tourist in my own town

paulie

I met up with my friend Paulie who is from Melbourne but we crossed paths in London so on his holiday back I took him to the spot I think is the coolest and in desperate need of a photoshoot. I wanted to dress up in only white and pink…maybe I will stage a round two. It’s just a building in LaTrobe street called the Republic Tower which is used as a pinboard for rich man David Walsh, a private art collector slash professional gambler who once purchased John Brack’s painting The Bar from the National Gallery of Victoria, for a simple $3.12 million.The facade photo was taken by Polly Borland, an Australian artist now living in Britain, features GWEN a woman she saw on the street and semi stalked to be her model for the Bunny Series.

We met up with John and Adam and all of a sudden I was on a date with three handsome men. They took me to their fav photoshoot hangout at the Fitzroy Gardens. The dolphins. Another controversial Melbourne art piece created thanks to other wealthy benefactors Dinah and Henry Krongold who donated $30,000 towards the construction of the fountain made by sculptress June Arnold. Word is it’s controversial but unlike the boobs seen in the top piece of art I can’t seem to discover why these poor sea creatures are getting a bad wrap.
