Brisbane zine scene

today was the first official meeting for an exciting new zine project that i will be working on as a Fashion Assistant - which involves me writing two feature articles and helping out on things like fashion photo shoots and the general organisation of the launch party (expected to be in June / July).
i certainly don't have much faith in new year's resolutions, but in the future i am trying really hard to beef up my resume with relevant fashion work / industry experience.
the meeting seemed really promising, and i'm really looking forward to the final outcome. the whole project is still under wraps, but i'm sure i will be promoting it on here in a little while :)

on a different note, i went on a crazy music acquiring spree tonight. extremely varied:
Alexander Ebert - truth
Bloc Party - flux
Bobby Vinton - PS i love you
Chet Faker - no diggity (cover)
Dean Martin - welcome to my world
Etta James - trust in me
Frank Sinatra - what'll i do
Friendly Fires - skeleton boy
Groove Armada - paper romance
Jay-Z + Kanye - Otis
Karnivool - deadman
Lana Del Rey - video games
Last Dinosaurs - zoom
Little Dragon - my step / ritual union
Mark Ronson - hey boy / lose it in the end / record collection / you gave me nothing
Metronomy - the look
Queen - don't stop me now
Real Estate - its real
Roy Orbison - shahdaroba
The Rubens - lay it down

Vic Damone - on the street where you live
Wilfred Jackal - rooms
Young the Giant - apartment
Zero 7 - medicine man / Mr. McGee / swing

+ in true Christmas spirit, i made a batch of Nuts + Bolts snacks today (and ate far too much).
+ yesterday i picked up some fabulously trashy reading while Christmas shopping - an Anna Wintour pseudo-'biography', a book on Wikileaks by one of the original founders and a millionth 'how to run a fashion business' book to add to my growing collection (i am of the opinion that you can never get too much advice / different opinions).
