies of Werner Herzog's travel diary?
If you said heaven, you're right! But if you can't wait that long - where on earth are you gonna find all these delights? That's OOGA BOOGA in LA's Chinatown.
Girls Like Us Issue 7
How far does your lesbigay folk memory stretch back? Could you identify six types of lesbian hairstyle?
Direct out of Amsterdam since 2005, the founding editors of GIRLS LIKE US have created a wonderful contemporary - er - rag that doesn't assume the existence of a single and complete lesbian community, but at the same time unites women who love women through distinct and sophisticated design and editorially impartial content.
Mag Nation online
There's no longer any reason to be JALOUSE of the Kiwis and the Melburnians, because now you can shop at mag nation online.
THIS IS A MAGAZINE Mecca. With over 1200 mags now available to buy at a click of a mouse, and 4000 in total set for upload in the next two months, mag nation is the MONOCLE of the mag retail world.
Martini Café
At first I thought the reason I liked this cafe so much was because I lived across the road...and everything tastes good when you're hungover.
But when they closed over Christmas and I was forced to try other places I realised that my attachment to Martini was more than just convenience.
Martini is undoubtedly the cool kid of King Street cafés, intelligently boasting the best airfreight collection of ‘zines I've seen outside of Kinokuniya.
MOJO MUSIC
If, like me, you still wander down York Street hoping that Waterfront Records will suddenly reappear like Brigadoon, you need to look over at the sunny side of the street. Just down the block, Mojo Music is tucked away at basement level. Frank, who co-ran Waterfront (and helped me make my musical choices in the ‘90s) is still keeping things aside and pointing me in the right direction with claims such as "if this doesn't blow your mind you can bring it back".
Vogue Swap Shop
Not to be confused with Hoboe's Remorse (aka Sunday Morning Shame Spiral), Buyer's remorse is a terrible affliction affecting 8 in 5 Australians. There are only two known cures: teenage girl clothes swap nights, or Vogue's amazing online Swap Shop.
Way more fun than eBay, the Swap Shop forum threads read like a whose who of glamour.
