must have item of the day:

tell you what bunnies, i really like deborah kelly.

i've been a fan ever since i first came across her 'hey, hetero!' posters during one of my theory classes. these were of course posted all around sydney during the 2001 gay and lesbian mardi gras.


"advertising is everywhere, as familiar as the unconscious multitude of representations of heterosexuality. 'hey, hetero!' hopes to infiltrate the form and language of advertising and invest it with unsettling agency. it's cultural dissidence in a shiny new frock."

deborah kelly, artist/ writer

the must have item? well, i just came across another simple yet brilliant work of hers:
