Cafe Culture

Signs

Giant slices..

Art Nouveau Parisienne..

American Diner Classics...

Stop to see the signs.

Architectural street

Sometimes amazing architecture brings something

to a street scape that elevates that streets aesthetic to

another level.

When the Eiffel Tower was built , not only did it do

this , but it created a whole new excitement in Paris and

changed the shape of architecture in general.

Frank Gehry's buildings have that effect also.

As have the sweeping Japanese influenced sweeping

roof of the Serpentine Cafe in Hyde park , London,

and the glass filled space station like Prada building

in Tokyo.

My favourite has to be the new Art Gallery in

Melbourne.

It has created such a buzz and has transformed this

pocket of the city into something really special;

an inner city , futuristic sanctuary.

Hendrix Hair

Suzy Quatro, Jimmy Hendrix, James Morrison,

Jet, Michael Hutchins, Keith Richards..

they all had HAIR..

Sometimes a legendary rock star mane

of hair really ...well, rocks out.. I guess.

One of the things about rock star hair is,

it is way harder to achieve than it looks.

It takes months of partying with no washing

and conditioner is never a friend of the

Rock God.

Never!

With Kirsten Stewart about to star in the

movie about Joan Jett's life..this do is about

to go mainstream.

So start growing , stop washing and start moshing.

Or just go against the grain and shave it all as

any rock star rebel would.

Pipe Dreams

Have you ever really looked at pipes as

sculpture?

I have never really noticed how

architecturally interesting they can be

until I was gazing up at one of the most

architecturally important buildings of

modern times; the Pompidou centre in Paris,

and I thought: it's just a whole collection

of interestingly beautiful, industrially cool..

pipes.

Pyramid Perfection

The Pyramid has to be the most mystical

of all forms.

Created mysteriously in Egyptian a time

before the complexed machines used for

construction today were even dreamt of .

Could there have been some kind of

extraterrestrial intervention ,or even help

from the Gods?

We will never know, but this symbol of

perfection is as powerful now as it was in

the time of the great Pharaohs.

Drink Up!

The streets of busy cities can take a lot

out of you.

Thirsty work you might say.

Drink breaks are obligatory!

Whether you stop for a cool long glass

of fresh juice or a glass of wine in a

busy bistro ... drink up in style.
