The flood gates have finally opened.
Australian Idol 2
Casey Donovan and Anthony Callea are the two remaining finalists of the Australian Idol 2 competition. The Australian public have chosen well. The 16 year old Casey Donovan has managed to constantly mesmorise and bewitch the voters each week with emotionally pulsating and vocally moving performances, ever since the semi-finals, when she garnered the first 'Touchdown' for the season. Anthony Callea of Melbourne, although being the judges choice in the Wildcard round, has managed to create a massive national following, thanks to his unforgettable performance of 'The Prayer', originally performed by Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion. The next two weeks, particularly next week, with contestants choosing their own songs and debuting the Australian Idol's debut single, should allow a better idea of who Australia should vote for as their next Idol. Choose well.
Vivienne Westwood
The National Gallery of Australia has expressed its disappointment over Vivienne Westwood's decision to turn down an accepted invitation to attend an exhibition being staged in her honour.
I really hope to get the chance to go to Canberra and see the exhibition, it contains parts that are unavailable to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and is the largestever exhibit of her work. Her classic and controversial mastering of the textile artform have stood strong over the times, making her one of the most influential designers of our time.
Looking Glamorous
Speaking of travelling (my travelling, that is), Harper's Bazaar (December 2004) have published an intriguing set of 'How To's'. There are a range of questions that are each answered by a well-known designer, offering their own advice and practice. I found one in particular most relevant to my desire to travel to Canberra.
"How to look glamorous when flying" by Michael Kors
There are five things you should always take with you when you travel: aviator sunglasses for departure and arrival, a black cashmere pullover, a cashmere blanket, a perfect khaki trench and a pair of fresh white jeans to change into.
With some simplification and less expenditure, the outfit is a definite possibility. It makes me want to travel from airport to airport, getting off the plane....getting on the plane...
Calming Sight of Sky Blue
Driving home after a tiresome and boring day at work, I came to rest at a busy Melbourne intersection. Letting my mind wander off my thoughts of Australian Idol, what was for dinner and whether or not I had scratched my new Dolce & Gabbana shoes, I looked up to see a beautiful fully-leafed tree, surrounded by light-blue skyline, juxtaposed against the 70's-esque brickwork of a private hospital. The world seemed so simple, just as it had when I was a young boy sitting in the back of my parents car, counting telegraph poles and falling asleep to the calming sight of sky blue. It made me wonder, when will we ever get back to the days when everything was so simple? Does everyone see the same unnecessarily complex traffic whirring around us? Does everyone want that feeling of the innocent child in the back seat?
