Part of Azzedine Alaïa: The Couturier
(May to October 2018)
Azzedine Alaïa’s innovations in stretch fabrics were at least as important as his elevation of leather. In his hands, these transformed the silhouette of the wearer.
Rather than creating clothes anchored at strategic points – conventionally, the waist and the shoulders – Alaïa’s bandage dresses cling to the wearer’s form, conscious of the entire body. The stretch fabric allows these minimal silhouettes to move freely.
Debuted in 1986, these variations on the ‘Bandelette’ (bandage) dress are clearly inspired by ancient Egyptian mummification, but also perhaps by the swaddling of infants. The garments join Western and Eastern traditions – highly fitted and precision-cut, with a body simply and sensually wrapped in cloth.
The dresses seem simple, but each band of fabric is precisely engineered and cut to specific dimensions, according to its place on the figure. These creations ushered in the notion of physique-delineating ‘bodycon’ dressing, the defining aesthetic of the early 1990s.
Conceived and co-curated with Monsieur Alaïa before his death in November 2017, the exhibition charts his incredible journey from sculptor to couturier, his nonconformist nature and his infectious energy for fashion, friendship and the female body.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Alaïa personally constructed each garment by hand and refused to bow to the pressures of fashion week deadlines, instead working to his own schedule. His collaborative approach earned him an esteemed client list, including Greta Garbo, Grace Jones, Michelle Obama and Rihanna.
Rather than a retrospective, the show interlaces stories of his life and career alongside personally selected garments, ranging from the rare to the iconic and spanning the early 1980s to his most recent collection in 2017.

All the light fixtures in the hotel used to have backup gas lights in case the electricity went out. (And these are the guys who built a power plant for the hotel that made so much extra electricity, they gave the entire town of Estes Park free power.)
On opening night, the electric power went out, so they sent the Head Chambermaid to Room 217 (the Presidential Suite) to light the gas lamps.
Unfortunately, someone forgot to turn off the gas after testing them. When she lifted the candle to light the lamps, Room 217 and several floors directly above blew sky-high. Ms. Wilson (the chambermaid) was blown down into the room below and survived.
According to Stanley legend, she worked at the hotel for the rest of her natural life until she died in the 1950s.
She only took two days off before returning to work.

"Old Market Building, also known as The Rice Museum, is a historic public market building located at Georgetown, Georgetown County, South Carolina. It was built in 1832–1835, and is a one-story, Classical Revival temple-form building on a high arcaded base.
The arched area was used as an open-air market but was enclosed in the early-20th century. A tower topped by a square stage and an open belfry was added. The tower houses a four-sided clock that was added in about 1842. The building has served as a town hall, a jail, an open-air market, and a slave market.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
Georgetown is the third oldest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina and the county seat of Georgetown County, in the Lowcountry. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 9,163. Located on Winyah Bay at the confluence of the Black, Great Pee Dee, Waccamaw, and Sampit rivers, Georgetown is the second largest seaport in South Carolina, handling over 960,000 tons of materials a year, while Charleston is the largest.
Beginning in the colonial era, Georgetown was the commercial center of an indigo- and rice-producing area. Rice replaced indigo as the chief commodity crop in the antebellum area. Later the timber industry became important here." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.

The Alhambra (/ælˈhæmbrə/; Spanish: [aˈlambɾa]; Arabic: الْحَمْرَاء [ʔælħæmˈɾˠɑːʔ], Al-Ḥamrā, lit. "The Red One"),[Note 1][Note 2] the complete Arabic form of which was Qalat Al-Hamra,[Note 3] is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Arab emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls. It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.[1] After the conclusion of the Christian Reconquista in 1492, the site became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella (where Christopher Columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered in the Renaissance style. In 1526 Charles I & V commissioned a new Renaissance palace better befitting the Holy Roman Emperor in the revolutionary Mannerist style influenced by Humanist philosophy in direct juxtaposition with the Nasrid Andalusian architecture, but which was ultimately never completed due to Morisco rebellions in Granada.
Alhambra's late flowering of Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim emirs in Spain during the decline of the Nasrid dynasty who were increasingly subject to the Christian Kings of Castile. After being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, the buildings occupied by squatters, Alhambra was rediscovered following the defeat of Napoleon, who had conducted retaliatory destruction of the site. The rediscoverers were first British intellectuals and then other north European Romantic travelers. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions, exhibiting the country's most significant and well-known Islamic architecture, together with 16th-century and later Christian building and garden interventions. The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the inspiration for many songs and stories.[2]
Moorish poets described it as "a pearl set in emeralds," an allusion to the colour of its buildings and the woods around them.[3] The palace complex was designed with the mountainous site in mind and many forms of technology were considered. The park (Alameda de la Alhambra), which is overgrown with wildflowers and grass in the spring, was planted by the Moors with roses, oranges, and myrtles; its most characteristic feature, however, is the dense wood of English elms brought by the Duke of Wellington in 1812. The park has a multitude of nightingales and is usually filled with the sound of running water from several fountains and cascades. These are supplied through a conduit 8 km (5.0 mi) long, which is connected with the Darro at the monastery of Jesus del Valle above Granada.[4]
Despite long neglect, willful vandalism, and some ill-judged restoration, the Alhambra endures as an atypical example of Muslim art in its final European stages, relatively uninfluenced by the direct Byzantine influences found in the Mezquita of Córdoba. The majority of the palace buildings are quadrangular in plan, with all the rooms opening on to a central court, and the whole reached its present size simply by the gradual addition of new quadrangles, designed on the same principle, though varying in dimensions, and connected with each other by smaller rooms and passages. Alhambra was extended by the different Muslim rulers who lived in the complex. However, each new section that was added followed the consistent theme of "paradise on earth". Column arcades, fountains with running water, and reflecting pools were used to add to the aesthetic and functional complexity. In every case, the exterior was left plain and austere. Sun and wind were freely admitted. Blue, red, and a golden yellow, all somewhat faded through lapse of time and exposure, are the colors chiefly employed.[4]
The decoration consists for the upper part of the walls, as a rule, of Arabic inscriptions—mostly poems by Ibn Zamrak and others praising the palace—that are manipulated into geometrical patterns with vegetal background set onto an arabesque setting ("Ataurique"). Much of this ornament is carved stucco (plaster) rather than stone. Tile mosaics ("alicatado"), with complicated mathematical patterns ("tracería", most precisely "lacería"), are largely used as panelling for the lower part. Similar designs are displayed on wooden ceilings (Alfarje).[4] Muqarnas are the main elements for vaulting with stucco, and some of the most accomplished dome examples of this kind are in the Court of the Lions halls. The palace complex is designed in the Nasrid style, the last blooming of Islamic Art in the Iberian Peninsula, that had a great influence on the Maghreb to the present day, and on contemporary Mudejar Art, which is characteristic of western elements reinterpreted into Islamic forms and widely popular during the Reconquista in Spain. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra

*ROCA Digest – Autumn 2019
However, during two recent oral history recordings, one with the Hon Dr Bruce Eastick AM (RDA 1947) and the other with Brian Condon OAM (RDA 1946), they both talked about the Saturday night dances held every month, an important event on the social calendar for male students at the time. Back to the beginning: In 1929, the local Girl Guides needed a hall, so a committee was formed. The College Principal at the time, Walter Birks, chaired the first committee. A loan was secured from the State Bank for a hall to be constructed on land (about ½ hectare) purchased from Bill Fairley for £25. The hall cost £270, built by Sidney Halford Pimlott, completed in 1931. However, the Girl Guides and Scouts got into financial difficulties and could not service the loan.
A group of locals came forward and took over the Hall that was then used for indoor bowls, table tennis, dances, wedding receptions, meetings and other events. The Kangaroo Flat Indoor Bowling Club was formed in 1934 and is still going in 2019.
The Table Tennis Club started in 1953, an added activity enjoyed by the locals. I must say that so far in my research I have not found any reference to student participation in the bowls and table tennis. Perhaps they wanted these activities for the locals only and didn’t want to get swamped by a mob of lads!
The dances were another matter though. Both Brian Condon and Bruce Eastick had attended these. Bruce ended up as MC in his last couple of years as a student. Bruce recalls that there was a fairly good supper laid on at the dance and to the young men at Roseworthy College, young women and good food were both attractive (especially as there was food rationing at the time). However, there was a bit of a scheme hatched by the senior students. Young women were chaperoned by their mothers who brought the supper. So to ensure a regular supply of supper, the First Years were directed to make sure all the girls had regular dances during the evening. There were to be no ‘wallflowers’ at this dance – if girls stopped attending it would decrease the supply of good suppers!
The band was a simple ensemble of a pianist and a basic drum kit. A piano accordion or other instruments joined in on some nights. The dances waned as motor transport became more common and Gawler became the main attraction for socialising. Many of us will remember the ‘New Boys Test’ as part of our initiation into life at the College in our first couple of weeks as First Years.
NEWS FROM THE ARCHIVES On a blank map of the college, among all the buildings, staff houses, landmarks, facilities etc to identify, there was an old galvanized iron hall at the very north of the staff houses along the road to Wasleys just short of the entrance to the old Piggery. This was known as the ‘Tin Tabernacle’. The proper name was actually the Kangaroo Flat Hall but no one at College seemed to know that. There didn’t seem to be much other information about it. It didn’t belong to the College and I don’t think any student had been in it for a long time when I started in 1968. The Tin Tabernacle – blast from the past!
The Hall is a great survivor given its age and wooden structure. There is reference in the Club Minutes to the Hall being treated for white ants in 1956. Perhaps they used DDT which, with a shelf life of 50 years, would account for its resilience, given it's still standing on wooden stumps 87 years later. Ms Evelyn Stanley, a descendent from one of the original families that started the Indoor Bowling Club, is now ‘anchor person’ for the club and has lived through its entire history. She very kindly agreed to show us around - the Hon Dr Bruce Eastick, David Purdie (Manager of Student Services) and myself.
The Hall interior is a step back in time, well preserved with accompanying memorabilia of honour rolls, tournament pennants, photos, framed certificates etc. If those walls could talk, a lot of local history would be recalled. Ref: Ref: The Roca Digest Autumn 2019 online

This hall has recently become private property.
For my fellow Bird Nerds! I couldn’t resist posting this crop. I love to zoom in on the feet of birds. They are beautiful, as well as prehistoric and dangerous looking to me. Great White Egrets are so elegant, but their feet are all business, with substantial claws. I also love the scales. This GWE was hanging out at Save Our Seabirds. He is wild, and he is free. I’m guessing he just likes the positive energy there and no doubt the occasional dropped fish during feeding time.
Hugs and thanks for viewing! =o)

Casas del Cuitu
El edificio —formado por un conjunto de cuatro casas— situado cerca de la estación de ferrocarril, presenta fachadas neobarrocas a las calles Uría (números 27 y 29) y a la calle Independencia, con una superficie total de 8 300 m. La finca era propiedad del indiano José Álvarez Santullano, que inició en 1913 el expediente para su construcción, con planos firmados por el maestro de obras Ulpiano Muñoz Zapata. La obra concluyó en 1917, siendo el primer edificio de altura en la acera izquierda de la calle Uría.
En 2002 fue comprado por la constructora local Propiedades Urbanas, S.A. (PRUSA) al Banco Herrero con la intención de rehabilitarlo para alquiler de oficinas. PRUSA intentó acelerar la salida de los inquilinos promoviendo la declaración de ruina del mismo. El juez denegó la declaración de ruina económica, en 2007, al valorar en menos de la mitad del valor del edificio, 8,5 millones de euros, las obras de mantenimiento y conservación a las que la constructora estaba obligada.

I wasn't trying to get a beautiful image here; this truck has always fascinated me. It is so out of place where it is parked, which is the parking lot of Meijer on West Main (Meijer is like a Tesco or a Super Walmart, for those of you not in the Midwest). All around are the shiny, colorful beetles of the shoppers, then there is this *thing.*
I've never seen it running but I'll bet that it could do serious damage to a shopping cart ("buggy" or "trolley" for those of you not from around here).
