I’ve been getting a little introspective recently. I’ve been looking at my life in an attempt to decide how many social connections I have and how strong they are.
What follows is a true story. About 20 years ago, I was asked to pose naked by the fashion photographer Rankin.
You’ve probably heard the story: a well-known retailer stuck a poorly-worded label in some of its school uniform. The label suggested the reinforced hems in its clothing would stay in place making “less work for mum” who wouldn’t have to sew them up again.
During my recent trip to Melbourne, I was invited along to a new attraction in the city: The Pauline Gandel Children’s Gallery. It’s a part of the long-established Melbourne Museum and is designed to appeal to children aged from birth until five years of age.
Something strange has happened to me. One of those letters has just come home from school and I found myself thinking: “This could be fun.”
