Done your hammy

Posted on January 24, 2008 by AHC McDonald

I will get back to Nettie’s visit to Mundaring Sculpture Park very soon, as it seemed that the first post wasn’t worst enough for youse all, (!) and there is another piece she sent that I’m sure would be worthy. … Continue reading →

Tourist Trapped

Posted on January 23, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Nettie spent some time at the Mundaring Sculpture Park, and I’m glad she did. Several great subjects for TWOP, which I will show in separate posts. She says that there used to be more items, but vandals (critics?) have taken … Continue reading →

House of the Lesbian Mermaid

Posted on January 22, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Now this house would make a great TWOP headquarters. I’ve taken so many photos lately, I can’t remember exactly where this is. Joondanna, maybe. It probably shouldn’t be in The Worst of Perth, as it really is rather splendid, even … Continue reading →

The Mud Men of Mt Lawley

Posted on January 21, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Ginger Eros Hair

Posted on January 19, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Gilding The Willy

Posted on January 18, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Haven’t had a car up for a while. Here are two. One decorated professionally and badly. One amateurishly and badly. The fact that someone paid good money for that blade design, gives the points to the amateur. Pig Drifter wins … Continue reading →

Raunchy Skumpys ‘Ling Style

Posted on January 17, 2008 by AHC McDonald

The other day, Rottobloggos David Cohen was arguing that The ‘Ling (Stirling Arms) on James street Guildford was far more worthy than the Rangeview for TWOP. I quote “The bouncers stand outside and throw people in. The squat building is … Continue reading →

End of the road for Travelling Wilburys

Posted on January 16, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Can this be the tipping point of the city’s culture? The moment when a Perth music fan said, “Enough! I’m as crap as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!” Casting their Travelling Wilburys Volume 1&2 with bonus … Continue reading →
