Still on the owl tip. Please view what can be described as probably one of the biggest “misses” of my shopping life, a beautiful vintage owl bag:
Oh regrets! It was only about AU$100 too. If you’re digging the sheer amount of junk in this photo, next time you’re in Melbourne visit the Chapel Bazaar (217-223 Chapel Street, Prahran). Heaven for people like moi, who enjoy a good fossick and delight in scoring old gems. There appears to be 3+ owls in the one photo… so if you’re into woodland creature paraphernalia, chances are you’ll find a few.
Also worth checking out in Melbourne is tattooist Sam Rulz (she designed and inked my shoulders). Keeping on trend, she’s made a cool how-to guide, ‘Painting an Owl in 20 Steps’. Radical.

Woo-hoo, Colleen AF Venable is totally connecting the style dots with her rad giraffe tattoo. The dots idea is rather charming… which makes me think – how about a paint by numbers tattoo? Also, I have a feeling that giraffes might just be the next big thing!
Here’s a sharpie giraffe tattoo I had drawn on me at this year’s Big Day Out festival. For a short time I did consider having it permanently inked on… but then sobered up. Also, when I went to sleep that night, I neglected to wash it off… and woke up with giraffe imprints everywhere – on my other arm, face, tummy. Good thing they’re cute!
*If you’re not familiar with the title reference, it’s from these classic Kiwi milkshake cups… The longest drink in town!
