Tanks And Skanks
Went for a stroll to Wynyard Quarter yesterday. I think that a great job has been done and it's the perfect place to hold the Art Fair, Fashion Week and many other events in the future. It feels quite international.
I have already had hate mail about my supposed racially biased golliwog comments this week but that won’t stop me saying that there is a distinct lack of indigenous art on permanent display which I find refreshing.
The oceanic overload can be a bit overwhelming at times and there seems to have been a conscious effort to avoid it here.
There is something about being near the water on a nice day.
I can see a drunken model falling in the water this week as being very much on the cards. I hope she doesn't re-emerge with a mouthful of aggregated Sealord tuna.
