Surrealists at Play - Dali Sculptures LAUNCH at Billich Gallery

Last night saw a glittering launch party for The Dali Universe sculpture show at Billich Gallery the Rocks in the very heart of Sydney. A great venue for a Dali show as painter Charles Billich has, like Dali, always listened to his own voice and moved to the beat of a different drum. Lucky guests mingled with hosts Charles and Christa Billich whilst enjoying a live piano performance and those great Dali sculpture editions - and the additional presence of Andy Warhol!!! Well I wasn't expecting that! Andy was in fact actor Boguslaw Szpilcazak who is currently appearing as the puppet master of Pop Art, Andy Warhol in the play The Trial Of Dali, and stayed very much in character all night;. Great to see Charles signing a book for him at the end; I wonder who he made the inscription out to?

Ça va Gallery 8 - To The Outside In.

I have been wondering whether to show these street fashion shots or not for the past two days. I certainly like them though I am thinking they are a bit too close to night-out party-shots which is certainly not the idea behind them! Ça va are they street fashion? Well considering the title of the exhibition perhaps they are just right - To The Outside In; a lovely little group photography show is on now at Gallery 8 until the 3rd of March and some of the last nights of the Australian Summer..

Sisters, street fashion, red dress, nose ring and other jewellery; white shorts floral print blouse.

Sartorial Splendor in The Rocks Sydney

This is certainly my kind of Australian style. The real deal, no pretending, no faking. And as you can see, time is kind to those with their own sense of style. This gentleman started asking me where I was from from as I was photographing my legs in a window reflection. I kid you not; but, he was more than happy to pose for me for the blog for which I am very much obliged.
