Mr Sin

It has almost reached a year since my last blog post.  My lack of internet access, muses and time  have caused a substantial hindrance to contributing to Madness and Extravagance.  I digress. I’ve been really getting into the history of Kings Cross, seeing as though my living quarters/shoebox are pretty much in the thick of it. I actually love Kings Cross.  Walking to work is pure entertainment. Every hooker has her piece of pavement and her signature look from 10am every morning. Spice is pumping from Kings Cross Hotel. Porky’s is still open. Aboriginals with no shirts, bottle in hand who hiss “don’t be scared of the darkness”.  Homos are mincing through the hysteria, fitness first backpacks faaabulously newww dahhhling. Then there is the standard junkies, homeless and teeth less from Wayside Chapel. It is unbelievable the line where KX turns into Potts Point. Instantly, the stench is gone the homo population increases ten fold, cocktails become $17 and you can buy diamante collars for your pooch. Amazing. So this is KX today oh so very briefly.

What will follow in my next few posts will be the interesting and valid history of the cross to me. Which well known buildings still reside and what criminal acts have been divulged through research. One character I am particularly interested in is Abe Saffron. I am yet to find out, but I know that he is some how related to a cousin of mine. In short Abe was one of Australia’s most powerful crime figures between the 40s and 60s.  My research has begun, and I have already discovered some interesting things…coming soon.

Give me your outfit now.

The blog, Bleach Black produced the goods for this post. The designer Novella Royale has reused vintage leather jackets to create one of a kind handbags which have been hand made in LA. Her website isn’t up and running yet which is a bit draining. I want my hands on one of these asaaappp!

Fuck off.. this is so damn creative.

Massimo Gammacurta- Artist, Designers and photographer has had a brilliant idea. High end fashion lollipops.

Each lolipop features one of four high end fashion brands (Gucci, YSL, Louis Vuitton, Chanel). The flavors include: Gucci juicy pomegranate, YSL caramel, Louis Vuitton watermelon slice, Chanel luscious lilac, YSL wild cherry, Chanel green apple, and more.
