(PD)

Historian D'Ann Campbell argues that the purpose of the wartime posters, propaganda, and censorship of soldiers' letters was not to foil spies but "to clamp as tight a lid as possible on rumors that might lead to discouragement, frustration, strikes, or anything that would cut back military production." - src

2005: Stevie Eye Wonder

“Designed To Make You Hotto!”

I was somewhat awestruck by the original Stevie store in Greville Street that opened in 2003!

[ 2007 | source ]

I bought a T-shirt there in early 2005 from Lauren Heaven (now Lola Berry) who was working there. After I left the store, I went into another store to find out what was playing.

Phoenix - Too Young (Official Video)

Anyhow, the t-shirt I bought was a bit small for me and not really my vibe – but it was alright. I didn’t really want to buy the shirt, but Lauren’s charm tipped the scales. She also suggested I roll-up the sleeves of an under t-shirt.

[ src | 2 ]

Lauren was also going to introduce me to the designer Lyndon McGauchie for me to help with their website but in the end I never met him. I also never made it to any of their parties either, although I did see her again by chance at Boutique nightclub some days later – also on Greville Street!

[ 1 | 2 ]

In Boutique, I also saw Charlie Goldsmith there with his pal, and Lauren who was a few metres away would have met him around that time.

Interestingly, when he looked at me with his now well-known “healing gaze” I wanted to totally leave the club and maybe even Melbourne. And that’s what I did.

I knew two of Charlie’s siblings at that point Brett (Goofyfoot from GrooveTip) and Briony from school, but not Charlie.

So soon after that night I was interstate and then out of the country and had found other parties.

And I did practice drums in the shirt and those sleeves would’ve ended up unrolling anyway.

But Stevie wouldn’t have seen!

2005: Up Periscope!

(updated: 11 June 2023)

In March 2005, I drove north after dropping out of Monash Law.

But, I did go on First Year Law Camp. Some photos in that archive are missing, but I do remember some of the people.

There’s no pic of me here, but I do know the names, and if it’s important I can say that the girl below won ‘Miss Congeniality’ on camp and I did speak to her for a few minutes.

Being at left, I hope there’s a marshmellow left.

Musician Sophia started law also and I spoke to her briefly at the time on campus, but seemed to have rejected it like myself for more left-brain activities.


A few weeks later I found myself in Israel (story here) after a brief stop on a submarine.

Down periscope!
