491 Brunswick St , The Honest Window
I'm strangely attracted to Penguins
Perching incandescently and unassumingly in the window of 491 Brunswick st is the Honesty window. Post your secrets through its mailbox and you will feature amongst your peers, or not so peers as one who was admitted their foe's and follies.
Pay the wailing wall a visit and muse on present's past. xx

You Are What You Eat
Did you know that Flamingoes get their Pink colouring from the Red Algae they eat?

Kiwi Fish and Chips
Last week I met Michael and the boys at Kiwi Fish and Chips, located at the Tribeca Apartments; shop 9b, 412- 442 Victoria Parade East Melbourne, Kiwi Fish is the Best Fish and Chips in town. You might call me a little ostentatious but how can you judge if you haven't been? The fish is fresh, the chips are plentiful and if you're a veteran Kiwi like me you can't go past a cold Tui and some homegrown T-Sauce. It might be a hop skip and a rather long Jump form the ocean but it is well worth the trip, and if you like it like we do, you'd drive to Port Melbourne with your catch in toe to enjoy it amongst the villainous seagulls and the soft sunset. xx
Underground Cinema takes Melbourne back to the Future
The kind folks at Underground Cinema gave The Lurid Republic a double press pass this Saturday to see the first Underground Event of the year themed “Back To The Future”. With over a year and Half behind them in production experience it was obvious that the night was finely tuned, well read and an all round success in our eyes. Catching the Weribee train to Newport we were “transported” to another dimension. The event was set at The Substation in a beautiful old factory conversion, just a stone's throw from Newport Station. The start of the night’s events began with a larger than life “homeless” young man carranging newcomers with his plights about the Apocalypse and cryptic messages to get one wondering just what the night’s film might be…not to mention the crowd pulled a veritably impressive hiatus of costumes to fit the "time travel" theme.
When we entered the venue the lower level of the building was reserved for insanity, with an entrance staged with Inquisition Platform complete with Panel of Scientists and Infirmary Mental Asylum and Correction Rooms. All of which were filled with all sorts of wild insane types that weren’t afraid to break the age old boundary of “personal space”.
The top level was the Cinema and Bar and the screening began with a set of scientists informing the audience about their chances of receiving an “official pardon” if they chose to ‘volunteer’ to collect surface samples. Broadcast then moved to the big show,"Twelve Monkeys" Directed by Terry Gilliam. Starring Bruce Willis, Jon Seda, Vernon Campbell & Brad Pitt. Brad's performance was paramount and gave the film the diversity it needed to pack a real Arthouse punch. Although at times the plot was slightly confusing, it was an all round great 90's flick.
Full of weirdos, Junkies and Mentally Enlightened types the night was well worth it and I wholeheartedly recommend you wedge $30 out of that dusty old wallet and make your next Saturday night out a theatrical one.

Swarmed
These little beasties are what Locusts Look like , and if your anything like me you had no idea they were pretty much Crickets that batt for the other side and prefer the more flamboyant couture that make them, well, look rather inedible to say the least. Good job boys, you aint' gonna be lunch no time soon. xx

Pool Sharks and Dragons
Wandering through Little Bourke you can usually find some of the city's sneakiest pearls. This Pool shark image is a wonderfully re-assuring for the average pool player such as myself, i will in no way be playing pool at this hall. xx
