Beachy Days: Now and Then

I cannot figure out which of these beach activities would be more fun. Dancing on a double date with identical twins and vintage swimsuits: 

Or chilling with my ladies in comfy cardigans after a brunch of pancakes and a Vogue:

I'm Not Really Loving It

So I've just learnt from the Gruen Transfer that the McDonalds logo has greater symbol recognition around the world than the Crucifix. 

Now I'm not sure how I feel about this. In a way it's quite amusing that a burger company can have bypassed (only in marketing terms) the entire Christian faith. Yet though I'm not religious, I find it intensely worrying that Ronald McDonald has more facebook friends (if you will) than the most recognised historical figure ever.

Next they'll be selling McDonalds charms in jewellery stores.

Oh no.

Is that...?

How did I not see this coming?!

Sydney Writers' Festival

So tomorrow is a rather scary day for me. After recently starting at Giramondo publishing as a publicity/marketing intern, most of my work has been behind-the-scenes work through the internet and telephone.

Not tomorrow though! Oh no! For the first time I will be meeting with some of the authors I will be working with: Antigone Kefala and Robert Gray. They will be speaking at the Lived Lives panel to discuss (auto)biographical literature.

Now when I get nervous I tend to obsess about the little things. Logically I know that what I'm wearing will have no impact on my professional ability. But I still need to get it just right, if only so I feel socially comfortable. In my opinion there is nothing which messes with your esteem more than an ill-considered outfit. And for tomorrow it needs to be professional yet creative, respectful yet expressive. Basically, all I want to wear tomorrow is structured black pieces...

This is a summer version of what I'm thinking. Black military dress and big leather bag. For tomorrow I'll add in some stockings and a coat.

And of course, my signature shades. Gotta love the Lennon!

Wish me luck!
