LazySUNDAY hearts LillianROxOn

If you haven't seen it already, check out the recent documentary on Australian ‘Mother of Rock’ Journo Lillian Roxon. LOVE it, ROCK it.

Lillian Roxon was a journalist living in the US in the mid-1960s and was fascinated by popular music and the rise of groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Through her writings and her interest in pop, she became one of the leading lights of the social and musical scene that centred on the fabled New York music club Max’s Kansas City, which was frequented by members of the Andy Warhol circle, Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground, Jim Morrison and many others.  Her articles about the burgeoning rock scene are now credited as being foundation stones of serious rock writing, and she has since been described by other leading critics as "the mother of rock".  She also published the book Lillian Roxon's Rock Encyclopaedia in 1969.

HappyWEEKEND love from lazySUNDAY

Oh yay for long weekends!  We have a three day long weekend and I can't wait.  Tonight I am heading to a girlfriends for cocktails and catch up with the clan...maybe even a dance at the local, also heading to the Brighton car boot sale with the girls (all of us searching for that sweet vintage furniture find!), and finally Sunday night catch up with friends I have not seen for a very long time.  Add to that a nice little sleep in and some sunshine and you have yourself a sweetRIDE.  Whatever you are up to this weekend enjoy x

oh eames how we ADORE

So I have finally found a place to lay my hat...well hats.  In three weeks time I move in to my own little home. All my things are finally going to be in one place where they will be sharing space and making new friends. 

One thing that needs to be fixed...a severe lack of lounge furniture. No sofa to snuggle up on, no coffee table to place random pieces from my travels...no big comfy chair to sit back in and read those books you never get around to.  Nothing.  Which I guess is kind of a positive in a way as it will give me one big old room to put all my boxes in while I unpack. 

So step one...the big old comfy chair for book reading.  I decided not to place a television in my lounge and just keep it for music (just scored a vintage record player in the old hard rubbish collection, photos soon), for reading, and games.  Just a lovely room for entertaining with no 'crap tv' to interrupt the flow.  Okay back to the comfy chair, my choice of course the good old Eames lounge that everyone wants or has.  Not too original I know, but who cares when it's this PRETTY.

Meet my new friend 'GOODIE'

It started as just another sweet morning walk through the city on my way to work...until some lovely person handed me a free plant for my desk.  YAY!  So everyone, meet GOODIE, GOODIE meet everyone.  My new friend has settled in well to his environment, chatting to passers by while feeding me free oxygen.   Aahh bless his cotton socks.
