The art of living the Easey life!

 You know that feeling when you get when you return from overseas, that kind of happy its over but then also sad. Well I didn’t really have much time to really think about it because i received a nice calls from the real estate letting us know that we were out....the love affair was over.....
Agent – You know how we wanted you to sign on for another 12 months?
Me – Yeah (here is comes….muttering)
Agent – Well sadly the owner’s sister wants to move in so you have 60 days to find another place. 
The owner has been checking out the place many time with and without builders in hand before we even got the boot…constantly we asked are you going to sell…oooh no no no not all….
Translation – “Sister moving in”Owner is looking to do some renovations and thought these silly buggers haven’t signed the new lease yet. Lets use the “sister” trick, revamp this sucker or maybe get “the block” in to do a number on it….lift the rent or sell, sell, sell!!
Its just like a relationship you see the signs that its over but you just don't wanna let go. But Its so easy and we have all this baggage together! Well furniture...
The art of Moving…
I love my house and it was my little sweet find! Low rent, big rooms, close to everything and cheeky name – Easey Street! I had been in a great house in Brunswick Street with terrible housemates...sorry I meant hermits! There were two girls and a pervert.
If you ever turned your back he would be lurking right behind you. He was like a cross between Mr Burns from the Simpson’s and Mr Bean. He would sliver into your room without you knowing always wanting to chat about random crap or ask questions that always seemed too personal. He got along well with the girls because they were all bitchy and had no lives.  At least with Mr Bean he spoke to my face, the girls thought the fridge was some kind of ouiji board where they could write their demands, dislikes and threats. 
Everyone always stayed in their room after they got home from their boring jobs and there was zero furniture in the lounge room... This sign should have set off warning bells in my head, if I had a bit more experienced in out of home living…..WARNIING, WARNING HERMITS ARE NEAR….WARNING YOU ARE LIVING WITH HERMITS!….When people have too much time on their hands and don’t do much they tend to bitch about the most trivial things. I had three of them to deal with….ahhh….if there was one speck of paper on the stairs they would bring it to me and say i did not do a good enough job. The house was spotless, like a hospital. I use to joke to friends that i was Cinderella and they were the ugly two step sisters and he was the step mother. 





















I guess the best thing is I had the top level to myself  but having a beautiful rocking house doesn’t mean anything when your unhappy and living with the socially retarded! 
So I went out into the world to create my own little humble abode and over the fourish years I have been here there have been many that have passed through. 

There were some great parties….lets take a walk down memory lane 


Bad Taste Party

A she being a he being a she…confused yet?? Tampon earring and pubes were my favourite part. 





































































Old and Easey Party!


Old And EaseyThere were oldies……





























Dolly and Maude (Lisa and Gina)Back in the day they were swinging now their just swinging their undies dry on a good windy day! 
 Easey - Easy


 Gina and Gary When the oldies were done with their fake saggy titties we made life a bit more easy!


      
Alice in Wonderland





























Australian 70's Party! 
Australian’s 70’s Party Everyone was suppose to come as something from the 70’s in Australia but I think the only person who achieved this was Lisa with cyclone Tracy which she had made out of holla hoops. 
Early Morning – Who has the best wig of all! Whoops red hair peaking through! 
Camera’s always seem to lie…but I am ok with that….10am looking good after gate crashing someone else’s house and doing a dance on their table knocking all their bottles over…..a hippy pipes up and says         “ Guys…guys….can youuuuu please not do that!” 


Rock Star Party 
Best party ever!! We had way too many people crammed into a small house and backyard. Two bands - The Youngs's and Wool house (metal band)....lets just say the neighbours were not too happy....i got to crowd surf in the lounge room and pretty much kissed the roof with my smeared make up....greeted cops dressed as courtney love...we met meow meow.....when the metal band the neighbours chucked flowwer at them but instead of pissing us off it made a great light smoke effect...too many people in my room and lisa's room and no one was left in the lounge! all round good times that just cant be repeated! 



****Everyone made sure they checked their cocks before they rocked out with them!****  

Bjork dropped into lay and egg!













Courtney and Amy fought it out





Playing some sweet tunes in the backyard!! 




             Kurt and Courtney were there


Closing Time -


Thank you Easey Street for providing a lovely place to live for four years with some lovely people that we have enjoyed good times and bad, tears and laughter, farting and orgasms, partying and spewing....ahh Easey street you were a beautiful find and you will always have a place in my heart! 


Love love love to all


my house mates new and old

Out Of Your Box

Pilot to Out of Your Box currently in production with a 10 part series for TV and Online. A web series that explores the boxes we tick to fit into society!


LOG LINE
‘Out of Your Box’ is a show all about exploring the boxes we trap ourselves in, from the rules of
society to the way we think and feel about our every day lives and the people around us.

CONCEPT
Everyday life seems to be sorted into boxes; the way we think and the boxes we tick in society
- male or female, student or employed, punk or goth, gay or straight.
‘Out of Your Box’ is a humorous and titilating exploration of getting out of your box and creating the life you want to live. It explores such topics as gender, age, sex, drugs, race and alternative lifestyles. Using interviews, skits and animations Out of Your Box delves into issues that affect Australians.

‘Out of Your Box’ provides audiences with a punchy, fast, visual burst of knowledge and exploration of contemporary issues, that may at times make audiences feel uncomfortable because they are forced to think differently or consider issues they never realized affected them. However after each episode audiences will get off the couch feeling affected, informed and entertained.

A major concept integrated in the structure of ‘Out of Your Box’ is that couch interviews are boring!

The ‘Out of Your Box’ team will conduct interviews in unusual situations, by placing subjects in
witty, quirky circumstances that liven the interview, making it playful and visually engaging for audiences.

Television is a visual medium, the good old sit down interview style is dated and un-stimulating!
Our provocative interview style pushes the audience out of their box. Because they are visually relishing an unconventional interview style which is combined with humor to ensure the audience is entertained as well as educated.

How do you get on the good side of Courtney Love?


How do you get on the good side of Courtney Love? Wrote a friend from my mentor group. I love how i can tell an idea to a person, they sit there and think about the idea and then go i will just send an email to a friend and see what he says. So she wrote how do you get on the good side of Courtney Love? I love Yes people!!

So the deal is i have always wanted to interview Courtney Love mainly because i am not interested in anyone else...Plus the admiration has never faded over the years!! I am not a person that is easily wowed by the famous i think we all sleep, eat, shit and die therefore everyone is just a person....but with Courtney i know that she is all those things but the things she has achieved many people only dream of doing them.

Her music and style was the generation of grunge and the riot girl movement. She was the so called "Ugly Duckling", thou i never thought she was ugly with that block nose, it had charm! She went from grunge goddess to A list. It was not just the change in looks that got her there, she is a ball of quick quirky intelligence and charm!

So the hunt is on! I have made a proposal that when she is in Melbourne for Soundwaves that i will get a swag of people to create a 1930's bathroom set and powder puff room for an interview to be conducted by yours truly. Thats right me and Courtney Love in a bathtub in a mock retro bathroom!!!

It will be for "Out Of Your Box"i think she has tried many boxes in her life time and would be an interesting guest, plus full fill one of my dreams!

I have approached her old myspace operator Jason, he has been lovely and wrote back straight away. The facebook Courtney Love/hole site manager, she was extremely helpful and gave me her Agency details. I then approached Soundwaves Manager, i had high hopes as he responded straight away but then there was nothing.....just tumble weed blowing down a lonely street in my heart! Awww! 

I have been thinking about this for a while and i think the interview would be visually fantastic, fun and make some great television/online viewing. There has been one of those annoying advertisements for a university on TV about achieving your dreams because you don't want it to be just a dream that you keep thinking oh i wish i tried or did that.....So i am turning down the idiot box and giving it a go!!

I have now sent a proposal to her Agent and i wait for their reply.......fingers and toes crossed everyone....

Love, Love, Love
