Neil Young On Bucks
I had to wear these fuckin' white bucks. I liked the fact your feet were light and you could move around. I had this Sani-White stuff I used to clean 'em- this white stuff in a bottle with this sponge thing on the end-you paint them. It's like whitewashing your feet.
I was always about two or three years behind everybody. There was nothin' new about white bucks at the time I started wearin' white bucks. They were like, out. No one was wearing them. That's when I got mine. They were enough of a statement to piss people off. They set me apart.

Reveries
I am writing down my reveries for myself alone. If, as I hope, I retain the same disposition of mind in my extreme old age, when the time of my departure draws near, I shall recall in reading them the pleasure I have in writing them and by thus reviving times past I shall as it were double the space of my existence. In spite of men I shall enjoy the charms of company, and in my decrepitude I shall live with my earlier self as I might with a younger friend.

Sweatshirt, a new multiple by Los Angeles artist Chris Lipomi, is a garment that is also a camera obscura - a portable 'veiled chamber' that, through a small rivet hole, allows the wearer to view a projection of the outside world on their chest.
Available via split/fountain, Auckland, New Zealand.

Mount Gortex
Trail clowning in red and blue in the middle to later 1980's. Saying yes to the return of the Kangaroo pocket, saying maybe to the return of Hacky Sack as a legitimate social pastime.

Picnic At Hanging Rock
I can't stop thinking about Peter Weir's, Picnic At Hanging Rock today. I remember going there after seeing the film as a child and being mortally terrified that if I strayed from my family I'd never be seen again.
