Slow
start this morning 8am. Rang Steve – he has only found one other bit of gold
and it was windy and raining there yesterday. He will move to Creswick Regional
Park near Ballarat so I can catch the train to Ballarat instead. He had a good
time at Paddy’s Ranges near Maryborough even though he only found 2 more little
bits of gold. Met some characters. One chap gave him spots to check out where
he had found gold but he must have got it all!! Paddy’s Ranges was like Notley’s
and had lots of tracks going everywhere. Caught a tram to St Kilda. Past some
iconic buildings, will have to go back to Luna Park.
Wandered
along Acland Street, so many bakeries to choose our morning tea from. So we all shared to have a taste of each!!
Lots
of dress and shoe shops too and a few with different items for sale, like this
lampshade for a bloke.
Interesting
art in this area.
Wendy
loved this rubbish bin.
More
crazy art on the building.
The
girls find another shop.
Walked
back down the street to Luna Park, unfortunately it was closed. Wendy wanted to
ride the Carousel.
They
have “Public Conveniences” here, sounds better than Toilets.
Down
to St Kilda Beach – though the wind is howling and freezing.
Looking
back to where the cruise ships are past the St Kilda Yacht Club
Maybe
Steve should have been detecting here.
Good
wind for parachuting.
And
kite surfing.
Sandra
used to come here with her mum – many happy memories.
Have
to find what OD signs stand for – saw them in Bendigo OD15 and OD16.
Walked
down Fitzroy Street but none of the restaurants etc were open.
Back
on the tram and went back to Southbank for something to eat. Good maps on
board.
Went
upstairs above the food court and found a heap more shops with fancy lights!!!
Down
to the Arts Centre with its waterfall entrance.
Gold
carousel in the middle.
Into
the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition – it was fantastic.
This
guy was so cheeky – it was like they could hear us.
Jean
Paul talked in French and English so I did a lot of videoing as well as the
hundreds of pictures. Got a USB to put all our trip on for the girls to take
home.
They
had videos of the Paris Couture catwalks.
There
were 8 rooms each with a different theme. He did a lot with Madonna on her
Blonde Ambition World Tour – created a few outfits for her. Also Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman.
One
room was lingerie then there was the catwalk area where you sat like you are in
Paris and the models come by and the Punk section was out there but
interesting.
This
was a complete stocking outfit.
Then
there was the red light section. One interesting pussycat one that Wendy liked!! - had an interesting tail!!
Some
of his sketches.
There
were nice warm outfits.
Lots
of feathers
Indian
wedding dress
A
crocodile or two.
Poor
leopard
Mum
could crotchet me this one!!
The
white one is just plain weird, there were a lot of weird ones but interesting.
Interesting
wedding outfit.
Nicole
Kidman wore this one in 2004.
This
one was the main one used for the promos, hence I thought it was going to be a
bit far out – it is but also amazing. Kylie Minogue wore this in the X Tour
2008 video backdrop.
Some
are quite nice – Cate Blanchett wore this at the 2005 Annual Golden Globe
Awards.
Some
outfits have been used in movies – they had the scenes playing on the TV.
The
bodice is made of film and the skirt is printed like film.
Me
rubbing shoulders with Jean Paul.
Then
you could go into the merchandise and spend a fortune – A t-shirt was $195!!!
Back
down to Southbank and watched a coach instruct his rowing crew.
Change
of clothes and across the road to the Langham for our last dinner and drinks
together. Cathy and Bev had gone to the Theatre to see Le Mes. Will miss my
good friend Wendy, has been great fun.
Interesting
flowers.
Will
miss the girls – it has been a great week.
