For the last three years, the end of August has meant one thing for the fashion world in Queensland - the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival. Year after year, the festival has grown until it has become Queensland’s premier annual fashion event, also attracting attention at the national level for its Spring/Summer collection launches. And all the [...]
Back when I first moved to Brisbane, just over a year ago now, I was staying in a backpacker hostel while waiting for my apartment to be ready, which meant eating out almost every night of the week. A couple of times, I tried out The Elephant & Wheelbarrow, but was never really impressed - [...]
Having signed up as a member on the “Sneaky Peek” section of the Love and Rockets website, I was lucky enough to receive an invitation in my inbox to the Love and Rockets VIP Party this past week. This was doubly exciting for me, as I’ve just moved into the Valley and Love and Rockets [...]
Although it could be said that the Gold Coast is a little out of the jurisdiction for a Brisbane-based site, when I get invited to an event like the national finals for the ZOO Weekly Australian Swimsuit Calendar, I’m more than happy to let our jurisdictional boundaries expand for a night.

By some strange coincidence, the first time I went to Sunbar in Fortitude Valley was also the last night that Sunbar was open. Because he was losing his job the next day and because I had two cute backpackers on my arm, we were plied with shots and a good time was had by all. [...]

It was Thursday afternoon, I was feeling a bit exhausted from work and I knew there wasn’t a scrap of food in the house. Then, as sometimes happens to me, I get a call from a friend and the first words out of his mouth are “I feel like steak. You in?”. Well, of course [...]
It’s been a hectic two weeks at work for me, as I’ve been working evenings and weekends to get a project finished. So on Wednesday this week, after only 2-3 hours of sleep the night before, as I stared vacantly at the wall behind my computer monitor, my co-workers looked at me and decided they [...]
Following a great night at Love and Rockets checking out the club for the last review, we were invited back to the club for a VIP party to celebrate the anniversary of the first walk in space, which was taken on March 18, 1965 by Russian Cosmonaut, Aleksei Leonov. Although this fits in with the [...]
At 10pm on a Monday evening in the Brisbane CBD, there’s not too many places serving food and so we found ourselves in quite the predicament when catching up with a friend from out of town late one Monday evening. Fortunately, we knew there was somewhere we could go 24 hours a day that was [...]
