Crouching Shopper, Hidden Melons

An anonymous contributor sent this artist impression of the Claremont Quarter Food Markets which will open soon. I like the floating people. Have the people behind the Kookai floater crapped themselves? What’s with the dude with the weirdly bulging forehead? Is this what old money’s all about? You can click the first shot for the full scene. There are other treasures you may wish to point out. Several others.

    How about the guy staring into the concrete pillar on the right, the floating sausages on the left, and they guy with his arm lodged in the small child on the far left? I also like the woman in the center of the shot who looks like she’s in a wind tunnel.

    Jebus, I wish I’d taken some shots in the Claremont Quarter ‘snow dome’ but I was too severely hungover for even a soft focus result.

    Three minutes in a plastic bowl filled with cotton wool and inflated mini goon bags… yay.

  4. And the reverse soup? And is that Carmen Lawrence with her undies falling down on the far right?

    Is it just me, or does Claremont Quarter’s new food market look suspiciously like the fruit and vegi section of Woolies? Are we meant to be impressed?

    Apart from the clients being a bit above the general level of the rest of the population (which you might expect for an enclave of such elevated social status), there seem to be a number of the packaged products with reversed labeling.

    Are you sure that the project is actually going ahead?
    It all seems to be a bit up in the air. (Boom! Boom!)

    I don’t know where they got the images from but none of those people live in Claremont. Look at them. Bunch of bogans, dags and slobs. It’s all Big W, Susans and Jeans West. No Prada in sight. I’m thinking Gossie pics, merged into Claremont ad. Outrage!

    I’ve been that excited before, but I made sure I wore my wetsuit before going to the veggie mart.

    the chicken soup packets on the left in the second image have been printed back to front. Surely the veggie mart quality control should avoid purchasing bad packaging.

    Obviously the work of one of Perth’s leading futurers. In this “work” he boldly evisions a future in which people from the planet Zarg91 live peacefully with Claremontians, tolerating them because of the Zarg91 floor gliding technology they have supplied. This “work” is radical since Claremontians can barely tolerate their own species’ lower orders , nor can they tolerate head genitalia since they have none.

    there is a Eurasian woman pictured, with a Loius Vuitton bag, so that covers your basic Claremont aspirational ethnic demographic.

      The extra pigment on the skin is particularly helpful in assisting police to identify Claremont ‘outsiders’, so they can exercise their new detain/search and harrass laws.
