Sweetie darling mwah
It was with slight trepidation I signed up to cover Wellington Fashion Week. I do love clothes, but I don’t know anything about fashion shows. I’m willing to learn though, and it was a good chance to pull on my best shoes. Joanna and the Fly and I trotted off to the opening party on […]
A farewell
So, OMG, this is my final post for the Wellingtonista. I’m leaving this town for a more northerly location. I’m sad to leave Wellington and the W’ista, but it’s been a fun four years. I’ve met lots of cool people, had lots of amazing experiences and shared them with y’all. As my farewell, I present […]
Binge Culture takes on Lucrece
“Audience members will be seated close enough to touch the performers and viewers will be encouraged to think about the ways they look at women’s bodies – both on film and in the flesh.” No, that’s not the press release from Wellington Fashion Week. Instead, it’s Lucrece: An Adaptation of Shakespeare’s the Rape of Lucrece, […]
Feliz cumpleaños, La Boca Loca!
Our favourite Miramar Mexican restaurant is turning one, and to celebrate, they invited us along to learn how to make tortillas, and to taste some tequila.

Come to the WYFC’s first birthday, and help us celebrate our first year and bring in our second. In the last year we’ve helped raise […]
World Cinema Showcase 2012
After a splendid Wellington Film Festival last year, the New Zealand International Film Festival might be forgiven for putting their feet up and taking it easy but instead they have gone out of their way to produce another basket of goodies to fill the Easter weekend and beyond: the grandly titled World Cinema Showcase. Arguably […]
Glee meets V for Vendetta
Musicals aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. But if said musical is set in Wellington and involves the assassinations of Glee type characters it’s hard not to want to know more. Joshua Hopton Stewart has written a hilarious piece of musical theatre based on his team’s entry in the 2010 V48Hour Short Film Competition, Society Slump […]
