bring on the white elephant

it’s that time again…this is me with my very jubilant older siblings. i suspect they are hopped up on lollipops and 50c mixtures. anyhoo, i went and checked out the dowse in lower hutt today—saw some decadent and whimsical hats by philip treacy and some boring german fashion photos (i realised that bad 80’s western fashion taste infiltrated every corner of the world). i also got to see julia deville’s taxidermy jewellery (the kitten rug was repulsive, but it was my favourite—it had a wee pearl in its mouth). AND it’s gala season again—hurrah!! houghton bay school gala is on tomorrow. i’m hoping they have a good white elephant...
