The Sweetest of Sleeps – #17 Way to Live

by Eva Wynne

The sweetest of sleeps – an ode to the unintentional nap. When you’re so relaxed you feel smug; reclining with a book or magazine. And sudden drowsiness surprises you. Surrender. Slowly drift away into the sweetest of slumbers. This is part of my 101 Ways to Live series (follow the link to read the original post).

Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel

by Eva Wynne

The Eye has to Travel featured in Brisbane’s International Film Festival 2012. The documentary is about outlandish bon vivant and curator of style Diana Vreeland. I love the portrayal of Vreeland from adventurous woman to style icon – placed among the backdrop of rapidly changing roles of woman and the relationship with power. I love the resilience she conveyed – the famous quote “There’s only one very good life and … Read More Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel

#16 Way to Live – Know your boundaries.

by Eva Wynne

I have limits. That place where I draw-the-line. Tupperware, specifically The Tupperware Party. I’m not 100 per cent sure why I feel so strongly about this – it’s no fault of the product.

I know familiar faces when I see them… eventually. No fan of reinventing the wheel, I found the following review of Southside Tea Room on Brisbane’s Weekend Edition – … Read More Southside Tea Room… Brisbane’s Grate-ist?

#15 Way to Live – Laugh

by Eva Wynne

If it strikes you as hilarious in the cinema, feel free to laugh. Laugh as loud and as long as you like. This is part of my 101 Ways to Live series (follow the link to read the original post).

Cat Power Brings It to Brisbane

by Eva Wynne

Cat Power played Brisbane’s Tivoli Theatre last night. It was awesome. I’m never sure if music I fell in love with in the 90s converts to today but I can tell you this Cat Power translates – with amazingly fragile raw soulfulness.
