Although summer is quickly approaching here in Perth Town, I still love to look at all of the wonderful fall and winter items being brought out on our northern hemisphere neighbouring sites, even if it induces an immediate downpour of sweat to see people adorably rugged up online on a 40 degree celcius day. My latest obsession is Gradient Nails. I don’t know if this is what everyone else calls them but that’s how I choose to describe them. Basically it is this new nail painting style where you get the manicurist (or yourself if you are good at doing this sort of thing and like me, buy nail polish in almost the exact same colour but only a few shades difference) to paint each nail in a colour roughly one shade difference than its predecessor, so it’s like, well, a gradient. Just look at the picture okay, you’ll see what I mean.

I also love the idea of different nails in different colours, as seen here:

I know this doesn’t really have anything to do with winter but I think that coffee cup in the last image made me want to snuggle up under a blanket with a big book and some chocolate. It made sense at the time okay? Plus, NAILS!
The Perth International Arts Festival is fast approaching and whilst browsing through the line up this year, our hearts gave a little flutter when we saw the words “An Evening with David Sedaris.” That’s right Sedaris fans, a whole 2.5 hours with the man and his stories! Tickets were quickly purchased by the team and now the count down has begun. Some people have advent calendars at this time of year, we have a Sedaris Calendar. Although having said that, have you started your Christmas shopping yet? If the stresses of crowds pushing and shoving give your heart more than a flutter, why not peruse our
trusty catalogue? We will even gift wrap and include a little personalised note to the receiver if you let us know what you want to say in case you accidentally leave it too late to get to the post office yourself (We understand, you are focusing on Sedaris tickets.) Just send us an email after you purchase, easy as pie! Isn’t the internet awesome?
Here at Moose HQ we are amused by many things on a daily basis. The whimsical imagery of Milan Rodriguez, the adorable designs from Lisa Max and pretty much anything cat related. Cats are actually one of the most hilarious animals you could ever possibly hope to live with and one person who has a perfect understanding of this is Simon Tofield. His animated series (Aptly titled “Simon’s Cat”) has us laughing with glee every time we watch. Over and over again. Enjoy!
Whooooo Weeeeeee! Apologies for the long silence there my fellow Moose Lovers, exciting things have been a brewin’ at Moose Headquarters and I’m sad to say the poor little blog got left behind. Never fear! We are back on board and have many new and exciting things to post! First up is this amazing piece of Roomba Art. “Roomba?” I hear you curiously ask? Is this some new medium? A different word for Performance? A Terrible pronunciation of “Rumba”? Heavens No! Roomba’s are those little round vacuum cleaners that go around on their own vacuuming your floor for you whilst you are busy doing other things (like blogging.) Someone had the ingenious idea of using a slow exposure and recording the little guys’ movements in one frame. The results? Tres Bon! (Photos courtesy of here, here and here.)
