Husband Flashback

2012-01-23T16:25:00.003+11:00

So this is what my beautiful Husband was doing 10years ago......
DMC Champion!
His technical skill and ability is AMAZING!!!! .....you can understand why I was hideously nervous the first time I had to do a Dj set in front of him!

Pre Australia Day Party with Cotton On

2012-01-23T15:58:00.007+11:00

Had the best day on Sat!! Cotton On threw a pre Australia Day party and invited me down to do a 4hr Dj set. Pumping sound system, a photobooth and a whole heap of Fun!! Highlight of the day was watching my Grandad "boogie" haha!

Australia Day...... Vents

2012-01-18T03:09:00.004+11:00

Despite telling myself i'd take a break from Djing this year, got a corporate spot this Sat as an early Australia Day promo....The music brief is all Australian music

My favourite Australian artist?

Vents.

If you don't know....get educated.

favourite club memory? dropping this track to a full room of dirty, rnb loving trash at a shit club in Northbridge....god i hate that city

Snoozing.....

2012-01-12T21:10:00.007+11:00

Was hunting through my computer today to find some pics from a gig last year for a new client....stumbled upon these and had to laugh.I HATE flying and airports.....witness the "glamour" of a 24hr round trip to Dj interstate. I fell asleep in the car to the airport straight after a gig and then proceeded to snooze again at the terminal....not pretty (although Aaron seems to be enjoying himself!)

Yep....life on the road just comes down to vending machines, departure times and falling asleep like a bum on a metal bench

My Favourite Shop - "Wunderkammer"

2011-12-17T15:30:00.008+11:00

One of the joys of being back in Melbourne is that I get to pop into my favourite little shop, Wunderkammer.

Its no secret that i love all things Taxidermy and the shop holds a vast array of creatures, skeletons, antique globes and scientific instruments along with many fossils and other curiosities. The name, 'Wunderkammer' apparently comes from the German for 'Cabinet of Curiosities'. Over the years people would find odd, strange & fantastic items & assemble these inside usually a glass fronted wooden cabinet.

This trip my pockets weren't deep enough to afford the large taxidermy peacock I fell head over heels in love for (nor would my suitcase accommodate it for the trip back to Perth) but I did still score myself a little Seahorse named Henry which I plan on mounting in a frame.

If you find yourself in Melbourne why not go for a visit!

Wunderkammer

439 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, 3000 Victoria, Australia

Open: Mon to Fri 10-6, Sat 10-4

Monday Night...

2011-12-13T00:27:00.004+11:00

Tired...(see previous post) prepping to fly to Melbs Wed morning for a few gigs....desperately trying to get music together....last min rush. Kitten not helping but hey, she's too cute to say no to.

Tomorrow night she is off to spend some time with her Grandpop/Godfather who is equally head over heels.....there is something nice about raising a living creature in a community of people who love it.

Anyway, as much as this blog has had a kitten overload, Grandpop promises more pics of the ginger whilst we're away so yes......expect even MORE of Lou Lou!

so tired i'm giving up on music downloads/comp.....off to crawl into bed with Hubby and kitten (which reminds me I have to write one more post before bed.....)

P.s yes...i have purple hair......because why the hell not try it once in your life?

Tired!

2011-12-12T23:01:00.003+11:00

Why the f*ck do I always underestimate how large a job is and leave it to the last minute?

Tired...want bed...instead chained to computer prepping music for Melbourne trip

And now procrastinating on Blogger

fuck

Live a Little...

2011-12-12T11:52:00.002+11:00

Life is too short not to embrace change....

i love you!!!

2011-12-10T01:23:00.003+11:00

yes more over sharing about Husband and Kitten....

Head over heels in love with both of them...

my happiness xx

Happiness is...

2011-12-10T00:51:00.003+11:00

.....slouching on the couch whilst Husband is across the room checking email and our kitten Lou Lou is running around the lounge room sitting in boxes whilst dragging her mini kitten toy with her.....i can't lie....i am head over heels in love with our kitten.......i've seen my blog.....its all about cat........but fuck it.....more photo's of the other love of my life (because obviously Hubby is the first!!!)

I present Lou Lou....

She decided she wanted a piece of the blogging action...

2011-12-09T09:58:00.001+11:00

6:25am Insomnia continues

2011-12-09T09:25:00.004+11:00

Lou lou is the only reason i'm always happy to return to Perth..... when Husband and I aren't in town spoiling her, she's living the lavish lifestyle with her Godparents

Spent the last hour trying to go to sleep...instead found myself curling up with Lou Lou and enjoying every minute.
*writing blog post whilst husband is fast asleep next to me and kitten is dragging her knitted cat toy and attempting to perch it on his head

Spring Racing Carnival Melbourne Part 2

2011-12-09T09:21:00.003+11:00

Next stop MAC!

2011-12-09T06:31:00.004+11:00

Just got back from Sydney. its 3:30am Perth time....home from the airport but along the way have contracted a serious case of insomnia.

Had the best trip (once our delayed flight FINALLY took off) !! so much so i was too busy enjoying the break to take any decent photo's...

I've now got 5 days down time to sip tea,, catch up on morning television and cuddle our kitten until we leave for another Melbourne stint. Couple of gigs to cram in before Christmas including catching up with my favourite brand MAC Cosmetics! Very excited for this one...

Wed 14th Dec i'll be Djing at the Bourke St, Melbourne MAC counter in Myer. 6 til 8pm. Lots of eyeshadow, electro and eyelashes!!!! if you're in the area doing some Christmas shopping, pop in, say hello and grab some makeup while you're there!!!

Being in Sydney reminds me....

2011-12-07T17:55:00.002+11:00

.....of how much i dislike Perth

Waking up in Sydney

2011-12-07T12:15:00.007+11:00

This morning Hubby and I are in Sydney.....although this almost didn't happen...

Storms, thunder, lightening caused chaos at Perth airport yesterday..... read it all HERE

So.... true to form we made the best of a bad situation and enjoyed the hospitality at the Virgin Members Lounge

Whats not to love about unlimited & free wine?

...its been fun

The Husband Always Has Something to Say Part 10057....

2011-12-05T00:17:00.004+11:00

Oh the "joys" of being back on Perth for 2 weeks.......

Apparently we've landed mid Perth Dance Music Awards Season.

Knowing what I do of who works/is connected to which venue. Who works with who and who pays for what, its no surprise that a) i have never heard of most of the people nominated and b) the few that i have heard of are related to Boomtick/Ambar/Villa who *dare i say it* are #cough heavily involved #UnderstatementOfTheYear

As always I think the Husband puts it best....

sigh.....Perth can you at least TRY!

2011-12-03T19:48:00.006+11:00

We are currently living between Melbourne and Perth.....In Perth today with Hubby......He photographed this....

Last time he was in town he got this....

Yep....kinda glad we're ditching our base here and relocating permanently to the east coast once again in Dec 2012

Hurrah! Back to Melbourne in less than 2weeks!

Want more?

Stakes Day Ahoy!

2011-11-07T16:20:00.013+11:00

I have to be honest......by Stakes day the wheels were beginning to come off the wagon. To be more specific, my 30hr Dj week was beginning to catch up with me and my feet were in a hideous state from my insistance on wearing incredibly high and impractical stiletto's all week. So...donning my fav leopard print leggings (much to VRC dress standard's annoyance), a pair of sensible flats and some serious "Tranny-esque Makeup", I headed back to Flemmington with the always stylish Husband in tow. Any tiredness I might have felt instantly melted away as we entered the glamour of The Birdcage for the last day of Spring Racing Carnival.

Stakes Day is traditionally known as family day and the vibe in the Birdcage was far more subdued with many more familiar faces (Kardashian's included) opting to miss the last day of racing. Given things were fairly quiet, Selekt and I had a wander around before my morning set and snapped a few of the more lavish marquees.

Kudo's must go to the Swisse tent who although loosing their star guest for the day aka Kim Kardashian, still managed to have a pumping tent and add a little humor to the situation with a life size cut out of the reality star at the entrance to welcome guests.

Back at my base, The Fruche tent, Stakes Day saw a few more gorgeous competition winners wander through along with many of the staff and corporates who had made the week such a success.

It was time to party and a lovely way to farewell my week with everyone involved.

Huge Thankyou to Style Counsel, Fruche, Miss J for being oh so fab and keeping us all smiling, and a special thankyou to the bar and catering crew....you boys rocked and made my job so much easier!!!!

And of course, Thankyou to my Best Friend, Husband and Manager. Takes someone special to keep me motivated, organized and whose happy to run out in the middle of the night to buy bath salts just so i can get my legs back on high heels to perform the next day....... love you xx

Got back to Perth in the early hours of Sunday. Quick trip down south to collect a few bits and pieces. Arrived back to Perth last night and now.......a WEEK of sleep and REST!!! Hurrah!!!!

Crown Oaks Day!

2011-11-04T10:51:00.005+11:00

Arriving at Flemmington for Crown Oaks day Thursday morning was the halfway mark for my time with Fruche Djing in the Birdcage. Fruche opened up their tent for one day to a group of lucky competition winners, all of whom had gone to amazing effort with their outfits and headpiece creations.....

Cup Day @ The Birdcage, Flemmington

2011-11-02T13:15:00.005+11:00

Melbourne Cup! The race that stops a nation. Dunaden brought it home and Niwot killed my betting ambitions by coming in 8th!

Another fab day in the Fruche tent. Miss J looked gorgeous in cuffed shorts and array of divine hats. Richard Nylon popped past in a stunning horse hair (i think!? sorry Richard) hat and matching vest. Meanwhile I got to rock that oh so fab vintage sequin vest from Oh Henry Vintage that i posted about earlier. Biggest compliment of the day came courtesy of Miss J : "is that vintage Versace?"

Woot woot!

2011-11-02T13:12:00.002+11:00

Derby Day @ The Birdcage....

2011-10-31T12:41:00.010+11:00

.....Huge fun to say the least! Great tunes, great people, a smattering of uber gorgeous celebs, tasty canapes and my partner in crime, Selekt by my side. Filmed a piece with the luscious ladies from Fashion Tv, met my two new fave people Clea and Nathan of Limedrop, tucked into some yummy Fruche and Miss J aka J Alexander was on hand to add a little sparkle to the festivities.

Only downside to the day was breaking my headphones mid Dj set but...the show still went on!Next up, Melbourne Cup on Tue!

#Scary Spice herself aka Mel B also stopped past the Fruche tent. To peep her rundown of Derby Day click HERE

We avoided Kuta and the tourist spots as much as possible instead preferring to spend our days based in Sanur and wandering through the rice fields and rural villages with our lovely driver Gonik. I can't remember the last time I had an actual holiday....

Returned to Australia even more in love with my Husband (if that's possible), grateful for all that I have and ready to gear it up a notch creatively.

Etsy is one of my favourite sites to gather creative inspiration....

A beautiful assortment of fabrics, trims, sequins and collage.......head over heels in LOVE with the "Cinderella's Revenge" spiked heel (pictured above)

A trip down memory lane.....

2011-08-27T19:14:00.003+10:00

I just devoted an afternoon to reading back through this blog......

Crazy!

So much has passed that I had forgotten about!
Family life totals to three......I have my beautiful Husband and our cute ball of mischief, Lou Lou....unfortunately our other kitten Mr Chow is no more......we lost him a week after receiving him as according to our vet he was much younger then his papers stated, not ready to leave his mother and was in severe ill health. Still miss him to this day but Lou Lou is a total bebe who keeps us on our toes!

The three of us are bopping around Australia and Asia pretty much until 2012....some gigs, some family time, some holiday.....the joys of being a creative with no fixed work location.

Lou Lou has decided to perch on my lap so that i can only type with one hand now.....

hence its time to end this post and go hang with my uber bebe!

F is for Fushia!

Sass & Bide......These ladies have PLENTY!

2011-08-19T09:38:00.007+10:00

Having met Hedi & Sarah Jane earlier this year I'm a little biased...... I've always been a fan of Sass & Bide but the fact that the duo behind the label also happen to be such warm, lovely ladies is why I was so happy to see the latest photographic campaign for their 11/12 eyewear release titled "King of Plenty" places the designers as models! Also featured are some of the Sass & Bide marketing and design team including the always gorgeous Pip Edwards.
As rad as the glasses themselves may be, I'd whip my credit card out in an instant if the headpieces ever went on sale!

To stock up on all things Sass & Bide visit www.sassandbide.com

6am wakeup call.......just because I'm so behind on my shit!

This is how the Hubby and I handle business. Dressing gowns, tea and laptops whilst Lou Lou our kitten runs around the place causing a rukkas as usual.

Had a couple of weeks break.........breathing space to indulge my love of all things vintage! Been out and about scouring the Perth metro for some finds! Will be selling a few vintage bits and bobs online. Stay posted!

Back into work mode soon though.

Sept 1st, I'll be Djing in Melbourne...Quick 2 day rest and then off to Bali!!!!

Also later next month, supporting Dj Funk here in Perth (exciting!!!) but more on that later. Huge love to all who still bother to read this.

Bye kids!

Rapper Tag #35 PEZ

2011-07-24T01:13:00.006+10:00

"it feels about the time to put the truth out, usually i stick with the illusion cause i'm too proud".......

For anyone who counts themselves as an Aust Hip Hop Head, Rapper Tag is a familiar term....
In addition to those previously mentioned, pretty much anyone who has flicked on Video Hits, caught the local lineup at any of last years festivals or flicked through east coast street press would know the name PEZ.

One of the "joys" of being married to a DMC champ is being woken up on your day off by your husband blaring hip hop and more specifically, Rapper Tag You Tube video's off his laptop in bed.....

I'd heard about Rapper Tag and never been particularly interested.....but truth be told, once I saw a couple of tags, had to keep watching more. There were some good (Suffa, Billy Bunks, Vents), some bad....and some plain ugly (sorry Odin, here's lookin at you).

But the stand out for me was Pez. Who else has the honesty to debunk the whole "i'm a rapper, i'm big pimpin" myth ("i"m 27 and I still got nothin")
.....The character to drop a little DMX humor and the heart and honesty to open up and share some insight into his daily dealings with Graves disease (Thyroid related illness......lifelong maintenance required. Never cured.....rough.)

But fuck the negative and the illness....i won't dwell cause i know he wouldn't either.

To break it down. Pez.......

Get educated on the kid.... He's on the up and up.

p.s did i mention he also slayed it on the rapper tag without some big budget, film/production ish? Props to him, Delta, Bias B, Lazy Grey and the others who chose to tag off the cuff, in the real, in the moment without some pre rehersed, pimped out, proffesional video crew shit.

Monday...

2011-07-19T02:28:00.002+10:00

Whatever.

Too tired.

Range Rover Evoque Melb Launch - Jen Hawkins x Mia Freedman x Sass & Bide

2011-07-03T12:25:00.019+10:00

Sunday morning. Tucked up with a cup of tea, The Husband and Lou Lou kitty back in Perth......looking through the photo's of our trip.

Wed 29th June, Thousand Pound Bend on Little Londsdale St, Melbourne was closed to the public after a team of carpenters, riggers and set designers transformed the space into a sleek, futuristic set for the launch of the Range Rover Evoque. Amongst the guest were 'City Shaper' ambassadors Sarah Jane Clark and Heidi Middleton of Sass and Bide, Mia Freedman, Peter Evans and Range Rover's newest spokesmodel, Jennifer Hawkins.I had the pleasure of opening the night performing alongside the very talented Miles of 'Miles and the Night Terrors' who wowed everyone with his Theremin performance (an instrument with two metal antennas which sense the position of the player's hands and control oscillators for frequency with one hand, and amplitude (volume) with the other, so it can be played without being touched). After which, Peter Evens stepped up to the mic for speeches before it was left to me to finish the party with a 3hr Dj set.

It was fun, it was fabulous, the champagne was flowing and everyone was gorgeous. Highlight of the evening was looking out at the crowd from the decks only to see the Sass & Bide girls waving and dancing. Met the lovely ladies later in the evening and ended the night wanting one of everything they were wearing. Jennifer Hawkins even more beautiful in real life, Mia stole the show in a FABULOUS gold sequin jacket and as for the Evoque itself.....wow! I want!!!!!

HUGE thankyou to Ren & the team and especially my gorgeous Husband and partner in crime.

Range Rover Ahoy!

Sunday Morning....

2011-03-20T13:36:00.032+11:00

Dear Blog,

I've neglected you........i'm sorry.

Hence, in no particular order i present.... "stuff that has happened.......and some other random shit"

(probably yet another moment to repeat "i can't believe people actually read this blog....thankyou whoever you are" love me or hate me, every hit keeps my lovely Ad Sense account topped up)

-I'm Married! (yes, i've told you before but i enjoy repeating it). Married life is lovely. -Its Sunday morning and i'm sober! No hangover! My liver and I have turned over a new leaf......

-I've lost Walter!!!! (he was the frog i found down south)........

-Aaron and I got domestic and bought our first batch of plants for our home. We named them Mildred, Algenon and Walter (in loving memory of the above mentioned)

-Harrold is still with us but laying low......

-Is it just me or has Facebook lost its appeal ever since they changed event invites to be notifications?........Hence I have done the unspeakable and embraced Twitter.

Wanna tweet me?........ head to www.twitter.com/katejean

-Speaking of Twitter, I've started my own "Trend"......#Stalking Saturdays. Do it....you know you want to.

-In a moment of boredom I started reading a few "Fashion Blogs"............

Aaron had his own ideas about them....

-Personally i'm loving http://www.fashionhayley.com/ my favourite quote of hers was a caption on one of her photo's "this is a pic of a guy who always talks to me and my ex best friend Tony" ...probably funnier because I remeber dirty nights out at the old St Jeromes with him lurking around

-This week Aaron gave me the log in to his Ebay and let me loose with the credit card. I won alot (which kinda means he lost alot.........welcome to Married life hunny!).

I won this..... and this....

along with this......
and if i keep posting everything this blog entry will never end.

I didn't win this......nor did i want to.

I just loved it because the "model" was so hilarious!

-All i want right now is Pork Dim Sum with Chilli oil.......*sigh*

-Must Winebar has become our new local hang out........Theo and the boys are gorgeous and the champagne lounge is a must! If you're in Mt Lawley you should go visit.

-One of my favourite ladies has moved to Melbourne. Allex we miss you!!!!!!! Allex is a model and artist. Her work inspires me to stop being lazy and pick up my paints. See her work in its entirety HERE.

-Hit a winery this week with a few oh so fab Makeup Artists......... FOOD PORN AHOY

-Ooooh! "The Love Boat" is on tv.....ahh the joys of crap viewing on a Sunday morning. I'm going back to my date with the couch and a cup of tea.

Til next time kids

Hobbies.

2011-03-01T19:33:00.003+11:00

For awhile I've been pondering crochet.

I spent $40 at Borders on a "How To" book on the subject.

Then went to Spotlight and spent another $20 or so buying equipment.

I got home, opened the book, had a go.......failed. Had another go....failed again.

Then i stopped and realized i would never make any money off crochet even if i mastered it.

Hence i've come to a conclusion.....

Hobbies are cute but if you aren't making any cash off them.....why bother?

And further more.....if you're hobby is in an industry for the potential to earn cash and you still aren't, maybe its time to question if you really are as talented as you think you are in the first place.

so farewell crochet!

I've learnt my lesson.

Am sticking to the Dj booth

Seriously......you people read this?

Gucci Mane.....ice cream face tattoo's?

2011-01-14T11:02:00.005+11:00

......obviously his recent stint in a mental health facility was a little too short.

The net has been flooded with stories about rapper, Gucci Mane's recent tattoo of an ice cream cone with the word "brr" tagged across it.

His reasoning behind the new ink?: "a reminder to fans of how i choose to live my life. Cool as ice. As in 'I'm so icy, I'll make ya say Brr.'"

What a Douche......but i still love the crackhead

Mr Nasty Nick LePar!!! An Original!!

2011-01-12T07:19:00.006+11:00

Prior to Christmas I was reading Nick LePar's blog and stumbled upon this entry where he was attempting to draw something as a housewarming gift for a mate.

He apparently hated his first attempt....
I saw it and loved it...
I told him as much.....

One man's trash is another woman's treasure...
and now look what i scored for Christmas!
Thankyou Nick!!! He is currently hanging in my studio down south and has pride of place on my inspiration wall!

Frustration.....

2010-12-26T23:49:00.003+11:00

......i left my pattern making ruler in Perth.
The shops are all shut for Christmas and i'm not even sure if they've heard of such things down here.
This Frustrates me.

.....i left my fantastic dressmakers dummy in Melbourne and am trying hard, yet failing to toille on my Gay Husbands adjustable one.
This Frustrates me. (Hubby if you're reading this, as soon as I get back to Perth we are buying a new one)

....i left my Boyfriend in Perth.
I miss him.
This Frustrates me.

But.....i'm back to Perth on the 30th. Can pick up everything i need, quick catch up with Bf and hopefully do some textile work with Hubby

So.....

The moral of this story is......patience is a virtue....

One i am yet to acquire i guess.

Hope everyone had a rad Christmas. Being out of sync with days of the week i awoke thinking it was Christmas Eve only to be informed by my mother that no, it was in fact the big man in the sky's B'day.......which explained why my Bf had been a bit sentimental on chat and i'd had no idea what he was going on about.
To be honest I was actually disappointed when she told me because it meant i couldn't walk to the shop and buy more acrylic paint.....

Again....it was Frustrating

Could the silly season move on and let me get organised to do some work please?

Ta xx

Featuring NFa, Kitpop, MT-5000, Benni Chill, Scott Sour and Dj Selekt entry is only $10 at the door and includes an exclusive mixtape selected and mixed by MT-5000 and Scott Sour.

9pm til Late - An evening of luxe, leisure, loose tunes and luscious laydees.

Be there x

"No Sleep til Bunbury"

2010-12-24T10:25:00.009+11:00

A couple of days ago, boyfriend and i hit the road for an adventure to my hometown Bunbury. Beach walks, my Mum's home cooking, Scotch and Dry Can's in the car park of Bunbury Forum and bog laps through the man drag scaring the locals with Lil Wayne blaring.

There was seafood! There was dodgy Christmas crackers! There was verbal altercations with drunk Aboriginals in the street! There was wine! but most of all there was plenty of good times and laughter.....couldn't ask for anything better then that for Christmas

We returned to Perth on Wed to switch it up with a bit of fine dinning......11 course Degestation menu......served over 3hrs........be warned it will do serious damage to your waistline and your wallet but epic all the same!Thurs Bf and i cruised back down to Bunbury.......( you've got to dig a gentleman who insists his lady travels in style and not with the masses on public transport)

Thurs afternoon Bf said goodbye and headed back to Perth and here i am Friday morning sipping my first cup of tea before getting up to set my studio space up. I'll be down south til NYE for some sobriety, sun, good food, healthy living and to tear into some designing and sewing.

The party month is pretty much over for me.

Time to WORK! and truth be told......i can't wait

Morning Kids xx
