To paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld: “what, is the deal, with all these nostalgia tours?”

Seriously though, what’s with all these one-hit-wonder throwback acts making a live comeback to our shores? The market for tours for bands from the 70s and 80s has always been strong, with even entire festivals based around the retro theme; but of late, we’ve been seeing a wave of “talents” from the 1990s and early 2000s announcing surprise Australian tours. And people... read more

It’s rare, if ever, that the discerning eyes of super stylist and ex-Vogue Paris editrix Carine Roitfeld are not rimmed in heavily smudged kohl. Her ouevre is devoted to clothes styling that screams sex appeal, and her personal makeup routine generally follows suit. We imagine that without the use of some industrial strength baby wipes, Roitfeld’s husband frequently wakes up to a wife... read more

OK guys, now this is just getting a little bit ridiculous.

Sure, we all “ooh”-ed and “aah”-ed when we first heard of Dr Dre’s plans to bring out a hologram Tupac for Coachella last weekend; we all were awestruck (and more than a little terrified) when he actually did it; and we’ve already heard ideas from Dre himself about bringing back Marvin Gaye and Jimi Hendrix through the same technology.

And now, we’ve got rumours of the Jackson 5 putting... read more

Delicacy is the sort of film that puts all of its eggs into one rather battered basket. The proverbial vessel in question is Audrey Tautou. The film relies indefatigably and unforgivably upon the premise that its audience believes Tautou to be the most beautiful, desirable woman in the world. In cinema, however, as in life, appearances can be deceiving. It is a lesson that directorial duo David and Stephane Foenkinos could do well to learn, for the glowing warmth of their lens... read more

!After a five years of downtime, Missy Higgins is back with a brand new video for the single ‘Unashamed Desire’. Directed by Natasha Pincus (Gotye ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’) the video features a blonde Missy and modern theatric dancers in an impressive choreographed routine. Check out the video above. Missy also goes on the road with ‘The Ol’ Razzle Dazzle Tour’, her first tour since 2007, throughout June/July ... read more

High heels have become a ‘sore’ point in the pages office lately – pun definitely intended. Between broken toes and nearly broken backs, it seems the old heels are going to need to take a time out. With fashion week looming, what does this mean for us? Will we be blacklisted if we wear flats all next week? I guess only time will tell. My physio will certainly say a big NO to my collection of 14cm heels. Lucky we discovered Dieppa Restrepo just in time. It... read more

A lick of red on the bottom of a shoe is enough to send any otherwise sensible woman with even a vague interest in the sartorial arts into spasms of desire. When it comes to designer heels, perhaps the most well-recognised name is Christian Louboutin. The designer’s finesse with footwear is unarguable. The staggering arches of his masterfully shaped creations may be crippling on an untrained foot, but, in the words... read more
