Being mean to hipsters is fun. Exhibit A: This, Exhibit B: This. It's also a cinch, especially when some fluoro-loving party-starters, who claim to sound like 'crushing up rose quartz and smoking it in a double headed crack pipe' do most of the work for you. All you have to do is dress with a strong Surry slant.

In the World of Things Without Weight
Jodee Knowles is the shiz! I mean this Perth minx/painter's stock response to the ‘unsatisfactory' is "I'd rather suck Bigfoot's dick!" If you get her tipsy she may even confess her grand ambition to be in the top ten artists working in the US. By. Age. Thirty. She also owes me fifteen bucks.

Minimal branding has never been so hip.

Four Ate Five
It's a truth universally acknowledged that places with photos of the food out front should be treated with caution. But hoist a loaded rack of Adriano Zumbo pastries in the window and you're inviting flirtation and window shopping.
So why stay a while at 485, with so many other distractions in this saturated strip? It's because their Moroccan baked eggs add spice to missionary-style breakfasts; their French toast is dished up with a comforting menage et trois of banana, rhubarb and mascarpone; their vegan menu options and lunch forage in well-chartered territory (burgers, sandwiches and salads) but deliver on the promise.
Covers by Cybele Malinowski and Daniel Boud
They got a shy Ladyhawke to go topless, captured Blue Juice in their knickers, took a photo of Sarah Blasko that was described by her manager as her best ever, squeezed 100 musicians into one photo, and somehow managed to make Muscles look attractive.
Between them, this couple have probably snapped every musician to arrive on our shores, and if you've ever picked up a copy of Drum, Brag, 3D World, JMag or Time Out, you have in all likelihood seen what a bang up job they do of it.
