finally, a day off that was sunny (though still chilly), and fun and hilarious. i spent it with soph but started here at leila's. doesn't look like much but is one of my favourite places; they sell fresh produce, sausages, couverture chocolate and many picnic-y type things. big plans for summer fun.
and then we kind of accidentally ended up at this madonna exhibition. it was so funny. all of the stuff (costumes, magazines, albums, barbies, merchandise etc etc) came from a private collection and it was really quite incredible that one person could incite such fervour (and one person would spend so much buying into that).
the costumes from evita were beautiful. though the curation and the venue left a little to be desired.
the guy in the background was taking a picture of himself with a picture of madonna...
then on to rochelle's canteen for luncheon.
it's in an art school and is only open for three hours every weekday. food was delicious, service fantastic and the light is simply amazing. i'm coming back as often as possible.
oh, this is my garden. it's shared between the row houses all down my street.
and my backdoor.
a familiar sight. i'd hate to say i've found a replacement for 78s but i've certainly found a substitute in rough trade. they may have exclusive mix cds and live recordings that you get free with some records, but they don't have a crew like grumpy, froggy, (formerly)bandana guy and smiley (though he's been awol for a couple of years now).

hey thanks for your comment on my page. what are you studying? i did my thesis on fashion and architecture for my final year architecture thesis. it was very interesting and i would definitely recommend it if you are interested in both industries.
