If you’re going Mafia, do you also go sequins? What next, “I heart Paedos” written in flowers? You can see a reflection of Liberty Cinema on Barrack Street in this shot, which I think used to be The Kimberley, where I saw the Chinese film Demon Wet Nurse. For some reason that link had a popup saying “one of your Perth buddies has a crush on you”. Cookster, is it you? It’s you right? Don’t get the 4skin oil out too quick buddy. You can look but you can’t touch. Seriously, you can’t touch. I’m not joking.

One of James Ellroy’s novels – I think the Black Dahlia – starts with the riots (but then jumps forward to 50s LA). Happy times!
I am too young to know, but were zoot suits big here? If they were, were they fashionable 15 years after their popularity somewhere else?
