Getting Fruity with Pineapple Dance Studio
Louie Spence is the epitome of camp. He’s got the lisp, the sashay, the ability to spin on cue… plus he can backflip and put his legs behind his head.
Spence is the living, breathing, high-kicking funny bone of Pineapple Dance Studios, a hit television show being dubbed as ‘car-crash reality TV’, currently screening on Fox 8. (more…)
The Subs - Rip Your Underpants Off & Dance
It’s funny that in this day and age of instant gratification, there are still instances where inspired works of art seemingly don’t rip apart the collective imagination in one blazing moment, but slowly seep across the world instead, infiltrating infectiously.
The Sub’s debut album Subculture is one such work. (more…)

Now Is The Time For Dancing… with Brash & Sassy
Brash & Sassy have a comedic timing which belies the last four years they’ve spent embroiled in each other’s lives, their catty commentary akin to that of siblings. Or worse, parents.
Gennaia Febraio is unabashedly candid and plays it larger than life – just like her Dynasty inspired bouffant – while her partner in crime, Ava Loverock, is far more shrewd and calculating, making them the quintessential odd couple, a veritable disco yin and yang. (more…)
Popsicle Top Picks @ PFF 2010
On William will once again take the attitude out of fashion with Popsicle, a pop-up shop dedicated entirely to emerging WA designers.

Shedding Light on Miami Horror
Miami Horror are the band d’jour at current. Their ‘70s inspired debut has been a long time coming – years in fact. But now that’s it’s finally here, original band member Ben Plant couldn’t be happier. He took some time out to chat with OUTinPerth about the band’s debut album, Illumination.
Can you describe your genre for the readers who might not be familiar with you? I struggle because of the album, it’s so hard to pigeonhole. Even to say its disco influenced pop psychedelica is too broad really. (more…)
Doing The Dietrich
Marlene Dietrich was one of the great icons from the Golden Age of Hollywood, known for her overt gender bending and ceaseless dedication to glamour.
She consumed the screen, set it alight, made men and women swoon alike.
German born and raised, Dietrich purred her dialogue, drizzling sex appeal over every scene, informing people with hypnotic rigour that she was a bad influence. (more…)
Oh To Have Lived In America…
While the prospect of living in America may be far from appealing in this modern age where a double dip recession looms, but back in the 1950’s the USA was truly the land of opportunity.
While the suburbs became the land of white picket fences and pinafores, baked goods and nuclear families, the cities became visceral melting pots of nationalities, immigrants moving to the world’s greatest economy to pursue the American dream. (more…)
Designer Profile: Alistair Trung
I always strive to bring the boy out of the girl, and the girl out of the boy. A man and a woman are different in body, but in soul and spirit, we are the same.
A meeting with Alistair Trung falls somewhere between profound fashion insight and holy communion for the soul’s sense of style. (more…)
Book Feature: The Quiet Ones
The Quiet Ones
by C.J.Nichols
Independent
The majority of large publishers not only here in Australia do not generally accept unsolicited manuscripts from unpublished authors, which makes the business of getting published that much tougher.
Queensland author C.J. Nichols has utilised the self publishing of his debut supernatural thriller The Quiet Ones not as a vanity project or something to serve his ego, but as a way of garnering attention. (more…)
