My personal Wellington highlights of 2011
We didn’t have the TAWAs this year, but lots of awesomeness still took place. Here’s a very self-indulgent look at what I particularly loved and didn’t – hopefully other Wellingtonistas will add their own posts too.
Bryan Pepperell – skeptic?
Turns out Wellington City Councillor Bryan Pepperell isn’t sure about the authenticity of the moon landings. On his facebook page, he states… The moon landings are an open question. Having worked in photography in the 1960’s I’m still trying to figure out how the films survived 280F. There are more unanswered questions but is it a […]
Unveiling Unveiled
Better than Christmas morning was how this non fashionista* described Monday morning at Te Papa when Tom and I witnessed Keira Miller from London’s Victoria & Albert Museum unpacking an embroidered silk satin wedding dress designed by Norman Hartnell in 1933. Keira is in Wellington to supervise the unpacking and setting up of Unveiled: 200 years […]
Craft2.0 brings you a Trunk Show
We’re not sure if you’ve heard yet but that mad season we call Christmas is just around the corner and if you’re like us you’ve probably got one or two people you still need to find the perfect gift for. You could pack your sneakers and your pink elbow guards and head out with the […]
No poison at this PoissonHead afterparty
We know that you are gutted (like a fish!) that you can’t party with us at the TAWAs this year (so gutted you couldn’t even comment, apparently). Luckily, we DO have a way for you to get your party on with some fabulous Wellington media types anyway! Presenting: the FishHead magazine afterparty! This Thursday December […]
Deluxe is deluxe
One of the most exciting and stimulating things about living in Wellington is the fact the our cinemas are continually reinvesting in their facilities and always trying to top each other in quality of fit out and customer experience. What have we done to deserve this!? This year the burghers of Miramar got the Ming […]
Urban Harvest
Urban Harvest is a Wellington-based company that delivers locally grown produce, meat and other culinary delights. For the festive season, they’ve branched out into Christmas hampers, and have opened a pop-up shop in their Mt Victoria headquarters (29 Hania St) for those who like to get up close with their yuletide nomz. The Wellingtonista were […]
Bright lights but tasty food at R&S Satay Noodle House
Over the past couple of months I have been reviewing Malaysian restaurants all around Wellington for Malaysia Kitchen (full disclosure – I got refunded some of the costs). It’s time to share the reviews! I have gone past R&S Satay Noodle House thousands of times in my life as it’s in a prime position but I’d never […]
Wendy’s comes to town
There have been rumours for a while that a Wendy’s was coming to Wellington, and finally I received a report from the Kapiti: a Wendy’s had just opened in Paraparaumu. Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers – not to be confused with the Australian ice cream parlour chain Wendy’s Supa Sundaes – is an American burger chain […]
