Why adopt Western threads when you can wear this get up? Amazing.

➜ Musings of an Inappropriate Woman: Guest Post: HBO'S Girls and The Story of a (Multicoloured) Girl
I love this guest post by Melbourne writer and actor Nicole Lee, and I think you will too.
I love Lena Dunham. Say what you will, but the fact that the girl wrote, directed and acted in her own show, while at the same time managing to make a nuanced commentary on the struggle of today’s…
It’s pretty disheartening having a unique name as a child. I was never able to find mugs or key rings with my name on it. All I wanted was to have a normal name that had nothing to do with a half-naked bear that shall remain nameless. It would have saved me a lot of grief from playground taunts too.
Queue my excitement when I saw “Winnie Bay” on the map during a trip to Avoca Beach last year. Sounds picturesque already.
After a small downhill hike, this is what we found.
Haha Gosford City Council. Poo. Winnie the Pooh. I get it.
What are the chances
I know someone who once entered every single competition she could get her hands on for a year.
All she won was a keyring. And many telemarketing calls.
If that isn’t worth a #FML, then I don’t know what is.
Late to class? Take the slide! Students at Technical University of Munich enjoy a four-story slides on a daily basis. If only New York had a similar system for commuters.
When I think leather shorts, I think of leather short shorts, which have never been my thing.
But these leather shorts are perfect. Casual with a hint of masculinity. Love the texture of the leather as well. I almost feel like I could make a pair myself.

Seeing this video makes me even more regretful about not making the trip to Kew to see the Villa Alba Museum while I was in Melbourne last month.
The walls of the Villa Alba House, which was built between 1882 and 1884, were decorated with intricate murals and stencils that were covered up when the building was passed on from its original owners. Now the house is undergoing restoration and an upcoming exhibition Narrative Space will breathe new life into this place again.
The heavy rain deterred us that Sunday but these images make me think the haunting atmosphere would have only been amplified by the soft drum of raindrops and grey shadows.

This track makes me feel like I’m in a tropical place, far away from rainy Sydney.
My review of the Angry Birds app for Sydney Morning Herald, 28 December 2010:
“A highly addictive game from Finnish game developer Rovio. Angry Birds is the top pay-for-use app in Australia. The aim is to help the angry birds to exact revenge on a group of green pigs who have stolen their eggs. Sure, it’s a strange premise but then name any computer game that doesn’t require us to suspend disbelief.”
My interview with Tom Sharah (pictured), the 2009 co-winner of the Annual Cabaret Showcase, and Gillian Cosgriff, a 2010 contestant; 3 December 2010, Sydney Morning Herald:
“Cabaret doesn’t have to involve singing cheesy tunes while lounging on a Steinway. Not for 22-year-old Sydney artist Tom Sharah. The co-winner of the 2009 Annual Cabaret Showcase has made it his mission to contradict that cliche by delivering more contemporary and accessible performances that target younger audiences.”
