You had some dinner to eat, now you got a good seat
See, there’s nothing wrong with being inner-city elite
Its funny because a common criticism of Australian Labor Party, Democrat, Green and other left wing politicians made by those on the right is that they are members of any ‘inner city elite’ – which by extension consists of chardonay-swilling over-educated snobs who are out of touch with ‘the real Australia’. (A look at the actual electoral results of almost any Australian election will disprove this).
But what I find interesting is that a lot of my circle are probably a bit over-educated, we're all a bit out of touch and we all vote along the lines of the stereotype. I was thinking of maybe playing that element up and making a bit of a joke of it in my next photoset for SG (Yes, you guys, I'm shooting a set very very soon!).
The only issue is... I reckon almost no one will get it because Keating is probably a pretty obscure musical... unless you're a political addict and an Aussie. So I guess I can't go too far with it. But that said, the idea of being all dressed up in a formal location and feeling uncomfortable is very very universal. And that's how I feel sometimes when I have to dress up as "inner-city elite". I can do it... but I'd rather be in jeans and a nice singlet top. Or even track pants. Or naked! (See how I could work this idea into a photoset? Haha).
Another part of me feels a bit guilty about shooting a set because my cousin still hasn't got back to me about doing my backseam tattoos at her studio and now that my nipple piercings are gone... I don't want to be one of THOSE modless girls. Ack! It was completely unintentional I swear! Hopefully some bright colours in my hair, my ears and my surgery scars will be enough for me not to look too 'playboy-not-SG'.
This is a bit of a ramble. I'm just posting straight from the heart.
Here, have a picture:
Me with my morning incense... Yummy

Great idea for a set! Perhaps you could work 'unrepresentative swill' in there somehow...?

I think you should include a link to the Wikipedia article about it to educate us non-Aussie types (in the set description). :-D If there's no article, you should write it! You can't really have enough Aussie and I'm sure Wikipedia needs more Aussie, so it would be a patriotic thing.
Can't wait to see your next set!
How's school going or are you taking a break from scrambling your brains?

I think the Keating thing might be hard to do, but if the shots are good (which they will be of course) then so what, you'll know what it means
I think sg is a state of mind, don't worry about the mod thing because anyone that cares knows you're sg. And I don't think a shoot with maddame would ever look playboy by accident.
