The Making of an Australian Style
Friends Fashion and Fabulousness by Dr Sally Gray now in its 2nd edition, linking fashion, art, sexual politics and diverse urban subcultures. A story of intelligent creative friends, encouraging one another energetically to live daily life, and of how the personal and political became profitable. It offers gossip, an intimate account of funny and ironic gestures; the excitement of the gay and feminist politics of the time, the interest of connections between figures in fashion, art and entertainment in Australia and overseas. She also reminds us of the confidence of creative Australians at the time.

Heather Mitchell’s TOAST PORTRAIT ART
Actress Heather ‘Mitchell’s toast art has fans everywhere. Richard E Grant, who appears with Mitchell in the film Palm Beach, has a ‘toast’ portrait. Mitchell has been long experimenting with the lifespan of her artworks. The longevity of a toast’s life has been trial and error. Toasts from eight years ago are still going strong, some have cracked – and one gave birth to a family of moths. “The toasts I make now are preserved in a solution, so although there is no guarantee of lasting a lifetime, they should survive intact many, many years if not dropped.” https://bit.ly/2LSzidh
