Applecross trees bear strange fruit,
vinyl on the leaves and pvc at the root,
plastic bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the Jacaranda trees.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.
By Nicko. Canning Highway Applecross.

Good to see all of the Tsvetnenkos’ mates defending these paragons of good taste in the comments on the PN story. Are they deluded enough to think sane people are jealous of their tacky z-lister status? Clearly so:
“Obviously all you jealous, bitter losers that sit on this forum and post these negative comments have no life and would never have the chance to go to such a lavish event cause firstly you would have no friends who would invite you and secondly you would be to poor to buy a decent present. You would rather read bad news than congratulate someone’s succeses. You are very basic human beings. lydia you are the classy Paris of perth and anyone that says anything different cant look in the mirror them selves cause they are dog ugly. Thanks for the invite guys, we had a great night and cant wait to read about the next one in the paper….”

I don’t usually get innvolved in this side of Worst’s activities but some of you cunts need to back the fuck off from the Tachenkos’ case. For a start it’s totally impossible to make that much money on some dotcom rubblish. He must be leveraged to the eyeballs. Where did the money for that come from? Did you ever wash five bucks in your trousers? Five hundred million? Why is his house in Canning Vale? (indeed, why does he have parties in Freo jail?) Because it’s not too far for the missus to visit, that’s why. He’s a gentleman and that will always go down with a Perth judge very well.

and in the most shameless piece of product placement and casual-wear-for-comment seen for some time, our favourite ligger Shallow Spice has asked her readership to offer their opinion on a series of outfits she has been wearing during Fashion Week.
all week our intrepid freeloader has been attending parties wearing clothes given her by local seamstresses and frock shops, and has been plugging their brands in return.
rather bravely, she has asked people to comment on her outfits on her blog. Feel free to join in the baiting, although very little seems to get past her moderator:

Look, Applecross has always been a sort of gate to western civilisation suburb, the front line (at Canning Bridge, Perth’s checkpoint charlie) facing the down at heel south and the east. That role has never been easy for Applecrossians, the shy Mt Pleasants and the reason why the small nation of Heathcote is tucked away there just out of small arms’ range from drive bys on the Kwinana fwy. In this case, I would say given the muscular and fit form of the hanged piece of well sub-semiotic analysis quite frankly, somebody has thrown in the towel in terms of the 5x week gym visits, endless pilates, stretching classes, weekend lower bowel irrigation retreats etc etc needed to present oneself as modern and progressive and not some fucking beer-gutted hoon from Wilson. Obviously some therapy is in order here and I note the state member for a related area was/is a member of the SAS or SS or something, so that’s probably underway now.
