A Day Out At the Gallery - Taxidermy Exhibit

On Wednesday I had a lovely day out, most of which was spent at the local gallery here visiting the latest exhibit on display featuring a large variety of preserved exotic animals. I do believe that the placement and juxtaposition of many of the animals was meant as a commentary on humanity's constant grapple with it's futile attempts to control the natural order of things. Whatever the meaning behind it, it was certainly confronting and I must say the fighting urge to touch everything was extremely difficult.

Here's a few pics I quickly ran around and snapped before we left;

 

 I think it's one of the best exhibits we've had here, not that we get many. Hope you enjoyed the little peek of it!

Oh and here's the obligatory outfit I wore:

 New ring; thanks Kelly ^_^

That's all for tonight!

Quintessentially Gothic

So last week my friends and I paid a little visit to the opening of a new photography exhibition in Orange, named Quintessentially Orange. The reason being that it was featuring photographers from Orange and seeing as one of my longstanding best friends, Gracie is a photo journalist for a local paper, she too was to have her work displayed. In fact, one of her pictures was of me!

This photo was on display at the Orange Regional Art gallery as well as on the front cover of the paper Gracie works for, Photonews.

Anyway, Grace suggested I dress up for the event, so...I did :) I would have posted my outfit earlier but I was waiting for some photos to be uploaded to facebook taken by one of the photographers present on the night; Rodney Shrimpton.



These three were taken by Rodney on the night.Rosemary and I

So my outfit for the event consisted of:

TUK Green Gunstripe Pumps from Redpath in Canberra: $130

Black damask Underbust Victorian Corset from Gallery Serpentine: $200

Gothic Lolita Jacket Dress from FanPlusFriend: $135

Black satin jabot from FanPlusFriend: $10

Silver pocket watch from Diva: $30

Black satin bow from Diva: $10

Green and Black leather headband (sorry I don't know where it's from or how much it cost, as I got it for Christmas.)

I'd post more pictures, but for some reason every one of my photo-related accounts won't let me upload photos.

Over and out.
