> SOME SONG ADVICE

Who needs poetry when we have song lyrics. Seriously. I’ve just rediscovered Wear Sunscreen. This and Bob Dylan’s Last Thoughts on Woodie Guthrie give the ultimate advice. Well, for me anyway.

> THE WASHINGTON WAY

I’m so tired my body is like a beached jellyfish but I still have enough energy to paint my nails multi coloured – like Miss Megan Washington. Who is cooler than an esky on a 40 degree New Years Eve.

> DR DENIM

It’s been a year since I bought a pair of jeans and I underestimated the effect a new item of clothing would have on me and my wardrobe. It was like when you’re craving food and you just don’t know what it is… you keep eating but nothing ever satisfies – until you hit upon the flavour you desire. I didn’t realise why I was feeling so lack luster until Dr Denim and his Jamie Olive Jeans jumped out and slapped me in the face while I was in General Pants on Saturday.

Dr Denim, you gave me and my wardrobe that adrenaline injection that we needed. And then I visited your website and fell in love with your brand. Dr, your website is cool, your photography is even cooler and you make my arse look rounder and perkier than Cheap Monday. You’ve got me.  Aaahhh. I’m going to go down the street in my new jeans.

> MAN-GIFT OF THE WEEK

It’s not often that I get to see a man in a penguin suit, but when I do I DON’T WANT TO SEE A PRE-TIED BOW. Men who have these are clearly lazy, and obviously no-good with their hands (something too look out for).

Apart from an actual bow tie, the best present you can give your man is the ability to tie one. This is were YouTube comes in handy. Thanks to Lucky, our ‘Cinch-it-down-sir’ (watch and you’ll see what I mean), your man will be dressed with flair looking slightly asymmetrical and sharp. Hot.

If you prefer diagrams, try this one. Maybe you can print it out and put it in the box with your pressie.

Head to Harrolds, or the Mens Department in either David Jones or Myer and track down a cheeky bow tie for your man. Classic black, or maybe something with a little more kick. Bring back the elegance.
