Lola does Norman

Stripping in the name Norman Lindsey ...

I was wittness to a beautiful sight last night as a dose of 'sugar' paid tribute to the orientalism in Norman Lindsey's art oeuvre. The inner city watched on and the room was made electric and the name of a famed Blue Mountains artist and resident lived on in contemporary Australian culture well into the night ! A visual dazzle to watch. 'Lola' has entrancing eyes in performance. Her presence is assured. A Tivoli should rise anew, but this time in the mountians. The risque would be a welcome curative to turgid cottaginess and bland suburban creep. It is not enough to ask for tourist dollars for Normans exploits. This lass is living the moment, we need a dose of this regularly in the hills !

Escarpment Flutters

Blackheath Beauty...& prayer flags in the mountains.

Blackheath is the treasure where Prayer-Flags are flown on more verandahs per head of population than anywhere else...this is a lovely tradition of grace. But the whole mountains are garnished with these flocks of wishes and mantras, I have personally seen them as high as the south side of Mt Vic. With joy they bless the mountain environs. Long may they fly on the verandahs ! Long may they remind us of those who live in less happy places...
